FIFA 23 will include women’s club football and World Cup for first time EA SPORTSFIFA 23 has received its first official trailer, and it’s crammed full of new features to unpack. One of the most exciting is the reveal that FIFA 23 will feature domestic women’s leagues for the first time. After weeks upon weeks of leaks and rumors, FIFA 23 has been officially revealed as EA prepares up to give the series a fitting sendoff before being rebranded as EA SPORTS FC. The first trailer hinted at plenty of interesting gameplay changes and new technology to make FIFA 23 the most immersive football game yet. However, there’s one exciting new addition that will have caught players’ eyes. EA has committed to making FIFA 23 the most inclusive football title so far, as seen by the welcome inclusion of Sam Kerr on the Ultimate Edition cover. For the first time in the series’ history, fans will be now able to play as iconic club teams from the world of women’s football and play in the Women’s World Cup. Women’s club football and World Cup coming to FIFA 23 Women’s football was first added to the FIFA games all the way back in FIFA 16 when international sides were made playable in Kick-Off with fully licensed names, kits, and badges. Unfortunately, in the years since, the women’s side of the sport hasn’t received much attention. In FIFA 23, that is all about to change, as England’s Barclays Women’s Super League and France’s Division 1 Arkema are joining the roster of club teams. This means top women’s teams like Chelsea, Manchester City, and Lyon will feature, along with their home stadiums and face scans. Altogether, this means a further 24 women’s clubs will make up the more than 700 teams featured in FIFA 23, as EA strives to make this their most inclusive game to date. Check out a full breakdown of every team below: Barclays Women’s Super League: Arsenal – Aston Villa – Brighton & Hove Albion – Chelsea – Everton – Leicester City – Liverpool – Manchester City – Manchester United – Reading – Spurs – West Ham United – – Division 1 Arkema:Bordeaux – Dijon – Fleury – Guingamp – Le Havre – Lyon – Montpellier – Paris FC – PSG – Reims – Rodez – Soyaux – – We’ll have to wait and see how these new clubs are implemented. Women’s football so far has been limited to Kick-Off matches, but with more teams than ever to choose from, a Women’s Career Mode might not be out of the question. The reveal trailer also confirmed that the 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup in Australia and New Zealand will be coming to FIFA 23 later alongside the men’s tournament. World Cup mode has been incredibly popular whenever it’s shown up, so the chance to play through both will no doubt delight fans. All in all, it’s great to see the rise in popularity of women’s acknowledged in FIFA 23, and hopefully, it’s the beginning of more to come in EA SPORTS FC 24 and beyond.

FIFA 23 update 6 patch notes: Massive stamina & free-kick changes in Ultimate Team Graphics: EA SPORTSEA SPORTS have revealed the patch notes for FIFA 23 update 6, which makes huge changes to stamina and brings quick free-kicks back to the fold. FIFA 23 has undergone quite a few changes over the last few months, with EA constantly tuning gameplay and adding new content to modes like Ultimate Team and VOLTA. The most recent big change saw the arrival of the World Cup mode, and while the annual tournament has come to an end, you can still try and claim glory for your nation in the specific mode. Now, EA have readied their next big change in the form of Update 6, with the new patch tackling stamina in Ultimate Team for those who use Constant Pressure tactics, as well as bringing back quick free-kicks. FIFA 23 Constant Pressure tactics tweaked That’s right, if you’re one of those FUT players that likes to get in your opponent’s face by using Constant Pressure tactics, you’re going to see a change in the stamina of your players. In their sixth update, EA have confirmed that changed the “Stamina Decay by 11.7% for Constant Pressure, Press After Possession Loss, and Press On Heavy Touch Defensive Custom Tactics.” This means that using these tactics should, in theory, be able to get in the opposition’s face more often as players won’t lose stamina as fast as they previously did. FIFA 23 quick-free kicks returns The other big change, as we’ve noted, comes to quick free-kicks. In some instances, players had lost the ability to lose a quick free-kick to get an advantage over opponents that had overcommitted.

FIFA 23 Update 4 patch notes: Major nerf for Trivela shot confirmed EA SPORTSFIFA 23’s Update 4 has dropped in game, finally addressing outside-of-the-foot shots, passing accuracy and FUT Champions UI changes, among others. Here are the full patch notes for the November 16 update. If you blinked, you might have missed all of the FIFA 23 content currently available in Ultimate Team. EA has shaken up how FUT Champs rewards work, the Team of the Week schedule, and introduced a load of new Swaps to celebrate the 2022 World Cup. On top of that, new Path to Glory cards have been revealed alongside a set of World Cup FUT Heroes. The developers have not backed down from making massive gameplay changes as well.

Players with the Outside Foot Shot Trait received a nerf by up to 10%. Another significant change coming is an improvement to Semi Assisted through passes. EA stated, “Semi Assisted through are now less likely to be underpowered and less likely to go to the defender’s feet.” Up until now, players have only been able to see their rank in FUT Champions and Play-Offs, but Update 4 introduces a win-loss counter in the FUT Champions hub.

FIFA 23 Ultimate Team players baffled as Antony and Rafael Leao made bald by EA update EAFIFA 23 fans have been left puzzled, as the latest EA Sports update makes both Antony and Rafael Leao bald in Ultimate Team matches. FIFA 23 was absolutely packed with a ton of new face scans for our favorite players — allowing EA to show off the new and improved graphics with years’ title. Notably, many world-class players, managers and youngsters on the come up from around the world have had their face digitally scanned. And as time progresses, it’s expected that more faces will be uploaded with each update. However, the most recent patch from EA left players puzzled, as instead of new faces, both Antony and Rafael Leao are now bald and appear completely hairless. Antony and Rafael Leao bald in FIFA 23 Following the recent title update, FIFA fans began noting the brand-new look for some players in FUT. In a Reddit thread on October 16, one fan shared a screenshot of the Manchester United star being hairless in-game. “Was disappointed Antony didn’t get a face scan but now he’s looking like this?” they wrote. According to others, this means that he’s likely to get an updated face scan in the near future. “It’s a placeholder for the actual face scan. Means he will have the real face within a week or so,” said one. “The stress of being at United got to him quickly,” a player joked. Antony isn’t the only one either, with others claiming that Lisandro Martinez as well as AC Milan’s Rafael Leao are also bald in-game now too. “I legit thought I was playing Lukaku when I first saw Leao.” Hopefully, we’ll see the bald players look a bit more like themselves with a new face scan in an update soon.

FIFA 23 Ultimate Team position changes explained: Secondary positions & consumables EA SPORTSFIFA 23 Ultimate Team has completely revamped how position changes work, opening up the door for more diverse and interesting FUT teams going forward. Here’s everything you need to know about position changes in FIFA 23 Ultimate Team. FIFA 23 is finally here, and it being the final game before EA SPORTS FC takes over, expectations are higher than ever as the iconic series looks to go out with a bang. There are a host of major gameplay changes, as well as updates to both Career Mode and Pro Clubs, but Ultimate Team is once again the major draw. On top of crossplay support and a new shared market, FIFA 23 Ultimate Team has fundamentally changed how position changes work. Here’s everything you need to know about FUT 23 position changes, from secondary positions to consumables. FIFA 23 Ultimate Team secondary positions – FIFA 23 Ultimate Team position modifier consumable – FIFA 23 Ultimate Team best position changes – FIFA 23 Ultimate Team secondary positions FIFA 23 Ultimate Team has completely scrapped the old positioning system, opting instead for a new setup in the name of giving FUT fans more options when building their teams. Switching positions will no longer depend on their starting role, and will be more unique to each individual star. This is vastly different from FIFA 22 and prior titles, where all strikers could be moved back to CM with enough position modifiers, and all full-backs could only shift to wing backs on their respective flanks. Aside from the position that is listed on their card, some players will be awarded secondary positions that they can switch to. These will be based on roles that they have taken up in real-life, for example, Kylian Mbappe can switch from a striker to the left wing, while Joao Cancelo can switch from left-back to right-back. Versatile players can also have more than one secondary position. This means that you’ll see players starting on different wings, and midfielders moving into defense more frequently, freeing up countless possibilities for squad builds. FIFA 23 Ultimate Team position modifier consumable FIFA 23 Ultimate Team is also bringing in a brand-new consumable to allow players to switch positions. The specific modifiers such as CAM to CF or LM to LW are gone, in favor of a single item. These special consumables can be earned by opening packs or bought from the transfer market as they were before, but they can be used on any player. Applying the modifier lets FUT managers choose which of the secondary positions they want their players to move to, rather than having to gradually move them forwards or backward. FIFA 23 Ultimate Team best position changes This new approach to position changes opens plenty of doors for squad building, and some of the game’s top players have interesting second positions that could transform your team. Now that FIFA 23 is out in the wild, we’ve picked some of the best secondary positions that you should consider making use of: Phil Foden (CAM) – Sadio Mane (CF) – Kylian Mbappe (LW) – Alphonso Davies (LM) – Raheem Sterling (RW) – Arnaut Danjuma (ST) – Marcus Rashford (ST) – Joe Gomez (RB) – Joao Cancelo (RB) – Wilfred Zaha (CF) – Timo Werner (LW) – Renato Sanches (RM) – Christopher Nkunku (CAM) – For more on FIFA 23, check out our other guides: FIFA 23 Bundesliga rating | FIFA 23 La Liga rating | FIFA 23 Premier League | FIFA 23 FUT Heroes | FIFA 23 crossplay explained | Best FIFA 23 custom tactics, meta formations & player instructions | FIFA 23 TOTW squads: Team of the Week explained | How to do the best FIFA 23 celebrations | Best FIFA 23 camera settings for Ultimate Team | How to play co-op in FIFA 23 Ultimate Team | How to get FIFA 23 FUT Draft Tokens | FIFA 23 FUT Draft rewards & Online and Single Player explained | How to play as Ted Lasso & AFC Richmond in FIFA 23 | FIFA 23 FUT Champs Play-Offs & Finals rewards, ranks & tips

FIFA 23 Ultimate Team new features: FUT Moments, Chemistry changes, stadium customization EA SPORTSFIFA 23 Ultimate Team is shaking up the franchise’s most popular mode with a number of key changes, including a reworked Chemistry system. Here’s everything new in FIFA 23 Ultimate Team. As the last entry in the series before its rebranded, football fans have lofty expectations that FIFA 23 will deliver on all fronts. Crossplay is finally being implemented from day one, and both Career Mode and Pro Clubs are receiving substantial new additions. Now, all eyes are on Ultimate Team, as EA have announced all of the fresh features and additions they can expect in the game’s most lucrative mode. We’ve broken down everything new in FIFA 23 Ultimate Team right here. Contents FIFA 23 Ultimate Team: New Chemistry system – FIFA 23 Ultimate Team: FUT Moments – FIFA 23 Ultimate Team: Stadium customization – FIFA 23 Ultimate Team: New Chemistry system Arguably the marquee change in FIFA 23 Ultimate Team is the introduction of a new Chemistry system, scrapping the links that we’ve seen in the mode for over a decade. Instead, players in the starting 11 can earn Chem from any teammate, regardless of where they are on the pitch. This means that having a goalkeeper and striker who both play for the same team will boost their respective Chemistry ratings, even though they are at opposite ends of the formation. Players and squads will now be awarded a star rating out of three, instead of the usual number out of 10 the 100. Heroes and Icons still provide huge advantages, counting as the equivalent of two players from their league or nation respectively. Chemistry will boost stats as it always has, but there is no longer any penalty for not linking players together, so the attributes listed on the card are the absolute minimum that can be achieved. All-in-all, this should make building teams more flexible than ever before. FIFA 23 Ultimate Team: FUT Moments Those looking to play FUT in single player and still earn rewards will now have a new alternative to Squad Battles thanks to FUT Moments. This fresh addition to the Ultimate Team catalog presents fans with a number of short scenarios, broken up into campaigns focused on a well-known player, team, or tournament. Each one requires FUT users to complete in-game challenges, ranging from coming from behind to win a game or scoring a specific type of goal to recreate a classic moment. Completing these objectives earns stars which can be exchanged in the Star Gallery for packs, players, and loan items. FUT Moments will be its own live service away from the wider Ultimate Team seasons, meaning rewards will refresh at different times. Stars can even be saved up throughout the year if you want to wait for more valuable prizes. There will be a handful of FUT Moments campaigns at launch, with more set to drop over the course of FIFA 23’s lifespan. FIFA 23 Ultimate Team: Stadium customization This year’s FUT is also bringing a plethora of new stadium customization options to help bring even more personality to FUT matches. Home grounds can now be kitted out with animated tifos, banners, and trophies earned through objectives and season progress. Stadiums can also be applied with themes that change the color of the lighting around the pitch, bringing an extra level of individuality to every home and away match. That was everything we know about this year’s Ultimate Team so far.

Contents Ultimate Edition vs Standard Edition cover stars – FIFA 23 Ultimate Edition vs Standard Edition release dates – FIFA 23 Ultimate Edition vs Standard Edition prices – FIFA 23 Ultimate Edition vs Standard Edition pre-order bonuses – FIFA 23 Ultimate Edition vs Standard Edition cover stars Ultimate Edition The cover stars for FIFA 23 Ultimate Edition are PSG striker Kylian Mbappe from the men’s game and Chelsea star Sam Kerr from the women’s game. This marks Mbappe’s third appearance on the cover, after first replacing Virgil Van Dijk and Eden Hazard on FIFA 21. Sam Kerr’s inclusion is extremely significant, as the Australian is the first woman ever to appear on the FIFA box art. Standard Edition FIFA 23 Standard Edition features Kylian Mbappe as the lone cover star in all regions except for Australia. Here, Sam Kerr will be the sole player on the cover, unsurprising as she is the country’s all-time leading goalscorer in international football. EA are clearly trying to make FIFA 23 a more inclusive game, and it’s a nice step forward to see women’s football in the spotlight. Ultimate Edition vs Standard Edition release dates Although we’ve had our first peek at both FIFA 23 covers, the actual release dates haven’t been confirmed. That being said, the football franchise tends to drop at a similar time every year, so we can get a pretty good idea of the dates by looking at past releases. We’d expect to see the FIFA 23 Standard Edition hit shelves on Friday, September 30, 2022. Whereas the Ultimate edition will most likely release on Tuesday, September 27. The Ultimate Edition rewards those who have splashed the extra cash with three days of early access, allowing them to get a valuable head start on crafting their FIFA 23 Ultimate Team. Ultimate Edition vs Standard Edition prices The cost of FIFA 23 is yet to be announced, but these are our best estimates based on previous years: FIFA 23 Standard Edition: £59.99 / $59.99 – FIFA 23 Ultimate Edition: £89.99 / $99.99 – Ultimate Edition vs Standard Edition pre-order bonuses Once again, we’re still waiting for EA to unveil the full slate of FIFA 23 pre-order bonuses, but leaks have hinted that players who pre-order their copy of FIFA 23 Ultimate edition will receive: Three days of early access (From September 27) – One untradeable FIFA World Cup FUT Heroes player (if preordered before August 21) – 4600 FIFA Points – One TOTW1 player – FUT Ambassador Loan Player Pick – As you’d expect, the Standard Edition doesn’t come with as many extras, but EA still usually likes to reward those who secure their copy in advance with some additional content. Based on past years, we’d expect to receive: One TOTW1 player – FUT Ambassador Loan Player Pick – We’ll be sure to update this page with the latest details on FIFA 23 Ultimate Edition and Standard Edition as soon as they are released.

How FIFA 23 chemistry works in Ultimate Team: Changes explained from FIFA 22 EA SPORTSFIFA 23 Ultimate Team has reveamped how Chemistry works in one of the biggest changes to a core FUT feature we’ve seen to date. Here’s how FIFA 23 Chemistry functions compared to FIFA 22, so you can complete SBCs with ease. FIFA 23 has rolled out changes to nearly all of its major modes. Career Mode has been overhauled and players can now take control of authentic managers, while Pro Clubs is introducing skill games to make leveling up easier. There’s a boatload of new animations too, thanks to HyperMotion 2, but it’s FUT that will no doubt take center stage for most players. The formula for EA’s lucrative mode has stayed pretty much the same for many years, but FIFA 23 has a new Chemistry system that will completely change how squads are built. Here’s how Chemistry works in FIFA 23 Ultimate Team and how Heroes and Icons play their part. Contents FIFA 23 Chemistry explained FIFA 23 does away with the links system seen in previous years where players could only get Chemistry from those close to them within a specific formation. Going forward, all players in the starting 11 can boost each other if they are from the same league or nation. Chemistry will also no longer be shown by a number out of 100 for the overall squad or 10 for an individual player. Instead, FIFA 23 will hand players a star rating out of three, based on the number of players in the rest of the team that share the same links. For example, last year a lone striker might only link to the wingers and one midfielder, while in FIFA 23, having Mbappe and Donnarumma in the same 11 would increase both of their Chemistry ratings. This offers FUT fans more flexibility when building their teams, as they don’t have to worry about linking positions. Check out a full breakdown of the different combinations of links that can be used to achieve maximum Chemistry in FIFA 23 below: Of course, you can use multiple different methods to achieve three Chemistry. If you have a player in the squad along with four players from the same club, they would be on two out of three, but throwing in two more stars from the same nation would give them the extra star. FIFA 23 Chemistry: Heroes & Icons FUT Icons and Heroes have always been major assets when it comes to Chemistry, and the same will be the case with the new system. However, since links are no longer dictated by positions, they have been tweaked. In FIFA 23 Ultimate Team, Icons will count as two players from their nation, meaning they offer twice the Chemistry to every player in the squad from the same country. For example, Ronaldinho would boost every Brazilian player twice as much as a normal player like Neymar. Similarly, FUT Heroes will count as two players from their league. For example, Yaya Toure will offer double the Chemistry to every player in the starting 11 who plays in the Premier League. Does Chemistry matter in FIFA 23? In FIFA 23 Ultimate Team, players on zero Chemistry will no longer see their stats decrease. This means that even someone out of position with no links to any other player will still keep the stats listed on their card, which is perfect for trying out newly packed items. However, Chemistry does still offer stat boosts, so it does pay to consider how your players match together when crafting your Ultimate Team. These boosts become more noticeable with each extra star of Chemistry.

FIFA 23 is finally getting UEFA Women’s Champions League – but there’s a catch EA SPORTSEA SPORTS are bringing the Women’s Champions League to FIFA 23 and beyond, giving players the chance to experience the highest level of European competition. Back in FIFA 16, EA SPORTS took a major step by introducing Women’s football to the franchise with international teams like England, the United States, Germany, and beyond. Things have expanded quite a lot since then, with the introduction of Women’s club teams and a career, Sam Kerr being the first female athlete to grace the FIFA cover, female players being used in Pro Clubs, and we’ll also be getting the Women’s World Cup in FIFA 23 too. Even though EA SPORTS might have their eye on the future with EA SPORTS FC replacing FIFA following FIFA 23, they are still adding new levels of women’s competition to the game. FIFA 23 getting UWCL mode in “early 2023” That’s right, at long last, FIFA fans will be able to dive into the Women’s Champions League knockout stages in FIFA 23, as EA has now gotten the exclusive rights to the competition. This add-on will come once the calendar turns over from 2022 to 2023, with players being able to play as former winners Olympique Lyonnais Féminin as well as Real Madrid Femenino, Chelsea Women, Manchester City Women, and many others. There is no release date mentioned for the mode beyond “early 2023” so it’ll be a case of keeping an eye out for more details. Seeing as this is a multi-year deal, we’ll see the Women’s Champions League follow EA SPORTS over to their new venture – EA SPORTS FC – likely with additional rounds and teams involved. This could also mean that EA has plans to expand the current women’s career mode moving forward as well. In FIFA 23, you can only start a career mode with a team from the Women’s Super League – the English league – or Division 1 Arkema – which is the French league. The developers have promised future updates for FIFA 23 to expand this, but, at some point, their focus will shift to the next step in the franchise. There, we hope, there will be plenty more women’s teams to use – including the NWSL and Liga F, the American and Spanish divisions.

