By Jessica Ferrera, Christian Post Contributor Wednesday, March 07, 2018

A long list of athletes that included Philippe Coutinho and Jordi Alba of FC Barcelona got a  boost in rankings in the latest refresh of the La Liga ratings on "FIFA 18."

Electronic Arts Sports issued a patch in February that introduced the Ratings Refresh feature. With this, "hundreds of FUT 18 player items will have their ratings permanently updated."

The latest refresh was applied just last week and came with a long list of athletes whose rankings also got boosted. Philippe Coutinho and Sergio Busquets of FC Barcelona both moved from rank 86 up to 87. Coutinho gained +2 points on his shooting, +1 point each on his passing, dribbling and physicality. Meanwhile, Busquets improved his shooting by 3 points and his dribbling by 4 points.
