Liverpool’s Diogo Jota turns savage after packing Everton player in FIFA 21 EA SPORTSDiogo Jota might have been out of action for some time for Liverpool now, but he’s certainly not forgotten his allegiances to the historic club — even in FIFA 21 Ultimate Team. In case you haven’t already been made aware, Diogo Jota is perhaps the best FIFA player in the Premier League. He’s no stranger to 30-0 FUT Champs performances and has even started his own esports company. That said, he knows where his bread is buttered, and, after pulling an Everton player from an Ultimate Team pack, he had to show his commitment to the red side of the city. After acquiring an 84-rated Michael Keane, there was obviously a case of inner turmoil. On one hand, he’s a decent player to have, at least sitting in his Club ready for the big SBCs. On the other hand, he plays for Jota’s biggest rival – even though the winger has revealed his love for Everton in the past. Read More: Fastest players in FIFA 21 – After his chat suggested Diogo should simply Quick Sell the card for around 10,000 coins, Jota took a couple of moments and decided to accept his loss, laughing at the decision and seeing the center-back out of his club. Of course, it’s not a huge loss, with 88-rated Raphael Varane and 86-rated Kyle Walker holding it down at the back, but as mentioned, Keane could have had other uses. When @DiogoJota18 gets an Everton player on Ultimate Team… 😂 pic.twitter.com/SkjnV2nHJ8 — Dexerto Sports (@DexertoFC) March 1, 2021 We can’t imagine Jota is short of coins, but he probably could have picked up around 30k if he sold Keane on the Transfer Market, a loss of around 20k overall. Will it make much of a difference to his Ultimate Team at the end of the day? Definitely not. But will it endear him to Liverpool fans, who are already begging for his return from injury, even more? Absolutely. Liverpool might be having a serious off-year as reigning champions of the Premier League, but at least Jota is still holding it down for them in the virtual game.

Liverpool’s Diogo Jota has incredible FIFA 21 Ultimate Team revealed EA SportsLiverpool and Portugal star Diogo Jota has had his incredible FIFA 21 Ultimate Team revealed, and it’s no surprise how strong it is given the forward’s obvious talent in EA Sports’ title. Many Liverpool fans have been delighted with the impact made by Diogo Jota after he signed for the Merseyside club from Wolves during the 2020 summer transfer window. His pace and quick feet have offered an effective alternative to the established front three, and his impact has already been borne out in some important goals and performances. Unfortunately, Jota picked up a pretty bad injury back in December and has been sidelined ever since. It seems he’s spending some of his recovery time on FIFA, and his Ultimate Team has now been revealed. We’ve already heard of his talents when it comes to FIFA, going an unbeaten 30-0 in FUT Champs back on FIFA 20. His team back then was impressive, but this one is just as strong. Read More: How to complete Okocha ICON SBC in FIFA 21 – Shared by one Redditor who came up against Jota in Champs, there’s a spot for four of his Premier League colleagues. Nick Pope is in goal, with Adama Traore’s FUT Freeze card at LB. Teammate Joe Gomez is at LCB, with Man City rival Kyle Walker at RCB. James Tavernier’s Headliners card rounds off the most meta back five we’ve probably ever seen. Into midfield, and meta players swap for pure powerhouses. Vieira, CR7, and Ruud Gullit make up a central three, in behind Diogo Jota’s own 99 OVR pro card. Hirving Lozano’s Headliners card and R9 Ronaldo round off a truly terrifying team. The full team and their ratings are listed below. Diogo Jota’s FIFA 21 Ultimate Team GK: Nick Pope (82) – RB: James Tavernier (86) – CB: Kyle Walker (86) – CB: Joe Gomez (85) – LB: Adama Traore (84) – CDM: Patrick Vieira (88) – CDM: Ruud Gullit (90) – CM: Cristiano Ronaldo (92) – LW: Diogo Jota (99) – RW: Hirving Lozano (87) – ST: Ronaldo (94) – With a team like this and Jota’s in-game talents combined, it’s no surprise that he has a reputation as one of the very best pro footballers when it comes to FIFA. We hope to see him back on the pitch in real life soon.

Liverpool’s Diogo Jota explains “passion” for FIFA 21 and esports EA SPORTSWhile he may be causing an absolute storm on the pitch for Liverpool FC, Portuguese attacker Diogo Jota has spoken out about his other huge passion: esports and playing FIFA 21. Just like the rest of us, clearly the winger can’t resist firing up his console on his days off and loading into FIFA 21. After all, he’s already proven himself as one of the best FIFA players in the Premier League, including an impressive 30-0 Weekend League performance in FIFA 20. As is made clear now, though, Jota is more than simply a talented fan of the game, but has a clear, unfaltering love for competitive gaming as a whole. Jota on FIFA 21 and esports Speaking with The Athletic, Jota talks about his career thus far, his idolization of players such as Cristiano Ronaldo and much more. Though, he eventually turns to the topic of esports — a lifelong passion of his. “Since my dad gave me my first PlayStation as a kid, it’s been like another passion of mine. I always played football on it,” he said. “I always liked games where you can manage your own team. In the world of esports, I feel like I can have three things all together — my passion for football, the competition of playing against other people and also managing.” That wasn’t all, though. After beating now-Liverpool teammate Trent Alexander-Arnold in the final of the FIFA 20 ePremier League Invitational, the 23-year-old says that he thinks Arnold is “looking for revenge” — so expect a rematch down the line. As well as FIFA, Diogo also stated that he’s a huge Football Manager fan, and has been patiently awaiting the latest FM21 for “something interesting to do, project-wise.” While Jota is clearly a talented player, he isn’t content with being on the outside of the esports bubble, and clearly has plans to get himself fully immersed in the industry down the line. “I started looking at professional esports players and how they do things,” he said. “I started playing better myself because I had the opportunity to look at them and learn with them. I started thinking, ‘Why don’t I get involved?’ “That’s what we are trying to do now. Me and my team, we are looking to find a way to get into this business. We are in the perfect conditions. I hope that soon this will be a proper thing.” What comes of Jota’s desire to venture into esports remains to be seen, but he’s clearly taken a very keen interest the industry, and we should expect to see his name a lot more in the gaming world in 2021.

Liverpool youngster Harvey Elliot’s stacked FIFA 21 Ultimate Team revealed EA SPORTSLiverpool’s young star, Harvey Elliott, who is spending the year on loan with Blackburn Rovers, has had his stacked FIFA 21 Ultimate Team revealed. Liverpool have always been one Premier League club that give youngsters a chance, even when some fans might not think the time is right. They’ve had some incredible homegrown talents in the past, and there is a decent crop trying to come through now headlined by Curtis Jones and Harvey Elliott. Elliott, who came through the ranks at Fulham before joining the Reds, is spending the campaign on loan at Blackburn Rovers, and has starred in their bid to make it into the promotion race. Though, he’s always got some time for FIFA as well. Harvey Elliott’s FIFA 21 Ultimate Team The 17-year-old was spotted by Redditor Gledger in FUT Champs Weekend League on February 13, with his stacked team looking to be a bit of an issue. Read More: FIFA 21 FUT Birthday countdown – Gledger noted that they’d apparently beaten Elliott 2-0, which is no mean feat given he has an icon-filled side, including the 95-rated Pele and Maradona, as well as a 91-overall Eusebio, and an 88-rated Patrick Vieira. Of course, it’s Elliott’s 99-rated custom pro player card that stands out. The maxed-out card shots in at CAM in the 4-2-3-1 setup, and is no doubt a nightmare for anyone to play against. GK: Jan Oblak – 93 – LB: Ferland Mendy – 83 – RB: Kyle Walker – 85 – CB: Raphael Varane – 86 – CB: Diego Carlos – 87 – CDM: N’Golo Kante – 89 – CDM: Patrick Vieira – 88 – CAM: Diego Maradona – 95 – CAM: Pele – 95 – CAM: Harvey Elliott – 99 – ST: Eusebio – 91 – The youngster could easily make a swap at right-back to complete the La Liga-themed backline, and it’d also give 100 chemistry too. Or, he could simply go for another Icon to add to his collection as well. Despite his impressive cards, the meta choices of Varane and Mendy will bring a smile to the face of most FUT Champs players. Not even Premier League players can avoid using them.

Liverpool FC plans for ‘LFC Gaming’ revealed with FIFA integration EA SPORTS, LiverpoolChampions League finalists Liverpool F.C. has announced the launch of LFC Gaming, a platform to connect with fans via tournaments for FIFA and other gaming titles. The Anfield club is one of the most popular on Earth, with a fanbase that stretches far beyond its English territory. In order to expand its reach beyond just sports, it has announced a collaboration with community engagement platform Rival to launch LFC Gaming. Liverpool FC reveals LFC Gaming LFC Gaming, announced on May 11, offers fans a way to compete in tournaments in the FIFA football sim under the umbrella of the popular English club. Read More: Will FIFA 23 be EA’s next football game? – Tournaments for LFC Gaming start as early as May 13, and require players to create an account on the Rival website to participate. As of now, FIFA is the only game LFC Gaming is hosting tournaments for, but could certainly integrate games like Call of Duty and Apex Legends in the future. FIFA as we know it is going to change in the future as the ‘FIFA’ title will be dropped for the newly revealed ‘EA SPORTS FC.’ FIFA 23 will be the final game in the series to have the name in the title and after that, it will transfer over to the new EA SPORTS FC branding for the next installment. As video games continue to become a growth area in the professional space, look out for more football clubs beyond Liverpool to expand into competitive gaming.

Liverpool’s Trent Alexander-Arnold’s overpowered FIFA 21 Ultimate Team revealed Graphics: EA SPORTSLiverpool’s Trent Alexander-Arnold has had his ridiculously strong FIFA 21 Ultimate Team revealed, with a few Premier League rivals making the cut. While footballers have opened up about playing FIFA in the past, there is a growing number of stars who are pretty into the competitive side of Ultimate Team and go pretty hard when it comes to building a squad and playing FUT Champs. Back in April, Trent Alexander-Arnold represented Liverpool in the ePremier League event, going all the way to the final where he was expected to win. Though, he was taken down by now-teammate Diogo Jota. The flying full-back had a pretty impressive team back then in FIFA 20, and it’s a similar story with FIFA 21 – as his ridiculously strong Ultimate Team has been revealed. Alexander-Arnold’s team surfaced after Redditor MojetskiNoah said their friend had come up against the Liverpool star. Read More: FIFA 21 Premier League POTM predictions – It’s no surprise, given his background in FIFA, that the right-back has followed the classic 4-2-3-1 formation, with his 99-rated pro player card in the heart of midfield. There are places for his Liverpool defensive colleagues Alisson and Virgil Van Dijk, as well as Premier League rivals Kyle Walker and Bruno Fernandes. Fernandes’ 97-rated Team of the Year card makes the cut alongside a 98-rated Cristiano Ronaldo and the 90-overall Ruud Gullit in attack. GK: Alisson – 90 – RB: Kyle Walker – 85 – LB: Ferland Mendy – 83 – CB: Raphael Varane – 86 – CB: Virgil Van Dijk – 90 – CDM: Trent Alexander-Arnold – 99 – CDM: Kylian Mbappe – 97 – CAM: Ronaldo – 94 – CAM: Bruno Fernandes – 97 – CAM: Ruud Gullit – 90 – ST: Cristiano Ronaldo – 98 – What is also interesting about the right-backs team is how he plays Mbappe and himself at CDM, while Ronaldo Nazario operates just ahead of them. He must have some pretty interesting custom tactics to make it all worth. At the end of the day, it’s a lineup that most FIFA players can only dream about owning. Hopefully, his 99-rated pro player card plays a bit better in-game than Thibaut Courtois’, after the Belgian revealed that he opts to use his Team of the Week version instead.

Liverpool fans won’t like Diogo Jota’s FIFA 22 Ultimate Team EA SPORTSLiverpool star Diogo Jota has had his FIFA 22 Ultimate Team starting 11 revealed, and fans of the English team won’t be impressed with some of his selections. Jota has cemented himself as arguably the best FIFA player in the Premier League. In FIFA 21 he had at least one 30-0 FUT Champs performance, and even beat his Liverpool teammate Trent Alexander-Arnold in the final of the FIFA 20 ePremier League invitational. The Liverpool star doesn’t seem to be slowing down any time soon, either, and is back on the Ultimate Team grind in FIFA 22, seeking to maintain his position as one of the best in the game. With a selection of ICONs and the most expensive players in the game, here’s how Jota’s team looks. Diogo Jota’s FIFA 22 Ultimate Team revealed While you would typically expect professional footballers to load their team with teammates — especially with the weapons available from Liverpool — Jota actually goes in the opposite direction. Foregoing options such as Virgil Van Dijk, Mohamed Salah or Alisson Becker, Jota even neglects to include himself in his team. Here’s how he sets his squad up, courtesy of FUT opponent NadimmDs_: GK: Yashin (91) – RB: Hakimi (85) – CB: Marquinhos (89) – CB: Varane (86) – LB: Mendy (83) – RM: Messi (93) – CM: Vieira (88) – LM: Mbappe (91) – CAM: Gullit (90) – CAM: R9 Ronaldo (94) – ST: CR7 Ronaldo (91) – It’s fair to say that this is one of the strongest teams you’ll see in FIFA 22, especially at this stage of the season. With EA SPORTS removing pro players’ 99-rated cards for FIFA 22, they’re not quite getting the same advantage they would have had in seasons past, but Jota’s record speaks for itself, 99-rated card or not. Now, he’s got to explain to his Liverpool teammates why they’re not good enough for his squad…

Liverpool fans will love Diogo Jota’s unique FIFA 21 FUT Champs team Graphics: EA SPORTSLiverpool star Diogo Jota has been using a unique FIFA 21 Ultimate Team line-up in FUT Champs that Reds fans will love as its full of his teammates. Just like everyone else, football stars love to unwind with a few games of FIFA. However, just like on the pitch, some are much better than others. In the Premier League, Liverpool’s Diogo Jota is the undisputed king. He won last year’s ePremier League event, defeating now-teammate Trent Alexander-Arnold in the final. Plus, he’s gone 30-0 on FUT Champs Weekend League more than once. The Portuguese forward’s usual Ultimate Team is the same as others – his 99-rated Pro Player card lines up up-front while he’s surrounded by Icons. However, during the March 19-March 22 round of FUT Champs, he’s busted out a unique team. Doing away with all the ICONs and top-rated players in FIFA 21, Jota instead went for a team that is full of his Liverpool teammates. Though, he’s not just using their base cards. Read More: FIFA 21 FUT Birthday countdown – His 99-rated Pro Player card lines up alongside Team of the Year Virgil Van Dijk and Alexander-Arnold, while in-form Roberto Firmino and Joe Gomez also get a start. Future Stars Curtis Jones and Freeze Sadio Mane lead the line as well. It’s only Alisson who is represented by his base card, which Jota must prefer instead of his Champions League version. Diogo Jota’s all-Liverpool FIFA 21 Ultimate Team GK: Alisson – 89 – RB: Trent Alexander-Arnold – 96 – CB: Joe Gomez – 85 – CB: Virgil Van Dijk – 96 – LB: Andrew Robertson – 91 – CDM: Gini Wijnaldum – 89 – CM: Mohamed Salah – 94 – CM: Diogo Jota – 99 – CAM: Roberto Firmino – 88 – ST: Curtis Jones – 88 – ST: Sadio Mane – 92 – ➡️ LIVERPOOL FC Weekend League Challenge 💥@DiogoJota18 will play his WL with full @LFC squad! 🗓️ Today ⏲️ 8 pm (🇵🇹/🇬🇧) 💻 https://t.co/mVr2ne2z2eSee you later! 😎 pic.twitter.com/p8OYVhxhKt — Luna Galaxy Esports (@LunaGalaxy_gg) March 20, 2021 Though Liverpool have been struggling this season, they’re not short on special cards in FIFA 21. Jota could easily make some upgrades, mainly taking Freeze Firmino over his Team of the Week card. Regardless of that, it is a unique line-up, representing his club side in a way we’ve only really seen from one other pro before – Real Madrid’s Vinicius Jr.

Liga NOS TOTSSF: How to complete Diaz SBC & Mathieu Objectives in FIFA 20 EA SPORTSThe Liga NOS TOTS So Far has been released in FIFA 20 Ultimate Team (FUT), and with it two untradeable players – Luis Diaz, that’s available via SBC, and Jeremy Mathieu, which is an Objectives card. There’s no better feeling than seeing EA SPORTS brighten up a Monday by releasing yet another TOTSSF squad, the latest one being for Portugal’s first division, Liga NOS. In addition to the 11 players released in packs, there are also two untradeables that players can unlock via SBC or Objectives – a 90-rated Luis Diaz for FC Porto and 91-rated Jeremy Mathieu of Sporting Lisbon. Diaz & Mathieu TOTSSF in-game This is only Luis Diaz’s second card in FIFA 20, and it’s an upgrade that every low-rated player would dream of, going from a 75 non-rare gold to 90 TOTS. Read More: FIFA 21 La Liga highest ratings predictions – Overall, the stats are pretty fantastic, especially when it comes to pace, shooting, and dribbling – the three most important things when it comes to attacking wing players. As for Mathieu, what his card may lack in pace (at least compared to other TOTSSF centerbacks), it more than makes up for it in defending and physicality. What’s more, his 6’2″ height and medium/high work rates are perfect in central defense, so the item certainly has all the makings of an excellent CB, probably the best in Liga NOS. Read More: Samir Nasri’s squad revealed in FUT 20 – While there might be better French CB options, such as Varane, Upamecano, and others, this card is completely free, so even for just the 91 rating alone and the fact that it’s a TOTSSF, it’s definitely worth going for. Diaz SBC requirements, solution, cost Luis Diaz’s TOTSSF SBC has only one squad building component, which is why it’s relatively inexpensive to complete. FIFA database FUTBIN projects it to currently cost around 55,000 coins on PS4, 52,000 on Xbox One, and 55,000 on Origin PC. Players from Liga NOS: Min 1 – Squad rating: Min 84 – Team chemistry: Min 75 – Players in squad: 11 – Here is the current cheapest solution for this SBC, without requiring any loyalty or the use of position-change cards. Of course, with how player prices are always fluctuating in the FUT Market, the cost could go up or down depending on when you attempt it. Mathieu TOTSSF Objectives In order to unlock Jeremy Mathieu’s TOTSSF card, you must complete the specific set of four Objectives that are already available in-game. The good news is that they can all be done in Squad Battles, so you don’t have to worry about coming up against tough opponents in Division Rivals, although you do have the option of completing the challenges online as well. What’s more, each individual Objective also has its own reward – a combination of XP and packs that could yield also yield a high-rated card. LaLiga Libero: Score 2 goals in 2 separate Squad Battles matches on minimum World Class difficulty (or Rivals) using LaLiga players with minimum 80 physicality. – Defensive Detail: Assist in 3 separate Squad Battles matches on minimum World Class difficulty (or Rivals) using Defenders. – Providing in Portugal: Assist with a Through Ball in 3 separate Rivals matches using Liga NOS players. – Formed in France: Score a Finesse goal in 4 separate Rivals wins using French players. – Both of these untradeable Liga NOS TOTSSF cards have nice ratings and stats, but you won’t have all the time in the world to unlock them. Diaz’s SBC is only available for a couple of days and is set to expire on Thursday, May 21. Mathieu’s Objectives will be in the game for a little longer – until Monday, May 25. As always, make sure to follow us on Twitter @UltimateTeamUK for all the latest FIFA 20 news, updates, SBC/Objective guides, and more.