FIFA 23 TOTY leak reveals new ICON cards coming soon EA SPORTSWith FIFA 23 Team of the Year set to be underway very soon, leaks have hinted that the highly-anticipated event will bring new legend cards, including TOTY ICONs. FIFA 23 has delivered plenty of new promos already, but none come with the same hype and prestige as Team of the Year. Every season, EA treats players to a one-off squad of juiced special cards celebrating the best performers of the last 12 months. It’s also guaranteed to come with plenty of SBCs and objectives to complete, making it one of the most exciting events on the Ultimate Team calendar. But according to a number of different sources, FIFA 23 TOTY has another trick up its sleeve, as it’s set to bring brand-new types of ICON cards. Well-known FIFA leaker Fut_scoreboard found that two never before seen card types have been added to the FIFA 23 code – TOTY Icons and Alternate Reality ICONs. ICONs are some of the most popular and valuable items in FIFA 23, allowing fans to add footballing legends into their teams alongside the biggest stars of today. These leaked card types appear to show that EA is expanding on the idea and opening the door for some new players to join the roster of ICONs. Based on the name, TOTY ICONs are expected to be new variants of existing Icons, much like the World Cup ICONs that arrived during Qatar 2022. They could be awarded to any current Icons that appeared in the FIFA Team of the Year during their career, such as Wayne Rooney, Iker Casillas, and Xavi. Alternatively, there has been speculation that they could be given to legends who would’ve featured in the TOTY, but retired before the FUT event began. Meanwhile, Alternate Reality ICONs are harder to predict. The name alone seems to hint that we’ll be seeing some new players joining the lineup, possibly those who looked on track to secure legendary status but didn’t quite make it. It could also refer to current stars who are well on track to becoming ICONs when they do hang up their boots, such as Lionel Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo, and Zlatan Ibrahimovic. Keep in mind that these new cards are still just leaks for the time being, as not every new item added to the code makes its way into the game. Ultimately, we’ll have to wait for FIFA 23 TOTY to get underway to see what EA has planned.

FIFA 23 Trophy Titans: Leaked players, start date, and more EA SPORTSFIFA 23 will soon have a new promo known as Trophy Titans to celebrate some of the most-decorated players in world football. Here’s what you need to know about it. As the calendar has now turned over to April, we’re into those final few weeks of domestic leagues across Europe, and getting set for the big end-of-season promos in Ultimate Team. There have already been a few claims that Team of the Season – yes, that final big promo of the year – will be coming in the middle of April. Though, that hasn’t been confirmed by EA just yet and remains pure speculation. Before we get to TOTS, however, it appears EA has got an all-new promo planned for FIFA 23 known as Trophy Titans. Here’s everything we know about it. FIFA 23 Trophy Titans release date & time That’s right, the promo was leaked at the end of March, with some leakers claiming it would, for some reason, be released on a Saturday. That isn’t the case at all, though. EA has revealed the loading screen for the promo in-game. That loading screen indicates a release date of Friday, April 7 at 6 PM BST/ 1 PM ET/10 AM PT and 7 PM CEST. FIFA 23 Trophy Titans leaked players As the name suggests, the promo will focus on some of the most decorated players in world football, those players who have constantly managed to lift trophies at the end of the season. However, if you’re expecting to see the likes of Lionel Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo, Sergio Ramos, and Karim Benzema, well, it seems you’re in for a shock. According to reliable FIFA leaker FUTSheriff, the promo looks set to just revolve around ICONs and Heroes cards instead, as there is no art for current players. A few of the legends that are set to be involved have already been leaked, as they’re supposed to split into Team 1 and Team 2. You can check these out below: Iker Casillas – Roy Keane – Roberto Carlos – Michael Essien – Zinedine Zidane – Lucio – Dennis Bergkamp – Philip Lahm – Yaya Toure – Patrick Vieira – FIFA 23 Trophy Titans: How will it work? As noted, the promo is set to involve two separate teams, meaning we’re in for two releases over the next fortnight. It hasn’t been confirmed if there will be SBCs and Objectives involved, or if it’ll just be a promo that focuses on new cards from packs. So, that’s everything we currently know about the Trophy Titans promo that is coming to FIFA 23 Ultimate Team. Be sure to check back for more as EA confirms more details about Team 1 and Team 2 over the next fortnight.

The promo returned on January 4 and gave larger upgrades to players. The developers also announced that each TOTW would include two Featured TOTW items, which give a double boost.

FIFA 23 TOTW 8 Predictions | FUT Team of the Week 8 Graphics: EA SPORTSTeam of the Week 8 will be dropping into FIFA 23 as we edge closer to the mid-season World Cup break. So, here are our predictions for TOTW 8. With the World Cup only a few weeks away, leagues across the globe are preparing for their final round of games before a mid-season that will be the first of its kind. EA SPORTS have got plenty of plans for FIFA content during the World Cup, and while Ultimate Team won’t get a new mode, it will get a few promos and new cards. As it stands, there are two Team of the Week releases before the World Cup gets underway, with the first of those being TOTW 8. So, let’s get into some predictions for the upcoming squad. FIFA 23 TOTW 8 Predictions | Team of the Week 8 Headlining our predictions for Team of the Week 8 are Neymar, Mohamed Salah, Christopher Nkunku, Frenkie De Jong, and James Maddison. So, yes, there should be some big-name involvement this week. Neymar and Salah should be guaranteed upgrades after their performances this week. The Brazilian forward bagged a goal and assist in PSG’s 2-1 win over Lorient, and should follow Lionel Messi and Kylian Mbappe in getting a boost recently. Salah, on the other hand, grabbed both of Liverpool’s goals in a 2-1 win over Tottenham and is nailed on. RB Leipzig’s Nkunku is on for his first upgrade of the year after bagging twice in their win over Hoffenheim. Maddison grabbed two assists in Leicester’s 2-0 win over Everton and should bolster his World Cup credentials with a TOTW card. GK: Kevin Trapp – Eintracht Frankfurt – GK: Kasper Schmechiel – OGC Nice – CB: Gabriel – Arsenal – CB: Nikola Milenković – Fiorentina – CB: Samuel Gigot – Marseille – CM: Jacob Ramsey – Aston Villa – CM: Andy Halliday – Hearts – CM: Frenkie De Jong – Barcelona – CAM: Adam Lallana – Brighton and Hove Albion – CAM: Neymar – PSG – LM: Filip Kostic – Juventus – LM: Davidson – Wuhan Three Towns – RM: Marcus Edwards – Sporting Lisbon – RM: James Maddison – Leicester City – RW: Moussa Diaby – Bayer Leverkusen – RW: Gareth Bale – LA FC – CF: Christopher Nkunku – RB Leipzig – CF: Wilfred Zaha – Crystal Palace – ST: Mohamed Salah – Liverpool – ST: Eric Maxim Chupo-Moting – Bayern Munich – ST: Mauro Icardi – Galatasary – ST: Youssoufa Moukoko – Borussia Dortmund – ST: Paul Onuachu – KRC Genk – ST: Evanilson – FC Porto – ST: Oli McBurnie – Sheffield United – FIFA 23 TOTW 8 release date & time As usual, EA SPORTS are sticking to the traditional Wednesday release day for Team of the Week, meaning that TOTW 8 will release on November 9 at 6 PM GMT.

FIFA 23 TOTW 6 Predictions | FUT Team of the Week 6 Graphics: EA SPORTSTeam of the Week 6 will be coming to FIFA 23 this week, and if our predictions are spot on, it could be one of the best we’ve seen in quite some time. So, let’s get into it. With the World Cup rapidly approaching, games are coming thick and fast for clubs as they prepare for a mid-season break that we’ve never seen before across Europe. In the Premier League, there are only three games left for some teams before they put the campaign on pause until Boxing Day. Though, there is no rest for the wicked when it comes to Ultimate Team. EA SPORTS are still pumping out new promos for FIFA 23 and will have a World Cup party before long. Though, we’ve still got some Team of the Weeks to get through first. Including TOTW 6 which, if our predictions are correct, could be one of the best we’ve ever seen. FIFA 23 TOTW 6 Predictions | Team of the Week 6 Headlining our predictions this week are Kylian Mbappe, Jude Bellingham, Ousmane Dembele, Vinicius Jr, and Lautaro Martinez. Yes, there could be a lot of firepower in this squad. Seeing as Messi has a Player of the Month SBC out, Mbappe is a shoo-in for a TOTW card after his two goals and assist against Ajaccio. Similarly, Bellingham should provide a massive boost to Bundesliga Ultimate Teams with a TOTW card for his two-goal performance against Stuttgart. After missing out last week, Lautaro Martinez should be in line for a special card this week seeing as he found the net twice against Fiorentina. We’ve also given a nod to Everton’s Alex Iwobi. The Nigerian is long overdue an upgraded card in FIFA and after two assists against Crystal Palace – including a filthy backheel – he is prime placed for finally getting that upgrade. GK: Dean Henderson – Nottingham Forest – GK: Odysseas Vlachodimos – SL Benfica – RWB: Juan Cuadrado – Juventus – LB: Adam Marusic – Lazio – CB: Florian Lejeune – Rayo Vallecano – CB: Andrei Girotto – FC Nates – CB: Arnau Comas – FC Basel – CM: Jude Bellingham – Borussia Dortmund – CM: Dani Parejo – Villarreal – CAM: Alex Iwobi – Everton – CAM: Brahim Diaz – AC Milan – CAM: Steven Berghuis – Ajax – CAM: Remy Cabella – Lille – RM: Jesper Lindstrom – Eintracht Frankfurt – RW: Ousmane Dembele – FC Barcelona – LM: Vincenzo Grifo – Freiburg – LM: Doru Popadiuc – Chindia – LW: Vinicius Jr. – Real Madrid – LW: Denis Bounaga – LA FC – ST: Kylian Mbappe – PSG – ST: Lautaro Martinez – Inter Milan – ST: Antoine Griezmann – Atletico Madrid – ST: Danny Ings – Aston Villa – ST: Tom Bradshaw – Millwall – ST: Lawrence Shankland – Hearts – ST: Renzo Lopez – Central Cordoba – FIFA 23 TOTW 6 release date & time As usual, EA SPORTS are sticking to the traditional Wednesday release day for Team of the Week, meaning that TOTW 6 will release on October 26 at 6 PM GMT. Should anything change, for whatever reason, we’ll have the latest updates on our Twitter pages with FUTWatch and DexertoFC.

FIFA 23 TOTW 7 Predictions | FUT Team of the Week 7 Graphics: EA SPORTSTeam of the Week 7 will be hitting FIFA 23 Ultimate Team this week, and it could be a solid squad. So, here are our predictions for TOTW 7. Just like the real world leagues, FIFA 23 is full steam ahead to the World Cup, with EA planning to celebrate the quadrennial spectacle in a pretty big way. A brand-new World Cup is said to be going live in early November, with Ultimate Team have different promos throughout the tournament to celebrate the results and performances. Before we reach that point, we’ve still got a few Team of the Week cards to be released – including TOTW 7. So, let’s get into some predictions. FIFA 23 TOTW 7 Predictions | Team of the Week 7 Headlining our predictions this week are Sadio Mane, Victor Osimhen, Stefan de Vrij, Cody Gakpo, and Alejandro Grimaldo. So, there could be some nice players involved. Mane should be in line for his first upgrade of the FIFA 23 season after he scored and assisted twice in Bayern Munich’s 6-2 win over Mainz. That will, of course, be music to the ears of his Ones to Watch owners. Napoli’s Osimhen is also a shoo-in after bagging a hat trick in their 4-0 win over Sassuolo. Similarly, PSV’s Gakpo continued his fine form with a brace against NEC Nijmegen. The Dutchman is long overdue for another upgrade following his appearance back in TOTW 1. GK: Ilan Meslier – Leeds United – GK: Gregor Kobel – Borussia Dortmund – LWB: Alejandro Grimaldo – SL Benfica – LWB: Nicolás Tagliafico – Ajax – LB: Alex Moreno – Real Betis – RB: Youcef Atal – OGC Nice – CB: Stefan de Vrij – Inter Milan – CM: Rodrigo Bentancur – Spurs – CM: Sebastián Palacios – Panathinaikos – CM: Lovro Majer – Stade Rennais – CAM: Max Arnold – Wolfsburg – CAM: Josue – Legia Warsaw – CAM: Robert Zulj – LASK – RM: Antonio Candreva – Salernitana – RW: Reiss Nelson – Arsenal – LW: Sadio Mane – Bayern Munich – LW: Cody Gakpo – PSV – CF: Ola Toivonen – Malmo – ST: Victor Osmihen – Napoli – ST: Calum Wilson – Newcastle United – ST: Lois Openda – RC Lens – ST: Michy Batushayi – Fenerbache – ST: David McGoldrick – Derby County – ST: Guido Burgstaller – Rapid Wien – FIFA 23 TOTW 7 release date & time As usual, EA SPORTS are sticking to the traditional Wednesday release day for Team of the Week, meaning that TOTW 7 will release on November 2 at 6 PM GMT.

FIFA 23 TOTW 4 Predictions | FUT Team of the Week 4 Graphics: EA SPORTSFIFA 23 Team of the Week 4 will be dropping into Ultimate Team this week, and if our predictions are right, it could be a pretty strong defensive line-up. So, let’s get into it. It’s been a few weeks since EA SPORTS put their final FIFA offering out into the world with the release of FIFA 23, and things have been chugging along as expected. While a rogue Hero Pack surfaced, the Ultimate Team promos have already included Ones To Watch, Road to the Knockouts, as well as the first few Player of the Month cards too. As expected, Team of the Week has also been a constant. Off the back of Team of the Week 3’s star-studded line-up, Team of the Week 4 is set to go in a bit of a different direction. So, here are our predictions for TOTW 4. FIFA 23 TOTW 4 Predictions | Team of the Week 4 Headlining our predictions this week are Joao Cancelo, Eder Militao, Fikayo Tomori, Mason Mount, Angel Correa, and Bruno Guimaraes. Yes, it’s lacking firepower, but you can bolster your back line. After Erling Haaland’s TOTW card last week, Cancelo is nailed on to join Manchester City’s early growing list of upgrades. The full-back bagged a goal and assist in the win over Southampton, grabbing man-of-the-match honors to boot. Militao and Tomori were both in goal-scoring form and kept clean sheets for Real Madrid and AC Milan, respectively, and also deserve upgrades. Newcastle’s Bruno is also in-line for a TOTW given his brace in the 5-1 win over Brentford. GK: Koen Casteels – Wolfsburg – GK: Lucas Chevalier – LOSC Lille – RWB: Jeremie Frimpong – Bayer Leverkusen – LB: Joao Cancelo – Manchester City – LB: Roman Bensabiani – Borussia Monchengladbach – LB: Max Wober – RB Salzburg – CB: Eder Militao – Real Madrid – CB: Fikayo Tomori – AC Milan – CB: Phil Jagielka – Stoke City – CM: Bruno Guimaraes – Newcastle United – CM: Orkun Kokcu – Feyenoord – CAM: Mason Mount – Chelsea – CAM: Daniel Gazdag – Philadelphia Union – LM: Gabriel Martinelli – Arsenal – RW: Angel Correa – Atletico Madrid – RM: Nicolas De La Cruz – River Plate – RW: Knowledge Musona – Al-Tai – ST: Edin Dzeko – Inter Milan – ST: Anthony Modeste – Borussia Dortmund – ST: Mario Gonzalez – OH Leuven – ST: Goncalo Ramos – SL Benfica – ST: Enner Valencia – Fenerbache – ST: Brenner – FC Cincinnati – FIFA 23 TOTW 4 release date & time Once again, EA SPORTS are sticking to the traditional Wednesday release day for Team of the Week, meaning that TOTW 4 will release on October 12 at 6 PM GMT. Should anything change, for whatever reason, we’ll have the latest updates on our Twitter pages with FUTWatch and DexertoFC.

FIFA 23 TOTW 3 Predictions | FUT Team of the Week 3 Graphics: EA SPORTSTeam of the Week 3 will be dropping into FIFA 23 this week, so, we’ve got a few predictions for what could be a star-studded TOTW. It’s been a few weeks now since players have been able to get their teeth sunk into FIFA 23 and all that the last game in the iconic franchise has to offer. We’ve already had two Teams of the Week, as well as the first batch of Ones to Watch cards, and the Ultimate Team promos aren’t slowing down any time soon. With Wednesday fast approaching, we’re going to get yet another Team of the Week in the form of TOTW 3. So, here are our predictions for who might make the cut this time around. FIFA 23 TOTW 3 Predictions | Team of the Week 3 Headlining our predictions this week are Erling Haaland, Phil Foden, Christopher Nkunku, Rafael Leao, and Sergej Milinkovic-Savic. So, there’s plenty of firepower. Haaland’s inclusion in this list of predictions should come with a note, however. He currently has a One to Watch card in packs, and that hasn’t stopped EA before. Though, they may choose to hold him back despite his stunning performance. Either way, his teammate Foden is assured to get one, as is Leandro Trossard. They both bagged hat-tricks, making them automatic inclusions. Miguel Almiron should also join them, adding to a fierce Premier League crop this week. On top of those, we’re also giving nods to Wissam Ben Yedder, Jonathan Clauss, Chris Smalling, and Frank Zambo-Anguissa. GK: Kevin Trapp – Eintracht Frankfurt – GK: Agustín Rossi – Boca Juniors – LB: Jonathan Clauss – Marseille – LB: Eduard Sobol – Club Brugge – CB: Chris Smalling – Roma – CB: Kevin Danso – RC Lens – CB: Christian Burgess – Royale Union – CB: Pedro Alcala – FC Cartagena – CM: Sergej Milinkovic-Savic – Lazio – CM: Frank Zambo-Anguissa – Napoli – CM: Hidemasa Morita – Sporting Lisbon – CAM: Miguel Almiron – Newcastle United – CAM: Jamal Musiala – Bayern Munich – RW: Phil Foden – Manchester City – RW: Leandro Trossard – Brighton & Hove Albion – RW: Dino Hotić – Cercle Brugge – LW: Rafael Leao – AC Milan – CF: Christopher Nkunku – RB Leizpig – ST: Erling Haaland – Manchester City – ST: Wissam Ben Yedder – AS Monaco – ST: Alex Sorloth – Real Sociedad – ST: Niklas Fullkrug – Werder Bremen – ST: Daniel Rios – Charlotte FC – FIFA 23 TOTW 3 release date & time Once again, EA SPORTS are sticking to the traditional Wednesday release day for Team of the Week, meaning that TOTW 3 will release on October 5 at 6 PM GMT. Should anything change, for whatever reason, we’ll have the latest updates on our Twitter pages with FUTWatch and DexertoFC.

