Coutinho, Casemiro and Paulinho get boost in FIFA FUT 18 ratings refresh

EA Sports' winter upgrades of FIFA 18 players began on February 23, with La Liga the latest division to get an overall ratings refresh.

Philippe Coutinho, Paulinho, Casemiro and Filipe Luis are among the players in the Spanish top flight to have seen their ratings improve after a strong first half of the season.

Barcelona invested £142 million on faith in Coutinho during the January transfer window, and the Brazilian's efforts at Liverpool and during his early days at Camp Nou have seen his overall rating nudged up one point from 86 to 87. Domestic and international team-mate Paulinho also sees his score heading in the right direction, while Marc-Andre ter Stegen, Sergio Busquets and Jordi Alba are other Barca stars to get a boost.