FIFA 21 Ligue 1 Team of the Season predictions revealed EA SPORTSTeam of the Season (TOTS) is well underway in FIFA 21 Ultimate Team, with EA SPORTS shipping a load of super-boosted FUT cards over the next month. The Ligue 1 squad is now just around the corner; here are our lineup predictions. Like many leagues around Europe, the top-flight French competition — “Ligue 1 Uber Eats” — is coming down to the wire in its title race. Paris Saint-Germain may have shone in the Champions League these past two years, but the French titans have finally cracked domestically; with just three games to go, four teams could still lift the L’Hexagoal. That includes Lille, who lead on 76 points, as well as PSG (75 points), Monaco (71), and Lyon (70). Lille is certainly in the driver’s seat, but anything could happen across the last three matchdays, spoiling French fans with a nail-biting finish, and forcing the league’s stars to go to their absolute limits. As the battle rages on, many footballing heroes have emerged in 2020/21. Dexerto expects the Ligue 1 TOTS to be filled with top-four stars. There are world-class players in other teams too, however. Let’s get into our predictions. FIFA 21 TOTS predictions: Ligue 1 Goalkeepers Two Ligue 1 shot-stoppers stand tall above the rest this season. Clear first in the Team of the Season race is Lille’s Mike Maignan. The 25-year-old has kept 19 clean sheets in 35 games, and put Lille in pole-position to claim the French title. Behind him is PSG’s veteran keeper, Keylor Navas, who boasts 14 scoreless records of his own. Mike Maignan — Lille – Keylor Navas — Paris Saint-Germain – Defenders Expect the Ligue 1 Team of the Season’s defensive stock to be heavily Lillie slanted; the French frontrunners have kept 19 clean sheets this season, and conceded just 22 goals across their 35 competitive games. Jose Fonte and Zeki Celik should be easy tips from the possible 2020/21 champions. Paris and Monaco have similar enjoyed strong defensive records. Marquinhos and Kimpembe are both in with a shout for PSG, while Maripan represents Monaco in our predictions. Zeki Celik — Lille – Jose Fonte — Lille – Marquinhos — Paris Saint-Germain – Presnel Kimpembe — Paris Saint-Germain – Guillermo Maripán — Monaco – Jonathan Clauss — RC Lens – Midfielders The Ligue 1 engine room is always filled with a raft of standout performers, and the narrow 2020/21 title race has been no different. If the French TOTS is to have club variety, it’s likely to come here. Lille is well represented, and Andre and Bamba will both be included. Marseille (Thauvin and Kamara), Metz, Lyon, Montpellier, and RC Lens stars have also done enough to make the cut. Read More: How to vote for Bundesliga TOTS lineup – Expect Toko-Ekambi (Lyon), Boulaya (Metz), and Thauvin (Marseille) to be instant ‘ins’ for the squad alongside the above powerhouse Lille duo. Here’s our full Ligue 1 midfield predictions: Gael Kakuta — RC Lens – Teji Savanier — Montpellier – Benjamin André — Lille – Jonathan Bamba — Lille – Florian Thauvin — Marseille – Boubacar Kamara — Marseille – Farid Boulaya — Metz – Aleksandr Golovin — Monaco – Karl Toko-Ekambi — Lyon – Lucas Paqueta — Lyon – Forwards And here’s the cream of the Ligue 1 crop — the forwards. While the French league has often had a wide dearth of talent between the top and the bottom, one thing has stayed the same; the competition’s attacking stars have sizzled every season, and 2020/21 has been no different. Expect to see iconic names like Mbappe, Neymar Jr, Ben Yedder, and Memphis Depay included in the upgraded French squad. Neymar Jr — Paris Saint-Germain – Kylian Mbappe — Paris Saint-Germain – Kevin Volland — Monaco – Wissam Ben Yedder — Monaco – Andy Delort — Montpellier – Memphis Depay — Lyon – Ligue 1 TOTS Honorable Mentions Unfortunately, plenty of world-class superstars have to be left out. The biggest snubs we’ve been forced into are in the Ligue 1 defensive ranks. Reinildo (Lille) and Fabien Centonze (Metz) could both get into the Team of the Season lineup after stellar years, but they shine just a little less bright than their club teammates in our rankings. Amine Gouiri may also be included for his Nice efforts. In another season, they’d all be in our predictions, but there’s just so many top-class performers! Keep your eyes peeled for more in objectives or SBCs. Read More: FIFA 21 Premier League TOTS revealed – If you think we’ve left out any Ligue 1 players that deserve to be included, tweet us @UltimateTeamUK and @FutWatch to let us know!

Leeds United’s Gjanni Alioski’s insane FIFA 21 Ultimate Team is a FUT Champs player’s dream EA SportsLeeds United and Macedonia wing back Gjanni Alioski has had his FIFA 21 Ultimate Team revealed, and it’s a seriously impressive XI, led by 7 ICONs and his own 99-OVR pro player card. Marcelo Bielsa’s Leeds United have been touted by many as a breath of fresh air in the Premier League, with their ultra-aggressive, high-energy football leading to a number of memorable matches. One of the players who has helped the Whites find their way to a position of relative mid-table comfort is Gjanni Alioski, the Macedonia winger who has found himself increasingly used as a left-back in the Premier League. That’s at least where he’s positioned himself in his Ultimate Team, which was shared by Twitch streamer and Leeds fan Nick28T on Twitter. The Canadian content creator shared Alioski’s team, saying: “My man knows what he is doing… What a team man!” Attached was Alioski’s FIFA 21 Ultimate Team, with his own 99-rated pro player card at LB. That’s just the tip of the iceberg though, with Alioski’s team featuring a whopping 7 ICONs. Read More: FIFA 21 Guendouzi What If Objectives – In goal is in-form Ederson, with TOTY Virgil Van Dijk ahead of him at RCB. ICONs Carlos Alberto and Paolo Maldini round off the back five, which is about as good as any we’ve seen. Ahead of them is a midfield that includes Zidane, Maradona, and Gullit, with R9 and Pele up top. It is a scary team, with very few areas in which it can really be improved. His full team is listed below. Ezgjan Alioski FIFA 21 Ultimate Team GK: Ederson – 89 – RB: Carlos Alberto – 90 – CB: Virgil Van Dijk – 96 – CB: Paolo Maldini – 92 – LB: Ezgjan Alioski – 99 – CDM: Zinedine Zidane – 94 – CDM: Ruud Gullit – 90 – CAM: Diego Maradona – 95 – CAM: Cristiano Ronaldo – 92 – ST: Ronaldo – 97 – ST: Pele – 98 – My man @ezgjanalioski knows what he is doin on #FUT21. What a team man! 👊🏻❤️ pic.twitter.com/uRKTZ1tfTJ — Nick 🇨🇦 (@Nick28T) March 6, 2021 As far as recommending improvements, there are very few legitimate areas Alioski can bring his team on. GK is probably the only one, with options like Yashin and Schmeichel seemingly not beyond his price range. Other than that, it’s about as strong as an Ultimate Team can get. Leeds fans might be left disappointed at the lack of representation for Raphinha’s incredible What If card, though.

Leeds United sign NiP’s Ollelito for FIFA 21 ePremier League NiP/Leeds UnitedPremier League side Leeds United have officially confirmed the signing of Ninjas in Pyjamas’ FIFA 21 star Olle ‘Ollelito’ Arbin to represent them in the upcoming ePremier League tournament. The 19-year-old Swede was had a very successful couple of seasons, including lifting the FUT Champions Cup in Atlanta in 2020, and is currently Europe’s 5th-ranked Xbox player. This will be Leeds’ first appearance in the annual ePremier League tournament, having been promoted last season to join England’s most elite group of clubs. Ollelito will also play alongside Leeds United’s star striker Patrick Bamford and wing-back Gjanni Alioski in the ePL Club Playoffs, broadcast live to Leeds United’s Twitch and YouTube channels on March 2. “We are delighted to have Ollelito represent Leeds in the ePL,” said Paul Bell, Executive Director at Leeds United. “It’s the first time the club has been able to participate and to have someone of his pedigree play for the club, puts us in a very competitive position.” Read More: FIFA 21 Premier League POTM predictions – NiP’s Chief Operating Officer, Jonas Gundersen, was similarly optimistic. He said: “I can’t wait to see Olle represent Leeds. It’s a perfect match having him march on in the ePL under their banner while having our support behind him. Now, let’s get it!” For more information on the ePremier League, including playoff dates and club representatives, make sure to head over to the official ePL website.

Leeds United stream FIFA 20 to decide match delayed by Coronavirus EA SportsEnglish football club Leeds United have let EA Sports’ FIFA 20 decide the fate of their suspended match versus Cardiff City, as European sport remains in chaos because of Coronavirus. While the gaming community has seen a number of events and tournaments postponed as a result of Coronavirus, some real life sporting sides are turning to FIFA to decide their fate. Late on March 12 – despite a UK Government announcement that sport could continue as normal for the time being – all levels of professional football in the UK were immediately suspended following the news that Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta had tested positive for Coronavirus. At the time of writing, it is unclear how and when the season will finish. Leeds United, however, have taken to live streaming FIFA 20 in order to play out their fixture. The English side, who sit top of the second-tier of English football with nine matches to play, were scheduled to travel to Cardiff City on March 15. While no re-arranged date has been decided, the club joked that they would let FIFA 20 decide its outcome – streaming the match via Twitter. “Anyone else bored?” the club’s official account tweeted. “How about we let FIFA 20 decide today’s result?” Attached was a livestream of the game taking place on FIFA, with the AI simulation deciding who would emerge victorious. ? Anyone else bored? How about we let #FIFA20 decide today’s result? https://t.co/7NVEGNH5tV — Leeds United (@LUFC) March 15, 2020 Leeds even live-tweeted the game as they do an actual match, posting highlights to Twitter for their 475,000 followers to enjoy. Among other highlights, a Jack Harrison free-kick stood out, curling into the top corner from the edge of the box. That made the score 1-3, which is how FIFA ultimately decided the game would finish. The Yorkshire side even proceeded to tweet out an official graphic of the game, as well as asking fans for their opinions on who was man of the match. ? Get in! What a performance! 3 goals! 3 points? Who was your #LUFC man of the match? pic.twitter.com/kehTgmXtu2 — Leeds United (@LUFC) March 15, 2020 The simulation appeared to go down well with Leeds fans, many of whom are eagerly awaiting news on how the season will conclude amid the ongoing uncertainty. While we won’t see the victory added to this season’s tally, it provided a lot of light relief for football enthusiasts who are waiting for their beautiful game to return.

Leaked FIFA 20 file hints at new Gabriel Batistuta FUT icon card EA Sports/Facebook: FUTBibleFIFA 20 Ultimate Team players might soon have the chance to grab legendary Argentine strike Gabriel Batistuta – better known as Batigol – as an icon card after he appeared in a leaked tifo. The Icon cards in FIFA Ultimate Team pay homage to some of the greatest players to ever lace up a pair of boots. FIFA 20 already has Pele, Maradona, Ronaldo, and Roberto Carlos, but since the game launched back in September, others have been added. Legendary Argentine midfielder Juan Roman Riquelme was introduced alongside the all-new CONMEBOL content on March 3, with a leaked file for the in-game tifos revealing that he could be joined by a former teammate of his in the form of Batigol. The striker’s apparent celebration tifo was uncovered by FIFA AllStars on Twitter, claiming that the stadium cosmetic was in the game’s files. Like a few other player tifos, it shows Batistuta pulling off one of his celebration for Fiorentina – though there aren’t any sponsors or logos on the kit, just that it is a similar purple color to the iconic Italian club. Me encontré con éste TIFO en los datos del juego…será?? #FIFA20 🇦🇷 Gabriel BATISTUTA (?) pic.twitter.com/8kJUlVSGV7— NonoLoko🔟🇦🇷⭐⭐⭐ (@NonoLoko10) March 9, 2020 With the uncovering of this file, FIFA fans have quickly speculated about the possibility of the legendary striker being added as an Icon card in FUT – though there is no way to tell either way just yet. Player-specific tifos can usually be found in Career Mode matches, with Crystal Palace having a similar one for Ian Wright during a select number of their home matches. It is pretty plausible to suggest that Batigol would be added as an icon seeing as EA has already added Riqulemen as a part of their CONMEBOL content. The Argentine forward would present another option for players looking to build some pretty high-powered teams. It would also give fans the chance to pair him with compatriot Lionel Messi, which would be a pretty deadly partnership.

Leaked FIFA 20 Ratings Reveal ft. Messi, Ronaldo & Neymar Ouest franceEA SPORTS have confirmed that the official FIFA 20 ratings reveal is scheduled to begin today. However, as many of you will have seen, a number of leaked images and videos showing various player stats have been circulating throughout the FUT community. Check out these leaked FIFA 20 ratings below. Initially there was speculation that the root cause of these leaks were Spanish retailers breeching ‘street dates’. These rumours were quickly played down by senior staff members at EA, confirming that the actual cause of the leaked content was likely down to internal staff, accidentally uploading FIFA 20 Ultimate Team content to their Xbox Live accounts. Although the ratings of a number of high-profile players appear to have been revealed early, there are still some big names that currently remain under wraps; Paris Saint-Germain’s Kylian Mbappé is one of them. The format of this year’s FIFA 20 ratings reveal is yet to be determined, but we wouldn’t at all be surprised if it was a countdown of the top 100.

Lazio’s Luis Alberto has his FIFA 20 Ultimate Team starting XI revealed EA SPORTSLuis Alberto’s star studded Ultimate Team has been revealed by one of his FIFA 20 opponents, but there’s no place in his lineup for any of his Lazio teammates. Many pro footballers plying their trade in Italy, and more broadly across the world, will have a lot more time on their hands due to the current global situation – and one past time the former Liverpool man appears to enjoy is FIFA. Alberto not only boasts his own 99 rated card, which is a telltale sign you’re playing against a pro as EA SPORTS only distribute these to accounts associated with the players, but a number of other major stars of the game made the cut as well. The Spaniard had made room for Sergio Ramos at right back, but that card doesn’t play on the same side of the field to Alberto, who is on the left with Alex Sandro’s Player Moments special card (91) sitting behind him in defensive support. This card can be obtained by completing a promo Squad Building Challenge. For those who would like to complete it, here’s a useful guide on how to do so. Without further ado, let’s take a look at the team in-full. Luis Alberto’s FIFA 20 Ultimate Team GK: Thibaut Courtois (90) – CB: Paolo Maldini (95) – CB: Rafael Varane (89) – RB: Sergio Ramos (93) – LB: Alex Sandro (91) – CDM: Luis Alberto (99) – CDM: Lionel Messi (96) – CAM: Ronaldo (94) – CAM: Ronaldinho (95) – CAM: Patrick Vieira (92) – ST: Kylian Mbappe (98) – As the snap above shows, courtesy of Reddit user longusdongus-1102, while Alberto might not have picked any of Lazio’s players, he did opt for one of Serie A’s greatest ever defenders in Paolo Maldini. Not to mention the eye watering forwards in Mbappe, Ronaldinho and Ronaldo (R9). One thing that’s quite interesting is his position for Messi, who looks to be operating in a defensive midfield position based on the loading screen graphic. However, we suspect him and Vieira will swap with in-game tactics – a decision that might have been made for chemistry. Either that, or Luis wants to see how the Barcelona legend would operate in a different role altogether. So, there you have it! That’s what the latest version of Luis Alberto’s team looks like in FIFA and we imagine in the coming weeks, he’ll be spending even more time on the game mode. You never know, you might be the one to face him next.

Layvin Kurzawa’s FIFA 21 Ultimate Team revealed and it’s absolutely insane EA SPORTS/PSGPSG left-back Layvin Kurzawa is a defensive dynamo on the pitch, and that idea is very much present in his five-at-the-back Ultimate Team XI, which is stacked with legends. Footballers don’t get a lot of downtime at the moment, with the football calendar as stacked as it currently is. But when players get a rare chance at some downtime, it’s no surprise to see them loading up Ultimate Team. We’ve seen a number of top players show off their sides throughout the FIFA 21 season. Real Madrid’s Vinicius Jr has a team stacked with Madrid legends, while Lyon’s Memphis Depay has a truly stacked team. Featuring a five-at-the-back formation, 10 ICONs, and his own 99-rated player card, opponents will have a tough time trying to best Kurzawa in a FIFA match. https://twitter.com/layvinkurzawa/status/1329168165826342913?s=20 Layvin Kurzawa’s FIFA 21 Ultimate Team Posting on the FIFA subreddit, LJD98 revealed Kurzawa’s full team having played him online. It’s clear Kurzawa goes for the tactic of putting defense first, with a 5-2-1-2 formation and a backline stacked with ICONs including Paolo Maldini and Roberto Carlos. That leaves an attacking trident featuring Brazil legends Pele and Ronaldo Nazario, plus Cameroonian Samuel Eto’o, to put opponents to the sword. Here’s Layvin Kurzawa’s full Ultimate Team lineup: GK: Lev Yashin (95) – RWB: Carlos Alberto (94) – CB: Marcel Desailly (92) – CB: Rio Ferdinand (91) – CB: Layvin Kurzawa (99) – LWB: Roberto Carlos (92) – CM: Claude Makelele (91) – CM: Lothar Matthaus (94) – CAM: Samuel Eto’o (93) – ST: Ronaldo (97) – ST: Pele (95) – It must be pretty nice for Kurzawa to be able to put so many ICONs into his team. With such a strong defense, coupled with top-tier CDM’s Makelele and Matthaus patrolling in front, it looks pretty much impenetrable. With a team like that, opponents will find it almost impossible both to score against and to stop the potentially lethal counterattacks.