FIFA 23 TOTW 24 Predictions | FUT Team of the Week 24 Graphics: EA SPORTSFIFA 23 Team of the Week 24 will be arriving this week following an action-packed week of games across the globe. So, here are our predictions for TOTW 24. With the FUT Birthday celebrations finally winding down in FIFA 23, EA SPORTS decided to drop an all-new promo on us in the form of Trophy Titans. This promo has celebrated some of the winningest players in footballing history, with a number of ICONs and Heroes grabbing new cards – and new card art showcasing big trophy wins. These are still up for grabs too. However, they’ll soon be joined by another round of Team of the Week cards as TOTW 24 will be released. So, let’s get into some predictions for Team of the Week 24. FIFA 23 TOTW 24 Predictions | Team of the Week 24 Headlining our predictions this week are Gianluigi Donnarumma, Jack Grealish, Matthijs de Ligt, Marcus Thuram, Kim Min Jae, and Samuel Chukwueze. So, there is a defensive focus this week. Even though PSG ended up with a 2-0 win over Nice, Donnarumma’s heroics kept the Parisians in the game for large parts as Nice dominated possession. His hard work will likely be rewarded given Lionel Messi is unlikely to grab an upgrade from just one goal. Grealish narrowly missed out in TOTW 23 and should get his boost this week after an assist and a goal in Manchester City’s 4-1 win away at Southampton. Similarly, we’ve given a nod to Villarreal’s Chukwueze after his two goals in their 3-2 win away at Real Madrid. GK: Gianluigi Donnarumma – PSG – GK: Guillermo Ochoa – Salernitana – RWB: Przemysław Frankowski – RC Lens – LB: Gijs Smal – FC Twente – CB: Matthijs de Ligt – Bayern Munich – CB: Kim Min Jae – Napoli – CM: Mateus Uribe – FC Porto – CM: Joelinton – Newcastle United – CM: Amadou Haidara – RB Leipzig – CM: Matheus Nunes – Wolves – CAM: Steven Berghuis – Ajax – CAM: Florian Wirtz – Bayer Leverkusen – RW: Samuel Chukweze – Villarreal – RW: Michael Olise – Crystal Palace – LM: Jack Grealish – Manchester City – LM: Daniel Kemp – Hartlepool – LW: Denis Bounaga – LAFC – LW: Francisco Trinaco – Sporting Lisbon – ST: Marcus Thuram – Borussia Monchengladbach – ST: Kyogo – Celtic – ST: Vincent Aboubakar – Beşiktaş – ST: Benie Traore – BK Häcken – ST: Gianni Bruno – Sint-Truiden – FIFA 23 TOTW 24 release date & time As usual, we’re not expecting any change in the release of Team of the Week 24 in FIFA 23. So, TOTW 24 will be released on Wednesday, April 12 at 6 pm. If EA does decide to change things for one reason or another, we’ll have updates across Twitter from both FUTWatch and DexertoFC. So, check in with those.

FIFA 23 TOTW 22 Predictions | FUT Team of the Week 22 Graphics: EA SPORTSTeam of the Week 22 will be dropping into FIFA 23 this week, and it should celebrate some big international achievements. Here are our predictions for TOTW 22. After a longer than usual wait in FIFA Ulitmate Team, FUT Birthday finally launched as the new big promo on March 24, allowing players to celebrate the 14th birthday of EA SPORTS’ original Ultimate Team mode. As ever, the promo has brought some stellar cards to the mix, and there should be a few more to come over the next week or so. Before then, however, we’ve got another Team of the Week to get through with TOTW 22. However, this one will be a little different, seeing as we’re in the midst of an international break. So, here are our predictions. FIFA 23 TOTW 22 Predictions | Team of the Week 22 Headlining our predictions for TOTW 22 are Cristiano Ronaldo, Kylian Mbappe, Harry Kane, Romelu Lukaku, Joao Cancelo, and Mike Maignan. So, it could be rather good when it’s all said and done. Ronaldo looks to be a shoo-in for this round of Team of the Week upgrades following his four goals in two Euros qualifier games for Portugal. Similarly, Mbappe led France to a resounding 4-0 win over the Netherlands, bagging two goals and an assist. So, he should be in as well. Lukaku bagged himself a hat-trick in Belgium’s win over Sweden, giving new boss Dominic Tedesco his first win since replacing Roberto Martinez. Kane scored two for England in their two games, including a vital penalty against Italy to give Gareth Southgate’s side a famous away win. GK: Mike Maignan – AC Milan – GK: Danny Ward – Leicester City – RWB: Joao Cancelo – Bayern Munich – RB: Youssouf Sabaly – Real Betis – CB: Johan Vásquez – Cremonese – CB: Regan Poole – Lincoln City – CB: Carlos Terán – Chicago Fire – CDM: Marcel Sabitizer – Manchester United – CDM: Sandro Tonali – AC Milan – CM: Scott McTominay – Manchester United – CM: Weston McKennie – Leeds United – CM: Rade Krunic – AC Milan – CM: Jackson Irvine – FC St Pauli – CAM: Elfi Elmas – Napoli – RM: Angel Correa – Atletico Madrid – RW: Christian Ramirez – Columbus Crew – LW: Kylian Mbappe – PSG – CF: Renato Steffen – FC Lugano – ST: Cristiano Ronaldo – Al Nassr – ST: Harry Kane – Spurs – ST: Romelu Lukaku – Inter Milan – ST: Rasmus Winther Højlund – Atalanta – ST: Jordan Morris – Seattle Sounders – ST: Dion Charles – Bolton Wanderers – FIFA 23 TOTW 22 release date & time Once again, we don’t expect any change in the release of Team of the Week in FIFA 23. So, TOTW 22 will be released on Wednesday, March 29 at 6 pm. If EA decides to change things for the first time all season, we’ll have updates across Twitter with both FUTWatch and DexertoFC.

FIFA 23 TOTW 23 Predictions | FUT Team of the Week 23 Graphics: EA SPORTSTeam of the Week 23 will be dropping into FIFA 23 this week and it could be a pretty solid set of upgrades. So, here are our predictions for TOTW 23. As the calendar has turned over to April, we’re into the business end of Europe’s domestic leagues, as champions are soon going to be crowned and relegation a reality for others. In FIFA Ultimate Team terms, that means we can start looking forward to Team of the Season. Some leakers have already claimed that the promo will start in the middle of the month with a Premier League squad, but that would be pretty unusual given what we’ve come to expect from TOTS. Before we get to that annual end-of-season party, though, we’ve still got another few Team of the Week releases to get through. That starts with TOTW 23, so, here are our predictions. FIFA 23 TOTW 23 Predictions | Team of the Week 23 Headlining our predictions for Team of the Week 23 are Karim Benzema, Robert Lewandowski, Kieran Trippier, Jack Grealish, Thomas Muller, and Rafael Leao. So, it could be a pretty good crop of upgrades. Benzema continued his fine goalscoring form with a seven-minute hat-trick for Real Madrid in their 6-0 win over Real Valladolid. So, unless EA has some sort of special card planned, he’s in. As to is Lewandowski, as he bagged a brace and an assist in Barca’s 4-0 win over Elche. Grealish seems the logical choice to represent Manchester City’s 4-1 win over Liverpool, as he scored, got an assist, and was named Man of the Match. Similarly, Trippier got an assist and clean sheet in Newcastle’s 2-0 win over Manchester United, and should earn his second TOTW upgrade of the campaign. GK: Emi Martinez – Aston Villa – GK: Lennart Grill – Union Berlin – RB: Kieran Trippier – Newcastle United – RB: Leonardo Godoy – Estudiantes – RB: Matty Pearson – Huddersfield Town – CB: Toby Alderweireld – Royal Antwerp – CB: Nayef Aguerd – West Ham United – CDM: Dominik Kohr – FSV Mainz – CM: Giacomo Bonaventura – Fiorentina – CM: Sergej Milinkovic-Savic – Lazio – CAM: Malik Tillman – Rangers – CAM: Lucas Zelarayán – Columbus Crew – LM: Nathan Redmond – Beskitas – RM: Alexis Flips – Stade Reims – RM: Morgan Guilavogui – Paris FC – LW: Jack Grealish – Manchester City – LW: Rafael Leao – AC Milan – CF: Thomas Muller – Bayern Munich – ST: Karim Benzema – Real Madrid – ST: Robert Lewandowski – Barcelona – ST: Gabriel Jesus – Arsenal – ST: Luuk de Jong – PSV – ST: Marko Livaja – Hadjuk Split – ST: Edon Zhegrova – Lille – ST: Moise Kean – Juventus – FIFA 23 TOTW 23 release date & time We’re not anticipating any change in the release of Team of the Week 23 in FIFA 23. So, TOTW 23 will be released on Wednesday, April 5 at 6 pm. If EA decides to change things for some reason, we’ll have updates across Twitter from both FUTWatch and DexertoFC.

FIFA 23 TOTW 20 Predictions | FUT Team of the Week 20 Graphics: EA SPORTSFIFA 23 Team of the Week 20 will soon be dropping into Ultimate Team. So, we’ve got a few predictions as to who will make it into TOTW 20. The FIFA 23 Ultimate Team train keeps on rolling into mid-March, as we’re getting ready to celebrate the annual FUT Birthday party. Fantasy FUT, with its upgrades for current players and a select few ICONs has been a solid promo all-round, but it’s set to give way this week to the final FUT Birthday under the FIFA umbrella. Before we get there, though, we’ve got another Team of the Week release to get through in the form of TOTW 20. So, here are our predictions for the new crop of weekly upgrades. FIFA 23 TOTW 20 Predictions | Team of the Week 20 Headlining our predictions this week are Harry Kane, Eder Militao, Benjamin Pavard, Jonathan David, and Iago Aspas. There’s a European league focus, but there’s plenty of firepower in there. After not scoring in his previous three games, Kane got back on track with a brace for Spurs in a 3-0 win over Nottingham Forest. Similarly, Militao bagged a goal in a 3-1 win for Real Madrid as they snapped their three-game winless run with a victory over Espanyol. We’ve given a nod to Llile’s David after scored a hat-trick in a 3-3 draw with Lyon, which could have also seen Alex Lacazette nominated for his two goals off the bench. Though, we’re going with the Canadian forward. GK: Ledesma – Cadiz – GK: Bartlomiej Dragowski – Spezia – RB: Kyle Walker-Peters – Southampton – RB: Ki-Jana Hoever – Stoke City – CB: Eder Militao – Real Madrid – CB: Benjamin Pavard – Bayern Munich – CB: Vitor Hugo – Trabzonspor – CM: Adrien Rabiot – Juventus – CM: Raphaël Guerreiro – Borussia Dortmund – CM: Rolando Mandragora – Fiorentina – CAM: David Neres – SL Benfica – LM: Dwight McNeil – Everton – LM: Caleb Wiley – Atlanta United – LW: Craig Goodwin – Adelaide United – RM: Xavi Simons – PSV – RW: Mo Kudus – Ajax – CF: Denis Bouanga – LAFC – CF: Leandro Trossard – Arsenal – ST: Harry Kane – Spurs – ST: Jonathan David – Lille – ST: Iago Aspas – Celta Vigo – ST: Lois Openda – RC Lens – ST: Haji Wright – Antalyaspor – FIFA 23 TOTW 20 release date & time We’ve not yet seen a change to the release of Team of the Week in FIFA 23, and we’re not expecting that to change this week. So, TOTW 20 will be released on Wednesday, March 15. If EA decides to change things up for some unknown reason, we’ll have updates across Twitter with both FUTWatch and DexertoFC.

FIFA 23 TOTW 19 Predictions | FUT Team of the Week 19 Graphics: EA SPORTSTeam of the Week 19 will be dropping into FIFA 23 Ultimate Team this week, and it could have some solid cards. Here are our predictions for TOTW 19. With the calendar turning over to March, we’re firmly into the business end of the season in many domestic leagues in Europe – or you’re just starting, in the case of the MLS. When it comes to FIFA 23, the Ultimate Team promos keep moving at pace too. While some players are already looking ahead to Team of the Season, EA recently brought back the popular Fantasy FUT promo with some pretty juicy cards. Those players will get a set boost based on how their team performs against a set criteria for goals, assists, clean sheets, and results. Though that also goes for Team of the Week, and we’ve got a new set of predictions for TOTW 19. FIFA 23 TOTW 19 Predictions | Team of the Week 19 Headlining our predictions this week are Mohamed Salah, Matthijs de Ligt, Antoine Griezmann, Wesley Fofana, and Téji Savanier. So, there is something for everyone. Even though Liverpool run riot against Manchester United and embarrassed them 7-0, it was easy to give Salah the nod for TOTW. The Egyptian forward bagged two goals and an assist on his way to becoming Liverpool’s record goal scorer in the Premier League. So, Darwin Nunez and Cody Gakpo will have to wait. Similarly, Griezmann and de Ligt edged out teammates who also had cases for Team of the Week cards with their performances against Sevilla and Stuttgart respectively. It should also mark the third upgrade for Griezmann this season as he’s been a player reborn since returning to Atlético Madrid. GK: Jose Sa – Wolves – GK: William Yarbrough – Colorado Rapids – RWB: Jeremie Frimpong – Bayer Leverkusen – RB: Dodo – Fiorentina – LB: Alejandro Grimaldo – SL Benfica – CB: Wesley Fofana – Chelsea – CB: Gianluca Mancini – AS Roma – CB: Matthijs de Ligt – Bayern Munich – CM: Matias Vecino – Lazio – CAM: Téji Savanier – Montpellier – LM: Otavio – FC Porto – LM: Monnapule Saleng – Orlando Pirates – RM: Samuel Chuekweze – Vilarreal – RW: Mohamed Salah – Liverpool – RW: Reiss Nelson – Arsenal – CF: Brennan Johnson – Nottingham Forest – ST: Antoine Griezmann – Atlético Madrid – ST: Benjamin Sesko – RB Salzburg – ST: Jesus Fereria – FC Dallas – ST: Enes Unal – Getafe – ST: Jorge Molina – Granada – ST: Viktor Gyokeres – Coventry City – ST: Mbaye Diagne – Karagumruk – FIFA 23 TOTW 19 release date & time We’re yet to see a change to the Team of the Week release slot in FIFA 23, and we’re not expecting that to change this week. So, TOTW 19 will be released on Wednesday, March 8. If EA decides to change things up for some unknown reason, we’ll have updates across Twitter with both FUTWatch and DexertoFC.

FIFA 23 TOTW 2 Predictions | FUT Team of the Week 2 Graphics: EA SPORTSTeam of the Week 2 for FIFA 23 Ultimate Team will be launching as the new game finally goes live for Ultimate Edition owners. So, we’ve got a few predictions. After the Web App went live last week, EA SPORTS have finally opened the gates to FIFA 23’s Ultimate Team with the release of the early access period. Plenty of players have already dived in and started exploring the whole host of new features, begun grinding away in Division Rivals, and been trading on the market to earn a few precious extra coins. The release of the Web App also saw the release of Team of the Week 1, headlined by Kevin De Bruyne and Heung-Min Son. Team of the Week 2 is on the horizon and should have some equally impressive cards. So, let’s get into our predictions. FIFA 23 TOTW 2 Predictions | Team of the Week 2 Headlining our predictions this week are Lionel Messi, Virgil Van Dijk, Mohamed Salah, Richarlison, and Manuel Akanji. So, it could be pretty star-studded. With two goals for Argentina against Honduras, Messi is in a prime spot to grab his first upgraded card of the FIFA 23 season. Similarly, Van Dijk bagged Netherlands’ only goal in a 1-0 Nations League win over Belgium and should also find himself with an upgraded card. His Liverpool teammate Mo Salah may have left Egypt’s camp early, but not before he scored twice against Niger. Richarlison also further cemented his claim to Brazil’s number 9 shirt as he grabbed two goals in a 3-0 win over Ghana. GK: Kasper Schmeichel – OGC Nice – GK: Giorgi Mamardashvili – Valencia – LB: Borna Sosa – VFB Stuttgart – RB: Diogo Dalot – Manchester United – RWB: Oleksandr Tymchyk – Dynamo Kyiv – CB: Manuel Akanji – Manchester City – CB: Virgil Van Dijk – Liverpool – CM: Seko Fofana – Lens – CM: Mateus Uribe – Porto – CM: Moises – Shandong Taishan – CAM: Themba Zwane – Mamelodi Sundowns – LM: Ryan Christie – AFC Bournemouth – RW: Mohamed Salah – Liverpool – RW: Hirving Lozano – Napoli – RW: Gavin White – Cardiff City – LW: Ivan Perisic – Spurs – CF: Lionel Messi – Argentina – ST: Richarlison – Spurs – ST: Alexander Mitrovic – Fulham – ST: Benjamin Sesko – RB Salzburg – ST: Michy Batushayi – Fenerbahce – ST: Javier Hernandez – LA Galaxy – ST: Jevani Brown – Exeter City – FIFA 23 TOTW 2 release date & time Once again, EA SPORTS are sticking to the traditional Wednesday release day for Team of the Week, meaning that TOTW 2 will release on September 28 at 6 PM GMT. Should anything change, for whatever reason, we’ll have the latest updates on our Twitter pages with FUTWatch and DexertoFC.

FIFA 23 TOTW 17 Predictions | FUT Team of the Week 17 Graphics: EA SPORTSTeam of the Week 17 will be dropping into FIFA 23 Ultimate Team this week, and it could be a bit of a banger. Here are our predictions for TOTW 17. As the calendar gets ready to turn over to March, we’ll soon be inching towards that stretch of FIFA Ultimate Team that everyone loves: Team of the Season. We’re at the business end of most domestic leagues, meaning EA will soon start revealing the nominees for TOTS, and we’ll have the chance to vote on a few. As ever, there will be incredibly high-rated cards. After that, we’ll start being able to look forward to EA SPORTS Football Club as well. Though, to pump the breaks a little on that excitement, we’ve got another load of Team of the Week cards to get excited about. So, here are our predictions for TOTW 17. FIFA 23 TOTW 17 Predictions | Team of the Week 17 Headlining our predictions this week are Kylian Mbappe, Kevin De Bruyne, Bruno Fernandes, Trent Alexander-Arnold, Ciro Immobile, and Marco Reus. So, it could be a pretty good one. After recovering from a tough stretch of three games without a goal, Mbappe found the net twice in PSG’s epic 4-3 win over Lille and should get the TOTW nod over Lionel Messi. Similarly, De Bruyne played a vital role in Manchester City’s 3-1 win over Arsenal, and despite blanking against Nottingham Forest, he deserves an upgrade. Fernandes has looked like a player reborn in the last few weeks, shifting out to the right-hand side for Manchester United, and that form should be rewarded with a boost. Similarly, Alexander-Arnold bagged a goal, assist, and two clean sheets from Liverpool’s last two, and he should make it in as well. GK: Bernd Leno – Fulham – GK: Mattia Perin – Juventus – RB: Trent Alexander-Arnold – Liverpool – RB: James Tavernier – Rangers – RB: Seamus Coleman – Everton – LB: Borna Sosa – VFB Stuttgart – CB: Jubal – Auxerre – CB: Facundo Medina – RC Lens – CB: Jorge Figal – Boca Juniors – CM: Reo Hatate – Celtic – CM: Nicolai Vallys – Brondby – CM: Marco Reus – Borussia Dortmund – CM: Sergi Roberto – Barcelona – CAM: Kevin De Bruyne – Manchester City – LM: Luis Rioja – Alaves – LM: Kamil Grosicki – Pogoń Szczecin – RM: Bruno Fernandes – Manchester United – RW: Viktor Tsygankov – Girona – CF: Dusan Tadic – Ajax – ST: Kylian Mbappe – PSG – ST: Ciro Immobile – Lazio – ST: Tom Bradshaw – Milwall – ST: Tim Kleindienst – FC Heidenheim – FIFA 23 TOTW 17 release date & time As ever, Team of the Week will be dropping in its usual Wednesday release slot, meaning TOTW 17 will be released on Wednesday, February 22 at 6 pm GMT. We’re not expecting any changes to the release schedule, but we’ll have updates across FUTWatch and DexertoFC on Twitter if EA decides to change things up for one reason or another.

