Calling all FIFA 18 fans. 'The Winter Ones To Watch' have finally dropped as the likes of Alexis Sanchez, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Philippe Coutinho are now available on the Ultimate Team market.

Just days after the January transfer window slammed shut, a total of 11 Premier League players have changed clubs on the new update.

Here is a list of the players who have new clubs on FIFA 18:

Alexis Sanchez - Manchester United - 89
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang - Arsenal - 88
Diego Costa- Atletico Madrid - 86
Aymeric Laporte - Manchester City - 84
Virgil van Dijk - Liverpool - 83
Philippe Coutinho - Barcelona - 86
Henrikh Mkhitaryan - Arsenal - 85
Michy Batshuayi - Borussia Dortmund - 80
Lucas Moura - Tottenham - 82
Inigo Martinez - Athletic Bilbao - 82
Theo Walcott- Everton - 80

Carlos Tevez is another player who will appear with a new club on FIFA 18 Ultimate Team, but many believe his rating is a tad underwhelming.

The Argentina has returned to Boca Juniors for a third spell after "a seven-month holiday" in China with Shanghai Shenhua, where he offered little but raked in the big bucks.

With EA Sports not owning the rights to the Chinese Super League, a plethora of elite-level players, including Tevez, have been exempt from the FIFA series.

But having made the move back to his native Argentina to play in the Superliga, which is included in FIFA 18, the well-travelled striker is back in the game.

His last appearance was as an 83-rated striker in FIFA 17 but upon his return, the 33-year old is now five ratings worse off - boasting an overall rating of 78.

Given he's getting on a bit, Tevez' physical stats have also taken a dip. His acceleration is 74 and his sprint speed is 71, which means his pace will be in the low 70's.

A few years back, the former Manchester United and Manchester City striker was an absolute machine on the game.

On FIFA 12, with his 88-rated card possessing impressive stats such as 84 pace, 87 shooting, 83 dribbling and 91 finishing, he was insane.

No longer in the peak of his powers, Tevez in FIFA 18 is a very different kettle of fish but it isn't exactly all bad - as he does have 82 composure and 85 shot power.

Thoughts on the new upgrades?