FIFA 21 La Liga TOTS cards revealed: Messi, Benzema, Varane, more EA SPORTSTeam of the Season is well underway in FIFA 21 Ultimate Team, and next up is “La Liga Santander” — full of incredibly high-rated players, including the likes of Messi, Benzema, De Jong, Varane, Suarez, and many more. It’s everyone’s favorite time of the year: Team of the Season. We’ve already seen mouthwatering upgrades from the “Premier League” and fan-voted “Community” lineups, and now it’s Spain’s turn to turn blue. The English competition may be football’s most popular league, but La Liga has long been home to the biggest superstars in the game — Lionel Messi, Luis Suarez, Karim Benzema, and plenty more all got bumper boosts in the next Team of the Season squad, the “La Liga Santander” lineup. FIFA 21 La Liga Team of the Season Lionel Messi (98) – Karim Benzema (97) – Jan Oblak (96) – Raphael Varane (95) – Luis Suarez (95) – Frenkie De Jong (94) – Casemiro (94) – Jordi Alba (93) – Nabil Fekir (92) – Yannick Carrasco (92) – Lucas Vasquez (92) – Jesus Navas (91) – Gerard Moreno (90) – Marcos Llorente (89) – Jules Kounde (88) – La Liga TOTS SBCs & Objectives No SBCs or Objective cards have been announced for the La Liga TOTS yet, but with that being a big part of the Team of the Season promo, you should expect there to be a few untradeable cards released for the Spanish first division. How long will La Liga TOTS be in packs? EA SPORTS released the third major TOTS squad on Friday, May 7 at 10AM PT / 1PM ET / 6PM BST. As usual, they will be in packs for a week before the next TOTS comes in, meaning that you can grab them from packs until Friday, May 14 at 10AM PT / 1PM ET / 6PM BST. Our La Liga TOTS predictions Prior to the La Liga TOTS being revealed, we did our own set of predictions to try and guess which players from the Spanish first division would be highlighted. Spain has enjoyed a nail-biting title race in 2020/21, thanks in part to a late surge from Barcelona and Real Madrid, and a major slip from leaders Atletico, so we expected those three teams to be thoroughly represented in the TOTS. Goalkeepers (GK) Bono: Sevilla FC – (GK) Jan Oblak: Atletico Madrid – Defenders (CB) Pau Torres: Villareal – (CB) Jules Kounde: Sevilla – (RB) Jesus Navas: Sevilla – (LB) Ferland Mendy: Real Madrid – (CB) Sergio Ramos: Real Madrid – (LB) Jordi Alba: Barcelona – Midfielders (CM) Marcos Llorente: Sevilla – (CM) Luka Modric: Real Madrid – (CDM) Casemiro: Real Madrid – (CDM) Toni Kroos: Real Madrid – (CM) Frenkie de Jong: Barcelona – (CM) Sergio Canales: Real Betis – Forwards (ST) Gerard Moreno: Villareal – (ST) Karim Benzema: Real Madrid – (RW) Lionel Messi: Barcelona – (ST) Iago Aspas: Celta Vigo – (ST) Luis Suarez: Atletico Madrid – (LW) Mikel Oyarzabal: Real Sociedad – As always, stick with us on Twitter @UltimateTeamUK for all the latest FIFA news, updates, and content!

Kylian Mbappe explains why he stopped playing FUT Champs in FIFA 22 EA SPORTSFootballing superstar Kylian Mbappe is a pretty noted fan of FIFA, however, he’s given up on FIFA 22 FUT Champs for one pretty big reason. With footballers having plenty of free time between training and playing actual games, many of them turn to FIFA to both pass the time and add new layers to their game. As we’ve seen over the years, many players dive right into FIFA Ultimate Team, assembling some of the best squads you’ll ever see – thanks in part to getting their own unique cards from EA SPORTS. Plus, some of them aren’t half bad at the game either, just look at Liverpool’s Diogo Jota having multiple perfect weekends in FUT Champs. The game’s cover star, Kylian Mbappe, has also been a fan of FUT for quite some time and has been spotted in FUT Champs countless times. However, he’s not playing anymore. Mbappe quits FIFA 22 FUT Champs The PSG forward, who is still yet to sign a new contract with the French giants, has graced the game’s cover for the past few years and regularly spoken about his love of the game. However, after he appeared on a stream with French content creator Gotaga, he revealed that FIFA 22 has impacted his real-world skills, and he’s had to quit FUT Champs as a result. “I stopped playing FUT Champions because it started affecting my mind,” the 23-year-old said after being asked about how he’d been doing on FIFA recently. Mbappé avec la phrase de l’ancien 😂 C’est très cool de voir des événements FIFA avec des joueurs! Hate de voir la suite 👀 pic.twitter.com/R96Wt7Sd0O — Twins Fifa (@TwinsFifaHD) February 23, 2022 While FUT Champs can be a great way to test your skills, and get some decent rewards for doing so, it is a bit of a grind, so it makes sense that Mbappe has ditched it. The World Cup winner could very well get back amongst things when he has free time during the summer, but if he’s going to become a free agent and command offers from every club in the world, he might have to wait until FIFA 23 drops before jumping back in.

Kylian Mbappe FIFA 21 SBC released after Ligue 1 POTM win Graphics: EA SPORTSPSG star Kylian Mbappe has won the Ligue 1 Player of the Month (POTM) award for February and that means he’s got a new SBC in FIFA 21. So, we’ve got the cheapest solutions around. Over the last few years, Kylian Mbappe has been on a steady rise to the very top of the footballing world. He’s reached the point where some even think he’s displaced Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo as the best around. When it comes to FIFA, he’s always got some deadly special cards, and is a shoo-in to be included in some of the game’s best teams. This time, though, he’s not got a new Team of the Week or Headliners cards, but instead, he’s been named Ligue 1’s Player of the Month for February. With 𝗙𝗢𝗨𝗥 @Ligue1UberEats goals in February, your @UNFP Player of the Month is… ✨ @KMbappe ✨#TropheesUNFP #FUT pic.twitter.com/XgE2COHD0B — EA SPORTS FC (@EASPORTSFC) March 18, 2021 FIFA 21 Kylian Mbappe POTM SBC Now, it’s not the easiest SBC in the world this one. Just like some of the other big-name POTM Squad Building Challenges, you’ll need to build six squads. That’s right, six squads. Read More: FIFA 21 FUT Birthday countdown – For Mbappe, one squad is based on PSG, another Ligue 1, another is all about French players, while the other three include an 87-rated squad, an 88-rated squad, and an 89-rated squad.

If you need to build the six squads from scratch, FUTBin estimates that it’ll cost between 1.9 million and 2.38 million coins. You can obviously offset this if you’ve got some fodder cards but it will still cost a fair bit. However, we’ve got the cheapest solution for each part of the SBC. Mbappe POTM in-game stats & review Now, this might not be Mbappe’s highest-rated card in FIFA 21, however, it’s nothing to turn your nose up at. As a 92-rated left-winger, he’s one of the best left-sided players in the game. Plus, he’s stupidly quick with 98 acceleration and 98 sprint speed. Read More: FIFA 21 What If Upgrade Tracker – He’s deadly in front of goal too, as you’d expect. 94 finishing and 94 positioning mean he’ll be in the right place at the right time to send you flying up the FUT Champs ranks. In terms of getting your hands on him, he’s a player of the month so he’s going to be around until the new POTM card is announced. So, you can save up for Mbappe. If you decide to spring for him, make sure you let us know just how well the French forward goes for you by tweeting us – @UltimateTeamUK and @FUTWatch.

Kurt roasts Ninja & EA after streamer says he’d master FIFA in a week L: Ninja – Mixer R: Kurt0411 – YouTubeKurt0411 managed to roast Ninja and EA at the same time after the Fortnite streamer said he’d be able to learn FIFA in a week. The outspoken FIFA pro often lets his viewers know about his disdain for EA during his streams. After seeing a tweet from Major League Soccer that asked if Ninja had what it takes to compete against FIFA pros, Kurt couldn’t resist. Ninja said all he’d need was a week before he’d be able to compete with the best of the best. He even revealed retired NFL pro Chad Johnson challenged him once. Johnson, who at one point legally changed his last name to Ochocinco, frequently challenges fans to FIFA matches on Twitter. Read More: FIFA pro Kurt0411 calls out Scump and FormaL for ignoring Twitch host “I mean, (Chad) Ochocinco challenged me like a year ago and I never took him up on that,” Ninja said. “Who knows, actually, give me like a week in that game bro and I’d be good.” Once Kurt saw this, he did his best to keep the Fortnite streamer from ever trying the game by subtly roasting both him and EA. “Ninja after he clicks a button and nothing happens,” he tweeted with a GIF of one of Ninja’s iconic rages. “Stick to playing games which have no delay, no dynamic difficulty adjustment and no broken mechanics you lucky [son of a b**ch].” Ninja after he clicks a button and nothing happens. Stick to playing games which have no delay, no dynamic difficulty adjustment and no broken mechanics you lucky sob pic.twitter.com/lfVKTyACfF — Kurt (@Kurt0411Fifa) February 7, 2020 It’s definitely more of an indictment on the state of FIFA than it is Ninja. Kurt is essentially saying the Mixer streamer has it better on Fortnite, or any other game for that matter, than he would have it on the EA title. Of course, Fortnite players would argue their game isn’t necessarily in a good spot either. With the onset of Chapter 2, Epic Games stopped consistently releasing patch notes for each update, and it forced players to figure out what changed on their own. Kurt’s issues with EA run deep, evidenced by his multiple bans from the publisher. Back in November, the pro was banned from all FIFA 20 tournaments for spitting on the logo during a stream. That hasn’t stopped him from playing the game still, but he just can’t compete in a professional setting anymore.

Kurt0411 unbanned on Twitch after “pathetic” FIFA copyright strike by EA EA Sports / TwitchFormer FIFA pro Kurt ‘Kurt0411’ Fenech has been unbanned on Twitch after being suspended on the platform for infringing EA SPORTS copyright. As is standard procedure, Twitch partners are contacted with a private statement on why the ban was sanctioned, but the streamer decided to make his public on March 3, accusing an EA employee of once again filing complaints against his content. He had previously revealed copy-strike attempts had been made against his YouTube channel, too, after EA banned his original account from playing FIFA 20 and any of their other games. The publisher took action after claiming he had broken their Code of Conduct, crossing the line with “personal attacks” and “threatening behavior” – a previous statement noted. A week later, Kurt returned to FIFA. He loaded up a new account, telling his fans EA had only banned his one profile and started streaming the game again – attracting over 15,000 viewers. Soon after, his new account was suspended as well and then he was banned on Twitch following the streaming session. That ban has since been lifted, however, confirmed by StreamerBans on March 5, a Twitter account that monitors the status of Twitch partners. ✅ Twitch Partner “”kurt0411″” has been unbanned after 1 day, 5 minutes, 49 seconds! ✅https://t.co/MlTM90gKFN#twitch #unban #partner #twitchpartner 🏄🏻♀️ — StreamerBans (@StreamerBans) March 4, 2020 The last stream before he was banned, titled “BAN TO GLORY,” seemed to be going fine for Kurt, especially considering his choice to actually cover up his profile’s name. That was until fans received one final message in chat: “This channel has been suspended.” The fallen FIFA star shared an image on Twitter of his official alleged copyright infringement warning, which had been filed by Electronic Arts Inc, and an account titled ‘jpenforcement,’ both of which suggest the publisher asked Twitch to hook his stream, and account. Nothing to do with Twitch, the same EA employee filed a complaint using EA’s name to once again copyright-strike my channel. The part that I find the most pathetic in all of this is once again no communication from the cowards. Oh and finished my last game on FIFA the right way😂 pic.twitter.com/LI9p7SHqgM — Kurt (@Kurt0411Fifa) March 3, 2020 It was a specific email and name Kurt had seen before, the Maltese streamer added, which he said confirmed his suspicions EA had been trying to take his streaming channel down for some time now. “[The ban had] nothing to do with Twitch, the same EA employee filed a complaint using EA’s name to once again copyright-strike my channel. The part I find most pathetic in all of this is once again no communication from the cowards,” he said. That wasn’t the only image he had to share with his fans, though. Despite being knocked off Twitch’s broadcasting service, Kurt finished his “last game on FIFA” with a lopsided 5–2 victory. The former FIFA pro has received the backing of some high profile members of the community in recent times, with RunTheFUTMarket and Harry ‘HashtagHarry’ Hesketh defending him publicly. The question now for Kurt is where he goes from here. His 97,600-subscriber YouTube channel is still active and now his Twitch channel is ready to go live once again, following the short-lived ban. The 25-year-old could move to Pro Evolution Soccer 2020, considering he has played a bit of the Konami title in recent times, but the Maltese star has admitted previously that he “has no love” for the “mess of a game” PES has become. Kurt could move away from FIFA 20 and EA once and for all now that his Twitch account has been unbanned, but will we see him switch to other popular titles like Fortnite or Call of Duty? We’ll have to wait and see.

Kurt lashes out at “incompetent” EA Sports after permanent FIFA ban EA SportsKurt ‘Kurt0411’ Fenech didn’t hold back in his latest assault against EA Sports, suggesting the FIFA franchise publishers were “incompetent” after the new revelation he had been slapped with a permanent ban from all EA titles. After a series of battles between the fallen FIFA star, and franchise publishers EA Sports, the gaming giant has made a final decision to ban Kurt from accessing his EA account, as well as any titles associated with the company. EA stated in a statement released on Twitter on February 24 that the company would “not tolerate threatening behavior” from Kurt, and suggested the 25-year-old pro had “crossed a line of decency into very personal attacks.” “Today Kurt0411’s EA account will be banned from playing our games, and accessing our services, due to these serious and repeated violations,” the company’s official statement read. “We build games and communities for players to have fun [and] creating a safe experience for everyone without fear of harassment or abuse is a vital part of that…when feedback crosses the line to threatening, personal attacks, we will take action to move it out of our communities.” An Important message regarding FIFA player Kurt0411. pic.twitter.com/RcHu1hMCup — Electronic Arts (@EA) February 24, 2020 Soon after the release was posted on EA’s Twitter account, Kurt replied asking the company to “give [him] examples” of when the alleged violations had occurred, and what evidence they had of him “threatening [EA’s] incompetent employees.” The FIFA personality then took to his own account, sharing images of his disabled account, and the email from EA’s customer support alerting him of the permanent ban. Needless to say, he wasn’t too kind to the gaming giant either. “Incredible stuff honestly… banning me from their esports events wasn’t enough, trying to get my Twitch and YouTube channels banned wasn’t enough. Now they shut down my 10-year plus FUT Founder account. No words,” he said. Incredibly stuff honestly…banning me from their esports events wasn’t enough, trying to get my Twitch and YouTube channels banned wasn’t enough, they now shut down my 10 year plus Fut Founder account. No words pic.twitter.com/EqAVWprTI5 — Kurt (@Kurt0411Fifa) February 24, 2020 The 25-year-old suggested EA was making a mistake with their decision to ban him. He also added he believed he had “never said anything [he] shouldn’t have,” despite the FIFA publishers making claims to the contrary. “This is just deeper than anyone thinks. They didn’t want me competing at events ‘cause they were scared I’d win them, now I’m the second-biggest streamer of their game and they’re scared I’ll overtake their golden boy,” he said, likely referring to fellow FIFA star Edwin ‘Castro1021’ Castro. https://twitter.com/Kurt0411Fifa/status/1232055380064243712?s=20 It looks like Kurt’s high-profile story, and his war against EA, is far from over too. Hours after EA’s official statement, Daniel ‘KEEMSTAR‘ Keem teased an upcoming documentary series telling the story of the fallen FIFA star. “Just got off the phone with Kurt, ‘the man EA Sports wants to disappear’,” the Drama Alert host revealed on Twitter. “Documentary deal done,” he added, confirming some kind of video story will soon be on the way. While Kurt may be waging the most high-profile personal battle with EA, he’s not the only star to have put the publishers in his sights this week either—after reaching the Champions Cup finals in Paris, Fnatic’s Tekkz slammed this year’s FIFA release. The top-level pro, who eventually finished runner-up in the Xbox bracket to Msdossary after a 5–4 epic, suggested “no one likes playing” the series this year, and dubbed the 2020 release the “most unrewarding” FIFA title yet. While EA brought the full force of the ban hammer down on Kurt, it looks like Tekkz got away scot-free. Considering the publisher’s permanent actions against Kurt and his views, however, who knows when the next pro may speak up again.

Kevin Hart teases brilliant USMNT tattoo after World Cup venue reveal Left Image — YouTube: Official US Soccer; Right Image — YouTube: Official Man CityOn Sunday, FIFA revealed where the United States Men’s National Team will open the 2026 World Cup. And comedian Kevin Hart couldn’t be happier. The USMNT will play all three of its group-stage matchups on the West Coast of the United States. The opening match takes place on June 12, 2026, at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles, California. Seattle, Washington, will host the second game before the team returns to California for the third and final battle in the World Cup group stage. On FOX, famous comedian and avid USMNT fan Kevin Hart spoke about his long history with soccer, dating back to his childhood. He also explained how his own kids have gotten him back into the sport. So into it that he’s teased the idea of getting a full back piece tattoo in honor of it. Kevin Hart explains his fandom, teases a USMNT tattoo “My love for the game started when I was younger. I think, now, being a soccer dad, you know, having kids that love the sport and have followed the sport — that’s given me a different [level of] passion,” Hart said on the broadcast. When speaking about his rooting interests at the 2026 FIFA World Cup, Hart yelled out “USA all day” numerous times. He went as far as saying that he’d get that exact saying tattooed on his upper back — that way, Hart wouldn’t have to answer questions about his loyalty to USA soccer. Said somewhat in jest, it’s hard to know how serious the long-time actor is about getting his body permanently inked. But the official USMNT X account took notice and put Hart’s feet to the flames. Either way, the USMNT will have vocal fans in attendance when the team opens the World Cup on home turf. And Kevin Hart won’t be the only one.

Juventus confirmed to return in FIFA 23 after four-year hiatus EA SportsFIFA 23 sees the return of Serie A giants Juventus with full licensing for the first time since 2019, now that Konami’s exclusive partnership with the Italian club has come to an end. One of the biggest factors that keeps EA Sports and its FIFA series ahead of the competition is the wide array of licenses they hold for various football leagues and clubs. This enables the developers to deliver a more authentic experience, complete with real kits and stadia to help the fans feel truly immersed. FIFA 22 featured over 700 licensed teams from around the world, but a few big names were noticeably missing. However, following the news that the J-League is to be removed, FIFA 23 will see the return of one of the biggest clubs missing from the roster – Juventus. FIFA 23 welcomes Juventus back to the game An official press release had this to say regarding Juventus’ return to the game: “Today, EA SPORTS and Juventus Football Club announced a new, multi-year partnership, which will see Juventus return to EA SPORTS’ renowned football video game series beginning in EA SPORTS™ FIFA 23, launching September 30.” Additionally: “This partnership will see EA SPORTS become Juventus’ exclusive Sport Video Gaming Partner, with a fully authentic in-game integration that will feature Juventus’ stadium, Allianz Stadium, along with the club’s logo and kits. Both partners are also excited to work across a number of lifestyle and cultural initiatives bringing new opportunities outside of football.” This means that in FIFA 23 fans can play as Juventus in their official black and white strip and the Juventus Stadium will be fully recreated. The club’s players will also have the real-life badge on their Ultimate Team cards. Not only that, but club legend Claudio Marchisio will also be joining the game as a FUT Hero. Juve is back in #FIFA23 🖤🤍 The Bianconeri are officially back in the game as a part of a new partnership between @juventusfc and @easportsfifa. Narrated by Juve legend @ClaMarchisio8, this film celebrates a new chapter in the club’s story of a great love. Juve per sempre sarà. pic.twitter.com/LExyXe0fML — EA SPORTS FC (@EASPORTSFC) July 25, 2022 Since FIFA 20, due to the Konami partnership, Juve had been known as Piemonte Calcio and had a custom-made crest and kits, despite all players retaining their likeness. Juventus are one of four Serie A teams that have been missing from recent FIFA entires, along with Roma, Lazio, and Atalanta, all of which have been given new kits and badges designed by EA Sports. Unfortunately, the three remaining clubs will still be unlicensed in FIFA 23 as their deals with Konami began later. Roma left in FIFA 21, while FIFA 22 was the first title without Atalanta and Lazio. Although the Serie A still isn’t complete, players will be over the moon to see one of the biggest clubs in European football returning in FIFA 23. For more on this year’s entry in the series, check out everything we know about FIFA 23.

