NIF Mahrez 84 and his first IF (85) have the same DEF and PHY. I've read this on Twitter quite often just not seen it being mentioned here.

As an update to my edit to the original post which added the other issues about the refresh. An update on issues 1 and 2 has been posted on the official fifa forums here:
http://fifaforums.easports.com/en/discussion/comment/6796441/#Comment_6796441
On issue 3, which is the original bug complaint on this thread, they are still investigating.
Just to add to the original post, @EA_Andy. Some new cards coming into the system are still getting bugged similarly to Son and Pogba. As noted by some users on the fifa forums, Thiago Silva's new inform card is affected. He got a +1 increase in face card stats on defense yet in game there is no increase. On the official FUT database we see the correct stats like with Son and Pogba.
Thiago Silva nif (in game)
IF Silva (in game):
IF Silva (database):
https://www.easports.com/fifa/ultimate-team/fut/database/player/164240/Thiago%20Silva#50495888
So like with the other players I found, the database seems to be applying the correct stats base on face card values while in-game not all increases are applied.

Mattia Perin also needs an upgrade to his IF as the reflexes (91) are the same on the new gold card as his in form version.

This needs to be fixed asap.

Few more things about Ligue 1 upgrades
IF & SIF Fekir - got only +1 (NIF card got +2)
IF & SIF Thauvin - no upgrade (NIF card got +1)
IF & SIF Luiz Gustavo - no upgrade (NIF card got +2)
I hope it will be fixed soon.

UPGRADES
If an upgraded player’s new OVR rating equals or surpasses his existing first in-form’s rating, his IFs will get an upgrade.
2.1. An exception is made for lower rated players with significant upgrades.
2.2. Does not apply to Ultimate Scream items.
RULE 3
THE BOOST
If an upgraded player’s new OVR rating does not equal or surpass his existing in-form’s rating, his IFs will not get an upgrade.
If a NIF card is upgraded to 77, his IF card may be updated to 82
If a NIF card is upgraded to 78, his IF card may be updated to 82
If a NIF card is upgraded to 79, his IF card may be updated to 83
If a NIF card is upgraded to 80, his IF card may be updated to 83
If a NIF card is upgraded to 81, his IF card may be updated to 84
If a NIF card is upgraded to 82, his IF card may be updated to 84
If a NIF card is upgraded to 83, his IF card may be updated to 85
If a NIF card is upgraded to 84, his IF card may be updated to 86
If a NIF card is upgraded to 85, his IF card may be updated to 86
If a NIF card is upgraded to 86, his IF card may be updated to 87
If these rules still apply, before I go, here are just 2 conflicting examples I want to forward.
Ex1
Fabinho gold card 83->84. Futmas card 24h after Ligue 1 release, 85->86 rated
Mbappe gold card 83->84. IF RW card still 85 rated
Ex2
Goretzka gold card 82->83. 4h after Bundes refresh, IF Goretzka 84->85
Heung Min Son gold card 82->83. 84 IF Son still same rating
These are just 2 examples of a few dussin. How is this explained, and will this be addressed?

If that is the way refresh works...what about Saul going from 82 to 83 and his IF still being 84?
the same for Firmino, and a lot more players for sure...
The most incredible case is Coutinho IF being 87 while his regular new card is 87 as well with almoust the same stats... His winter refresh is due to his performance in Liverpool and Barcelona, so why should we have his IF from Liverpool devaluated?
Please EA give Coutinho IF an 88 and a bump!