FIFA 23 TOTW 18 Predictions | FUT Team of the Week 18 Graphics: EA SPORTSTeam of the Week 18 will be dropping into FIFA 23 Ultimate Team this week, and it could be a bit of a banger. Here are our predictions for TOTW 18. The end of February is here, which, in FIFA Ultimate Team terms, means we’re almost close to celebrating FUT Birthday. The annual promo isn’t too far away now, and it should be a big one given it’s the last under the FIFA umbrella. As the calendar gives way to March, it also means we’ve got the return of the MLS as it kickstarts its season at this point. So, that’ll make Team of the Week a little more interesting going forward. Team of the Week 18 is the next one to drop in FIFA 23, and yes, we’ve got an MLS player featuring in our predictions. So, let’s get into who we think will get into TOTW 18. FIFA 23 TOTW 18 Predictions | Team of the Week 18 Headlining our predictions this week are Kylian Mbappe, Phil Foden, Theo Hernandez, Timo Werner, Thomas Muller, and Jose Gimenez. So, there should be something on offer for everyone. We expected Mbappe to make it last week, and gave him a nod in our predictions, but EA surely can’t ignore him two weeks in a row. The French forward bagged another two goals for PSG against Marseille and deserves an upgrade. Similarly, Foden was in fantastic form for Manchester City, scoring once against Bournemouth and setting up another. AC Milan’s Hernandez should get his second TOTW upgrade of the season after back-to-back clean sheets. Likewise, RB Leipzig’s Werner grabbed a goal and assist against Eintracht Frankfurt and deserves another bump up in rating. GK: Koen Casteels – Wolfsburg – GK: Albero Brignoli – Panathinaikos – LB: Theo Hernandez – AC Milan – LB: Junior Firpo – Leeds United – CB: Jose Gimenez – Atletico Madrid – CB: Attila Szalai – Fenerbache – CM: Gabriel Veiga – Celta Vigo – CM: Oliver Skipp – Spurs – CM: Antonio Candreva – Torino – CM: Lee Jae Song – FSV Mainz – RM: Phil Foden – Manchester City – RM: Junya Ito – Stade Reims – LM: Luka Ivanusec – Dinamo Zagreb – CAM: Thomas Muller – Bayern Munich – CAM: Thiago Almada – Atlanta United – CAM: Franco Vazquez – Parma – ST: Kylian Mbappe – PSG – ST: Timo Werner – RB Leipzig – ST: M’Bala Nzola – Spezia – ST: Danny Ings – West Ham United – ST: Martin Braithwaite – Espanyol – ST: Terem Moffi – OGN Nice – ST: Eamonn Brophy – Ross County – ST: Max Mata – Sligo Rovers – FIFA 23 TOTW 18 release date & time We haven’t seen a change to the Team of the Week release slot yet in FIFA 23, and we’re not expecting that to change this week. So, TOTW 18 will be released on Wednesday, March 1. If EA decides to change things up for one reason or another, we’ll have updates across FUTWatch and DexertoFC on Twitter.

FIFA 23 TOTW 16 Predictions | FUT Team of the Week 16 Graphics: EA SPORTSFIFA 23 Team of the Week 16 will be dropping in Ultimate Team this week, and it should feature Cristiano Ronaldo’s first upgrade in a while. So, here are our predictions for TOTW 16. As we’ve reached the midway point of February, we’re getting closer to the business end of the football season. Title races are starting to be whittled down to just two teams in some leagues, while the relegation battles are also hotting up. The Champions League, Europa League, and Conference League are also getting back underway, and that’ll be celebrated in FIFA with the start of the Road to the Final promo. There should be some nice cards on offer there for you to invest in. Before we get there, though, we’ve got another Team of the Week to get through in TOTW 16. So, here are our predictions for who should make the cut this week. FIFA 23 TOTW 16 Predictions | Team of the Week 16 Headlining our predictions for Team of the Week 16 are Cristiano Ronaldo, Luke Shaw, Wissam Ben Yedder, Dusan Vlahovic, Rodri, and Jonathan David. Yes, there should be some serious firepower on offer this week. Ronaldo should be a certainty to get his first upgrade since leaving Manchester United, after he grabbed all four of Al-Nassr’s goals in their 4-0 win over Al-Wehda. His former teammate, Shaw, kept a clean sheet and chipped in with an assist against Leeds United, so expect them to make it. Ben Yedder, David, and Vlahovic all registered braces in their games, and should bolster the forward options in TOTW 16. GK: Anthony Lopes – Lyon – GK: Juan Musso – Atalanta – RB: Jeremie Frimpong – Bayer Leverkusen – CB: Luke Shaw – Manchester United – CB: Nico Schlotterbeck – Borussia Dortmund – CB: Robin Pröpper – FC Twente – CDM: Rodri – Manchester City – CDM: Ellyes Skhiri – FC Koln – CM: Marshall Munetsi – Stade Reims – CM: Teji Savanier – Montpellier – CM: Joey Veerman – PSV Eidnhoven – CM: Ever Banega – AL-Shabab – CM: Jae Sung Lee – FSV Mainz – CAM: James Maddison – Leicester City – LM: Vincenzo Grifo – Freiburg – LW: Theo Bongonda – Cadiz – RM: Sergio Canales – Real Betis – RM: Nathan Tella – Burnley – ST: Cristiano Ronaldo – Al Nassr – ST: Dusan Vlahovic – Juventus – ST: Wissam Ben Yedder – AS Monaco – ST: Jonathan David – Lille – ST: Daniele Verde – Spezia – ST: Kodjo Fo-Doh Laba – Al Ain – ST: Dion Charles – Bolton Wanderers – FIFA 23 TOTW 16 release date & time Team of the Week will be dropping in its regular Wednesday release slot, meaning TOTW 16 will be released on Wednesday, February 15 at 6 pm GMT. We’re not expecting any changes to that, but if there is a change for whatever reason, we’ll have updates across FUTWatch and DexertoFC on Twitter if EA springs a surprise.

FIFA 23 TOTW 14 Predictions | FUT Team of the Week 14 Graphics: EA SPORTSFIFA 23 Team of the Week 14 will be dropping into packs this week, so, here are our predictions for TOTW 14 – and it could be a fun one. We’re approaching the end of January which, in FIFA Ultimate Team terms, means we’re finally bidding farewell to Team of the Year and settling back in for some usual promos. The honorable mentions and 12th man for the TOTY squad have been released – with Erling Haaland grabbing a super upgrade – but we’ve now got another week of Team of the Week to look forward to. Given that most of English football was on a break due to the FA Cup, and those cup games don’t count towards TOTW, it’s a chance for other leagues to shine. So, here are our predictions for TOTW 14. FIFA 23 TOTW 14 Predictions | Team of the Week 14 Headlining our predictions this week are Jordi Alba, Lautaro Martinez, Dani Olmo, Piotr Zielinski, and Domenico Berardi. So, there could be some underrated cards dropped if we’re right. In the case of Alba, he chipped in with an assist in Barcelona’s 1-0 win over Girona, so that, coupled with a clean sheet should get the left-back in. Martinez was in fine form for Inter Milan, with the Argentine bagging a brace against Cremonese. He should be a shoo-in. In what is an unusual move for Team of the Week, we’re giving nods to the RB Leipzig pair of Dani Olmo and Dominik Szoboszlai. The attacking midfielders both starred in separate games and made strong cases for upgrades. So, we’re backing the pair of them. GK: Michele Di Gregorio – Monza – GK: Benjamin Lecomte – Montpellier – LB: Jordi Alba – Barcelona – LB: Marcos Acuna – Sevilla – LB: Alex Grimaldo – Benfica – RB: Christopher Trimmel – Union Berlin – CB: Edmond Tapsoba – Bayer Leverkusen – CB: Phillip Lienhart – Freiburg – CM: Piotr Zielinski – Napoli – CM: Josh Campbell – Hibernian – CM: Mattias Svanberg – Wolfsburg – CAM: Dominik Szoboszlai – RB Leipzig – CAM: Dani Olmo – RB Leipzig – RM: Jonas Hofmann – Borussia Monchengladbach – RW: Domenico Berardi – Sassuolo – LW: Carlos Junior – Al-Shabab – ST: Lautaro Martinez – Inter Milan – ST: Niklas Fullkrug – Werder Bremen – ST: Karim Onisiwo – FSV Mainz – ST: Enner Valencia – Fenerbahce – ST: Jean-Pierre Nsame – Young Boys – ST: Iker Guarrotxena – FC Goa – ST: Anastasios Douvikas – FC Utrecht – FIFA 23 TOTW 14 release date & time As usual, Team of the Week will be in its regular Wednesday release slot, meaning TOTW 14 will be released on Wednesday, February 1 at 6 pm GMT. We haven’t seen a change to TOTW’s release in FIFA 23 yet. Though, we’ll have updates across FUTWatch and DexertoFC on Twitter if EA springs a surprise.

FIFA 23 TOTW 15 Predictions | FUT Team of the Week 15 Graphics: EA SPORTSFIFA 23 Team of the Week 15 is right around the corner, and it should include some nice upgrades. So, here are our predictions for TOTW 15. The FIFA 23 calendar keeps turning over at pace as we inch closer to the business end of the footballing season. With Team of the Year firmly in the rearview mirror, we’ve had a chance to look to the future with Future Stars showcasing some of the best young talents in the game. That Future Stars promo has already dropped some nice new cards into Ultimate Team, including upgrades for the likes of Karim Adeyemi, Julian Alvarez, and Mykhailo Mudryk. There appears to be more to come as well. Before we get there though, we’ve got another Team of the Week release to go through. So, here are our predictions for TOTW 15. FIFA 23 TOTW 15 Predictions | Team of the Week 15 Headlining our predictions for Team of the Week this week are Keylor Navas, Achraf Hakimi, Jordi Alba, Victor Osimhen, and Kingsley Coman. So, a nice bunch of cards if we’re spot on. After making the move to Nottingham Forest from PSG, Navas kept a clean sheet on his debut against Leeds United, and should be rewarded with a TOTW upgrade. His former team, Hakimi, didn’t manage to keep a clean sheet but did pitch in with a goal and assist in PSG’s 2-1 win over Toulouse. So, he’s in too. Osmihen has been in fine goalscoring form for high-flying Napoli this season, and another brace means he gets a nod. Alba grabbed himself a goal, assist, and a clean for Barcelona against Sevilla and seems a certainty to get an upgrade. GK: Keylor Navas – Nottingham Forest – GK: Predrag Rajković – RCD Mallorca – LB: Jordi Alba – Barcelona – LB: Raphaël Guerreiro – Borussia Dortmund – RB: Achraf Hakimi – PSG – CB: James Tarkowski – Everton – CB: Craig Dawson – Wolves – CB: Ibanez – Roma – CM: Guillermo Maripan – AS Monaco – CDM: Pierre-Emile Hojberg – Spurs – CM: Steven Berghuis – Ajax – CM: Ahmet Arslan – Dynamo Dresden – CAM: Richard Van der Venne – Melbourne City – LM: Kingsley Coman – Bayern Munich – LW: Pere Milla – Elche – RM: Pedro Gonçalves – Sporting Lisbon – RW: Bryan Mbuemo – Brentford – RW: Alireza Jahanbakhsh – Feyernoord – ST: Victor Osimhen – Napoli – ST: Randal Kolo Muani – Frankfurt – ST: Kelechi Inhenacho – Leicester City – ST: David McGoldrick – Derby County – ST: Mauro Icardi – Galatasary – FIFA 23 TOTW 15 release date & time As usual, Team of the Week will be in its regular Wednesday release slot, meaning TOTW 15 will be released on Wednesday, February 8 at 6 pm GMT. We haven’t seen a change to TOTW’s release in FIFA 23, and we’re not expecting one here. Though, we’ll have updates across FUTWatch and DexertoFC on Twitter if EA springs a surprise.

FIFA 23 TOTW 13 Predictions | FUT Team of the Week 13 Graphics: EA SPORTSFIFA 23 Team of the Week 13 will be dropping into Ultimate Team this week, and it could be pretty studded. So, here are our predictions for TOTW 13. Even though the January transfer window is open in real life, there haven’t been too many massive moves made by clubs to this point. In terms of FIFA Ultimate Team though, we’ve had the biggest move of the season with the release of Team of the Year. Lionel Messi, Karim Benzema, and Kylian Mbappe headline the FIFA 23 line-up, while Erling Haaland, Fede Valverde, and Joao Cancelo are up for the 12th man vote. However, if you can’t afford those top-tier Team of the Year cards, don’t worry, there is another Team of the Week to come with TOTW 13. So, here are our predictions. FIFA 23 TOTW 13 Predictions | Team of the Week 13 Headlining our predictions for Team of the Week 13 are Erling Haaland, Antoine Griezmann, Ivan Rakitic, Nico Schlotterbeck, and Enzo Fernandez. So, it could be a tasty squad. As noted, Haaland is up for the 12th man vote, which means EA could decide to go against him for TOTW, but his hat-trick against Wolves certainly puts him in with a shout. If EA doesn’t go for Haaland, then expect Riyad Mahrez to get the upgrade for City. Similarly, Griezmann got an upgrade with TOTW 10, but is back in with a shout three weeks later, and is certainly deserving of another upgrade. We’ve also given a nod to Arsenal’s Eddie Nkeitah following his two goals against Manchester United. The fact he scored the winner should get him a TOTW upgrade, but Bukayo Saka is also deserving of a shout. GK: Vanja Milinkovic-Savic – Torino – GK: David Raya – Brentford – RWB: Pedro Porro – Sporting Lisbon – RB: Giovanni Di Lorenzo – Napoli – RB: João Mário – FC Porto – LB: Pervis Estupiñán – Brighton and Hove Albion – CB: Nico Schlotterbeck – Borussia Dortmund – CB: Marc Bartra – Trabzonspor – CB: Danilho Odekhi – Union Berlin – CDM: Elyes Skhiri – FC Koln – CM: Luke Leahy – Shrewsbury Town – CM: Ivan Rakitic – Sevilla – CM: Enzo Fernandez – Benfica – CM: Ivan Ilic – Hellas Verona – RM: Jarrod Bowen – West Ham United – RW: Jesper Lindstrom – Eintracht Frankfurt – LM: Antoine Griezmann – Aletico Madrid – LW: Amine Adli – Bayer Leverkusen – ST: Erling Haaland – Manchester City – ST: Eddie Nketiah – Arsenal – ST: Kyogo – Celtic – ST: Jonas Wind – Wolfsburg – ST: Vincent Janssen – Royal Antwerp FC – FIFA 23 TOTW 13 release date & time As usual, Team of the Week will be in its regular Wednesday release slot, meaning TOTW 13 will be released on Wednesday, January 25 at 6 pm GMT. We haven’t seen a change to TOTW’s release in FIFA 23, and we’re not expecting one here. Though, we’ll have updates across FUTWatch and DexertoFC on Twitter if EA springs a surprise.

FIFA 23 TOTW 10 Predictions | FUT Team of the Week 10 Graphics: EA SPORTSFIFA 23 Ultimate Team welcomes Team of the Week back this week after a two-month hiatus. So, here are our predictions for TOTW 10. After a thrilling World Cup, which saw Argentina finally become world champions for the first time since 1986, FIFA 23 is getting back to its regularly scheduled programming when it comes to Ultimate Team. The World Cup promos are on their way out and we’re now in January, which means EA are prepping for the start of Team of the Year. It’s already been rumored that voting for the TOTY will begin on January 10 with the promo starting to arrive in packs a full 10 days later on January 20. However, before we get to that absolutely massive annual promo, we’ve got the return of Team of the Week. So, let’s get into some predictions for TOTW 10. FIFA 23 TOTW 10 Predictions | Team of the Week 10 That’s right, Team of the Week is returning to FIFA 23 Ultimate Team this week and we’re expecting it to be a big one as we’ve got Erling Haaland, Kai Havertz, Antoine Griezmann, and Martin Odegaard headlining our predictions for upgrades. With a number of games falling into consideration for this TOTW cycle, we’ve given Haaland a nod given he’s got three goals in two games for Manchester City and already looks in imperious form. Similarly, Griezmann has returned from the World Cup in the same vein form he showed in Qatar, chipping in with two assists against Elche. Arsenal’s title charge is not solely down to Odegaard, but the Norwegian midfielder is certainly playing a key role and did so against Brighton with a goal and assist. We’ve also given a nod to Brian Mbuemo for his two goals and assist against Liverpool. GK: Ilan Meslier – Leeds United – GK: Alban Lafont – Nantes – RB: Przemyslaw Frankowsk – RC Lens – RB: Conor Roberts – Burnley – LB: Sead Kolasinac – Marseille – LB: Nuno Santos – Sporting Lisbon – CB: Pau Torres – Villareal – CB: Carl Piergianni – Stevenage – CDM: Douglas Luiz – Aston Villa – CM: Martin Odegaard – Arsenal – CM: Aaron Mooy – Celtic – LM: Ricardo Horta – Braga – LM: Alexander Golovin – AS Monaco – LW: Marcus Rashford – Manchester United – LW: Fabio Borini – Fatih Karagümrük – CAM: Chuba Akpom – Middlesbrough – CF: Antoine Griezmann – Atletico Madrid – CF: Kai Havertz – Chelsea – ST: Erling Haaland – Manchester City – ST: Mehdi Taremi – Porto – ST: Bryan Mbeumo – Brentford – ST: Cherif Ndiaye – Shanghai Port – ST: Folarin Balogun – Stade Reims – ST: Matt Smith – Salford City – FIFA 23 TOTW 10 release date & time Even though TOTW has been on a two-month hiatus, it will stay in its regular Wednesday release slot. That means Team of the Week 10 releases on Wednesday, January 4 at 6 pm GMT. It’s unlikely that anything will change on that front, but if it does we’ll have updates across FUTWatch and DexertoFC on Twitter.

FIFA 23 TOTW 11 Predictions | FUT Team of the Week 11 Graphics: EA SPORTSTeam of the Week 11 will be dropping into FIFA 23 Ultimate Team this Wednesday, and it could involve some pretty nice upgrades. Here are our predictions for TOTW 11. After a brief hiatus due to the World Cup, Team of the Week is back in FIFA 23 Ultimate Team and is already delivering the goods as we’re on the road to Team of the Year. The nominees for the annual January promo have already been revealed, with 100 of the world’s best players eligible to be voted into this year’s TOTY. Though, you better act fast, you’ve only got until January 17 to register your votes. The likes of Lione Messi, Kylian Mbappe, and Luka Modric are likely to star in this year’s top-rated 11. However, before we get there, we’ve got another Team of the Week or two to get through. So, here are our predictions for TOTW 11. FIFA 23 TOTW 11 Predictions | Team of the Week 11 Headlining our predictions for Team of the Week 11 are Harry Kane, David De Gea, John Stones, Jules Kounde, Anderson Talisca, and Danilo. It could be a pretty nifty TOTW as we said. Kane seems a lock for this TOTW after his brace and assist in Spurs’ 4-0 win away at Crystal Palace. Similarly, De Gea should also get his first upgrade of the season thanks to his clean sheet against AFC Bournemouth. On the other side of Manchester, John Stones should also grab an upgrade for his role in City’s 1-0 win over Chelsea. We’ve also given nods to Sandro Tonali, Marcos Acuna, Felipe Anderson, and Mauro Icardi. So, there should be plenty on offer regardless of what team you have. GK: David De Gea – Manchester United – GK: Bernd Leno – Fulham – LWB: Marcos Acuna – Sevilla – LWB: Federico DiMarco – Inter Milan – RB: Claudio Winck – CS Marítimo – RB: Jules Kounde – Barcelona – CB: Danilo – Juventus – CB: John Stones – Manchester City – CB: Sverrir Ingi Ingason – PAOK – CB: Damien Marcq – RC Sporting Charleroi – CDM: Michal Sadilek – FC Twente – CM: Sandro Tonali – AC Milan – CM: Ruben Alcaraz Jimenez – Cadiz – CM: Valentin Eysseric – Kasımpaşa – RM: Solly March – Brighton & Hove Albion – LM: Henry Onyekuru – Adana Demirspor – RW: Felipe Anderson – Lazio – CF: Anderson Talisca – Al-Nassr – ST: Harry Kane – Spurs – ST: Gerard Moreno – Villarreal – ST: Mauro Icardi – Galatasary – ST: Kevin Nisbet – Hibernian – ST: Bartholomew Ogbeche – Hyderabad – FIFA 23 TOTW 11 release date & time TOTW is back in its regular Wednesday release slot following a hiatus for the World Cup, meaning Team of the Week 11 releases on Wednesday, January 11 at 6 pm GMT. Lots of elevens this week. It’s unlikely that anything will change on that front, but if it does we’ll have updates across FUTWatch and DexertoFC on Twitter.