Juventus’ Federico Chiesa’s stacked FIFA 21 Ultimate Team revealed EA SPORTSFederico Chiesa has been impressive on his loan spell at Juventus, but his talents aren’t limited to football. He knows FIFA 21 Ultimate Team like the back of his hand, and it shows in his squad. Serie A is packed to the rafters with talented young players, but none have impressed more than Federico Chiesa. The 23-year-old winger left Fiorentina after a long spell and joined Juventus on loan. He’s already netted eight goals in 28 appearances for them across all competitions, which is no surprise given his pace and skill. Still, he’s proven to be a welcome addition to the squad. Like many other footballers, Chiesa doesn’t mind a game of FIFA. A fan spotted him playing FIFA 21 Ultimate Team and was stunned by the quality of his squad. Federico Chiesa’s FIFA 21 Ultimate Team squad Chiesa’s FIFA 21 squad features an impressive line-up of icons and current players that synergize perfectly with his own FIFA 21 Pro Player Card. Featuring both R9 and CR7, as well as Gullit up front, Chiesa’s squad has plenty of attacking prowess. Ederson in between the sticks is one of the best keepers you could ask for too. LF: Robben (88) – ST: Ruud Gullit (90) – RF: Dominik Szoboszlai (88) – CDM: Ronaldo (97) – CM: Federico Chiesa (99) – CDM: Cristiano Ronaldo (95) – LB: Ferland Mendy (83) – CB: Raphael Varane (86) – CB: Paolo Maldini (92) – RB: Joao Cancelo (86) – GK: Ederson (89) – It’s an impressive squad that will undoubtedly cause problems for the opposition. But while there are some expensive cards in the mix, it includes some humble and affordable ones, such as Mendy and Varane. Federico Chiesa is also up to speed with the meta. He uses a balanced 4-3-3 formation with lots of firepower up-front and two CDM’s to support the backlines. Of course, Cristiano Ronaldo and Ronaldo Nazario aren’t exactly defensive midfielders. However, the formation itself is still quite balanced.

How to complete John Barnes Icon SBC in FIFA 21: cost, solutions EA SPORTSEA SPORTS has dropped a trio of new ICON SBCs, including retired Liverpool superstar John Barnes, and we have all the info you’ll need to unlock the English winger’s 89-rated card cheaply.

There he made 407 appearances for Liverpool, scoring 108 goals and lifting the English first division trophy twice. The star also won two FA Cups, and played nearly 100 games for England. His legacy has translated into a fantastic looking 89-rated left-wing card, which is now available as an Icon SBC in FIFA 21. Here’s all the details on how to unlock the pacey English superstar, and add him to the ranks of your Ultimate Team. Barnes Icon SBC in-game stats There’s only one way to describe Barnes’ 89-rated winger card: “Wow.” He’s an ICON, so of course, his stats are going to be pretty juicy, but the now 57-year-old’s historic player card is one of the best left-sided forwards available in FIFA 21 right now. In fact, he even holds a candle to FIFA’s meta star, Neymar Jr. The Brazilian beats Barnesy out on pace (by just one) and dribbling, but the Englishman has the PSG winger edged on shooting, defensive, and boasts 26 more physical to boot. Read More: How to complete Fernando Torres Icon SBC – Barnes also has one thing Neymar doesn’t: Finesse Shot.

Julian Brandt’s FIFA 20 Ultimate Team starting XI revealed Granada, Wikimedia Commons / EABorussia Dortmund’s flying winger Julian Brandt has assembled an extremely impressive FIFA 20 Ultimate Team and, even though he has some of the best players in history at his disposal, he still managed to squeeze his own card in. The Germany international has been spotted playing FUT Rivals, possibly in an attempt to qualify for the Weekend League, and his opponent decided to share the star-studded starting 11 with members of the game’s online community. Brandt’s base card is already good enough to make it into some fans’ squads, but just like many other professional footballers, he’s been handed a 99-rated card by EA SPORTS. To the surprise of absolutely nobody, it leads the line in his Ultimate Team. There seems to be a common theme emerging with pro players’ Ultimate Teams, too, as they’re always jam-packed with Brazilians. It’s not hard to see why, though, considering the qualities of the Ronaldinho and Pele Icon cards that he owns. Virgil van Dijk, Trent Alexander-Arnold and Quincy Promes have already had their FUT teams revealed by their opposite numbers in recent times, and there were also a lot of Brazil internationals in their sides as well. We’re not here to talk about them, though, so let’s take a look at Brandt’s. He’s gone for a 4-2-2-2 formation. Brandt’s FIFA 20 Ultimate Team starting XI GK: Ederson – RB: Kyle Walker – CB: Virgil van Dijk – CB: Diego Carlos – LB: Marcelo – CDM: Zidane – CDM: Fabinho – CAM: Ronaldinho – CAM: Axel Witsel – ST: Julian Brandt – ST: Pele – Some members of the game’s online community responded to the thread, including the uploader Kombic, who claimed the match with whoever was controlling ‘Brandy FC’ didn’t last long. “He rage quitted in the 43rd minute after I scored one of the most BS goals I have scored in FIFA 20,” they said. A handful of users pointed out that it might not have been Brandt playing the match, however, as his brother also plays his fair share of Ultimate Team. Whether or not that was the case here is actually unknown. Whoever plays with this team, though, has certainly got an unbelievable bunch of players on their hands.

Joe Rankin-Costello’s FIFA 21 Ultimate Team criticized by players EA SPORTSBlackburn Rovers midfielder Joe Rankin-Costello has been spotted playing FIFA 21’s Ultimate Team. It’s fair to say FIFA players weren’t particularly impressed with his squad and have questioned his selection of players. Over the past few weeks, numerous professional footballers have been seen on FIFA 21’s Ultimate Team. From Chelsea’s Mason Mount to Borussia Dortmund’s Erling Haaland, FUT is clearly a pastime a lot of footballers enjoy. Despite being in an incredibly demanding job, these players still find the time to make some insanely stacked FUT rosters. Haaland’s starting XI was completely made up of FIFA 21 ICON cards and would be a challenge for any FIFA fan to face. However, not every professional footballer has an impressive FUT squad as seen in the case of Blackburn’s Joe Rankin-Costello. Joe Rankin-Costello’s FIFA 21 Ultimate Team revealed Rankin-Costello’s FIFA 21 Ultimate Team was posted to Reddit by ya_nan_ after he went up against the Blackburn midfielder online. It’s fair to say his squad is less impressive than the other professional footballers we’ve covered, but it certainly holds its own. GK: Alisson – 90 – RB: Wan-Bissaka – 83 – LB: Sandro – 85 – CB: Gosens – 85 – CB: Gomez – 83 – CM: Chiellini – 89 – CM: Rankin-Costello – 99 – CM: Rivaldo – 87 – RF: Beckham – 86 – LF: Dembele – 83 – ST: Hernandez – 85 – With the likes of Beckham, Hernandez, and Rivaldo in his team, Rankin-Costello’s squad is nothing to be scoffed at. On top of this, he’s got a solid backline that any FIFA player would struggle to penetrate, especially with Liverpool’s Alisson in goal. However, there’s no denying his squad’s a little underwhelming, and a few FIFA players have voiced their opinion on his selection in the thread. One commented that “he can still get the 3 Icons from EA surely.” This is no doubt referencing the lack of ICONS in Rankin-Costello’s squad compared to most FIFA players. Another Reddit user even made a joke at Blackburn’s expense and the quality of Rankin-Costello’s squad: “You can tell he’s on championship wages”. All jokes aside, Rankin-Costello’s team is nothing special, but not every professional footballer has a stacked FUT squad. Who knows, in a few month’s time, he may have made some serious upgrades to his team. Then, we’ll have to compare him to the likes of Haaland and Mount to see how he shapes up.

Castro1021 reveals his ideal FIFA 23 starter team for Ultimate Team Twitch.tv/Castro_1021Popular FIFA streamer Castro 1021 shared his ideal starter team for FIFA 23, but it may be a tad expensive for average players. EA unveiled the top 1,000 FIFA 23 player ratings on September 18, opening the floodgates for content creators to share their starter teams. FIFA 23’s new chemistry system makes building hybrid squads featuring players from different leagues and countries more accessible than ever. Links are no more; players can link players from any league or nation and not be penalized. It is still more rewarding to build up chemistry with players from the same league, country, or club, but EA gives you more freedom to experiment. Players cant create concept squads on the FIFA 23 Web App just yet, but fortunately, database websites such as FUTBIN or FUTWIZ allow you to build your dream FUT team. The top 23 FIFA 23 player ratings were confirmed on September 12, but for starter teams, the best strategy is aiming for lower-rated, underrated players. Castro1021 reveals his FIFA 23 starter team Popular FIFA streamer Castro 1021 shared his potential starter team for FIFA 23. Castro 1021 admitted to spending around $500k on FIFA Ultimate Team packs since 2014, so this starter team may be easily attainable after opening packs. Still, the same doesn’t apply for other FIFA players. The steamer’s team contains some players that will break the bank, such as Vinicius JR., Raphael Varane, Frederico Valverde, and Eder Militao. As the meta forms, finding diamonds in the rough for your Ultimate Team squad will be much easier. FIFA 23 introducing a cross-platform FUT Transfer Market also affects how players build their starter teams. Prices could be lower than ever or higher, but we won’t know until the game officially releases on September 30.

Jarrod Bowen explains why he doesn’t use his pro card in FIFA 22 Ultimate Team EA SPORTS/YouTube: FozcastJarrod Bowen has become one of the most celebrated rising stars in English football, with a monumental season for West Ham in the Premier League that earned him his first England call-up. On FIFA 22, though, he prefers to keep a low profile, admitting that he won’t use his pro card in Ultimate Team. Bowen’s come-up in his career has been nothing short of extraordinary, and for most footballers around the world, getting into FIFA is a momentous occasion. That’s why you’ll often see most footballers using their pro card in Ultimate Team — a unique, 1 of 1 card of themselves, rated 99, that proves they’re the one playing and gives them a handy boost in-game. Jarrod Bowen admitted that he plays Weekend League every weekend, usually getting himself around 14 wins, and loves playing FIFA — but refuses to use his own pro card. Appearing on goalkeeper Ben Foster’s ‘Fozccast’ podcast, Bowen spoke about the issue with using his pro card. “I’m on FIFA all the time,” he said. “I’m on Weekend League every weekend … I had a Europa League card, which was nice. And you can get the pro player cards, but people know it’s you then, so if I start getting spanked, people start outing me.” Timestamp 51:40 He went on to complain about the fact that EA SPORTS doesn’t give professional footballers free ICONs anymore, before making a prediction for his FIFA rating in FIFA 23. Rated 78 in FIFA 22, Bowen thinks he’ll push into the 80-club with an 81 rating, which would definitely be fair off the back of the incredible season he’s had. With FIFA being removed from the production of EA SPORTS’ hit franchise, and being renamed to EA SPORTS FC, Ultimate Team may well see some changes in the future, but Bowen will no doubt be hoping he could use more highly-rated versions of his own cards during his Weekend League matches.

JD Sports to host esports tournament featuring multiple games L: Retail Gazette, R: Epic GamesSports retailer JD Sports is set to take its first steps into esports with an event titled JDX. JDX will feature tournaments for Fortnite, Rocket League, and FIFA 19, and will begin with offline open qualifiers taking place in London and Manchester. The London qualifiers will take place on July 26 at the Westfield Stratford City shopping center, while the Manchester qualifiers will take place on July 31 at the Trafford Centre. If you wish to participate in the JDX qualifiers, you have to register through the JD Sports mobile app, which can be downloaded for free.

James Maddison builds star-studded FIFA 20 Ultimate Team James Maddison, Instagram / EALeicester City’s rising star James Maddison might be playing his football in one of England’s most exciting young teams, but there’s no lack of experience in his FIFA 20 Ultimate Team. The creative midfielder has been enjoying a successful Premier League campaign so far, as part of the Foxes’ formidable midfield three, joined by Youri Tielemans and Wilfred Ndidi. When given the option to pick any player in the world to buy, from past or present, though, Maddison decided to opt for a very different combination in the middle of the park – in FIFA 20 Ultimate Team. A Reddit user appears to have spotted the 23-year-old reveal the team he’s assembled in EA SPORTS’ popular game mode, opting for a 4-2-3-1 formation, but are any of his Leicester teammates included? Well, let’s take a look at how it shapes up – according to the post from simonk420. Maddison’s FIFA 20 Ultimate Team GK: Alisson Becker – RB: Kyle Walker – CB: Paolo Maldini – CB: Virgil van Dijk – LB: Roberto Carlos – CDM: Ruud Gullit – CDM: N’Golo Kante – CAM: James Maddison – CAM: Ronaldo (R9) – CAM: Pele – ST: Kylian Mbappe – Now, there’s absolutely no doubt that he’s enjoyed threading the ball through to speedsters like Jamie Vardy, Ayoze Perez, and Kelechi Iheanacho this season, but the attacking options in his FUT team are on another level, to be fair. In front of Maddison in his team is a forward three of famous Brazilian striker Ronaldo, Pele – potentially the best player to ever play the game – and Kylian Mbappe, one of the world’s fastest and most promising forwards. It is quite the lineup, to say the least. It should come as no surprise to see van Dijk at the back, playing alongside AC Milan legend and Icon card Maldini, giving the team a quality defense to match the attack. One user offered some chemistry advice to improve the team, too, saying: “Switch himself and Kante for 10 chemistry on everyone,” although it seems he would prefer to play his own 99 card right through the middle.

Japan’s J-League reportedly set to be removed in FIFA 23 EA SPORTSJapan’s J-League is reportedly being removed in FIFA 23 after the league’s organizing body and EA SPORTS agreed to end their partnership, although it could return in the future. The J-League (also known as the Meiji Yasuda J1 League) is the top level of the Japan Professional Football League and one of the most successful leagues in Asia. It’s been included in FIFA titles for more than six years. However, that’s seemingly changing in FIFA 23, the last iteration that will bear the FIFA name before it changes to EA SPORTS FC. The J-League’s teams, players, kits, and badges will no longer be available in any modes, according to a new report. Witcher, an insider who is a reliable source for information on FIFA titles, dropped the news on social media. “After six years, J-League and EA SPORTS end the partnership. FIFA 23 will not feature the league,” he said. It’s led to some speculation that the J-League has struck a licensing deal with Konami’s eFootball 2023, the spiritual successor to the Pro Evolution Soccer (PES) franchise. However, that hasn’t been confirmed yet. https://twitter.com/fifawitcher/status/1531778677725331456?s=21&t=IQ1cZoDOPnxkVCAV1xVzhQ It’s a turbulent time for FIFA players. Not only do they fear other teams and leagues will pull out of licensing partnerships, but they’re also still coming to terms with the fact that the game is being rebranded. However, the developers assured fans that “everything you love about our games will be part of EA SPORTS FC” and claimed to have licenses for more than 19,000 players, 700 teams, 100 stadiums, and 30 leagues.

Jack Grealish’s insane FIFA 21 Ultimate Team revealed with ICON players Graphics: EA SPORTSAston Villa star Jack Grealish has had his FIFA 21 Ultimate Team lineup revealed and it’s a beauty – even if it’s not quite on the level of Erling Haaland’s squad. [jwplayer 4zNI7AsK] Just like everyone else, some professional footballers love nothing more than dominating games of FIFA. This is obviously made a little easier in Ultimate Team given that EA SPORTS hands out Pro Players to these players so you know you’re playing the real deal. Back in November, we covered the first iteration of Jack Grealish’s FIFA 21 Ultimate Team. The Villa star’s squad was filled with ICONS and a number of standout players, but his own 99-rated pro player card was nowhere to be seen. Now, Grealish has significantly upgraded his starting XI with new ICON cards and he’s finally decided to give himself the left-mid position. The upgraded version of the Villa midfielder’s squad was posted to the FIFA subreddit and has over 500 upvotes at the time of writing. Grealish has retained his attacking trio of ICONS, with Pele, Ronaldo, and Butragueno making up a clinical front three. Perhaps the biggest change in his squad is the addition of himself into the left-mid position. FIFA fans were extremely confused why Grealish hadn’t included himself in the previous iteration of his squad. Some players speculated that EA had not given him his Pro Player card at that time. In terms of his defense, he’s gone for Liverpool’s Virgil Van Dijk and Manchester City’s Kyle Walker in the center back position. Two Brazilian legends in Roberto Carlos and Carlos Alberto sit beside them, with Russian ICON Lev Yashin finalizing his squad as goalkeeper. Jack Grealish’s FIFA 21 Ultimate Team XI GK: Lev Yashin – 91 – RB: Carlos Alberto – 90 – LB: Roberto Carlos – 91 – CB: Kyle Walker – 86 – CB: Virgil Van Dijk – 90 – CDM: N’Golo Kante – 89 – RM: Lionel Messi – 93 – LM: Jack Grealish – 99 – CAM: Pele – 95 – ST: Emilio Butragueno – 92 – ST: Ronaldo – 94 – Despite not quite matching the squad of Erling Haaland, Grealish has a solid starting XI that would give any FIFA player a run for their money. It’s great to see he’s active in-game and constantly looking to improve his squad. Who knows, in a few months, Grealish may have made even more adjustments to his already impressive team. It’s worth noting he’s only five legendary players away from a full team of ICONS and it’s fair to say that would be a sight to see. We’ll have to keep an eye out for Grealish on FIFA 21 and check out any upgrades he decides to implement.

Jack Grealish furious as FIFA 23 game face compared to “Toy Story” character EA SPORTSManchester City star Jack Grealish has been left less than impressed with his FIFA 23 gameface, taking a shot at EA SPORTS via Instagram. Even though the main focus of footballers is to perform on the real-life pitch, there are plenty who dive into FIFA and try to prove themselves on the virtual pitch too. As things can get pretty competitive, plenty of these players have weighed in on games over the year – voicing their opinions on how it plays, how they’re rated, and even how they look. With FIFA 23 now being available to everyone, players across the globe have dove into what is EA SPORTS final FIFA game before moving over to the EA SPORTS FC franchise. And, they’ve left Jack Grealish less than impressed with how he looks. Jack Grealish pokes fun at his FIFA 23 gameface The Manchester City star, who has been known to dabble in Weekend League and Ultimate Team over the last few years, questioned just what EA had done to his virtual self. “Nah cmon man, @EASPORTSFIFA. Look like that geeza out of Toy Story!!!!!” he posted on Instagram prior to the Manchester derby. As the picture spread across social media, plenty of fans made the same comparison between his virtual self and Sid – the big-headed villain from the original Toy Story movie. “That’s terrible,” said one. “He can’t even recognize himself,” added another. Some creative fans took it a step further, photoshopping the cartoon villain onto photos of Grealish playing for City, with the results being pretty comical. The English forward has been in mixed form for City so far in this campaign but played a key role in the 6-3 derby day destruction of Manchester United. He won’t be earning himself a Team of the Week, but he might find himself with a better face scan down the line, as EA have been known to update those players who aren’t too happy about it.

