FIFA 20 Winter Refresh is an upcoming FIFA Ultimate Team promotion in which EA Sports upgrades base gold cards for players who have shined in the first half of the international soccer season.

It's the only time of the year in which base gold cards are upgraded. If base gold cards are given a big enough upgrade, their subsequent special cards would also receive upgrades.

Winter Refresh is also expected to add Prime Icon Moments cards to packs and refresh the League Squad Building Challenges with new players among other changes.

FIFA 20 Winter Refresh: 5 Players Expected to Receive Upgrades

Here are five players expected to receive FIFA 20 Winter Refresh upgrades.

Erling Haaland FIFA 20

Erling Haaland has taken the world by storm. After tearing it up in the Champions League group stage with Red Bull Salzburg, he transferred to Borussia Dortmund. He even scored a hat-trick off the bench in his debut. He's likely to receive a Future Stars card as well alongside his upgrade to, at minimum, a non-rare gold card.

Wissam Ben Yedder FIFA 20

Wissam Ben Yedder just received his Ligue 1 Player of the Month card for December. On top of his two in-forms, AS Monaco's striker has been the team's standout performer. Expect him to get boosted to 84 overall.

Jamie Vardy FIFA 20

Jamie Vardy is too good of a striker in the Premier League to have an 82 base card. He's already received two in-forms and a Premier League POTM card. He should get boosted to an 83 or 84.

Timo Werner FIFA 20

Timo Werner is tearing up the Bundesliga and players on the pitch in FIFA Ultimate Team. He's got insane pace and a multitude of special cards. Back-to-back Bundesliga POTM cards should result in a boost to an 84 or 85.

Trent Alexander-Arnold FIFA 20

He's the best right back in the world. Trent Alexander-Arnold was rewarded as such with a Team of the Year card. At 83 overall, expect TAA to follow in the footsteps of Virgil Van Dijk's card from FIFA 19. A big boost is coming for Liverpool's young star.