FIFA 23 TOTS Warm-Up Series: Start date leaked, what to expect, more Graphics: EA SPORTSEA SPORTS are set to drop another new promo in FIFA 23 Ultimate Team to celebrate Team of the Season. Here’s what we know about the TOTS Warm-Up Series. When the calendar finally flipped over to April, FIFA Ultimate Team players were firmly expecting to hear about Team of the Season and what EA had planned for the big end-of-year promo. Voting has been and gone for the first release – the Community TOTS – but they have also started voting for the Premier League winners. After that, the Bundesliga, La Liga, and then Serie A will have their nominees revealed ahead of the votes which will see players having their stats boosted in a big way. While Team of the Season has, typically, stood alone as a lengthy promo, it appears as if that will change this year once again. Here’s what we know about this year’s installment of the Warm-Up Series. When does FIFA 23 TOTS Warm-Up Series start? As the name suggests, the Warm-Up Series will be a fresh batch of content that will build up the excitement before the actual Team of the Season promo gets underway. It was leaked by DonkTrading on April 18, who claimed that the promo will start on April 21. That would give it a full week of content before the Community TOTS is released on April 28 and then other squads follow. What will FIFA 23 TOTS Warm-Up Series include? While the main attraction around Team of the Season are the new cards and lighting rounds of packs, things will be slightly different with the Warm-Up Series. As per DonkTrading, the promo is expected to include daily SBCs and objectives for players to get their teeth stuck into. Of course, these will come with packs as rewards, but it’ll be up to you as to whether or not you risk opening them before the new cards are in packs. It’s unknown, at this point, if it will follow FIFA 22’s model of daily log-in bonuses, but EA typically dangles a few carrots before the big end-of-year blow-off. So, that’s what we know about FIFA 23’s TOTS Warm-Up Series. If anything changes, we’ll be sure to update this article with more.

FIFA 23 TOTW 1 Predictions | FUT Team of the Week Graphics: EA SPORTSTeam of the Week 1 for FIFA 23 Ultimate Team will be launching as a part of the Web App period for the new game. So, we’ve got some predictions. With the football season across Europe already a few weeks deep, it can only mean one thing for FIFA – the new game is almost here. And, with FIFA 23, we’re only a week away from that early access period. The new game, which is the final one to use the FIFA branding, will open up to players on September 27, but there will be a period before that where fans can make a start on their Ultimate Team using the Web App. With the Web App opening up on September 21, EA SPORTS will be dropping the first set of Team of the Week cards for FIFA 23. So, we’ve got some predictions for who might grab an upgraded card early on. Headlining our predictions for TOTW 1 are Heung-Min Son, Robert Lewandowski, Ciro Immobile, William Saliba, Federico Valverde, and Cody Gakpo. Yes, it could be a stacked crop of cards right away. Son is guaranteed a special card off the bat, given he fired home a hat-trick for Spurs after coming off the bench against Leicester City. Similarly, Lewandowksi continued his fine form for Barcelona with a two-goal outing against Elche. Saliba, who has made an eye-catching start to life in the Arsenal first team, also got on the score sheet and kept a clean sheet against Brentford. We’ve also given nods to the likes of Gerard Deulofeu, Teji Savanier, Marco Verratti, Jonas Hofmann, and Rafa Silva. So, check out the full list of predictions below: FIFA 23 TOTW 1 Predictions | Team of the Week 1 GK: Jeremias Ledesma – Cadiz – GK: Rafal Gikiewicz – FC Augsburg – RB: Pablo Maffeo – RCD Mallorca – RB: Alastair Johnston – Montreal Impact – LB: Filip Mladenovic – Legia Warsaw – CB: William Saliba – Arsenal – CB: Armando Izzo – Monza – CDM: Joao Palhinha – Fulham – CM: Marco Verratti – PSG – CM: Gaston Brugman – LA Galaxy – CM: Conor Hourihane – Derby County – CAM: Teji Savanier – Montpellier – CAM: Daichi Kamada – Frankfurt – RM: Jonas Hofmann – Borussia Monchengladbach – LW: Heung-Min Son – Spurs – LW: Cody Gakpo – PSV – RW: Federico Valverde – Real Madrid – RW: Aitor – Panathinaikos – CF: Rafa – Benfica – CF: Gerard Deulofeu – Udinese – ST: Robert Lewandowski – Barcelona – ST: Ciro Immobile – Lazio – ST: Borja Igelsias – Real Betis – ST: Sheraldo Becker – Union Berlin – ST: Mama Balde – Troyes – FIFA 23 TOTW 1 release date & time Given that EA SPORTS hasn’t made any announcement about switching up the usual release day and time for Team of the Week, it’s safe to assume it’ll be sticking to 6 pm on Wednesday. That means that TOTW 1 will arrive on Wednesday, September 21 at 6 pm, meaning you’ll have to use the Web App to try and get the new players. So, best of luck. Should anything change, for whatever reason, we’ll have the latest updates on our Twitter pages with FUTWatch and DexertoFC.

FIFA 23 to feature cross-play & big World Cup plans leaked EA SPORTSEA SPORTS is preparing to finally activate cross-play between PlayStation, Xbox, and PC players with the launch of FIFA 23, according to a report. According to an exclusive story from Tom Henderson, on Xfire, there will be a number of major changes announced by Electronic Arts in the coming months. There has been a very public back and forth between EA and FIFA in relation to the game’s licensing agreement. On one hand, FIFA has stated that they would like to continue the relationship without exclusivity, meaning they could remain part of the game series but also sell their naming rights to other companies in the gaming space. It would, however, cost EA a reported $1 billion every four years to continue down this path, even with exclusivity being stripped. Conversely, EA has been looking for other solutions, with EA SPORTS FC being touted as a possible new name. Andrew Wilson, the CEO of Electronic Arts, has also been quoted in a meeting with staff, saying that he views their series as being bigger than the football institution itself – putting a potential renewal in limbo. Will FIFA 23 have cross-play? Tom Henderson has revealed that the next installment, FIFA 23, will include cross-play. In recent years, EA has not even given the possibility for players to come together with the same brand of console – for example, Xbox Series X players had a different game version than those on Xbox One. That move in particular was very difficult for many fans to understand, given that other comparable franchises such as Call of Duty or standalone games Apex Legends and Fortnite offer cross-play to some degree. On top of that, some exciting FIFA-exclusive content for the World Cup will also feature in FIFA 23, according to the report on Xfire. This includes World Cup content for both the men’s and women’s game, which would represent a massive step forward for inclusivity in the series. In FIFA 22, EA made it possible to create women’s teams in Pro Clubs for the very first time. Members of the female game have been available to play with in offline modes such as Kick-Off as part of their national teams, so a World Cup feature was only a matter of time. Hypermotion Technology, which added thousands of new animations in FIFA 22, will also get a facelift. The development team will reportedly be scrapping Xsens suits in favor of capturing animations from real footballers using stadium cameras. These changes will tick off some things on player wishlists, but there’s still one question that remains to be seen… Will the next game be free?

FIFA 23 title update 7: Corner kick positioning, improved offside calls, more Graphics: EA SPORTSFIFA 23 announced an upcoming title update 7 that addresses transfer market glitches, corner kick player positioning, and improves referee logic. Team of the Year usually provides one of the most memorable experiences of the year for FIFA fans, but bugs have marred FIFA 23’s promo. A glitch awarded players the incorrect version of TOTY Courtois, and bugged packs gave users World Cup players. Both glitches came just days after four promo cards accidentally received nerfs, sending the transfer market into a frenzy. EA apologized for the recent slew of mishaps and released a long list of changes coming to the game soon in FIFA 23’s title update 7. FIFA 23 corner kick positioning adjusted FIFA 23 title update 6 nerfed the velocity and accuracy of powered corner kicks. Community members complained it was too easy to score directly from the corner spot. Ever since EA made it harder to score from corner kicks, players have struggled to create as many chances on offense. In the upcoming update, the developers announced that taller players are likelier to place themselves in attack-oriented positions. This should balance the scales and make it easier to score again. FIFA 23 improves offsides calls and ref logic EA also confirmed title update 7 improves referee decision-making for offside calls. Players sometimes would make a run on the touch line out of bounds and incorrectly get called for being in an offside position. FIFA 23 title update 7 patch notes Here are the full FIFA 23 title update 7 patch notes. EA did not provide an official release date for the update. FIFA Ultimate Team Addressed the following issues: When returning from Transfer Market Live Search Results after performing a search using search filters, those filters could have incorrectly returned to their default settings. This issue was previously listed on the EASF Tracker. – – Player Items sometimes displayed incorrectly on the Transfer Recommendations tile. – Gameplay Made the following change: Adjusted corner kick positioning for the attacking team so that taller players are more likely to place themselves in attack-oriented positions. – Addressed the following issues: Improved referee logic when deciding to call for an offside when the offending player was outside of the pitch’s playing area. – In some rare situations, a requested pass would not be performed by the ball carrier. – In rare cases, some tackling animations did not play correctly. – Sometimes, an Outside Of The Foot Shot animation did not occur when the shot was requested correctly. – General, Audio, and Visual Made the following changes: Added the ability for players to automatically download the latest visual assets such as balls, kits, and more, without a Title Update. An automatic download can occur when starting the title or when entering modes. – When a download is taking place, a message will appear on screen. – Downloads can be manually canceled by following the on screen button prompt, but note that some downloads may be required for online play. – – Update some kits, badges, player portraits, and tifos. – Addressed the following issues: Playtime Match Limit messages could not be closed when a set limit was reached. This issue was previously listed on the EASF Tracker. – – [PC Only] Addressed instances of an EA anticheat stability issue that could have prevented the title from launching in some cases. – On some save screens, EA Social was unintentionally available. – [PC Only] Known issue: Please note that cross-play will be unavailable until this Title Update is released to other platforms in the near future. –

FIFA 23 Team of the Season: All TOTS squads, schedule & more Graphics: EA SPORTSTeam of the Season is now live in FIFA 23 Ultimate Team with the first squad being released for players. So, here are all the TOTS squads and how you can still vote for some players! Over the years, EA SPORTS have introduced a whole host of promos to FIFA Ultimate Team. Some have stuck around for multiple years, while others have only been used before being shelved. Though, there are two that you set your watch by – Team of the Year and Team of The Season. The latter celebrates the world’s best players, while TOTS gives each big league across the globe their moment in the spotlight. Given that we’re inching closer towards the end of domestic seasons across Europe, Team of the Season has started taking over in FIFA 23. So, here’s everything we know about this year’s installment. FIFA 23 TOTS start date Team of the Season typically starts just as league champions are being crowned – hence the name – meaning that the promo usually starts somewhere between April and May. This year, in FIFA 23, TOTS started on April 28 with a big Friday release. We’re also expecting the Tuesday release of smaller squads to come back as well. These Tuesday releases highlight smaller leagues but typically add SBCs and Objectives for the whole promo. So, they’re not to be shunned. FIFA 23 TOTS squads As of writing, We’ve had just about every TOTS team release, with Ligue 1 being the latest entry. FIFA 23 Serie A TOTS FIFA 23 Ligue 1 TOTS FIFA 23 La Liga TOTS FIFA 23 Bundesliga TOTS FIFA 23 Premier League TOTS FIFA 23 Community TOTS FIFA 23 Eredivise TOTS FIFA 23 EFL Team of the Season How to vote for FIFA 23 TOTS Voting for some of the big Team of the Season releases is still open and pretty simple to do. You just have to head over to the EA website, find the Team of the Season section, and you’ll be able to place the nominees that you want to vote for in a starting line-up. Submitting that will register a vote for those players! Head over to the FIFA 23 TOTS site – Scroll down to the ‘Vote’ section – Find the team you want to vote for and, as long voting is still open, click on it – Place the 11 players you want to vote for into the starting line-up – Click submit and you’re done! – What will the FIFA 23 TOTS release schedule be? In recent years, EA have typically kicked off Team of the Season with their community squad, giving players the chance to vote for players who’ve been consistent all season without grabbing an upgrade or two. We’d expect that to stay the same this year before the likes of the Premier League, Bundesliga, La Liga, Ligue 1, Eredivisie, and MLS are released. Of course, we’ll probably get a few others too, given that TOTS covers pretty much every league around. While we don’t have the confirmed release schedule just yet, here’s how the major releases shook out in FIFA 22: Community & EFL TOTS – Premier League TOTS – Bundesliga TOTS – La Liga TOTS – Ligue 1 TOTS – Serie A TOTS – Ultimate TOTS – What will be included in FIFA 23 TOTS? As noted, the squad releases will likely be broken down into alternating Friday and Tuesday releases. Those squads that are released on a Friday will have 18 players, while Tuesday teams will have 11 – and possibly even less. These releases will be supplemented with new packs, SBCs, Objectives, and possibly some Season Progress bonuses too. So, that’s everything we know and are expecting for FIFA 23’s Team of the Season promo so far. Once we know more, and EA starts confirming details about it, we’ll update this article. So, keep checking back for more.

FIFA 23 Squad Battles glitch is giving players free wins EA SPORTSFIFA 23 is finally here and the first priority for some players is improving their FUT squad. A FIFA YouTuber has already discovered a glitch to earn free Squad Battles wins, making for a great way to upgrade your team. Players who purchased FIFA 23’s Ultimate Edition received the game three days earlier than everyone else, but game-breaking glitches and server performance left users frustrated. Not all glitches are necessarily bad, however. The game’s most popular mode, Ultimate Team, can be daunting for first-time players. Trying to make the right purchases or earn coins requires skill or countless hours of effort. We have a trading guide to help players make smart investments, but some players prefer playing to spending their time on the menus. A YouTuber discovered an easy way to earn FUT rewards fast, as the Squad Battles glitch has reared its head once again. FIFA 23 Squad Battles glitch found FIFA YouTuber Will Judd went over a Squad Battles glitch in his September 27 video. The glitch does not appear to have a 100% success rate but, these are the steps he shared. Get in the ‘D mark,’ which is the D-shaped semi-circle right outside of your opponent’s box. – hold L2 or LT, Pull away from the D – let go of L2 or LT, and the control stick. – From there, the CPU defender will be at your back, but you should be able to sit there and kill out the clock of a Squad Battles match. Squad Battles is a competitive FUT mode in which you try to rack up as many wins as possible against CPU teams in a seven-day time frame. Earning more points through winning games awards higher ranks and better rewards. For now, EA has not patched this glitch and whether they will step in to hotfix it remains to be seen.

However, Squad Battles offers players a mode in which they can do battle with the AI. In short, if you prefer playing offline, this is the mode for you. Unfortunately, it takes an awful long time to accumulate Squad Battles points (primarily because the AI can’t rage quit when they’re 3-0 down after 20 minutes).

FIFA 23 soundtrack revealed: Bad Bunny, Denzel Curry, Labrinth, more EA SPORTSEA have officially revealed the FIFA 23 soundtrack, featuring tunes from big-name artists like Denzel Curry, Flume, and many more. We’ve listed all the songs and artists in FIFA 23 that are going to soundtrack your football season. FIFA players are always eager to see what’s new every year, and FIFA 23 is set to deliver thanks to a host of new Ultimate Team features and the long-awaited introduction of crossplay. But the only thing as important as the football in FIFA 23 are the bangers that accompany it. Players can spend hours tinkering in the menus trying the build the ideal FIFA 23 squad, and the songs that play in the background can become stuck in their head for the whole season. EA have revealed the full FIFA 23 soundtrack, and we’ve listed every song and artist below. FIFA 23 Soundtrack The FIFA 23 Soundtrack features dozens of songs looking to get your foot tapping while flicking around the menus. These tracks play on the main menu screen, as well as FIFA 23 Ultimate Team, Career Mode, Pro Clubs, and more. Since Volta is heavily inspired by street football around the world, it’s no surprise that the mode comes with its own curated soundtrack. These songs are only available when playing Volta as they fit the vibe of that specific mode. You can customize the playlist by heading into the settings and selecting the songs you want to remove from the rotation. Check out the full FIFA 23 Menu Soundtrack below. Those were the songs and artists proving the backdrop for FIFA 23.