Jack Grealish’s FIFA 20 Ultimate Team starting XI has been revealed EA SPORTSAston Villa star Jack Grealish has had his FIFA 20 Ultimate Team starting lineup revealed, but are there any spots for his current Villa teammates? Since breaking through into the Aston Villa first-team, Jack Grealish has become a staple in the Villians senior squad. the 24-year-old’s, who now captains his boyhood club, led them back into the Premier League in 2019, and has already cemented himself as one of the top flights rising stars. After chipping in nine goals, as well as eight assists this term, the midfielder seemed destined to be headed to the European Championships as a part of Gareth Southgate’s England squad. Yet, the ongoing health pandemic has put a stop to all matches, and as a result, he’s been playing FIFA like a tonne of other professional players. During the April 4-5 week of the FUT Champions Weekend League, Grealish took on Reddit user Molerat_king, who subsequently posted the Villa captain’s team on the game’s subreddit. Aside from his 99-rated custom pro player card, the 24-year-old’s starting lineup is chock full of icon moments like Lev Yashin, Pele, Ronaldo, Roberto Carlos, and Paolo Maldini. Though, it’s not a completely icon dominated team. A handful of current-day superstars like Lionel Messi, Sadio Mane, and Virgil Van Dijk have also been chosen to start in his Ultimate Team with their Team of the Year cards. So, it’s a pretty strong lineup. Jack Grealish’s FIFA 20 Ultimate Team Starting XI GK: Lev Yashin – 94 – LB: Roberto Carlos – 93 – RB: Trent Alexander-Arnold – 95 – CB: Virgil Van Dijk – 99 – CB: Paolo Maldini – 92 – CM: Zinedine Zidane – 96 – CAM: Jack Grealish – 99 – LM: Sadio Mane – 97 – RM: Lionel Messi – 99 – ST: Pele – 95 – ST: Ronaldo – 94 – The Redditor also revealed that they were able to get one over on Grealish, defeating the Villa captain by a scoreline of 4-2. So, while it might not look like there is a tonne of room for improvement in his team, Grealish might want to make some tweaks if he’s truly looking to dominate in the Weekend League.

Achraf Hakimi’s attack-heavy FIFA 21 Ultimate Team has been revealed EA SPORTSInter Milan full-back Achraf Hakimi has had his impressive FIFA 21 Ultimate team revealed and his entire midfield is made up of attacking threats. It’s becoming more and more common for FIFA 21 players to run into professional footballers whilst playing Ultimate Team. From Erling Haaland to Mason Mount, it may be their day job to play the sport but the chance to build up their own starting XI is too good to turn down. What’s more, these professionals are no amateurs when it comes to building an effective squad. A lot of them are aware of the game’s meta and can be seen rivaling the best FIFA players on Ultimate Team. However, that doesn’t mean they’re unbeatable, even with their 99 rated Pro Player card. Achraf Hakimi’s Ultimate Team was revealed when he lost a game 6-4 to a FIFA player in Division 4. Achraf Hakimi’s Ultimate Team Achraf Hakimi’s Ultimate team has been revealed after it was posted to the FIFA subreddit by a player who faced him in an online match. According to the player, Hakimi rage quit the match after he was beaten 6-4 in a Division 4 game. Despite the loss, there’s no denying that Hakimi has set up an impressive starting XI in Ultimate Team: GK: Alisson Becker (90) – RB: Nelson Semedo (83) – CB: Raphael Varane (86) – CB: Joe Gomez (85) – LB: Ferland Mendy (83) – CM: Kylian Mbappe (90) – CM: Ruud Gullit (90) – CM: Ronaldo (94) – LF: Pele (95) – RF: Achraf Hakimi (99) – ST: Cristiano Ronaldo (92) – Looking at Hakimi’s team, it’s obvious he’s looking to create an extremely dangerous attacking threat with his front three and midfield. With the likes of Pele and Cristiano Ronaldo up front, his team has a great mixture of pace and clinical finishing ability. Perhaps the most surprising element of Hakimi’s team is his attack-centric midfield, with the likes of Kylian Mbappe and Ronaldo sitting in the central positions. Although it’s definitely a risky strategy, it can be effective if the players are used correctly. Read More: FIFA 21 POTM Premier League predictions – Finally, you can’t have a midfield full of attackers without a solid defense. Luckily, Hakimi delivers with the likes of Raphael Varane, Nelson Semedo, and Joe Gomez making up an impressive backline that works well in the meta. Overall Hakimi has created a solid starting XI that would challenge any great FIFA player. Although he decided to quit the game once he knew he had lost, if anything, that just shows that he’s a true FIFA player at heart. We’ll have to keep track of Hakimi’s squad to see if he makes any upgrades in the near future.

Is FIFA 23 coming to Xbox Game Pass? EA SPORTS / MicrosoftFIFA 23 is set to arrive in September 2022, but will EA’s football sim be making its way to Xbox Game Pass at launch? We’ve got all the details right here. The hype surrounding FIFA 23 is reaching a fever pitch, and fans are itching to jump in and see what EA has up its sleeves in this year’s Ultimate Team and Career Mode. There are plenty of fresh features for players to look forward to, from the new FUT Moments mode to crossplay support. However, not everyone has the means to splash upwards of $60 on a new game. With this in mind, fans will be wondering if FIFA 23 will be available as part of their Xbox Game Pass subscription. Will FIFA 23 be on Xbox Game Pass? Unfortunately, FIFA 23 will not be coming to Xbox Game Pass when it launches on September 30. All hope isn’t lost, however, as history tells us that Game Pass owners may gain access to the game later down the line. EA has a long-standing relationship with the service, and those who subscribe to Game Pass Ultimate even get EA Play titles included in their membership. Thanks to this, the few past FIFA titles have arrived on Game Pass after release, allowing players to download them for no extra cost. The publisher hasn’t confirmed if the same will be the case again in FIFA 23, but with FIFA 19, 20, 21, 22 and all making their way to EA Play, and therefore Game Pass, it’s safe to assume that FIFA 23 will too. However, it’s worth noting that FIFA doesn’t usually hit Game Pass until months after launch. FIFA 21 was made available in the May after launch, and FIFA 22 didn’t arrive until June 2022, so don’t expect to see FIFA 23 on Game Pass until near the end of its life cycle.

Infuriating FIFA 22 bug is making players literally disappear off the pitch EA SPORTSFIFA 22 players are reportedly experiencing an infuriating bug that literally makes players disappear off the pitch, and in worst-case scenarios, it can even leave the goal exposed. FIFA 22 is off to a flying start — at least before its full launch. The consensus is that it’s better than the previous title, although there’s still room for improvement. However, that doesn’t mean it’s free from game-breaking bugs. Not only does it have one that is causing consoles to turn off, but it also has a bizarre one that is causing players to disappear off the pitch after touching the ball. At the beginning of the clip that is going viral, a player tries to header the ball back to his goalkeeper using a defender. However, the defender vanishes into thin air the moment he touches the ball. The pass still goes through though. Once the goalkeeper receives the ball, he also vanishes into thin air. To make matters worse, the two players don’t return to the pitch. Instead, the opponent snaps up the ball and scores into an open net. “How is anything like this acceptable in a game that comes out using the same engine, with minor changes, every single year?” said the Twitter user who re-posted the clip. It has been liked more than 3,000 times. How is anything like this acceptable in a game that comes out using the same engine, with minor changes, every single year? I’d love if EA had some proper competition or took 2 years to build a game with some soul in it. Still on the fence whether I’ll buy it this year #Fifa22 pic.twitter.com/ihhJfudYzS— RonTheDon 🇮🇪 (@RonTheDon001) September 28, 2021 EA SPORTS hasn’t acknowledged the issue yet. However, since the video is gaining lots of traction on social media, those affected by it hope it will catch their eye. It remains to be seen whether a hotfix will come up before the official launch on October 1, or whether players will be subject to the bug for weeks after.

In-game stats for FIFA 20 FUT Season 5 storyline cards revealed Graphics: EA SportsThe stats for the six all-new storyline cards in FIFA 20 Ultimate Teams have been revealed, with Fred, Andrea Belotti, and Yannick Carrasco proving to be the pick of the bunch. With the start of FIFA 20, EA SPORTS introduced their spin on the battle pass craze that has swept across plenty of other games. Instead of paying out for this though, FIFA fans just have to gather up large amounts of XP from playing matches, completing objectives, solving SBCs, and more. Getting to the very end of the season progress bar, and landing at level 30 will see you unlock an untradable storyline card from a selection of three. With the start of season five upon us, the new set of storyline cards have been revealed – and there’s more than just the level thirty cards to get your hands on. The cards unlocked for reaching level thirty in FUT season five are Manchester United’s Fred, Torino’s Andrea Belotti, and Atletico Madrid’s Yannick Carrasco. However, reaching level 15 also grants you access to other cards. These come in the form of Werder Bremen’s American striker Josh Sargent, Maritimo’s Daizen Maeda, and Sampdoria’s Morten Thorsby. These cards are all 86-rated, while the level thirty trio are all 89-rated. But what about their in-game stats? Well, we can take a look at those too. Josh Sargent FIFA 20 Storyline card in-game stats Just by looking at his on card stats, the 86-rated Sargent looks to be a dangerously quick striker that could fit into any Bundesliga set-up. Taking a dive into his in-game stats shows how correct that assessment would be. The American striker has 89 sprint speed and 93 acceleration to go along with his 89 finishing, 88 shot power, and 79 long shots. Daizen Maeda FIFA 20 Storyline card in-game stats It is rare you come across an all-Liga Nos squad in Ultimate Team, however, Maeda might be an option for anyone looking for pure pace. The Japanese center-forward clocks in with a whopping 96 sprint speed and 97 acceleration, while having 91 finishing, 88 shot power, and 89 attack positioning to boot as well. Morten Thorsby FIFA 20 Storyline card in-game stats Unlike his other two 86-rated storyline cards, Morten Thorsby isn’t going to set the world alight with his sprint speed – that only comes in at 84. However, the young Norwegian looks to be a bit of a destroyer in the heart of midfield. He has 93 reactions, 89 standing tackle, and 88 aggression. Yet, it is his heading that stands out. Thorsby has 99 heading accuracy and 93 jumping so he’ll take on anyone in the air. Andrea Belotti FIFA 20 Storyline card in-game stats Andrea Belotti is a name that many FIFA fans will recognize as the Italian forward has been deadly in front of goal for a few years now. His new storyline card is no different. The Torino striker has 98 finishing, 91 shot power, 90 strength, and 92 heading accuracy as his standout stats. 87 in both acceleration and sprint speed means he’s pretty quick across the ground too. Yannick Carrasco FIFA 20 Storyline card in-game stats After a spell in China, Yannick Carrasco is back at Atletico Madrid and wreaking havoc in FIFA. The Belgian winger has also been an option for La Liga teams and his storyline card is more of the same. He is lightning quick with 94 sprint speed and 95 acceleration, while he can handle himself in front of goal too. Carrasco has 88 finishing, 93 shot power, 85 log shots, and 90 free-kick accuracy. Fred FIFA 20 Storyline card in-game stats Premier League Ultimate Teams always needs an all-rounder in the middle of the park and the storyline Fred card suits the bill. The Brazilian is a well-balanced card with 90 short and long pass, 87 dribbling, 89 standing tackle, and 84 long shots. He presents an alternative to cards like N’Golo Kante, Jean-Philippe Gbamin, and Tanguy NDombele. So, there you have it, all the in-game stats for the six new storyline cards inside FIFA 20 FUT season five. The XP grind will, very well, prove to be worthwhile for these ones but make sure you choose correctly. You have until Friday, April 24 to get your hands on them so, what are you waiting for?

In-game stats for FIFA 20 FUT Season 6 storyline cards revealed EA SPORTSThe stats for the six all-new storyline objective cards in FIFA 20 Ultimate Teams have been revealed, with Samuel Umtiti, Mario Gotze, and Pedro proving to be the pick of the bunch for season six. While the formula for FIFA Ultimate Team has largely remained the same for a few years, EA SPORTS added a few different wrinkles with FIFA 20. The most noticeable difference, aside from the gameplay, of course, has been the additions of the seasons and storylines. The XP earned from finishing games, completing squad building objectives, challenges, and even just buying players from the market now accumulates into rewards. While many of these are cosmetics, packs, and coin boosts – levels 15 and 30 have three cards each for you to choose from. With season six going live on Friday, April 23, six all-new cards were added in as objective rewards – Ianis Hagi, Mohamed Elyounoussi, and Juan Agudelo at level 15, as well as Samuel Umtiti, Mario Gotze, and Pedro at level 30. As in the past, these cards come from a variety of leagues in FUT – with the Scottish Premier League, MLS, Bundesliga, La Liga Santander, and Premier League being used here. So, let’s explore the new cards and their stats. Ianis Hagi FIFA 20 Storyline card in-game stats Even though they’ve seemingly fallen short in the league this year, Rangers have had some dangerous cards in FUT 20. The name Ryan Kent will send chills down the spine of many fans. Hagi’s card looks like something that could rival Kent as a lethal card. His 95 sprint speed and 91 acceleration means he’s quick off the blocks, while 83 shooting means he knows how to finish. 97 stamina means he’ll run all day, too. Mohamed Elyounoussi FIFA 20 Storyline card in-game stats On the opposite side of the Old Firm divide to Hagi stands Elyounoussi. The Norwegian winger has been a nightmare for defences in FIFA for a number of years, with this card taking it up a notch. Like Hagi, his 87 sprint speed and 94 acceleration means he’ll burn defenders, while 88 and 90 shot power makes him someone to respect around the 18-yard box. 93 ball control and dribbling will make him a nuisance to take dispossess. Juan Agudelo FIFA 20 Storyline card in-game stats The final level 15 storyline card comes in the form of Juan Agudelo. The Inter Miami striker is 87-rated, just like the other two, and comes as a striker – not CAM or LM. The American striker is ultra-quick with 94 sprint speed and 90 acceleration, while he also knows where the net is – 83 finishing is evidence of that. Though, just the 82 stamina is a downside. Pedro FIFA 20 Storyline card in-game stats As a 90-rated card, Pedro is certainly a step up from the three level 15 players, but you will have to work pretty hard for it as level 30 is not an easy mountain to climb. Chelsea’s Spanish forward clocks in with 93 acceleration and 87 sprint speed, so he is reasonably quick. 89 finishing, 88 shot power, and 90 long shots mean you will have to defend him pretty seriously. Mario Gotze FIFA 20 Storyline card in-game stats The other standout level 30 card comes in the form of Mario Gotze. The Borussia Dortmund midfielder has never been the easiest of customers to play against, and this 90-rated card is more of the same. He has 98 ball control, 92 dribbling, 87 finishing, and 90 long passing to go with his 90 short passing. 88 stamina won’t impress many players, but the other stats will. Samuel Umtiti FIFA 20 Storyline card in-game stats The final level 30 card is a 90-rated version of Barcelona’s defender Samuel Umtiti. The Frenchman is typically a sought after card and this one should prove to be no different. Read More: FIFA 20 TOTSSF content roadmap revealed – His 81 sprint speed means he can recover in defence, though, that is if someone can get past him. Umtiti has 91 strength, 93 slide tackle, and 92 interceptions. 88 short passing means he can play out from the back too. Once you hit the respective level for these cards, you will only be able to choose one from each – so be careful. These cards will be cycled out on Friday, June 5 so make sure that you try and get who you’re after!

FIFA 21 Road to the Final Team 1: Salah, Rashford, Oblak EA SPORTSEA SPORTS have confirmed much of November will be all about the FIFA 21 Road to the Final promo in Ultimate Team, confirming a start date and a couple of players in contention for RTTF cards. The game’s developers have rolled out multiple promos already in FIFA 21, including their weekly TOTW program, Ones to Watch, Rulebreakers, and even Flashbacks too. Next up is one based on the UEFA Champions League and Europa League, as we saw last year. Here’s the team! FIFA 21 Road to the Final Team 1 The first Road to the Finals team is out and includes some big names and excellent cards. A new Rashford card will surely make waves in the meta, and Mo Salah gets a nice upgrade. For defense, Davies looks like he’s going to be a top tier back and Klostermann will be a good pickup on German teams. Oblak makes for a great addition as a LaLiga Keeper as well. When does FIFA 21 Road to the Final start? On November 3, EA confirmed that the Road to the Final promo starts up in FIFA 21 on November 6. Just like other promo events, it will start up at 6pm (BST). It will likely span over the next two weeks, with two different sets of cards released. FIFA 21 RTTF SBC cards On the same day of that announcement, they also revealed the first two players up for RTTF SBC contention. The winner of Real Madrid’s game against Inter Milan would see their player handed a boosted card, which we now know will be Isco after his team won 3-2 in the CL Group Stage match. It may have left people wondering what happens in the event of a draw. For future reference, a tweet from the devs said: “In the event of a draw, the player from the club higher in the group after Matchday 3 will get it”. There can be only one ⚔ The player from the winning team in today’s @realmadriden vs. @Inter group stage match will receive a Road to the Final SBC item!

Let’s take a look at our previous predictions and see how we did. FIFA 21 Road to the Final predictions It’s difficult to say which specific players will be picked so early on, though we can certainly speculate about the teams selected. Liverpool – Real Madrid – Manchester City – Chelsea – Manchester United – Barcelona – Ajax – Lyon – Napoli – Borussia Dortmund – Bayern Munich – Sevilla – Arsenal – Roma – Juventus – Leicester – Feyenoord – Celtic – Lazio – When we have official card news, we’ll be the first to let you know.

