Patch notes for FIFA 19 title update 7 were revealed in a post on the official EA website.
Here’s what the latest FIFA 19 patch does:
GAMEPLAY
Since we last addressed gameplay before the holidays, we've been looking at player feedback closely to determine changes that would bring more impact to areas we hear about often. There were concerns over Goalkeeper movement and Timed Finesse accuracy, specifically from outside of the box, and we're hoping changes covered within today's update bring a welcomed improvement in these areas. As always, we'll continue to monitor feedback from our community.
SHOOTING
TIMED FINESSE
Addressed the following issues:
An issue where a timed finesse shot would always have less error than a non-timed finesse shot, even in situations where the timed finesse shot was red or yellow.
The level of error reduction for a timed finesse shot is now in line with the level of error reduction for other timed shots.
The accuracy of a yellow or red timed finesse shot was found to be too high and has been reduced. This change will impact the likelihood of these shots resulting in goals scored.
The ball speed of a yellow or red timed finesse shot was found to be too high and has been reduced. This change will impact the likelihood of these shots resulting in goals scored.

Timed Finishing Window
Maximum size of the Timed Finishing window for a green timed shot is now reduced.
The hope for these changes is that it will directly address situations where players were finding it too easy to achieve green timed shots that were coming from a long pass, a cross or when queuing up a shot after a knock on during a run.
The impact of this change will scale with a higher impact on shots where the time between the initial button press to take the shot and the button press to perform Timed Finishing is longer.
For example, a first time finesse shot where the ball is coming from a long distance away, or when queuing up a shot after a long knock on