13 songs perfect for FIFA 23 soundtrack Instagram: Vance Joy, Anitta / Yannis PhilippakisEA SPORTS has an embarrassment of riches to choose from when selecting tracks for the FIFA 23 soundtrack – but we’ve whittled our wishlist down to 13. While the world’s freedoms are restored following the global health crisis, music fans of all genres will have noticed a boom in creativity across the industry in 2022. Veterans have been once again touring across the planet, from Coldplay to The Rolling Stones, and a number of stars who first blew up on social media have made a transition into music, from Doja Cat to Bella Poarch. Now, not all of those artists or bands will make it onto the FIFA 23 soundtrack, for various reasons. Football fans have gotten used to a certain vibe when it comes to the tunes picked by EA over the years. On top of that, there’s often more space for breakthrough talent rather than those already capable of global tours. So – let’s take a look at our wishlist for the next installment, featuring British rock band FOALS, Puerto Rican rapper Bad Bunny, Brazilian singer Anitta, Australia’s indie-folk performer Vance Joy, and more! BLOWSOM – On My Own It would feel wrong starting with any other song, honestly. BLOWSOM’s ‘On My Own‘ premiered in March, 2022, and looked to be a shoo-in for the next game… Not just for the music video, but hit that play button. The French artist started out playing the guitar at the age of eight, and despite only having 13,000 followers on Instagram, the talented singer has definitely produced a record worthy of FIFA 23. It could be a launchpad for his career. FOALS – 2am FOALS first formed in 2005, in Oxford, and while they have always had a really strong following in the scene since the very beginning, 2022 does feel like a breakthrough moment for the band. The group consists of Yannis Philippakis, Jack Bevan, and Jimmy Smith. As part of their new album, Life Is Yours, ‘2am‘ shines as the perfect song to be blurring away in the Career Mode menus. George Ezra – Anyone For You After rising to mainstream fame with his single, ‘Budapest’, back in 2014, George Ezra fans are back to their toe-tapping ways with his 2022 hit, ‘Anyone For You.‘ The love song is bound to steal the hearts of football fans around the world if Electronic Arts make the move. Coldplay – Biutyful Coldplay have been riding the rollercoaster of an eco-friendly tour across Europe, North America, and South America with Music of the Spheres since March 2022. Their fans might see ‘Higher Power’, ‘Humankind’, and ‘My Universe’ as standouts from this album – but there is an outsider that could very well fit the FIFA style. It’s called ‘Biutyful‘. Sky Ferreira – Don’t Forget Sky Ferreira might not be a household name, but her May 2022 record ‘Don’t Forget‘ would complement the other songs on this list, for sure. The 30-year-old artist, born in Venice, Los Angeles, featured on NME Magazine in June and is growing her audience all the time. Imagine Dragons – Bones Imagine Dragons need no introduction. The Grammy-award-winning band is back in 2022, making a strong case to feature in another EA soundtrack with ‘Bones‘. The last time their music was a part of the series was FIFA 13, with ‘On Top of the World.’ 10 years on, this writer thinks it’s time for round two. Vance Joy – Clarity If you have never listened to Vance Joy’s stuff before, your time has come. The popular Australian artist has become something of an indie darling Down Under, and his 2022 album In Our Own Sweet Way features some absolute belters. For FIFA 23, ‘Clarity‘ absolutely fits the bill. You can just picture this chirpy love song on repeat as you build your first Ultimate Team. Joywave – We Are All We Need Joywave is an American indie rock band from Rochester, New York, and their impressive 2022 song ‘We Are All We Need‘ certainly sounds like something the FIFA 23 soundtrack should include. As their fans will know, Daniel Armbruster, Joseph Morinelli, and Paul Brenner are part of the lineup. Inclusion in the next EA SPORTS game could strap a rocket to their careers. James Marriott – Gold The next one on our list is actually from a UK-based YouTuber, James Marriott, who has over two million subscribers on his main channel. Formerly a member of a content creation group called the Eboys, Marriott has started to balance his commentary videos with some great music, and his 2022 single ‘Gold’ forced its way onto our list. Just listen to it. Anitta – Envolver Brazilian singer Anitta has taken over TikTok with some of her saucy dance moves in 2022, allowing her late-2021 hit ‘Envolver‘ to become a viral sensation. Despite some pretty graphic lyrics about sexual chemistry, the South American star makes a strong case for inclusion in FIFA 23 with this catchy rammer. Imagine the Anitta challenge as a celebration, too… Bad Bunny (ft. The Marias) – Otro Atardecer 2022 has been the year of Bad Bunny, without a doubt, as the Puerto Rican rapper has toured right across the Americas and even starred as a wrestler at WWE Royal Rumble. In May, he dropped another great tune with The Marias called ‘Otro Atardecer‘. While it might not have the most exciting music video, it looks destined for the FIFA 23 soundtrack. Nilüfer Yanya – The Dealer Nilüfer Yanya is a 27-year-old London-born singer and songwriter. Her latest album, PAINLESS, was released in March 2022 and there might be no better song than ‘The Dealer‘ to be playing as you sign transfers in FIFA 23. Just listen to that guitar. Bastille – Shut Off The Lights Bastille will be very popular already with FIFA players, with ‘Hangin’ featuring in FIFA 16, ‘Send Them Off’ in FIFA 17, and ‘The Waves’ in FIFA 20. Well, ‘Shut Off The Lights‘ looks to be next in line, as one of the standouts from their 2022 album – Give Me The Future. At the end of the day, while these 13 songs might song like perfect fits for the FIFA 23 soundtrack, ultimately it will be EA that decides which ones make the cut. If you think we have missed a song out that could be in contention this year, reach out to the writer on Twitter.

FIFA 23 Shapeshifters Team 2 revealed: Garrincha, Neuer, Dembele, more EA SportsShapeshifters, a fan-favorite FIFA Ultimate Team promo, is back for FIFA 23 with a few unique twists that evolve an already unique concept. Team of the Season is a hard act to follow up. The lengthy promo provided plenty of cards that will be in Ultimate Team squads for the rest of FIFA 23’s life cycle. You may ask how any other promos could offer cards strong enough to crack a spot in lineups. Thankfully, Shapeshifters features some of the biggest names in football history in new positions. So even if some of these cards don’t necessarily stack up against what TOTS offered, it’s a refreshing change of pace to see footballers in positions they have never played. Let’s jump right into what this year’s Shapeshifters promo has in store. What to expect from Shapeshifters in FIFA 23 Shapeshifters puts footballers in new positions with different skills, abilities, and playing styles. FIFA 23 introduces Shapeshifters Icon Twins, which adds two different versions of ICON promo cards. Shapeshifters cards will also have Premium Chemistry, so a green link to any player in the same league as them opens up squad-building opportunities. Shapeshifters Team 2 revealed Here is the full list of players included in Shapeshifters Team 2. Shapeshifters Team 1 Here is the full list of players included in Shapeshifters Team 1. Pele is widely regarded as one of the best strikers in football history. However, Shapeshifters allows players to experience what it would have been like if he was a winger. Robin Van Persie also spent his career as a striker. Shapeshifters re-invents the Dutchmen into a hyper-creative attacking mid or speedy winger. As for current footballers, Antonio Rudiger is known for his ambitious runs from center back into the attacking third with Real Madrid. So it’s only fitting that players will get to use the German as a natural striker. We will provide an update when we learn more about Shapeshifters Team 2.

New FIFA 23 skill moves revealed with major change EA SPORTSEA SPORTS has revealed a few new FIFA 23 skill moves and changes to how skills work. Here, we’re going to run through them all. As this is the final game of the FIFA series, fans around the world expect to see a series of exciting changes for it to go out with a bang before it becomes EA SPORTS FC. In dribbling, an overhaul of numerous mechanics have been confirmed by the developers, with a list of new skill moves being announced for the next installment. One of which is left-footed skills – a major change – meaning a player such as Riyad Mahrez or Lionel Messi can switch directions in a much more flexible way. This has been a fan-requested feature for a number of years. The changes were revealed on July 27, as part of the official gameplay trailer. New FIFA 23 skill moves and changes revealed FIFA 23 players can expect the following skill moves to be included in the game, which they can try out first with EA Play early access: Left-foot skill moves: For the first time ever, left-footed players can use skill moves on their strongest foot, giving them more flexibility when dribbling than ever. – Fake shot: Advanced fake shots are coming, available only to “elite” players in FIFA 23. Previously, this could be done by any player. – Stutter faint: This allows you to faint one way and go the opposite direction, similar to an ankle-breaker in NBA 2K. – Heel fake to ball roll: This allows the player to use the heel to fake a pass, before ball rolling in another direction. It looks like an ideal way to take on defenders with fast wingers. – Skill moves such as these provide the elite players with an advantage when trying to break through defensive lines – and we anticipate a complete list of controls for each of them will be released in due course. When that happens, we we’ll be sure to update this page. A full list of controls for all the skill moves carrying over from FIFA 22 can be found here.

FIFA 23 set pieces explained: Penalties, free kicks & corners EA SPORTSFIFA 23 is set to totally revamp the way players take set-pieces, giving them more control than ever before. We’ve broken down how to take penalties, free-kicks, and corners in FIFA 23. EA Sports is clearly looking to send the FIFA series out with a bang in FIFA 23 as they’ve confirmed a number of fan-requested features are set to be added. Crossplay will be available from launch for the first time, allowing players on different consoles to go head-to-head, although Pro Clubs is still waiting for support. Women’s club teams will also be making their debut, in a massive step forward for inclusivity in the series. One of the biggest changes in FIFA 23, however, is the way set pieces work. With this in mind, we’ve put together a guide on how penalties, free-kicks, and corners work in FIFA 23. Contents FIFA 23 free-kicks In FIFA 23, the aiming reticle players have become accustomed to is gone, replaced by a more precise line that shows you the initial flight of the ball. The left stick moves the line, allowing you to direct the shot into the corner of the net with pinpoint accuracy. Meanwhile, the right stick adjusts where the taker will strike the ball, affecting the spin and type of shot. Whereas FIFA 22 required a fair amount of guesswork as to what type of shot would be carried out, in FIFA 23 there is text under the ball explaining if you are lining up a knuckleball or an inside foot curler. Once you’re happy with the direction, simply hold the shoot button to determine whether the player places or smashes the ball. As was the case last year, you can also hit shoot again just before foot meets ball to give the shot an extra degree of accuracy. However, mistiming this will most likely see it blaze over the bar and into the stand. Here’s a quick recap of how to take free-kicks in FIFA 23: Use the left stick to choose a direction – Choose a shot type and apply spin with the right stick – Hold the shoot button to power up the shot – Press shoot again to activate Timed Finishing – Wheel away in celebration – FIFA 23 corners FIFA 23’s corners work much the same way as free-kicks, only you’re delivering the ball into the box instead over a wall of defenders. A line will mimic where the ball will go over the first few yards. The left stick dictates the direction, while the right stick adjusts where the crosser will strike the ball, affecting the type of delivery. For example, players can choose to play an out-swinging corner to bait the goalkeeper into running off his line by hitting the right side or left side of the ball, or float one to the back post getting their foot under it. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to take corners in FIFA 23: Use the left stick to choose a direction – Choose a cross by applying spin with the right stick – Hold the cross button to power up the cross – FIFA 23 penalties Penalties have been changed drastically in FIFA 23, in an effort to recreate the pressure and difficulty that real-life spot-kick takers face. The window to aim penalties has been significantly reduced and timing is more crucial than ever. Before a penalty is taken, a small circle will surround the ball, repeatedly starting off small and growing larger. To perform the perfect, accurate penalty, players need to hit shoot when the circle is at its smallest. The speed at which the circle moves depends on how skilled the taker is at penalties, and how significant a moment it is. For example, the deciding penalty of a shootout will be harder than a consolation goal at 4-0 down. Holding down shoot initiates the runup, as well as deciding how much power is used. Players then have to use the left stick to aim the shot before they make contact with the ball. Here’s another recap on how to take penalties in FIFA 23: When standing over the penalty, watch the circle surrounding the ball – Press shoot when the circle is at its smallest to begin the run-up – Hold down R1/RB or L1/LB to execute a finesse or chip shot – Use the left stick to direct the shot before the ball is struck – There you have it! That was everything you need to know about set pieces in FIFA 23.

Top 10 Serie A FIFA 23 rating predictions: Immobile, Dybala, Pogba, more EA SPORTSSome of FIFA 23’s best players will come from Serie A, although the league may not be the European superpower it once was. Italian giants like Juventus, AC Milan, and Inter Milan have some huge stars in their squads, and we’ve predicted which of them will make up the top 10 Serie A players in FIFA 23. Year after year, the Italian league produces some of the most desirable players that FIFA Ultimate Team has to offer, and FIFA 23 will be no different. Serie A has fallen behind other leagues in recent years, but the resurgence of the two Milan clubs has put it firmly on the road back to former glory. Big-name stars are still being drawn to Italy, meaning that FIFA 23 could see the league reemerge as one of the most popular. But who will be the best of the bunch? We’ve put together our predictions for the top 10 best Serie A players in FIFA 23. FIFA 23 Serie A top-rated players: Predictions We’re still waiting for EA to drop the full slate of FIFA 23 ratings, so these are just our predictions for now. It’s worth noting that some of the players on this list are subject to transfer rumors, so things could easily change as more moves are confirmed. We’ll be sure to update this page as soon as the official ratings are revealed. Paul Pogba: 87 ->85 Life in Manchester didn’t quite turn out as planned, but it’s a testament to Paul Pogba’s natural ability that he still earned a move back to Juventus. Despite his immense quality, the Frenchman will be looking to prove his doubters wrong in Turin. A string of disappointing performances will almost definitely earn him a downgrade in FIFA 23, but 85 still seems fair for a player of his stature. Our money is on a -2 change in rating, but don’t be surprised to see Pogba bounce back with the club that helped build his reputation. Mike Maignan: 84 -> 86 The Italian league has produced some world-class goalkeepers over the years, and AC Milan has stumbled on yet another. Mike Maignan was comfortably the best goalkeeper in Serie A as the Rossoneri secured their first title in 11 years. The Frenchmen kept 17 clean sheets altogether, two more than Handanovic and Patricio. After finally helping AC Milan to win back their crown, Maignan should be rewarded with a +2 upgrade to 86 in FIFA 23. Theo Hernandez: 84 -> 86 Another key part of AC Milan’s title success, Theo Hernandez is slowly emerging as one of the best fullbacks in world football. While known for his pace, Hernandez’s defending has improved massively, and he played a pivotal role in helping his goalkeeper earn 17 clean sheets last season. He also chipped in at the other end of the pitch, notching five goals and another six assists – the most for a defender. The 24-year-old is already one of the best left-backs in FIFA, and we expect this to continue in FIFA 23 with a +2 increase. Wojciech Szczesny: 87 -> 86 It’s safe to say that the 2021/22 season isn’t one that will live long in the memory of Juventus fans. That being said, it’s tough to place the blame solely at the feet of goalkeeper Wojciech Szczęsny, who still managed 12 clean sheets. The big Pole was largely let down by the performances of his teammates, so we don’t expect to see his rating butchered in FIFA 23 but a drop does feel unavoidable. For this reason, 86 feels about right this time around. Romelu Lukaku: 88 -> 86 The Belgian striker was a revelation when he first graced the San Siro, but his big-money return to Chelsea was far from a happy reunion. After a solid enough start for Lukaku, a loss of form, and a well-documented desire to return to Inter saw him fall out of favor with Thomas Tuchel. He got his wish and will be loaned back to Italy this year, but his rating will certainly pay the price for a disappointing season. In the case of such a high-profile flop, don’t be suprised to see him axed by two ratings down to 86. Lautaro Martinez: 85 -> 86 After years of showing promise, last season felt like Lautaro Martinez was finally living up to his potential. After helping Argentina claim the Copa America, he then fired in 25 goals as Inter Milan won the Italian cup and finished second in the league. Registering his most prolific season date more than warrants an upgrade, so an 86-rated card in FIFA 23 should be guaranteed. His performances earned him plenty of admiration from clubs around Europe, but if he sticks with the Nerazzurri, he’ll undoubtedly be one of Serie A’s deadliest strikers. Milan Škriniar: 86 -> 86 Reliability is the difference between a good center-back and an average one, and they don’t come more trustworthy than Milan Skriniar. The Slovakian has been a stalwart for Inter Milan in recent seasons, known for his exceptional positioning and crucial tackles. Last season was another great year, earning Skriniar a spot in the Serie A TOTS as Inter pushed their rivals all the way. Being pipped in the final game might prevent him from being upgraded, but 86 is more than respectable. Angel Di Maria: 87 -> 86 At the tender age of 34, many players would be beginning to wind down, but the Argentine has secured another move to a top side. After so many years at massive clubs like PSG and Real Madrid, it’s no surprise that Juventus snapped up Angel Di Maria when he decided to leave Paris. The winger remains one of the most underrated stars in world football and can still go toe-to-toe with almost anyone in terms of sheer quality. Although is age likely means his rating will start to plummet in the next few years, we expect him to be a standout in Italy this year. Paulo Dybala: 87 -> 87 Paulo Dybala has always been a unique player, able to play across the front line thanks to his close dribbling, creative flair, and clinical finishing. But after a shaky couple of years, Paulo Dybala rediscovered his form in the last 12 months, proving his quality once again with 15 goals and a spot in the Team of the Season. After seven illustrious years at Juventus, Dybala’s time in Turin has come to end and he’s embarking on a new chapter at Roma. With Jose Mourinho taking him under his wing, his 87 rating should carry over from FIFA 22 as he looks to impress in a different shirt. Ciro Immobile: 87 -> 88 There is an argument that Lazio’s talismanic striker could be one of the most underrated players in world football over the last few years. Ciro Immobile, dubbed “King Ciro” by the supporters, has scored over 20 goals in five out of his last six seasons, a record only Messi, Ronaldo, and Lewandowski can better. Last season saw the Italian smash in another 27, becoming Lazio’s leading Serie A goalscorer in the process. In FIFA 23, it’s finally time for Immobile to move up to an 88 rating and be recognized among Europe’s elite where he belongs. Those were our predictions for the best Serie A players in FIFA 23!

FIFA 23 Serie A TOTS: Osimhen, Leao, Barella, more EA SportsFIFA 23’s Serie A Team of the Season is live in Ultimate Team, with some of the biggest stars in the game getting in. Here’s what you need to know. EA pulled out all of the stops for this year’s TOTS promo as it nears the final stage. A star-studded Premier League TOTS team delivered the likes of Erling Haaland, Marcus Rashford, and Mo Salah. Fans were then pleasantly surprised with the Bundesliga TOTS, dishing up juiced cards for Jude Bellingham, Msuiala, and Nkunku. Last week also gave players plenty of new cards to add to their teams. The Ligue 1 TOTS squad, featured Messi, Neymar, and Mbappe. In the final squad before the Ultimate TOTS, EA honored Italy’s top performers. Let’s jump right into who made the final cut. FIFA 23 Serie A TOTS revealed 98 Rafael Leao, 97 Victor Osimhen, and 96 Khvicha Kvaratskhelia immediately jump off the page when first looking at a stacked TOTS team. Osimhen led the Serie A with 25 goals, and Lautaro Martinez wasn’t too far behind, netting 21. Kvaratskhelia also played a key role in Napoli winning its first scudetto since 1989-90, scoring 10, and leading the league with 12 assists.

What are FIFA 23 Road to the World Cup cards? Based on the information shared by EA, FIFA 23 Road to the World Cup cards are awarded to the players from each nation who “inspired their run to the world’s stage.” Despite the name leading many to believe they would be live cards that increase in rating, in the same vein as Road to the Knockout, there doesn’t seem to be any opportunity for upgrades here. FIFA 23 Black Friday November 25 also happens to be Black Friday, which means Ultimate Team players will also be treated to a host of special deals to celebrate. FUT fans can expect lightning rounds of packs to open, as well as discounts on the store. There will also be a host of SBCs to complete, for both valuable packs and unique player items.

A couple of these brand-new cards have already appeared as Swaps rewards, but the remaining legends are set to debut once the promo goes live. World Cup Icons have the same Chemistry value as regular Icon items, but their ratings sit somewhere between their Mid and Prime versions to celebrate their contributions to past World Cups. Players can expect World Cup Icons to be some of FIFA 23’s most valuable items once they hit the market, so packing just one could change your FUT fortunes.

FIFA 23 Ultimate Team is off to a fast start, and EA have wasted no time in showering players with exciting promos. Ones to Watch kicked things off in style, while Road to the Knockouts brought the Champions League to this year’s game for the first time. But the next event is never too far away and now Rulebreakers has arrived to bring even more special cards to the game.

Rulebreakers will also be the first two-week promo of the season, so players can look forward to a second squad on Friday, October 21. What are FIFA 23 Rulebreakers cards? The Rulebreakers promo usually takes popular cards that may not be troubling the FUT meta and rearranges their stats to make them more usable. This often comes in the form of a major pace boost, but the idea is to completely change that card’s playstyle. In the past, we’ve seen sluggish target men turn into pacey strikers that like to run in behind, or attacking full-backs become solid defenders. FIFA 23 is expected to follow the same trend and conjure up some interesting options for FUT fans to add to their squad. FIFA 23 Rulebreakers player predictions FIFA 23 Rulebreakers is set to be one of the most unique promos of the year because of how drastically it changes the players involved. Given just how many cards there are on the FUT market, there’s plenty of potential for this event to include some meta stars. Here are our predictions for FIFA 23 Rulebreakers: Harry Kane (Spurs) – Jorginho (Chelsea) – Sergio Ramos (PSG) – Sergio Busquets (Barcelona) – Ciro Immobile (Lazio) – Seko Fofana (RC Lens) – Luis Diaz (Liverpool) – Mats Hummels (Borussia Dortmund) – Dusan Tadic (Ajax) – Toni Kroos (Real Madrid) – Paulo Dybala (Roma) – That was everything we know about FIFA 23 Rulebreakers so far.