Iheanacho wins FIFA 21 POTM for March | SBC guide Graphics: EA SPORTSLeicester City’s Kelechi Iheanacho has bagged Premier League Player of the Month honors for March, and that means he’s got a new card in FIFA 21 Ultimate Team. Here’s what you need to know about his SBC. After back-to-back Player of the Month awards for Manchester City’s Ilkay Gundogan, Leicester forward Kelechi Iheanacho has finally broken the German’s streaker. The Nigerian forward has been in lethal form for the Foxes, bagging five goals in three games, including his first Premier League hat-trick in a win over Sheffield United. As a result, he’s now got a new 86-rated card in Ultimate Team, but you can only get it from his brand-new SBC. So, here’s what you need to know. 𝙁𝙄𝙑𝙀 goals in 3️⃣ games 🔥 Introducing March’s @premierleague #POTM… @67Kelechi 👏#FIFA21 #FUT pic.twitter.com/d2OjSUSfRS — EA SPORTS FC (@EASPORTSFC) April 2, 2021 FIFA 21 Iheanacho POTM SBC (March) As you’d expect, Iheanacho’s new card comes with some nice boosted stats, but it’s his pace and shooting that stand out and could make him an under-the-radar gem. Read More: All FIFA 21 FUT Birthday Team 2 cards – He’s got enough pace to break through the lines of defenses as a late sub, and he’s going to be deadly in the box as well thanks to his 89 finishing. Thankfully, unlike some POTM Squad Building Challenges, you don’t need to tick six boxes to grab the forward. Instead, the SBC consists of three teams. Requirements Leicester City Players from Leicester City: Min 1 – Squad Rating: Min 80 – Team Chemistry: Min 80 – Players in the Squad: 11 – Premier League Players from Premier League: Min 1 – Team of the Week cards: Min 1 – Squad Rating: Min 85 – Team Chemistry: Min 65 – Players in the Squad: 11 – National Duty Players from Nigeria: Min 1 – Squad Rating: Min 80 – Team Chemistry: Min 80 – Players in the Squad: 11 – Cost Again, it looks like Iheanacho’s is going to be on the cheaper side of some Player of the Month SBCs that have already cropped up this season. According to FUTBin, it’s currently setting players back around 200,000 to 210,000 coins, depending on the platform you play on. Though, we’ve got solutions that should save you some coins. Solutions Leicester City SBC Premier League SBC National Duty SBC Iheanacho FIFA 21 POTM SBC review As previously noted, the card is a nice one for any Premier League team owner but if you’ve got a squad that’s on the higher end of things, he might not be an automatic starter. We’d like to see some better passing before giving him a starting role. However, he’s absolutely a great bench option if you’ve got a space. Think back to the Teemu Pukki or Jamie Vardy POTM cards from FIFA 20, and that’s what we could have on our hands here. A dangerous fox in the box that ruins tired defenders.

Huge Gorilla explains why FUT Birthday Rashford is a “total ripoff” EA SportsManchester United’s golden boy Marcus Rashford was one of the headliners for FIFA 20’s latest Ultimate Team promo, FUT Birthday, but while many are celebrating his 90-rated upgrade, Spencer ‘Huge Gorilla’ Ealing isn’t convinced. FIFA 20’s newly-released FUT Birthday promo featured big names like Kylian Mbappe, Eden Hazard, and Antoine Griezmann, but it was popular Premier League striker Rashford many tipped as a top pick in the upgraded team. Not everyone is sold, though. After getting his hands on the boosted English forward’s new card, YouTube star Huge Gorilla took him for a spin in the Weekend League. After 30 games, Ealing has dubbed the card a “total ripoff.” “Inconsistent” Rashford not worth the coins, says Gorilla According to Gorilla, who revealed his thoughts on Rashford’s Birthday card in his latest FUT Champs video, the English forward is just “too inconsistent” to provide the game-changing impact a multi-million coin card should bring to the team. “I think people will disagree with me, whether you’ve used him or not… but he’s not worth 1.5 million coins, that’s a total ripoff. He’s not agile. His finishing is kind of decent, yeah, but he’s inconsistent with that as well,” the YouTube star explained. “1.5 to 1.6 million coins is what I paid for him. For that, I’m expecting something really good from that. He doesn’t offer me anything different to an 89 Kylian Mbappe [the French star’s base gold card]. Nothing made me say ‘oh my god’.” Would Rashford work better as a pure ST? Gorilla did admit his positional choice for the United striker’s boosted card may have played a part in his “disappointment,” though. Rashford was released as a 90-rated striker, but spent Ealing’s WL run as a left-sided CAM – moving in-game. There’s not a lot of difference between the two roles, to be fair. According to FIFA stats site FUTBIN, the card’s base stats rank at 87 as a ST, and 86 as a CAM. In Huge Gorilla’s eyes, there shouldn’t be a big difference. “He has five-star weak foot and skills, but I didn’t really see that playing him at left mid. If he was at striker, maybe he’s better; he wasn’t special enough to warrant the price tag. He was decent… but for 1.5m that’s a big no from me,” he added. For mobile readers, the related segment begins at 5:59 in the video below. Who could be a better FUT signing than Rashford? Marcus Rashford’s FUT Birthday card may not be worth the pickup, but that doesn’t mean the whole promo is a write-off, Gorilla said. According to the YouTuber, another Premier League star is the “hidden gem” for the team. That ‘gem’ is Newcastle’s French forward Allan Saint-Maximin. Gorilla admitted the RW card was “in the top three or four” best cards he’d used in FIFA 20. He went as far as to say it felt “the same as Neymar,” if not even better. Saint-Maximin is currently selling for around one million coins on Xbox, and 1.2m on PS4 and PC. If you are looking for a cheaper card, Gorilla added you could stick to FUT’s tried-and-true striker — Mbappe currently costs around 400-500k.

How to complete Wayne Rooney Flashback FIFA 20 SBC: solution & cost EAEnglish star Wayne Rooney’s Flashback SBC has been released in FIFA 20 Ultimate Team to celebrate his unstoppable 2009/10 season with Manchester United, and we’ve got all the details on how to unlock the limited edition card. For the second year in a row, England’s former golden boy has been bestowed a powerful boosted Flashback card. This time the Derby midfielder has been dialed up to 91, and packs a whopping 92 shooting — but is he worth crafting? From in-game stats and value, to the cost of the squad-building challenge on Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and PC, we’ve got you covered below. Rooney’s SBC time limit, requirements, & cost The former English hero’s +11 upgrade was released on March 1, and will remain available as an SBC challenge until 6pm GMT, Sunday, March 8. Rooney’s Flashback SBC requires three challenges to complete – high-rated squads based around Manchester United (84), England (85), and rare players (86). Manchester United Players from Manchester United: Min 1 – Squad Rating: Min 84 – Team Chemistry: Min 80 – Players in the Squad: 11 – Reward: Small Prime Gold Players Pack – England Players from England: Min 1 – Squad Rating: Min 85 – Team Chemistry: Min 75 – Players in the Squad: 11 – Reward: Prime Electrum Players Pack – 86-rated squad Squad Rating: Min 86 – Team Chemistry: Min 70 – Players in the Squad: 11 – Reward: Rare Mixed Players Pack – As of publishing, the three-squad challenge costs around 245,000 to complete for PS4 players, 260,000 for Xbox One players, and 275,000 for Origin PC-based players, according to FIFA 20 stats website Futbin. Here is the cheapest squad available for the Manchester United puzzle. In terms of northern players, Luke Shaw (81) and the club’s huge offseason signing Harry Maguire (82) are the keys to this SBC solution. Here is the England solution for Rooney’s SBC challenge. This cheap solution foregoes a big focus on English players despite the guidelines, slotting Maddison (82) into the RB position and building a mixed squad around him. Constructing an 86-rated squad is fairly simple, especially considering there’s no restrictions on which players you can use. Here is a cheap option. Why was Rooney given a Flashback SBC? While Manchester United’s 2009/10 season may not have been the best the club has put in the books — the three-time defending champions slipped to Chelsea by a single point in the Premier League — Rooney was unstoppable. The English star made a total of 42 starts for United in all competitions and found the back of the net a hefty 34 times. In the league alone, he played in 32 games, and scored 26. He was only beaten by Chelsea’s Didier Drogba. Rooney’s crowning achievements scoring-wise came in the middle of the campaign. Against relegation-threatened Portsmouth, the striker slammed home three for his first hat-trick of the season. Weeks later, he put four past Hull City. He also played a key role in the team’s 4–3 victory over bitter local rivals Manchester City in Matchday 6, scoring in the second minute of play. United would go on to claim victory with a 96th-minute go-ahead goal from Michael Owen. Rooney’s in-game stats & value So is the return of England’s golden striker worth picking up for your Ultimate Team? At first glance, the card seems well-tuned — 89 pace brings him to the top of the current meta, and he boasts an elite 92 shooting stat to boot. He also makes up for his lack of height — just 5’9” — with some top-tier stats, including 85 jumping, 93 heading accuracy, and 98 reactions, all of which means he can either play with the ball at his feet, or smash them in with his head. There are a few flaws, of course. The fact the 33-year-old is now playing for Derby County is one of them, and means you may have to do a bit of team-building to figure out a way to get him into your starting eleven. That can be mitigated by England’s host of special cards this FIFA, however. You could pick up Raheem Sterling’s 93 rated Headliners card, or double up on United forwards with Mason Greenwood’s 90-rated Future Stars release. FIFA 20’s breakout SBC star Sean Maguire, Preston North End’s pacey Irish striker, could be another option to pair with the veteran English midfielder. With Rooney’s 89-passing feeding Maguire and his 98 pace, the combo could be lethal. Overall, Rooney seems like a decent pickup for any English fans, and especially Manchester United supports who miss the glory days with their number 10 forward. Otherwise, there may be better options out there with easier links.

How to watch Premier League matches live on Twitch for free Premier League / Twitch[jwplayer kBfl6w9P]Twitch has been livestreaming the Premier League as an extension to Amazon’s deal to air live matches to their Prime Video service. Here’s how and when to catch the streams. Following Amazon’s acquisition of Twitch for almost $1 billion back in 2014, the livestreaming platform has been constantly expanding its horizons. After recently venturing into the realm of sports with their Thursday Night Football broadcasts of the NFL and partnering with Formula 1, Twitch are now dipping their toes into football by showcasing the return of the Premier League. The next match up is Sheffield United v Everton. Sheffield United v Everton Twitch stream Everton have been having a tough time of things lately, with relatively little promise coming out of the Toffees since the restart of the Premier League. With nothing to fight for in terms of European competition or a relegation battle, Everton have been struggling to pick up points, but if their individuals are in form they could be a solid match-up for their opposition. Sheffield United, on the other hand, have had a truly memorable season. Their results under Chris Wilder in recent years have been nothing short of extraordinary, and to top it off they’re now facing the possibility of securing a Europa League spot during their first Premier League season in 13 years. The points are crucial to them and, at their own stadium, they’ll be expecting to pick up all three. The match is due to kick off at 6 PM BST on Monday, July 20 on the Twitch stream embedded below. Please remember that this is only available for UK viewers. Some familiar faces should be part of the broadcast, as Amazon have used the likes of Gabby Logan and Gary Lineker to present the coverage. Belgium manager Roberto Martinez, Lee Dixon, and Alan Shearer have provided punditry too, while Clive Tyldesley, Jon Champion, Peter Drury, and Ally McCoist have been on commentary. Premier League stream on Twitch As part of the extension from Amazon’s Prime Video deal with the Premier League, there will be four total matches livestreamed on Twitch.

Twitch FIFA streamer Bateson has also been co-streaming the matches on his channel, so you can watch along with his commentary if you prefer.

How to watch FIFA 21 gameplay reveal stream: new AI, creative runs, more EA SPORTSEA SPORTS are set to unveil all the FIFA 21 gameplay for this year’s Ultimate Team, Career Mode, Volta, and more in a gameplay trailer set to premiere on August 4. Here’s everything you need to know about the upcoming livestream. Fans have been getting a slow-drip of FIFA 21 information over the past few weeks, including an official trailer on July 23 — which allegedly had a couple of sneaky clues teasing new FIFA 21 features — and a host of unofficial leaks. EA is poised to drop their biggest info dump in a new gameplay trailer next, and we’ve got all the details. The livestream itself is set to premiere on YouTube on August 4. In fact, the “Official Gameplay Trailer” is already publicly listed. The trailer drops around 30 hours from now. For US fans, that’s 10am (CT) or 11am (EDT) depending on which coast you’re on. If you’re based in the United Kingdom, you’ll be able to watch all the new action from 5pm (BST). FIFA 21 gameplay trailer livestream FIFA 21 gameplay trailer: what to expect The new FIFA 21 trailer promises it will “dig deeper on all the new gameplay features” set to arrive in the 2020 release. EA has teased the planned FIFA gameplay overhaul will “reward players for creativity and control.” For those FIFA fans worrying all these new features may just be EA fluff ahead of the new release — a fair concern, to be honest — rest easy; the publishers have confirmed there will be a minor overhaul coming for franchise’s gameplay. “Informed by the feedback from the community, revisions to the fundamentals of football in FIFA raise the game throughout the pitch,” EA wrote in a FIFA 21 update released last month. This overhaul will include “manual headers, more balanced blocking, more intelligent passing, and increased responsiveness. This gives you more control on and off the ball,” the series publishers explained. Creative Runs, Positioning Personality, more This new overhaul will also see a number of new features added to the series. EA gameplay producer Tom Caleffi said ‘creative runs’ will be a “game-changer”; the same can also be said for the new ‘agile dribbling’ skill too. FIFA 21 will also see the series AI tweaked again. That change comes in the form of a new “positioning personality” system. This should make vs-computer games “a bit more fluid.” “World-class forwards will hold their runs to stay level with the last defender to stay onside,” the devs explained. “Playmakers will hunt for space to operate between the lines. The best defenders will close down passing lanes more effectively to make it harder for the opposition to create opportunities.” So there you have it — everything we can expect from the FIFA 21 gameplay trailer. Hopefully the new announcements are just as exciting as all the other news we’ve heard, including the rumors fitness cards will finally be dumped in Ultimate Team. Keep an eye on our Twitter account @UltimateTeamUK to hear about all the new features first, and don’t forget to tune into the gameplay premiere on August 4!

How to watch FIFA 22 eMLS Cup: Start date, stream & live event details eMLSeMLS Cup will crown the best FIFA 22 player in North America this year in Austin, Texas, bringing an end to two years of remote play for the event. Major League Soccer and Electronic Arts confirmed the plans for the competition on March 8, with the fifth edition of eMLS Cup being played in front of a live audience and in collaboration with Austin FC. Last season, it was New York City FC’s Didychrislito who took the trophy home after beating George Adamou 6-4 in the Grand Final, scooping a $20,000 prize for his efforts. The accomplishment also meant that he completed a grand slam in the region, after winning League Series 1 and League Series 2 in the same campaign. He will not be defending that title in Austin this Spring, though, as he’s not competing – blowing the competition wide open. Bion West, Director of Properties (eMLS), MLS said: “The fifth edition of eMLS Cup will bring together the worlds of interactive entertainment, soccer, music, and pop culture in true and unique MLS fashion. “After two years of being remote, our competitors will once again have the thrill of competing in front of an audience, and our fans – whether attending in-person or watching remotely – will experience an energy unique to eMLS live events,” he continued. eMLS Cup 2022: Start date & venue As confirmed by MLS and EA, eMLS Cup starts on March 13, 2022. It will take place in Austin, Texas, and at the Austin City Limits Live venue. How to watch eMLS Cup 2022: Stream The eMLS Cup event will be streamed live across Major League Soccer’s platforms at 12PM PST / 3PM EST / 8PM GMT / 9PM CEST, including the following: eMLS Cup 2022: What to expect Format & prize pool North America’s top 12 competitors in FIFA 22 – each representing an MLS club – will lock horns at ACL Live, part of a bracket elimination format. Each game is played over two legs, similar to the Champions League’s knockout stages. “eMLS Cup provides an opportunity for the EA SPORTS FIFA community at-large to come together to celebrate their shared love of esports and football,” said Sam Turkbas, EA SPORTS FIFA Competitive Gaming Commissioner. “The longevity of EA and MLS’s partnership will continue to accelerate EA SPORTS FIFA growth and strengthen the love for sport in North America.” The winner takes home most of the $35,000 prize pool and the golden eMLS Cup trophy, with the top three finishers also landing direct invites to the EA SPORTS FIFA 22 Global Series Playoffs. It’s here where they can compete to be named the best FIFA player on the planet. Live activities & giveaways There are a number of in-person activities to get involved with during the event, with some giveaways in the works – similar to last year. Activations on the ground in Austin, Texas, include stations to customize limited-edition eMLS kits, printing EA SPORTS FIFA Ultimate Team-style cards, testing your FIFA skills in gaming pods, and there will be a special musical performance taking the stage as well. Plenty to sink your teeth into. There will also be an artist, Geoff Gouveia, on-site completing a mural painting to celebrate eMLS Cup 2022, and he will be designing custom eMLS-themed Adidas Stan Smith shoes to be given away to fans. Hosting partner Austin FC will host a post-party at ACL Live following the championship ceremony, featuring a live musical performance. “SXSW is an iconic Austin event,” said Andy Loughnane, Austin FC President. “eMLS Cup will deliver a new layer of competitive gaming within SXSW, offering the opportunity for soccer and gaming fans to converge at one of the city’s most legendary venues.” Not everybody will be able to visit Austin, but there are also some prizes to be won for those watching along at home. A press release stated: “For those not able to attend in person, this year’s eMLS Cup will introduce a number of viewership incentives and innovations for fans tuning in from home. By linking their Twitch and EA accounts, viewers will have the opportunity to earn exclusive digital and physical rewards. “Prizes will be rewarded incrementally through viewership milestones and include items such as an eMLS crest (30 minutes), FGS Player Swap Token (60 minutes), and an eMLS TIFO (90 minutes). Viewers can also earn prizes like MLS jerseys and EA SPORTS FIFA Points by engaging with polls and trivia questions run on the Sport Buff extension. Additionally, viewers can watch eMLS Cup alongside some of their favorite EA SPORTS FIFA content creators, including CHI_Kacee, Leah Revelle, and more who will host watch parties on their Twitch channels.”

How to use FIFA 21 Gameplay Rewind feature in-game EA SPORTS[jwplayer CIjKnlLy]EA SPORTS appear to have taken some inspiration from Forza Motorsport and have announced a brand new replay feature for FIFA 21 – Gameplay Rewind. This addition does seem awfully similar to that of Microsoft Studios’ Forza series, which allows players to have a second crack at something by activating it. In the case of driving, this might be a dodgy turn or a collision that puts you in fifth rather than first. In FIFA 21, missing a sitter might be a thing of the past for those who decide to use this new feature, as you can replay big moments of a match. FIFA 21 replay feature confirmed, but not for all modes The new feature was unveiled as part of EA SPORTS’ gameplay reveal package, released on August 4. In their gameplay trailer, players might have been surprised to see that a striker was able to watch their shot sail over the bar, only to re-take their effort moments later. That’s how replay works. (Replay feature timestamped at 2:45 below) “Don’t worry if you miss your chance, have another go of striking it just right with new Gameplay Rewind in Kick-Off mode for a second shot at perfection,” the narrator says in the trailer. How does FIFA 21 Gameplay Rewind work? It’s a pretty simple feature. Stuff up a shot, or accidentally get one of your players sent off for a bad tackle? You can go back in time and replay the scenario out with Gameplay Rewind. You can rewind the same play as many times as you like until you get the result you want. However, you can’t rewind to get back to an earlier point than your original replay. You can rewind the same scenario multiple times. When you rewind once, you cannot rewind to before that first rewind. https://t.co/2wgimceEJV — EA SPORTS FC Direct Communication (@EASFCDirect) August 5, 2020 Those who would like to use their feature, even just to test it out, here’s a step-by-step guide on how it works. How to use FIFA 21 Gameplay Rewind Jump into FIFA 21. – Load up Kick-Off, select the teams, and start a match up. – Select a part of the game you would like to replay. This might be a corner kick, a bad pass, penalty, or a missed opportunity. – Hit the Gameplay Rewind option in-game, which will bring you back a few seconds. – Replay that part and there you go, you’ve mastered it already. – Ultimate Team players don’t need to worry about it, though, as it’s only available in Kick-Off. There’s not going to be a situation where somebody misses in the last minute on FUT Champions, retakes their shot and scores – thankfully.

