Newcastle United star Allan Saint-Maximin given big FIFA 20 upgrade

Newcastle United winger Allan Saint-Maximin has been given a big FIFA 20 upgrade by EA SPORTS, after the latest player database update was released, available now for gamers on Xbox, PS4 and PC.

Despite no football being played over the last few weeks, the guys over at EA SPORTS have decided that Saint-Maximin's attributes needed a boost in order to be as realistic as possible, and boost them they have.

So, which of his attributes have been upgraded? And, what is his new overall rating?

Here are the latest updates to the Newcastle United squad on FIFA 20 as of April 22, 2020.

The Newcastle winger has been given upgrades to two of his major attacking attributes, but that has led to a significant upgrade in terms of overall rating.

Saint-Maximin's crossing (66-69) and curve (72-73) attributes have been boosted by EA SPORTS, which has led to the overall rating upgrade. This increases have led to the Frenchman's overall rating being increased from 79 to 80, making him Newcastle United's highest rated outfield player on FIFA 20, above Fabian Schar (79), Miguel Almiron (78), Danny Rose (78) and Jonjo Shelvey (78).

But because the 23-year-old has an impressive potential rating of 86 on the game, Saint-Maximin has the potential to become one of the best players in the league on FIFA 20, if you manage him correctly on Career Mode. With an impressive 93 acceleration, 93 sprint speed, 90 dribbling, five-star skill moves and four-star weak foot, Saint-Maximin is a player who you can build your team around on the game.

The Magpies best player on FIFA 20 remains goalkeeper Martin Dubravka, who is rated at 82 overall on the game.

What do you make to these changes to Saint-Maximin's profile on FIFA 20?