FIFA 23 review: The last FIFA game is the most realistic ever FIFA 23 was always destined for the history books, as the final chapter in the world’s greatest football video game series, and it is definitely the most immersive sports title EA has ever made. It all started in 1993 with FIFA International Soccer on the SEGA Mega Drive. The players looked like something from Roblox, the ball wasn’t really a circular shape, and the animations were essentially a virtual replica of table football. That might sound terrible, yet it was the opening of a landmark era in gaming innovation. Historic additions to the FIFA series have followed. Hundreds of teams have been officially licensed, with thousands of players and managers face-scanned. A game that used to be a split-screen only, offline experience, now comprises Ultimate Team, VOLTA Football, Pro Clubs, Create A Club, Kick-Off, Seasons, and multiple options for Career Mode. 30 years on, Electronic Arts have delivered an experience that is closer to the beautiful game than ever before. “Cutting-edge HyperMotion technology” may have just sounded like buzzwords to the average player previously, but it’s starting to pay in dividends now. FIFA 23 key details Developer: EA SPORTS – Price: $59.99 / £59.99 – Release date: September 30, 2022 – Platforms: Xbox, PlayStation & PC – Gameplay is more realistic than ever FIFA 23 is as realistic as it gets. Players have unique running styles and shooting actions crafted exactly for their profile. A portfolio of thousands of new animations makes everything appear more natural and less predictable. Utilizing the latest version of last year’s HyperMotion technology, FIFA 23 feels closer to a simulator than an arcade experience. The pace of the game is also more realistic and balanced. Making inroads from a wide position on the halfway line towards the opposition goal feels to be a longer sprint than usual, and due to acceleration changes, defenders not blessed with pace can cope with speedy forwards. Slower attacking midfielders (take Bernardo Silva or Alexis Mac Allister, for example) can influence the game more with their agility on the ball. It all feels more balanced from a speed point of view. Long shots are thankfully harder to score and close-range efforts have fair success rates. Goalkeepers seem more capable, but can now be deceived by shooting early, or can have their vision obscured by other players. It makes them feel like a more active part of any match, rather than just an AI-controlled assist. The new power shot is extremely effective, although difficult to execute as it takes a moment to wind up. Despite this, having the camera zoom in during the animation is distracting, almost like a mini FIFA street game-breaker. It feels too gimmicky. Short passing in midfield, in particular, is not as fluid as it has been in previous games. You will have to consider your body position and first touch much more than usual to retain possession. This definitely isn’t a ‘me issue’ either, as my opponents online struggled similarly. Pass spamming when trying to clear your lines causes chaos. From a pressing standpoint, players will often collide and the ball will quickly change direction. These are minor things that the dev team’s fine-tuning tools can smoothen out. Career Mode In Career Mode, simple changes will really resonate with the single-player audience. Player Career has shades of the uber-popular MyCareer mode in NBA 2K, with more backstory, roleplaying, and social media integration. Player Personality is a new feature that lets you customize your player’s attributes through their own character type. Attributes are assigned through Maverick, Virtuoso, and Heartbeat actions. A Maverick, for example, might take the game by the scruff of the neck and go for goal, while a Heartbeat is more likely to find the pass to set up a teammate. This is tied to off-the-pitch actions like visiting an injured teammate or buying a new car, and while it feels like a solid progression from last year, it still lacks the pizazz of an NBA 2K style career path. In manager mode, I decided to play as Unai Emery and take over at Brighton & Hove Albion. That’s something you can choose to do this year or create your own gaffer. Each league has numerous face-scanned managers ready to choose from. The transfer experience adds a realistic touch with the addition of a transfer analyst. While this is retrospective, it gives you more information on player values, tips on how to improve transfer strategy, and can save you money with learnings on each move. Crucial and important signings will be met at the training ground by your staff. Your biggest sales will also be met with a goodbye cinematic, as well. Matchday production levels are at a series high. Some games will be given a pre-match showreel, showing both managers celebrating previous results and building hype for kick-off. There are also more camera angles for corner kicks, goal kicks, and goal celebrations – all nice touches. New “distance from goal” and “expected goal” overlays on match highlights are smart additions, too. Both player and manager Career modes now offer “Playable Highlights”, which let you play small vignettes of a full match. It’s a huge time-saver that still lets you have an impact on the game when you don’t want to play through an entire match. Ultimate Team monetization takes a step backward A pain point for many Ultimate Team players is always monetization. FIFA point pricing has changed to allow some tiers to include more points with a matching price rise. For example, the second highest tier in FIFA 22 was 4,600 points for $39.99. That has since been changed to 5,900 for $49.99. Two of the lower tiers were also scrapped, so there are fewer cheaper options in FIFA 23. Ultimate Team has new FUT Moments challenges where you can earn FUT stars, which can be spent on various packs. The three advanced Squad Building Challenges (Hybrid Leagues, Hybrid Nations, League & Nations Hybrid) have been given untradeable rewards this year, meaning you can’t profit in-game by selling the players you pack. While the change does give better pack prizes, cutting one of the most popular ways to earn in-game currency is a step backward. Now that you can’t build up early wealth using these SBCs, you can easily see a world where people are tempted to buy more FIFA Points. FIFA 23 review score: 8/10 FIFA 23 makes history as the most realistic football simulator in the series and with HyperMotion technology getting increasingly more impressive, the future looks bright for EA SPORTS FC. Some gameplay fine-tuning is needed to streamline things and the SBC change in Ultimate Team won’t be a welcome one, but there’s no denying this is a fun game to play. Reviewed on Xbox Series S

FIFA 23 Road to the Final: Full team, upgrades, more Graphics: EA SPORTSThe Road to the Final promo officially made its return for FIFA 23 Ultimate Team. So, here’s everything we know about this year’s installment of RTTF. FIFA Ultimate Team has been interlocked with the on-the-pitch results happening in the real world since 2009, but there have been increasingly more crossovers in the last few years. As EA SPORTS signed a partnership with UEFA to secure rights to the Champions League, Europa League, and Conference League, they’ve also popped up in FUT. We’ve already had the Road to the Knockouts promo in FIFA 23, and the Road to the Final followed up. So, with European action set to make a return, here’s everything you need to know about RTTF in FIFA 23. FIFA 23 Road to the Final team revealed On February 17, EA revealed the full Road to the Final team. UCL: Nuno Mendes (Paris Saint-Germain) – UCL: Roberto Firmino (Liverpool) – UCL: Giacomo Raspadori (Napoli) – UCL: Donyell Malen (Dortmund) – UCL: David Alaba (Real Madrid) – UCL: Leon Goretzka (Bayern Munich) – UCL: Wesley Fofana (Chelsea) – UCL: Nicolo Barella (Inter Milan) – UCL: Lucas Moura (Tottenham) – UEL: Gabriel Martinelli (Arsenal) – UEL: Anthony Martial (Manchester United) – UEL: Erik Lamela (Sevilla) – UEL: Ferran Torres (Barcelona) – UEL: Federico Chiesa (Juventus) – UEL: Kevin Volland (AS Monaco) – UEL: Juan Miranda (Real Betis) – UECL: Youcef Atal (Nice) – How does Road to the Final work in FIFA 23? The RTTF promo is a simple one to understand because it works exactly like Road to the Knockouts – just that there is potential for even higher-rated cards. As teams progress towards the final of their respective European competition, the RTTF cards will boost in ratings. It’s a plus one for progressing to the last 16, before the quarter-finals, semi-finals, and final represents a bigger upgrade – upwards of plus five.

FIFA 23 reveals Community TOTS: Bernardo Silva, Sanchez, Jesus, more EA SportsFIFA 23 kicked off the highly anticipated TOTS promo with the Community team. Here is everything you need to know about the first squad of juiced-up cards. After weeks of buildup and voting, Team of The Season is finally here. The fan-favorite promo celebrates the top performers from every major football league. FIFA 23 community members face a tough decision logging into Ultimate Team. Do players open their saved-up packs now or save them for a future TOTS squad? Some would argue players should focus all of their attention on the Premier League TOTS, which may feature the likes of Erling Haaland, Marcus Rashford, and Bukayo Saka. However, EA pulled out all of the stops for the Community TOTS, highlighting stars that flew under the radar in 2022/23. Without further ado, let’s take a look at who made the cut for FIFA 23’s first supercharged team. EA unveils star-studded FIFA 23 Community TOTS On April 28, TOTS started with the Community Team, featuring players that failed to receive more than one special card in FIFA 23. David De Gea: Manchester United – James Tavernier: Rangers – Nathan Ake: Manchester City – Andrew Robertson: Liverpool – Min Jae Kim: Napoli – Kingsley Coman: Bayern Munich – Khephren Thuram: OGC Nice – Bernardo Silva: Manchester City – Rodrygo: Real Madrid – Alexis Sanchez: Marseille – Gabriel Jesus: Arsenal – Danilo: Juventus – Declan Rice: West Ham United – Ismael Bennacer: AC Milan – Alvaro Morata: Athletico Madrid – Junya Ito: Stade Reims – Cameron Carter-Vickers: Celtic – Ramy Bensebaini: Borussia Monchengladbach – Fans can also expect to find Eredivise players in packs, as EA also unveiled the Eredivisie TOTS team. Some standout players include Xavi Simons, Steven Berwijn, and Dusan Tadic. EA did not reveal how long Community TOTS items will be in packs. Based on the TOTS schedule for FIFA 22, we expect the Premier League squad to come out next on Friday, May 5.

FIFA 23 stability issues strangely tied to PS5’s friends list EAFIFA 23 players on PS5 began experiencing crashing issues after Title Update 12; apparently, the system’s friends list may be the problem. Title Update 12 for FIFA 23 recently went live on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S. The update addressed several known issues, including those connected to visuals, audio, and FIFA Ultimate Team. In addition, TU 12 also tackled multiple stability issues. Recent reports from players on PS5, however, insist the latest patch introduced some stability-related errors, as well. Fortunately, EA developers have publicly acknowledged the problem, though a surefire solution has yet to arrive. But there is a temporary workaround, one that’s bound to have some folks scratching their heads in confusion. PS5’s FIFA 23 stability issues have been linked to popularity A Twitter post from the FIFA Director Communication account confirms developers are investigating the player-reported crashes on PS5. While the investigation continues, the team has identified one workaround that should ensure users can launch FIFA 23 without a problem. Apparently, the solution requires PS5 owners to reduce their “friends list to 100 or less friends and re-launch the game.” Responses to the above Twitter post suggest this particular fix isn’t working as intended. One FIFA player wrote, “Any updates on this? Deleted my friends list and still not working.” Several people replied to the user saying FIFA 23 continues crashing for them as well, even after reducing their friends list on PS5. This is certainly a strange occurrence, but it’s not the first time a PlayStation user’s friends list has impacted their ability to enjoy FIFA. In 2016, many players reported encountering an issue in FIFA 16 wherein they were unable to unlock the “Friendship Test” Trophy. Comments in a PSNProfiles thread claimed the solution rested in dropping their number of friends down to 50 or less. It seems some things never change.

FIFA 23 pro reports opponent over racist team name targeting Vinicius Jr EA SPORTSA pro FIFA 23 player reported another user for targeting Real Madrid star Vincius Jr with a racist Ultimate Team name. FIFA 23 Ultimate Team gives players complete control. Users can create teams using their favorite footballers, jerseys, stadiums, badges, and more. The mode also allows players to create their own team name. The freedom Ultimate Team provides doesn’t come without its risks. EA restricts the use of offensive language in their team names, but that hasn’t fully prevented players from abusing the system. A FIFA 23 players was able to slip through the cracks and use an offensive name targeting Vincius Jr, and a pro player urged the developers to take action. FIFA 23 pro player reports player for using racist team name Following a May 21 match against Real Madrid, Valencia banned a fan for life for making racist gestures at Vincius Jr. The club is still working with authorities to ban other individuals involved in the racial abuse. While loading into an Ultimate team match, a FIFA 23 pro, SpiderKong, noticed that the opponent named their team “Monicius Jr,” and the Valencia badge. Mono translates to monkey in Spanish. SpiderKong responded: “Guys, did you see the team name of this sicko? He is using the Valencia crest and the name Monicius Jr. I am going to report this son of a b**ch after the game. This son of a b**ch has to be banned.” Racist acts directed at Vincius Jr are an ongoing issue in Spain. On May 23, CNN reported that seven people were arrested in relation to incidents of racist abuse directed at the Brazilian forward. Spanish police detained four men for allegedly hanging an effigy of Vinicius Jr off a bridge, and three others were arrested on suspicion of being involved in the racist gestures in the Valencia match. At the time of writing, it’s unclear whether or not this player has been banned.

FIFA 23 promo schedule EA SPORTS never outlines a complete line-up of promos that will feature in Ultimate Team, instead opting to surprise players with an announcement just days before each one begins. That being said, there are a number of staples that show up every year and at a similar time.

FIFA 23 Pro Clubs players pen open letter to EA over cross-play decision EA SPORTSEA SPORTS is facing some strong opposition from Pro Clubs players after they found out how cross-play will work in FIFA 23. FIFA 23 will be launching with cross-platform play, meaning that some friend groups that have long been split across PlayStation and Xbox will finally have a chance to cross paths. However, for many Pro Clubs fans, the devil is in the detail. It will work across Ultimate Team’s competitive modes, Online Seasons, VOLTA Football – but not Pro Clubs. The announcement has prompted a strong response from passionate players. FIFA 23 Pro Clubs players furious over cross-play A letter, posted by an account called #SaveProClubs, has demanded answers about the decision. “We demand an explanation as to why you have yet again opted to overlook and bypass Pro Clubs from your cross-play game modes,” the frank letter reads, referencing Pro Clubs being omitted from the cross-play program for FIFA 22 when it was first implemented. Many players hoped that its addition in the previous game, without Pro Clubs, was for testing purposes – before being rolled out across all modes. However, the developers have confirmed 1v1 play will take priority, such as Ultimate Team. “Come out and give the players who have been loyal to your mode, put in thousands of hours playing, and thousands more making external communities to keep a buzz around it, an answer” it continues. “If not, you will begin to see the game mode collapse. People were pinning their last hopes on FIFA 23 being the one to give them their spark back, cross-play would have done that. “For a lot of people, you could have re-released FIFA 22, stuck a FIFA 23 logo on it, added cross-play and you would more than likely have gotten a “free hit” year from the community… Now? You’re going to see this mode from off more.” Whether or not this will prompt a response from the developers, in the form of public comment or a future addition for EA SPORTS FC, remains to be seen.

FIFA 23 Premier League TOTS: Haaland, De Bruyne, Rashford, more EA SPORTS/Premier LeagueFIFA 23’s Premier League Team of the Season is live in Ultimate Team, with some of the biggest stars in the game getting in. Here’s what you need to know. You know we’re closing in on the end of the domestic football season when EA SPORTS starts up the annual Team of the Season promo in FIFA Ultimate Team. This year’s installment is no different, with FIFA 23 players being able to vote on a number of TOTS squads already. The promo started back at the end of April and, as usual, the Community TOTS was the first to be released. Shortly after that, the voting for the Premier League Team of the Season was set live, with the likes of Erling Haaland, Bukayo Saka, Kevin De Bruyne, and Marcus Rashford all being nominated for an end-of-season upgrade. The voting for that has now closed, and here’s who made the cut. FIFA 23 Premier League TOTS release date & time The Premier League TOTS launched on Friday, May 5 at 6 PM GMT. This means that the Community squad is no longer available, with the Premier League starlets filling up packs. Unlike Team of the Year, these cards don’t get released in batches. All the winners of the fan vote will be released at once, meaning packs will be a bit of a free-for-all. We’re also expecting a supplemental set of cards from a smaller league to be released at the same time – or possibly on Tuesday, May 9. This will be a smaller set of cards too and not the 11 or so that come with the Premier League. FIFA 23 Premier League TOTS revealed Here is the official Premier League TOTS squad. Haaland, Saka, De Bruyne, and Mo Salah are the obvious standout names in a team dominated by Arsenal and Manchester City players. Goalkeepers Aaron Ramsdale (Arsenal) – Defenders Kieran Trippier (Newcastle United) – Oleksandr Zinchenko (Arsenal) – Ruben Dias (Manchester City) – William Saliba (Arsenal) – Reece James (Chelsea) (TOTS Moments) – Raphael Varane (Manchester United) (TOTS Moments) – Midfielders Casemiro (Manchester United) – Bruno Guimaraes (Newcastle United) – Kevin De Bruyne (Manchester City) – Martin Odegaard (Arsenal) – Forwards Bukayo Saka (Arsenal) – Mohamed Salah (Liverpool) – Marcus Rashford (Manchester United) – Gabriel Martinelli (Arsenal) – Erling Haaland (Manchester City) – Harry Kane (Spurs) – Son Heung-min (Spurs) (TOTS Moments) – Make sure to check back and check out our Team of the Season hub for more information on the TOTS promo.

FIFA 23 Pro Clubs new features: Skill games, new level cap, tattoos, more EA SPORTSFIFA 23 Pro Clubs is bringing a number of major changes that the community has been calling for, including the ability to ink your player with tattoos. Here’s every new feature coming to FIFA 23 Pro Clubs. Although Career Mode and Ultimate Team tend to be the marquee modes in FIFA every year, Pro Clubs has a strong and committed community that is always hungry for new features. While many may have been disappointed that FIFA 23 Pro Clubs won’t feature crossplay support at launch, EA has listened to feedback in other areas and made a host of important changes to the mode. We’ve broken down everything new in FIFA 23 Pro Clubs below, from skill games to an increased level cap. Contents FIFA 23 Pro Clubs skill games – FIFA 23 Pro Clubs x Volta shared seasons – FIFA 23 Pro Clubs tattoos – FIFA 23 Pro Clubs level cap – FIFA 23 Pro Clubs accolades – FIFA 23 Pro Clubs skill games Assembling the troops for a match can be tricky sometimes, so FIFA 23 Pro Clubs lets players take part in skill games to pass the time. These will feel familiar to anyone who has played Career Mode, putting Pros through their paces in a number of drills related to shooting, passing, dribbling, and more. There will be 66 to complete in total, each of which dishes out XP to help level up your player. There will be an XP cap in place each week to prevent clubs from spamming skill games to boost their stats too quickly, and you can compare your scores with other members of the club through an in-game leaderboard. FIFA 23 Pro Clubs x Volta shared seasons Much like the season progress feature used in Ultimate Team, FIFA 23 Pro Clubs will share a progression system with Volta. This means that playing matches in either mode earns points that can be spent on new cosmetics. These can range from authentic new boots to quirky face paints to make your Pro stand out. However, some unlocks will be Volta exclusive, as they will play into the more over-the-top style of that mode. Seasons will refresh regularly, bringing even rewards for players to grind for. FIFA 23 Pro Clubs tattoos Among the new cosmetics that can be applied in FIFA 23 Pro Clubs are tattoos, a feature that players have been calling for ever since they were added to the game’s real-life players. Players will be able to give their Pros extra personality by plastering their arms with ink. While a handful will be available from the start, extra designs will be unlockable by earning points in either Pro Clubs or Volta, with even more coming with each new season. FIFA 23 Pro Clubs level cap One of the common complaints in last year’s Pro Clubs was how slow progression seemed to be, with what felt like weeks going by without any new Skill Points being awarded. This is set to change in FIFA 23, as the level cap has been increased to make improving players more rewarding. The maximum level has been upped from 25 to 100, meaning that the levels will roll by at a much faster rate, especially in the early weeks. Each new level will provide you with skill points as always, but thanks to the higher cap boosting stats won’t feel like as much of a chore. Perks will also be unlocked much earlier than in FIFA 22, so players won’t feel underpowered for anywhere near as long. FIFA 23 Pro Clubs accolades Pro Clubs is all about teamwork, but it’s also about friendly competition with your friends as you look to be the team’s star man. In FIFA 23, Pro Clubs players will be given even more feedback on how they’ve performed than ever before. The new accolades feature will shine a light on the unsung heroes by highlighting them at the end of a match. Once the final whistle blows, awards will be dished out to those who made the biggest impact for all to see. These included the player who made the passes or the defender that made the most important tackles.

