FIFA 20 Carniball Predictions
The Carniball players will receive boosted cards, each hailing from either Argentina, Belgium, Brazil, France, Germany, Italy, Spain or the USA.
Here’s who we expect to feature in FIFA 20.
Sergio Aguero (OVR 93)
Goal-machine Sergio Aguero could be one of the biggest names to receive a Carniball boost! The Argentinian star has scored 16 goals in just 19 Premier League games so far this season and is showing no signs of slowing down.
A Carniball card could become his highest-rated FUT card of the season with 93 overall. It would add to the list of special cards he already boasts which include a Halloween card, a TOTY Nominee and a POTM!
Roberto Firmino (OVR 91)
With Liverpool running away with the Premier League, don’t be surprised to see Roberto Firmino receive a Carniball card in the coming weeks. The Brazilian forward has featured in every game of Liverpool’s incredible run so far and is a crucial player to their system.

Another player who could receive an incredible upgrade, Firmino’s OVR could rise as high as 91! A carniball card would add to his collection of IF, Halloween, Hero and TOTY Nominee cards.
Koke (OVR 90)
Atletico Madrid captain Koke has been one of the most consistent performers in Europe for several seasons now. Atletico’s challenging season and injuries have prevented Koke from his best form, however the versatile Spaniard would slot into most teams around Europe.
A place in EA’s Carniball squad for Spanish international Koke could see his overall rise as high as 90!