Each FIFA 22 account can only recover up to five discard FUT cards in any thirty-day period.

Past that, they’re lost forever. So there you have it — how to save that rare Ultimate Team card you accidentally cashed in for pennies.

How to use EA Connection Quality feature for FIFA 21 EA SportsEA has announced the launch of Connection Quality, a new service that aims to explain to FIFA players how their internet connection is affecting their experience [jwplayer S0RLWo1s] The FIFA community has been vocal about the connection problems that the new title has faced, especially since the release of Update 5 on the 11th of November. Released the day after the update, Connection Quality provides players with data regarding their internet connection, displaying the levels of Ping, Jitter, and Packet Loss of the players’ internet connection. The service requires users to sign in with their EA accounts before providing them with a “Connection Score.” Connection Score (a numerical rating up to 100) summarizes the performance of the user’s internet connection using data from their FIFA 21 matches, taking the metrics mentioned above into consideration. “This allows for an easier understanding of the relevant Connection Quality, as well as for easier comparisons between two different measurements of Connection Quality.” Explains the EA Help post. Interestingly, Connection Quality also provides users with a useful comparison with the highest performing ISP connection in your area. This service is specifically made to improve the experience of FIFA 21 players and will take into account all online matches in FIFA, FUT, Pro Clubs, and even VOLTA! Connection Quality also provides you with a match history that provides information about the performance of your internet connection during each individual match. Players have met this announcement coldly, with most stating that the tool is inaccurate and is a way to shift the blame of the game’s bad performance from EA to the users. While Connection Quality might not appear as the immediate solution to the connectivity problems in FIFA 21, it will allow EA to gather data about the internet performance of its users in order to improve their systems. It is also important to understand that the service is still in beta, meaning its functionality and performance will be improving in the coming months.

How to unlock 100 Thieves Championship jersey in FIFA 20 – SBC solutions 100 Thieves’ black 2019 Championship jersey is now available as a wearable kit in FIFA 20’s FIFA Ultimate Team (FUT) mode, and players can unlock it by completing a special Squad Building Challenge (SBC). With FIFA growing as an esport over the past few years, EA Sports have looked to help bridge the gap between the casual and competitive player-bases by added kits from various esports organizations to the game. Despite not having any competitive FIFA players of their own, 100 Thieves have been chosen to be one of those organizations and their 2019 Championship jersey became available in-game on November 26. The black kit features the 100 Thieves logo on the top right side and the word ‘THIEVES’ written across the chest in large, bold, white letters. There is, of course, a separate goalkeeper’s kit featuring a reversed color scheme – the shirt is white and the lettering is black. The reason this is called 100T’s Championship jersey is because their professional Call of Duty team wore it whenever they made it to the final day of a CoD tournament, often referred to as “Championship Sunday.” The @100Thieves Championship Black Jersey is now in #FIFA20! 🙌 Available in SBCs for a limited time. pic.twitter.com/h4pC4SuxUJ — EA SPORTS FC (@EASPORTSFC) November 26, 2019 How to solve 100 Thieves kit SBC in FUT 20 The only way to get the 100 Thieves 2019 Championship jersey in FIFA 20 is by completing a special SBC that was released for it on November 26. There are several requirements that need to be met in order to successfully complete this SBC: Players from the same nation: max 3 – Players from the same league: min 4 – Rare players: min 4 – Team Chemistry: min 85 – Number of players in the squad: 11 – FUTBIN, a website that offers price points and solutions for all FIFA 20 SBCs, currently has the cheapest solution for this 100 Thieves challenge at 2,200 coins on PlayStation 4, just under 4,000 coins on the Xbox One, and 14,450 coins on Origin for PC. Here is the current cheapest group of 11 players that can be used to complete this SBC. Keep in mind, however, that player prices can fluctuate at any moment, so it’s best to get this done before prices start going up. While that is not an expensive SBC by any means, especially at this point in the FIFA life cycle, it’s important to note that it will be available only for a limited time. The in-game timer shows that players have only six days left to complete it, which sets the expiration date on Monday, December 2.

How to turn on FIFA 23’s offside flag indicator EA SPORTSEA SPORTS has added a really useful FIFA 23 settings option that allows you to add an offside flag icon over a player’s head during the game to avoid being flagged. Here, we’ll show you how to turn it on. Deciding to pass to players who are standing in offside positions must be annoying for footballers in real life, and in FIFA 23 where the momentum of a match can shift so quickly, it’s just as important. Custom tactics and formations will get your lineup playing a certain style of football, but the timing of runs and executing direct passes are the key to any play style. So, EA has added a new offside indicator option in the game’s trainer settings to help us out. If you want to avoid being offside or improve your deliveries to attacking runners, this is the guide for you. How to turn on FIFA 23 offside indicator This trick was first found on Reddit by user Glibhat, so credit where credit is due. Turn on FIFA 23 using your Xbox, PlayStation or PC. – Start a match on any game mode. – Hit the pause button. – Select Trainer Settings and click Offside Indicator. – Activate the Offside Indicator and jump back into the game. – There it is – a simple way to turn on an indicator that, in theory, could save you from making lots of wasteful passes to strikers looking to break through the lines. Some members of the Ultimate Team community, in particular, have highlighted one annoying setback to the settings change. The change does not always save, meaning you will have to activate the indicator during the game of every match. Others have reported that by making the change on the main menu, clicking into settings, and doing it that way will have it remain connected to your player profile.

How to trade FIFA 21 meta cards and make more FUT coins EA SPORTSWhile there are plenty of tricks to get coins on the FIFA 21 Ultimate Team transfer market, trading meta cards is one of the best. Here’s how you can profit fast with this method. [jwplayer zuUQpFp8] While players like Neymar, Kylian Mbappe, and Cristiano Ronaldo dominate the upper echelons of play in FIFA 21, not everyone can afford them. There are plenty of popular meta cards that aren’t quite as expensive, like Adama Traore and Rodrigo, and you can profit off of them to build up your club’s net worth. These budget meta cards are constantly fluctuating in value, and it’s actually quite predictable in terms of when their values go up and down. You can turn a big profit by knowing how to get these cards cheap and sell them for more. Here’s the best way to do it. FIFA 21 meta trading guide Identifying FIFA 21 meta cards It’s important to say, right off the bat, that the meta in FIFA is an ever-changing beast. You might think you know the cards people are using one week, but the next that may just shift and you don’t want to end up with loads of cards that you can’t get rid of. A great example of a market dip would be Richarlison. Almost every streamer was playing with him at the beginning of the game, but quickly he was replaced by a flurry of special Premier League cards in the meta, and his value soon plummeted. At the time of writing, good players to buy for trading would be the likes of Rodrigo, Adama Traore, Gabriel Jesus, Nelson Semedo, and Alex Telles. Though, those players are not set in stone. Next week, they could be completely different, but fast and cheap cards usually do retain their value – especially if they have a good weak foot. Cards that are valued 50k and below, but you regularly see in people’s teams, are a great starting point. How to snipe cards The best way to find the value of these cards is to check them out on the market. Let’s take Gabriel Jesus, for example. The majority of his cards go for around 12,500 on Xbox One at the time of writing. If you change the “max buy now price” filter to around 11,000 coins, you can find people who are trying to sell the card quickly for cheaper. When buying a card at a cheaper price, you should consider other factors as well. Does the card have a valuable chemistry style, like Hunter on Jesus? Does the card have very few contracts? These factors can both positively and negatively impact the value of the card – even slightly. Buying a few of these cards at sniped prices is the ideal scenario, then take to the market. Here’s our guide on how to snipe in FIFA 21, for more tips. Relisting the cards When relisting these cards, price them slightly higher than the average value. You need to consider tax too, as on the FIFA 21 transfer market, all sales are taxed at 5%. This means you should sell your Jesus for at least 12,000 to turn a reasonable profit — or hold onto them for his price to go up later in the week. The best days to sell these players are in the run up to the FUT Champions Weekend League, in most cases. There is absolutely no guarantee you’re going to pick up the card that explodes into higher value every time, but that risk is a part of trading in this way. There’s then two choices after sniping a player, (1) sell them right away for profit, or (2) hold onto them and hope their price increases further. If it goes up and you have 10 of these cards, you’re going to be in a really good position. Now, Jesus is a fairly cheap example, but for those with a bigger budget somebody like Ousmane Dembele or Marco Llorente might be a better fit. These cards are used by lots of players, even those who have top cards in their team, and that’s when you can see they’re part of the meta. What happens next? Be patient, because there’s a solid chance that your 5,000 Rodrigo won’t instantly resell. This is where the market comes into play. Card values are constantly fluctuating, so keep relisting and eventually, the market should go back up. If the market for the card does end up steadily dropping, you will need to drop the price by a bit, but don’t be too quick to do it. There’s actually a few iOS and Android applications that track market fluctuations, which could be good to download – like FUTAlert. This will ping you a notification when one of your tracked players has boomed in value, and even a slight increase after you have purchased 10-15 of the same card could see you make some handsome returns. FIFA 21 trading meta cards: Does this work? Most of the time, this method works well and people will buy the cards, especially if they have the right chemistry style and contracts. If worst comes to worst, you basically only lose the tax coins and sell back at the average value, but the risk is well worth the reward. Just to round off this FIFA 21 trading meta cards guide, it’s worth noting that this method of bulk buying meta cards and selling them as the Weekend League approaches will not work every time. Anybody telling you different is not being accurate, but what it does do is put you in a position of taking advantage if the meta cards do increase in value. Each time it happens, you can go ahead and invest in more expensive meta cards and that natural progression of trading to higher values will be possible. It does take time, though, so be patient.

How to transfer FIFA Points from FIFA 22 to FIFA 23 EA SPORTSThe FIFA 23 Ultimate Team season is finally underway, and fans have begun tearing open packs with their coins and FIFA Points. But if you had some FIFA Points lingering in your FIFA 22 account, you might be wondering how to transfer them to FIFA 23. After months of hype, fans can finally start building their dream squad in FIFA 23 Ultimate Team. Thousands, if not millions of packs have already been opened in pursuit of the game’s top-rated stars. If you’re struggling for coins early on, the temptation might be there to buy some FIFA Points and build up your profits. But before you bite the bullet and purchase more, make sure you’ve transferred any remaining FIFA Points from your FIFA 22 account into FIFA 23. We’ve explained exactly how to do this below. How to transfer FIFA Points to FIFA 23 Ultimate Team from FIFA 22 As soon as you load up to select a starter pack, a message will appear asking if you would like your previously purchased FIFA Points to be added to your FIFA 23 account. Simply confirm that you do and any leftover currency will be waiting for you to spend on the FUT Store. Moving any old FIFA Points from FIFA 22 over to FIFA 23 is relatively simple, and can be done on your first visit to FIFA 23 Ultimate Team. This can be done on the PlayStation, Xbox, or PC versions of FIFA 23, or on the FIFA 23 Web App which launched on September 21. However, the feature isn’t available on the FIFA 23 Companion App, so you’ll have to access FIFA 23 on either a console or PC to secure any old FIFA Points. It’s also worth noting that if don’t choose to carry over FIFA Points the first time you log in to FIFA 23 Ultimate Team, the option won’t be accessible again and the points will be lost. Unfortunately, only FIFA Points can be transferred from FIFA 22 to FIFA 23. Any unopened packs, cosmetic items, and consumables will be left in last year’s game. There you have it!

How to scout like Ajax in FIFA 21 Career Mode EA SPORTSWant to build a roster of guns in FIFA 21 Career Mode, but don’t have the players to do it yet? You’ll need to scout them out yourself. Thankfully, there’s a formula you can follow to make sure you build a winning squad — and it’s just as good as Ajax’s. If you’re learning the ropes of FIFA 21 Career Mode, it’s totally acceptable to look up stats sites to find out everything there is to know about each player. But often in Career Mode, the best players out there are the ones that don’t exist. The Youth Academy, Global Transfer Network, and scouting plays a major role in curating your perfect team. If you use these tools effectively, you can have a team of world beaters in no time flat, and you’ll be racking in the Manager of the Month rewards. It’s not rocket science either. If you just know what to look for, you can be able to replicate success in your own saves — without even having to boot up an external stats site to check you’re making the right moves. We’ve got a guide to exactly how, breaking down both the Youth Academy and the Global Transfer Network, so you can develop a system as good as Ajax’s. FIFA 21 Career Mode Youth Academy guide Youth academies work a bit differently in FIFA 21 to previous titles. There were a few set strategies to really farm up money and talent. However, you can throw most — but not all — of your previous knowledge out the window. If you’re entirely new to Career Mode, here’s what you need to know about Youth Academies. In FIFA 21, you are automatically assigned a scout, with different Experience and Judgment ratings based on the club you are playing. You can get up to three youth scouts. They will scour the globe, when you send them out, to find you the hottest prospects. You can then bring them back to your club, train them up, and promote them to your first team if you believe they are good enough. The biggest change for returning players is that first point — you automatically get a youth scout in FIFA 21. No waiting for a few days to pick one up, then sending them out; you can send them out on Day 1. There’s a few things to note with where, and what instructions you give your scout. The home country buff for scouts is gone. Also, it doesn’t really matter what nation you send them to, because in FIFA 21 all countries have around the same potential of finding your next star. As for instructions, the Goalkeeper farming strategy for easy money is gone. Because of the new training system, you can’t train up individual players as easily, before shipping them off and pocketing a hefty sum. However, the new training system does allow you to branch out and truly curate the perfect set of players. You can even train skill moves, weak foot, and work rate. That means if you find a 90+ potential prodigy with 1* skill moves and weak foot, it’s not the end of the world anymore. You’ll also want to hold your players in the youth academy for as long as possible. You no longer get to choose what contract conditions they get, so if you promote someone too early with a Crucial player contract, your options will be far more limited than if you kept them in the academy, as they could end up leaving without enough game time. If this is all a bit too wordy, here’s a few quick dot points you can follow to make sure your Youth Academy gets off on the right foot. Be sure to use your youth scouts. It’s an obvious tip, but they’re not worth it if they’re laying around. Send them on scouting missions, pick up better ones if you have the cash, and keep the process going. – If you scout a player with over 90 potential, pick them up immediately. If they have a peak potential of under 80, discard them immediately. Use your judgment for the rest. – Be sure to check a player’s value when you look into their stats. If they have a high value, that means they have a high overall rating right now. If it’s upwards of $400,000, you might want to consider picking them up, even if their potential is lower. – Send your scouts far and wide — there’s no real home country advantage in FIFA 21. – Specialize your players’ training to your needs. Young players are more flexible than their older counterparts. Use this to your advantage. If your youth players have low work rates, or poor skill moves and weak foot, be sure to prioritize training this to a decent level. – – Don’t sign your players up to the first squad too early. You can’t really control their team role (it’s based on rating relative to the rest of the team), so you don’t want to lose them if you promote them early. – FIFA 21 Career Mode Global Transfer Network guide Outside of the youth system is the Global Transfer Network (GTN). It might not seem as thrilling as high-rolling your own youth star, but it’s just as important in the scouting process. If you’ve never touched Career Mode before, the GTN allows you to set up scouts to look at a specific region, highlighting talent on other teams you should consider signing. You can set the parameters, and they’ll find what you need. It can be a bit overwhelming though. Once you have a few scouts with a few instructions, you can easily get dozens of players on your watch list. Don’t fret though, there’s a few ways to get around it. Read more: Secret FIFA 21 speed boost controls revealed – Being specific in your instructions is one of them. If you want a young player showing promise in a specific position, try and narrow the search down. While you’ll potentially miss some gems, if you are starting out in Career Mode, this is an easy way to make sure you don’t get overwhelmed. Just putting them on your shortlist isn’t enough either. If there’s a player you’ve really got your eyes on, it’ll be worth scouting them further. It’ll take upwards of a couple of weeks for some players, but you get a better picture of the kind of player they are. It can save you from signing a dud and letting the next star though. While you shouldn’t turn away from weaker regions with the GTN entirely, it’s a lot less efficient if you are sending them outside of the major nations. Because most talent ends up centralizing in Europe, or some of the South American countries, focus your efforts here with GTN scouting. Here’s some handy pointers you can follow if you are struggling to keep up. Much like with youth scouts, be sure to use your GTN scouts. They can find you the next best talent a team is willing to part ways with. The higher level your scout, the more players they find, and the quicker they can turn around full reports. – Don’t just blindly follow what the game tells you. Take the time to investigate a player’s full potential by scouting them further. – If the GTN is a bit overwhelming, focus on one region or one scout at a time. Make your instructions super-specific, and you’ll only find exactly what you are looking for. – As more regens come though, the GTN becomes even more important. Don’t always rely on the stat sites to pick players just because of their high potential. – That’s all there is to scouting in FIFA 21 Career Mode. If you want to build a squad of guns, it’ll take time. However, you can do it on a penny if you follow this method, and you’ll be able to ride the journey with your players too.

How to snipe players in FIFA 21 Ultimate Team EA SportsOver the years, ‘sniping’ has grown to be an excellent method of acquiring players for below their usual BIN price. Here’s everything you need to know to master it in FIFA 21 Ultimate Team. The community dislike of Ultimate Team price ranges still hasn’t died away completely but, as you’d expect, FIFA’s fan base has figured out how trading can still be performed in the market’s conditions. Acquiring players just before they enter a Team of the Week is as reliable as ever, but picking up true bargains has become more difficult as price ranges seek to inhibit the coin buying/selling trade. FIFA 21 sniping guide One way around this is ‘sniping’ – the act of intentionally searching below a player’s typical buy it now (BIN) price, and then acting quickly to finalize the purchase. Here, we’re going to break down how to do it, and how it can benefit you and your Ultimate Team bank. Step One: Pick your player and work out his usual price First off, you need to pick the player you want. This can be for trading, or for use in your team. You won’t want to pick a player too expensive and rare, as there simply won’t be the quantity of that player on the market. Players will also be more careful to get their money’s worth when listing a better, rarer player. We’ve gone for Raphinha of Leeds United. Step Two: Lower your price As you can see, there are hundreds of cards available for 2,700 coins. We know off the bat, then, that this is too high. We’d recommend dropping the price search by about 10%, which in this case will take our searches down to about 2,400 coins. Step Three: Buy it now For this price, there are just a couple of options, both at the very beginning of their one hour on the market. These will sell very rapidly, so it’s up to you to act fast and ‘buy it now’. Internet will probably matter in this scenario, so if your console or PC is pretty slow, the web app might offer you more luck. In terms of actually pushing the buttons quickly to buy the player, practice makes perfect. You’ll need to select the player, move down to Buy Now, then move up to ‘Yes’. The best way to do it is to practice. However, we should stress that it’s not this simple. A lot of the time, searching below a player’s BIN price, you’ll be met with the message tell you there are no players available at that price. Unfortunately, you cannot just spam the search button and be taken to the players available as they are listed – you have to alternate between a couple of prices. In this Raphinha example, you’ll probably need to alternate between about 2,300 and 2,400 coins. We even found one for 2,100 coins – 600 coins below the value we know he can sell for. Consider this… If you’re sniping to trade, remember EA’s 5% tax. Buying a player at 2,900 coins and selling them for 3,000 is pointless, as you’ll only get 2,850 coins for the sale. This is why we recommend going about 10% below their standard BIN price, or lower. Next, sniping is difficult with more valuable players. There are fewer of them, and players will be more cautious when listing a highly valuable player. That doesn’t mean it’s impossible, it’ll just require more patience. Finally, remember players’ values change. Buying a Raphinha today for 2,400 coins might be a good deal, but tomorrow he could only be worth 2,200 coins. Be intelligent and work quickly. Once you master sniping, it can be a seriously useful way of saving coins. Be realistic though, as price ranges means the days of finding a 100k player for 10k are long behind us.

