GR+ recently revealed the list of Premier League players who received winter upgrades in FIFA 17 Ultimate Team – but it's not good news for everyone.
A select few have received an especially distinctive 'reward', being downgraded for their abject performances (or missing games through injury) this campaign.
Inevitably, Manchester City keeper Claudio Bravo is the most high profile downgrade. His overall rating drops from 85 to 83 following a disastrous season borrowing Joe Hart's slip-ons.

I'm GamesRadar's freelance sports editor, and obsessed with NFL, WWE, MLB, AEW, and occasionally things that don't have a three-letter acronym – such as Chvrches, Bill Bryson, and Streets Of Rage 4. (All the Streets Of Rage games, actually.) Even after three decades I still have a soft spot for Euro Boss on the Amstrad CPC 464+.
