As the release date of football video game FIFA 16 edges closer, an increasing amount of details have been announced in the public domain. The one thing that often sparks debate are the ratings that players have been given, which often create discussions among the playing community. As a result, we took the opportunity to look at the top five FIFA 16 player upgrades at West Ham United, from its predecessor FIFA 15.

5. Dimitri Payet (78 to 81, +3)

A boosting of three is more than warranted for the Frenchman, who also finds himself with a position change from the left of midfield to the centre.

4. Carl Jenkinson (71 to 74, +3)

An impressive loan spell at Upton Park has rewarded the Englishman with a rather large ratings boost, and was perhaps unlucky to not be a gold card.

3. Aaron Cresswell (70 to 73, +3)

Cresswell has been a great signing for the club, so much so he has even been touted for an England call-up. As a result, his card has increased by three.

2. Cheikhou Kouyate (71 to 75, +4)

Kouyate has been given the highest upgrade out of the entire squad, and rightly so. Not only has his rating jumped up by four, but his previous silver card has been promoted to a gold one.

1. Diafra Sakho (70 to 74, +4)

Another Senegalese player to have his rating upgraded by four, Sakho’s impressive debut Premier League season has reaped rewards.
