Liverpool striker Rhian Brewster has sent a spine tingling warning to his opponents after the FIFA 19 ratings were released.
EA Sports have been drip feeding player ratings for the latest instalment of their smash-hit game, and Brewster seems to have got his hands on his own rating.
And the young striker has issued a proclamation to the game as well as the rest of the league. And it’s going to be excellent for the Reds, believe me.
Brewster is currently rated a 62, with decent stats for pace, dribbling and shooting. In fact, at 77 the starlet is a quick forward already – but he’s declared that one key attribute will be in the mid 80s next season.
That 60 Shooting will be 85 by next season, believe that! 🔥 @EASportsFIFA pic.twitter.com/62bi1msF5x

The 18-year-old only signed his first professional contract this summer, and Liverpool were afraid they’d lose him after interest emerged from Germany and around the globe.
After winning the golden ball at the U17 World Cup, Brewster is keen for first team chances and you’d imagine that’s what manager Jurgen Klopp offered him in order to secure that deal.
Danny Ings was let go in the summer, but there is still a lot of competition for places in the Liverpool squad. Daniel Sturridge seems to be the backup option right now, but Klopp also has Divock Origi and Dominic Solanke to call on.
Brewster will have to work hard in training and catch first team bosses’ eyes during U23 games if he is to leapfrog those three strikers and get time on the pitch.
Liverpool next play in the Premier League on Saturday as they take on Tottenham Hotspur at 12:30pm.
Hugo Lloris and Dele Alli are due to miss the fixture, which will be a boost to the Reds – who can field a near fully fit first XI. Alli is still injured after pulling out of England duty, while Lloris will be absent due to his drink driving conviction.