How to score the perfect free kick in FIFA 20 EA SPORTS freshened up the set-piece mechanics for FIFA 20, and while it always takes some time to get used to something new, there’s nothing stopping you from producing the perfect free kick by following these simple tips. In previous FIFA games, including FIFA 19, you had to push the analog stick up or create a circular motion to add curve. On the other hand, in FIFA 20 delivering successful set-pieces depends on precise movement of both sticks, and that can be a tricky technique to perfect. You could go down the route of practice makes perfect without any guidance at all, but these top tips we have assembled will have you smashing incredible efforts into the back of the net. Ok, your first 10 strikes might go right down the goalkeeper’s throat or, even worse, high into the stands – but whether you’re looking to shoot for the top corner with placement, power, curve, or perhaps even under the wall, these tips should help you out along the way. Basic FIFA 20 free-kick controls Before we jump right into the more complex options available to you in FIFA 20, let’s talk about the basic free-kick controls. These can be trained and developed progressively in the Practice Arena, available in the main menu. To take a standard, dipping free kick, simply move your player into one of several standing positions using the right analog stick. These options include the default, side angle, and finally the straight run – which we’ll show you in an image later. The left analog stick controls the position of where the ball will be struck and this has a number of effects. Once you shoot at the circle you have selected, you can move the left stick towards the goal to angle the ball to the intended corner of the goal. Ball movement There are now four ball movement tools for you to experiment with and they all have their own pros and cons. These include: top spin, side spin, mixed and knuckle ball shooting styles. Each of these ball movement tools are going to be more useful in certain situations, so it’s best to test them out a little bit from different ranges and find your feet. It’s worth noting that the quicker you move the right stick will affect the amount of ball spin you generate as well. TIP: No matter which you choose, there’s the option of using timed finishing to make the strike more precise, just like you can in open play. To do this, simply shoot and then press the shoot button again just as the player makes contact with the ball. Choose your strategy If you have been given a free kick between the 25-30 yards mark, you’re going to want to dip the strike right over the wall, but have it come back down really fast. Here, it’s best to opt for top spin and have the target positioned just over the crossbar. In order to pull this off, you want to generate power of about two bars (slightly higher than two bars also works), but as soon as the player starts the animation to take it, sharply lift the left analog upwards and downwards quickly to create the top spin effect you’re looking for. This will allow the ball to lift and drop to evade the wall. Side Spin, Mixed Curve and Knuckle Ball Moving away from top spin, side spin can be successful from the same range if the player is right footed and striking towards the right corner. Obviously this works the same for a left footer striking the left corner, allowing the ball to bend around the wall. All you have to do is position the play in default or middle standing position, and rotate the right analog from the bottom, rolling towards the corner you’re shooting at, until it comes up to the top. Do this sharply for the best effect, creating a semi-circle motion. This will create the side spin. Mixed curve can be performed by dragging the analog from top to bottom in a similar way to side spin, but curving upwards between the middle and the corner you’re aiming at. This will vary the whip on the ball and won’t be as pure a whip than that of the side spin. TIP: The faster the right stick moves for any of these instructions, the more curve the ball will have when it takes flight. If you’re looking to do a Knuckle Ball free kick, just know that this is one of the most difficult to master. You’re going to need more power – around three bars or just over – and aim towards the corner of the wall. Stand in default position or in the middle. The motion with your right analog stick this time will be up, down and then back up again. The quicker you do this, the better. If you’re slow, the game might mistake it for another style of shot. TIP: Any of these spin techniques can be used to pull off low driven free kicks. Simply aim the target at the players’ legs in the wall and the strike will automatically be set to go underneath the wall. One or two bars of power usually works well. So, there you have it! We’ve been through the best ways to score free kicks and if you’re struggling to get off the mark from set pieces, this should definitely help. For the perfect free kick to be scored in FIFA 20, you’re going to have to gauge which of these stances will work best for you at any given time. Master one and you will be dangerous, but master them all and there will be no stopping you from dead ball situations – especially with a strong set-piece taker in your ranks. There are a number of other useful tutorials available online for those who would like to step up a gear even further, testing out trick shot free kicks and Trivelas, but these basics should give yourself decent foundation skills in order to improve your gameplay pretty quickly. Good luck and we hope to see you celebrating many more free kick goals in the future!

How to score a bicycle kick in FIFA 23 EA SPORTSFIFA 23 gives players the chance to score a wide variety of different goals, but none are quite as impressive as a bicycle kick. Whether you’re completing a challenge, or just want to show off, here’s how to score a bicycle kick in FIFA 23. The sheer variety of skills and techniques on offer in FIFA 23 gives football fans plenty of options when looking to break down a team. To hit the higher ranks in Division Rivals and FUT Champions, players will need to master everything from skill moves to the new power shots. One of the most difficult but eye-catching shots to perfect is the bicycle kick, which sees players fling themselves into the air and strike the ball over their heads like Wayne Rooney in his prime. If you’re wondering how to perform a bicycle kick in FIFA 23, we’ve got a simple explanation below. How to perform a bicycle kick in FIFA 23 The actual input for a FIFA 23 bicycle kick is relatively straightforward, all you have to do is hold L2/LT and shoot when the ball is in the air. However, you’ll soon realize that hitting the back of the net with one is an entirely different story. Bicycle kicks fall under the flair shot category, so it’s key to make sure that you’re attempting the shot with a high-skilled attacker. Anyone on your team with the ‘flair’ trait will be able to generate much more accuracy when performing an overhead kick, so be sure to dig into each player’s stats and find out who is the most capable. It’s crucial to make sure that the ball is in the right position for a bicycle kick. While it’s easy to connect with one whenever the ball is in the air, there’s a good chance it’ll go flying into row Z if the situation isn’t right. The ideal time to try an overhead kick in FIFA 23 is when the ball is slightly behind the player in the air, preferably from a gentle through ball rather than whipped cross into the box. Of course, it’s still possible to score straight from a cross or corner, but it’s more likely to balloon over the bar nine times out of 10.

How to score penalties in FIFA 23: Changes explained EA SportsPenalty shootouts create palm-sweat-inducing moments in FIFA. Here is a guide to making penalty shots less stressful in FIFA 23. EA SPORTS revealed an extensive list of FIFA 23’s new additions and changes on July 27. Some of the most exciting additions include new skill moves, a reworked free-kick system, and a new shooting mechanic. Set pieces needed a rework and EA delivered wide-sweeping changes. Free-kicks no longer have an aiming reticle. Instead, the process was simplified and only required players to adjust a line that shows the initial ball flight. The same applies to corner kicks. The game’s community welcomes corner kick and free kick changes with open arms, but penalty kicks are the true difference maker. Here’s how you can take the perfect FIFA 23 penalty kick. Knowing what’s different this year is the perfect starting point to taking a perfect pen. What’s different with penalties in FIFA 23? Nothing is more frustrating than losing a crucial Weekend League game in a penalty shootout. Like in real life, penalty shots in FIFA require skill and a little luck on your side. EA leans away from luck and rewards players in FIFA 23 for successful penalty kicks. The developers stated in the July 27 Pitch Notes, “we want to make penalties feel more rewarding than before with the player’s composure being a big focus.” FIFA 23: How to aim the perfect penalty shot Use the Composure Ring When players take a penalty shot in FIFA 23, a new composure ring appears based on the player’s composure rating. It’s recommended to shoot when the ring is at its smallest to have the most accuracy and power. Players with high composure ratings have a larger perfect timing window, and the ring shrinks slower. Take advantage of the new aim Players aim their shot with the left stick as in previous FIFA installments. However, there is no longer a reticle. Instead, the game sets your aim within the net, about three feet from the posts, which should make it harder to shoot wide. You no longer need to break your thumbs trying to hold a penalty shot in the top corner. Instead of recentering, the aim stays where you want, emphasizing the players’ power and timing. Players can no longer time-finish penalties, removing the need for a second button press. EA also confirmed that you could not aim directly at the edges of the posts. Instead, a player’s penalty attribute impacts the quality of shot placement, and the shot power attribute affects the power and how far to the sides of the goal a shot reaches. Time will tell if these changes are a step in the right direction or a slight misfire over the bar.

FIFA 22 players have had mixed opinions about the game since it released on October 1st.

However, one of its biggest improvements has been a streamlined approach to the beloved FUT Champions mode. It is one of three competitive modes in Ultimate Team, along with Squad Battles and Division Rivals. But unlike the other modes, it’s considered to be where the cream of the crop is at. After all, you can only qualify for it by accumulating enough points in Division Rivals. Here’s everything you need to know. Updated December 30, 2021.

It follows a ladder system where you can move up and down based on your results. You will begin in Division 10 and will need to work your way through that and all other divisions throughout the season. Winning matches is one thing. However, winning multiple matches in quick succession is the key to climbing faster. At the same time, draws and losses will cause you to plateau and even drop. Fortunately, there are a number of checkpoints that prevent you from moving down after you reach a certain point. Still, you’ll need to win to climb. Each match awards with a handful of CQP, but, naturally, winning is the quickest way to earn them. When you reach the required number of CQP to enter the Play-Offs, you will be entered into it automatically.

How to recognize FIFA 21 pack animations for walkouts, in-forms & ICONs Graphics: EA SPORTSRipping through packs in FIFA 21 Ultimate Team and want to know what you’re going to get beforehand? Well, there are specific animations that you need to look for, and we’ve laid them out. [jwplayer S0RLWo1s] Each year, FIFA fans rush to Ultimate Team and open packs so that they can get a leg up on the competition once things start to settle down. Players will invest serious amounts of money in order to get the players they want, and will rip through packs like no one’s business. While the packs offer a surprise, given that you don’t know exactly what’s coming, there is a way to spoil things just a little if you don’t want that level of suspense. FIFA 21 pack animations If you haven’t opened a pack yet, yes, the animations from previous FIFA’s are back but they’ve been given a little bit of a change for FIFA 21. They can be difficult to recognize at first, given that there is so much going on, but YouTuber DannyAaronsFUT has pointed out the simple tip-offs that you need to look at to tell the difference between a non-rare, rare, board, and walkout. FIFA 21 rare player pack animation When it comes to spotting the difference between a non-rare and a rare, the YouTuber points out that the key lies in the corner of the image that shows on the door. If it doesn’t glow before the door opens, you’re in for a non-rare and the animation will end quickly. On the flip side, if it does glow, you’ll be getting a rare player. FIFA 21 walkout animation As for walkouts, boards, and everything else, it does get a little tricky. You’ll get the typical flag, position, and club flashing up on screen before the reveal, but there are other things to look out for. For a non-board, there will be a small light at the end of the tunnel on the floor. In terms of a board player, the whole tunnel will be dark and just smoke. As for getting a walkout, the door holds the key. Danny notes that you need to look to the left-hand side of the door. If one light doesn’t show, like the image below, you’re in for a walkout. As the year of FIFA 21 unfolds, these animations will change ever so slightly to accommodate different promos, so we’ll be sure to keep this updated. You can find all the latest news, leaks, and updates over on our Twitter accounts – UltimateTeamUK and FUTWatch.

How to preload FIFA 21 on Xbox Series X/S and PS5 EA SPORTS / Xbox / PlayStationWhile FIFA 21 has been out for some time now, players will have to wait a little longer to upgrade their copy of the game to the next-gen version, but there’s a way to preload it to play as soon as it’s available on Xbox Series X and PlayStation5. If you’ve been keeping up at all with what’s happening to FIFA with the switch to next-generation consoles, you’ll know that the game officially launches on the Series X and PS5, with all the necessary upgrades, on December 4. If you’re upgrading your console within the same family — e.g. from PS4 to PS5 — you’ll be eligible for a free upgrade thanks to EA’s Dual Entitlement, as soon as the game officially drops. But, you will be able to preload the game beforehand, meaning you won’t have to wait any longer than necessary and can get the ball rolling as soon as possible on December 4. Here’s how. How to preload FIFA 21 on Xbox Series X/S While you don’t necessarily have to upgrade thanks to Xbox’s backwards compatibility, there’s little reason not to. With the Xbox officially launching, players are getting stuck into the action, but you can actually preload the next-gen FIFA 21 update ahead of time. All you’ve got to do is follow these steps: Turn on the Xbox Series X/S console. – Click the Xbox button on the controller. – Head over to My Games and Apps. – Click Full Library, then All Owned Games. – Download FIFA 21 Xbox Series X|S from there. – How to preload FIFA 21 on PS5 With the PlayStation 5 not yet out at the time of writing, it’s not exactly clear how preloading games will work on the new console. That said, we can guess based on the PS4 interface, and how it works on Xbox, that you’ll need to sign in to your account on the PS5 and head over to your games library, with the ability to preload the game ahead of time from there. With the PS5 launching on November 12 in the United States, that’s when we’ll know for sure how you can preload the game. What about physical copies of FIFA 21? The situation is a little trickier if you’ve purchased a physical copy of FIFA 21, as opposed to a digital edition. To upgrade your physical disc copy of the game, you will have to visit ea.help.com and provide the support helper with your EA account information. This should, hopefully, be a seamless transition. For now, we’ll just have to settle playing the Xbox One or PS4 version of FIFA — but there’s really not long left now.

How to juggle in FIFA 23: Kick-ups skill move explained EA SPORTSThere are plenty of showy skill moves to pull off in FIFA 23, but none are better for humiliating your opponent than juggling the ball and performing kick-ups. If you’re wondering to pull off this simple skill, here’s how to juggle in FIFA 23. FIFA 23 has a number of key features to master if players are going to be successful in Division Rivals and FUT Champions, from the outside-foot Trivela shots to the new net-busting Power Shot. There are also dozens of skill moves to learn, especially if you want to challenge at the very top of the Ultimate Team meta. Some, however, are included purely to add a little flair to your game and show dominance over the opposition. One of these is the ability to perform kick-ups mid-match, juggling the ball in the air while waiting for a tackle to fly in. If you’re determined to humiliate the other team as well as beat them, here’s how to juggle in FIFA 23. How to do kick-ups in FIFA 23 Juggling in FIFA 23 is relatively straightforward once you know the controls, all you have to do is hold down L2/LT and tap R1/RB repeatedly. The player in possession of the ball will keep knocking it into the air for as long R1/RB is being pressed, not letting it touch the ground. It’s worth keeping in mind that kick-ups can only be performed in FIFA 23 when the player isn’t moving, so you’ll have to stop the ball dead before flicking it up and juggling. While it is the ideal way to show off when you’re 3-0 up, juggling can also be an easy way to line up goals for yourself. Moving the right stick in any direction will end the kick-ups with a big flick into the air, setting you up perfectly for a volley. The same control can also be used to subtly loft the ball over the head of any player who dares to come and tackle you. Just make sure you have plenty of time and space before performing the skill to avoid an embarrassing situation.

How to increase Sharpness on FIFA 21 Career Mode EA SPORTSSharpness is arguably the most important stat when it comes to player development in FIFA 21 Career Mode, and naturally, that means you’ll want to increase on certain players it as soon as possible. Here’s a step-by-step guide to make it easier. FIFA 21’s Career Mode has been a massive step forward compared to its predecessors. It introduced a wealth of new features, including a much-needed overhaul to the player development system. But while many new additions impact a player’s growth and development, it’s hard to find one more important than sharpness. It arguably has the most significant impact on their stats. The more you increase it, the higher their stats will become. It sounds simple enough, right? Well, if you want to learn how to get the best out of it, we’ve got you covered. How to increase Sharpness on FIFA 21 Career Mode A player’s sharpness will often increase simply from playing in matches. However, it’s much faster to increase it using various training and drills. Fortunately, the process is straightforward. Step 1: Complete Training Drills First, select the player or players you want to increase sharpness on and add them to a drill. The drill can be simulated or done manually. However, it’s a good idea to do it manually first since your highest score will become the default result in future simulations. Step 2: Do them manually until you get a high score, then simulate the rest The ideal second step is to do the drills manually and try to score the highest possible result, which is an A. If you do manage to score an A manually, then every subsequent simulation will be the same. Step 3: Rinse and repeat Naturally, that means you’ll be able to improve sharpness at an accelerated rate. So, the third step is to rinse and repeat the process. Just be careful not to spam it too much before a game unless you’re not planning on including them in the squad since the drills will lower their fitness. Step 4: Play Matches Last but not least, while playing in matches is less effective than drills at increasing sharpness, it’s still a viable option and a fun way to give them an extra boost. And that’s all there is to it. It’s a simple process that becomes even easier after achieving a high score in the drills manually. However, it’s also very effective in the long run and arguably the best way to speed up a player’s development. Once you’ve got all the steps down pat, you’ll be well and truly on your way to becoming a successful Career Mode manager in FIFA 21.

How to get loyalty in FIFA 21 Ultimate Team Graphics: EA SPORTSLoyalty makes its return in FIFA 21 Ultimate Team, meaning you can get slight chemistry boosts from loyal players. So, here’s everything you need to know. Building the perfect Ultimate Team lineup can be a bit of a headache in FIFA, unless you’ve taken the time needed beforehand to put plans in place. On top of needing players, you also need to decide on the best formation for your style of play, and pick out the best custom tactics. These choices can be in line with the game’s ever-evolving meta, or just how you feel comfortable playing the game. You also need chemistry. This will make your squad feel and play like a team that have been together for a few seasons rather than just cobbled together overnight. And that’s where loyalty comes into play. How loyalty works in FIFA 21 Having loyal players means that your team chemistry will receive a slight boost, but you still need players to be in the right position and have links to fellow teammates or countrymen. Getting loyalty, though, couldn’t be simpler and you have two options. First off, you can just pack a player. By having a first owner card, you won’t have to go through the method needed for the second way to get loyalty. That second way is through playing games with the card, or cards, in your lineup. After playing ten games with a new card, that player will become loyal to your club and receive a slight chemistry boost. Play games to get loyalty in FIFA 21 Buy a player off the market – Add them to your lineup – Play 10 games with them in the team – The player will then receive a loyalty boost to their chemistry – In FIFA 21, Xbox players have already found a way to leave Squad Battles without receiving a loss but while still picking up the chemistry boost.