FIFA 23 Premier League rating predictions: Top 10 players ranked EA SportsEA SPORTS FIFA 23 is expected to hand out many high-rated cards to Premier League superstars – and here, we’re going to predict the top 10 players and their overall. Many now refer to the Premier League as the best league in the world and you’d be hard-pushed to disagree. Each season, the league is the recipient of many high-rated cards, and there’s bound to be no exception in FIFA 23, especially as a bunch of new world-class talents have arrived in the Summer 2022 transfer window. With the likes of Mohamed Salah having yet another incredible season for his club and Kevin De Bruyne showing why he’s probably the best midfielder on the planet, here are our FIFA 23 Premier League rating predictions – ranking the best 10 players. Note: Obviously, these are just predictions for now, and EA can sometimes be unpredictable when it comes to player ratings, so we’ll update this list once we know the full extent of the Premier League’s top players. Some on the list also may change team as the transfer window is still open. FIFA 23 Premier League ratings: Top 10 player predictions 10. Trent Alexander-Arnold: 87 -> 88 It’s hard to believe that Trent Alexander-Arnold is still only 23 years old. He has multiple trophies to his name, countless clean sheets, and last season he provided 2 goals and a ridiculous 19 assists from right-back for Liverpool. He continues to be the most dangerous attacking defender in all of world football and we think EA will rightly reward him with a +1 upgrade to take him up to an 88 overall, or maybe higher. 9. Erling Haaland: 88 -> 89 The Norwegian assassin has finally made his way to the Premier League and Man City has landed themselves, potentially, the best pure center-forward in the world. Before his move to Man City, despite several injuries, Haaland has already bagged himself 40 goals in 2022, including 22 goals in 24 league games for Borussia Dortmund. He’s quick, strong, lethal with either foot, and he could be a deadly proposition for Man City in the 22/23 season. 8. Cristiano Ronaldo: 91 -> 89 It says a lot when Ronaldo only scores 24 goals in all competitions for Manchester United and he’s still had a great season, such were the problems the team faced last season. Ronaldo continues to prove that his age is merely a number and he can still put away 20+ goals a season. He will be 38 during the upcoming season and injuries are starting to affect Ronaldo a bit more, we expect CR7 to remain one of the league’s best players if he stays at Manchester United, but he might take a slight dip in rating. 7. Virgil Van Dijk: 89 -> 90 Let’s face it, the only reason Van Dijk was downgraded for FIFA 22 was because he missed practically the entire 20/21 season through injury. So to only drop 1 rating speaks volumes about the man’s ability. After a full season under his belt, two trophies in the bag, and 20 clean sheets accumulated for Liverpool in the league, the joint-most with Man City, big Virg was back to his elite best. He may even get a +2 upgrade, but he was helped out by fellow Liverpool stalwarts Joel Matip and Ibrahima Konate. So it’ll probably be a solid +1 to get him back in the 90 club. 6. Harry Kane: 90 -> 90 Harry Kane registered 27 goals for Tottenham Hotspur in the 21/22 season, but 6 were in the Europa Conference League, and the talismanic England forward would actually end up being outshone by fellow forward, Heung-Min Son. However, he made vital contributions to the team throughout the season and finished it quite strongly to get Spurs into the Champion’s League. On his day, Kane is as clinical as anyone and has worked assists into his game now. Don’t be surprised to see him maintain his mammoth 90 rating as he looks to return to his goalscoring best in FIFA 23. 5. Mohamed Salah: 89 -> 90 As for Mo Salah’s rating drop in Fifa 22, it’s anyone’s guess. Salah has clearly shrugged off this downgrade by answering back with a thrilling season in Liverpool’s memorable, quadruple-chasing journey. Despite the goals drying up after Christmas, Salah still netted an impressive 31 goals in all competitions and registered 16 assists. Easily another player that could get a +2, but it’ll all come down to the discretion of EA for FIFA 23. 4. Alisson Becker: 89 -> 90 20 clean sheets for Alisson represented an amazing Premier League season for a resolute Liverpool defense in which they only conceded 26 goals in 38 games. Alisson is never one for pulling off wonder saves as his positioning and goalkeeping acumen are excellent and means he generally doesn’t need to. We expect him to be restored to his 90-rating from FIFA 21 as he looks to build on last season and try to claim the Golden Glove for himself. 3. Ederson: 89 -> 90 You could pretty much just copy and paste all the above for Ederson here as the Brazilian shotstopper continues to match Alisson practically stride for stride as the two goalkeepers continue to vie for the spot of the world’s number one goalkeeper. The Premier League is expected to be another dogfight between Liverpool and Man City and Ederson will be vying for that spot in the best XI come the end of the season. 2. Heung-Min Son: 89 -> 90 Son’s second half of the season was incredible as the Tottenham forward seemed to flourish under Antonio Conte, finishing as the Premier League Golden Boot joint winner. Along with a few assists as well, Son has seemingly grown tired of the ‘underrated’ tag and forced his way into the spotlight. He arguably outshone Harry Kane and we think it’s time Son earns the respect he deserves and finally joins the 90 club. 1. Kevin De Bruyne: 90 -> 91 Manchester City’s unreal midfield maestro has been named the Premier League’s best player for two years running and his goals, assists, and all-around play helped City to snatch the Premier League title away from Liverpool in a dramatic final day comeback against Aston Villa. Even though City didn’t claim any other silverware, De Bruyne’s individual season was full of countless Man of the Match performances, particularly his 4-goal haul against Wolves on May 11, 2022. Those were our predictions for the best Premier League players in FIFA 23!

The Premier League boasts superstars from top to bottom of the League. 40 players are eligible to earn a spot in this year’s TOTS, and this season’s crop of talent makes it a difficult vote.

How to do FIFA 23 power shots: Step-by-step shooting guide EA SPORTSEA SPORTS has added a new high-risk, high-reward shooting mechanic. Here, we’ll show you how to perform the power shot in FIFA 23. The developers revealed a gameplay deep dive on July 27, going over all the new changes coming in FIFA 23. most notably, set pieces, skill moves, and defending received overhauls. This is the last installment before the series undergoes a rebranding to EA SPORTS FC. Players are expecting the developers to go out with a bang and make it a game to remember. With that being said, power shots could mark a massive change in how players approach attacking. Let’s see how it works… What are power shots in FIFA 23? EA describes power shots as a shot that add accuracy and power, at the cost of time and more input precision. FIFA 21 added timed finishing, and the mechanic acts similarly. Players shoot more accurately and score from tighter angles at the cost of precision button presses. Timed finishing was a complex skill to master, but if perfectly executed it will massively raise your chance of scoring goals. Power shots may be hard to learn at first, but the reward will most likely be worth it. How to do a power shot in FIFA 23 To perform a power shot, press L1+R1+O on Playstation controllers and LB+RB+B on Xbox controllers. However, EA warns that plenty of space around the ball carrier is usually needed, as the shot requires a windup. Power shots rely heavily on accurate aiming, so players must aim more precisely than a regular assisted shot. EA stated: “Our intent with the addition of the power shots is to introduce an additional layer of skill to shooting.” What does a FIFA 23 power shot look like? EA shared a video of the power shot in action, which looks devastating if pulled off correctly. Make sure to follow our full FIFA 23 coverage until the game’s official release on September 30.

FIFA 23 players slam broken $90 Day One edition: “Money first, people second” EA SportsFIFA 23 players have been left fuming with the state of the game on day one with fans furious over the servers which have been described as “shambles.” The Ultimate Edition of FIFA 23 provides players with 3-Day Early Access, a ton of FIFA Points to use in the game’s popular Ultimate Team mode, and various other benefits. However, despite the allure of being able to play the game much earlier, there are generally always issues in the first couple of days, and FIFA 23 has proven to be no exception. Extreme server issues and stability problems have left FIFA players frustrated as the Ultimate Edition of the game costs significantly more than the base game, resulting in players asking for compensation. FIFA 23 players slam broken Ultimate Team servers “Servers being down this long makes Ultimate Edition and Early Access a bit of a joke for those that paid for it,” was the title of one clearly angry FIFA 23 Reddit post. The user would go on to say that they “Lost 3 World Class SB matches that I won and then it disconnected before I realized servers were down” and also that the Ultimate Edition “Wasnt worth £83.” This equates to $90 and it starts to become clear why so many of the player base is angry over the problems. The majority of commenters on the post were unanimous in their disapproval of the state of the game already: “So many people finishing days at work/school and genuinely looking forward to FIFA as an escape for the full night and greeted to this. Guarantee they won’t do one thing about either. Sorry to everyone who was looking forward to it!” one user said. Whereas another user chimed in: “Mate it’s EA games. Money first, people second.” Interestingly, it’s not just casual players who are exasperated over the situation as popular FIFA YouTuber and streamer Jack McDermott AKA PieFace also chimed in: “Rival down again, servers a shambles, price ranges a joke. I think it’s fair to say if you bought FIFA 23 for early access there really should be some sort of compensation for players.” This is quite the statement from a highly respected member of the FIFA community and it does seem like a fair point given that people have paid to play a game early that isn’t working. EA has been known to compensate players for issues that have occurred to them and this can be in the form of a free FUT Draft Token or even free packs — we’ll have to wait and see.

FIFA 23 players slam EA over mistakenly released Ultimate Team Hero packs EA SportsFIFA 23 players have slammed developers EA after a tradeable guaranteed FUT Hero pack was released on the Ultimate Team store for just 25,000 coins, leading to some players making or losing vast amounts. FUT Heroes are eminently desirable in Ultimate Team, especially at such an early stage of the game’s life cycle. While prices vary massively, they are league-based players who, at one point or another, tore it up for a specific club. Tim Cahill, for example, sells for around 85,000 to 90,000 FUT coins. Others, though, like David Ginola, sell regularly for over 2,000,000 coins. That’s why players were so baffled when, on October 8, a tradeable 25k guaranteed Hero pack dropped onto the store. Naturally, players flocked to it and purchased it as soon as possible. EA realized the mistake promptly and the pack was removed within minutes. However, the damage was done. Some players stocking up on Heroes for trading purposes lost hundreds of thousands of coins as prices plummeted while others, who got players worth millions of coins in a 25k pack, made similarly eye watering amounts. EA are yet to comment on the issues but, understandably, players are far from happy. Some, who lost large amounts of coins, hit out at the devs for their negligence. One Redditor said: “So not only did I miss buying the hero pack for 25k but now all my team are gone down in value? Cheers EA.” Another said: “Imagine having millions of coins invested in heroes LMAO. Crazy how incompetent this company is.” A third commented: “They’ve ruined the integrity of the entire market. This glitch will have lasting effects. Many people will have just got hundreds of thousands of coins for nothing, either from packing a hero or buying a hero as they dipped and then reselling it. Anyone who couldn’t play during that 15 minute period will be permanently disadvantaged.” Many continue to wait for further information from EA and are eager for compensation (or grateful at the hundreds of thousands of coins they have as a result).

FIFA 23 players racially abuse pro because he was in their TOTS packs EA SPORTSA football star for Peterborough United was racially abused on Instagram after a couple of FIFA 23 players were furious over getting him in a TOTS pack. FIFA is one of the most competitive sports games in the world, and as such, everyone wants to unlock the best players. However, some fans attack the player they get in their packs instead of blaming EA or RNG when they miss out on a top footballer. That’s exactly what happened to Jonson Clarke-Harris, the joint lead-scorer in League One, who revealed that he had been targeted with a barrage of racial abuse – all over a FIFA pack. On June 28, the Peterborough United captain posted a couple of screenshots to his Instagram condemning the attacks he was receiving by FIFA players. Football player racially abused over his appearance in FIFA 23 In one post, screengrabbed by fanbanter, the striker showed how a fan slid into his DMs to send racial insults. “F**k get out of my TOTS pack, I hate you,” the user wrote, following that up with a slew of monkey emojis. “Why are you even a TOTS?” asked another, who proceeded to unleash a tirade of racist remarks. Clarke-Harris explained that he didn’t like sharing the profane comments, because a lot of minors follow him, but felt like he needed to expose those who were targeting him. “There becomes a point where these people need to be exposed, and everyone needs to understand the level of racism me and other ethnic players receive over a football game,” he said. It’s unknown if EA will take action by banning the players’ profiles or if the developer can find out their accounts through the Instagram pages shared by the Peterborough United star.

FIFA 23 players report major bugs as World Cup rewards finally drop EA SportsFIFA 23 players are reporting major problems with their Ultimate Team World Cup rewards after EA released them to some players in-game. FIFA 23’s World Cup promo is among the most memorable in-game events we’ve seen. From ‘Phenom’ players to ‘Path to Glory’, some truly incredible Ultimate Team cards were dropped as the football action occurred in Qatar. Now, EA have begun handing out players’ rewards for their efforts across the promo. The end-of-event rewards correspond to how many World Cup players FUT fans have managed to accumulate, with the best rewards naturally reserved for those who have the most to trade in. However, FIFA 23 players quickly reported a number of issues with their rewards after they were made available in-game. FIFA 23 World Cup rewards are bugged for some players In a January 4 Reddit post, a number of FUT players chimed in to share the issues they’ve been experiencing with their rewards. One player said: “They seem bugged here. On console, you get an error message when you try and claim, and then the World Cup option disappears from the FUT Home page. If you exit FUT and re-enter, the same thing happens.” A second reported identical problems while trying to redeem their rewards via mobile. Others reported glitches in the appearance of their rewards, with packs displaying incorrectly. “[I] just get an error message and then they’re not there, unsurprising but annoying,” another commented. Some who experienced the issues did say that trying to redeem them via the FUT Web App ultimately worked for them, so it’s worth giving that a go if they’re proving elusive in-game. If you got some top-tier rewards, you might want to consider saving them for the upcoming Team of the Year promo, which is expected in the coming days. Voting for TOTY is also expected soon.

FIFA 23 players hit out at EA over unexplained FUT Centurions nerf EA SportsFIFA 23 Ultimate Team players have hit out at developers EA after a secret and unexplained nerf to FUT Centurions Zlatan Ibrahimovic caused the card’s market price to plummet. Update January 18, 08:00 EST / 13:00 GMT: EA have released a hot fix and confirmed that the changes were made inadvertently. They tweeted: “We have addressed an issue where some of the Attributes were appearing differently for some Centurion Player Items.” There has been no mention of compensation for players affected by the price fluctuations. The original article is as follows. FUT Centurions is the latest promo to hit FIFA 23, with a host of cards released to celebrate players to have hit a century milestone in one form or another. Whether it’s 100 appearances for a certain club or 100 goals in a certain league, a massive variety of players across Europe have been recognized for their achievements in real-world football. One card at the more expensive end of the promo is Zlatan Ibrahimovic, the world-renowned striker known for his skillfulness and continuing defiance of his age. However, on January 18, it became clear that the FUT Centurions Ibrahimovic had received a monumental and unexplained nerf. FUT Centurions Ibrahimovic given “unacceptable” secret nerf The changes were highlighted on Reddit and Twitter. On the latter, FIFA YouTuber Zweback said: “Public Service Announcement. Ibra’s stamina just got nerfed from 85 to 61 and his agility from 85 to 76. WTAF??????????” A similar post on Reddit also found that his balance was reduced by 24 points, falling from 82 to 58. No explanation for the changes has, at the time of writing, been provided by EA. Speculation has suggested it’s a bug on EA’s end, while others have (without evidence) suggested that EA do this to a number of cards and have just accidentally made the changes visible on Ibrahimovic. One said: “Someone messed up badly. These post-promo nerfs are supposed to stay hidden.” Another described the changes as “unacceptable” and called for EA to address them rapidly. Whatever the reasons for the changes, fans have been left incredibly unimpressed, with the card’s price plummeting from around 3 million coins to roughly 2.2 million at the time of writing. As a result, players who invested in Ibrahimovic or purchased him recently are nearly 1 million coins out of pocket. Unfortunately, there is a precedent for such errors affecting the market. Back in October, a guaranteed tradeable FUT Hero pack was released for 25,000 coins, causing a huge slump in the market and many players to lose millions of coins. EA did not officially respond, but some support staff confirmed players would not be formally compensated. Here’s hoping this is not a repeat and is just a small bug that can be quickly reverted.

FIFA 23 players bash Ultimate Team chemistry system over lack of creativity EA SPORTSFIFA 23 introduces a new chemistry system, and players are not very receptive to the massive change. Instead of the usual chemistry lines FIFA players grew accustomed to, chemistry no longer works on a number out of 100. Instead, players have individual requirements based on three thresholds; league, country, and club. The change is one of the largest in FIFA history and is sure to take time for players to adjust to. EA advertised the new chemistry system as a way to grant players more freedom when crafting their dream team. Unfortunately, some FIFA 23 players believe that the system has had an inverse effect, making squad building more “restrictive” than ever. FIFA 23 players criticize new chemistry system The FIFA 23 beta launched on August 12. The closed beta offers players an early look at Ultimate Team and other game modes. A Reddit user asked if “going back to the old chemistry system would be the best way to have creative teams.” One player responded, “the new chem system requires too much (3 of league or nation) whereas before, only one other player could be enough. It seems sort of strange as it is a huge step back.” A second user argued, “After playing the beta, it feels like I’m being forced to play certain nations or leagues.” Players criticized the new system for being overcomplicated and cumbersome when trying to build a squad. Before, players could get full chemistry with just one strong link between players, but in FIFA 23, it could take up to three additional players, if not more. A third user responded, “This new system is hilariously convoluted. This is truly an instance where they got Chemistry right the first time. FIFA 23 does not officially release until September 30, so we won’t know until then if this feature accomplishes its goal.

FIFA 23 players furious over Ultimate Team position changes EA SportsEA attempted to simplify position changing in FIFA 23, but some players believe the rework may have backfired. The FIFA 23 Web App launched on September 21, giving players their first opportunity to test the waters. Unfortunately, the Web App didn’t launch without issues. Users reported problems logging into the service, and EA is investigating the matter. FIFA 23 adds a few features changing the way Ultimate Team functions. Most notably, the new chemistry and position change systems present new challenges for purchasing cards and building SBCs. EA implemented these changes to streamline tedious tasks and give players more freedom in building teams, but their actions had unintended consequences, and players are furious. FIFA 23 players blast new position change system A frustrated FIFA 23 player created a thread on Reddit, voicing their concerns over the new FIFA 23 position change system. FIFA 23 introduces secondary positions specific to each player. For example, Kylian Mbappe plays ST, CF, or LW. Instead of buying a ST to CF card like in previous iterations of FIFA, players only need to buy one position modifier card for any position change. On paper, the change cuts out several tedious steps of changing a player’s position, but out-of-position players no longer contribute chemistry, and position modifier cards are expensive due to there only being one option. One FIFA player offered a solution, “they should have done it like it’s on FUTBIN, so the players automatically get the position you put them in and remove the position modifier completely.” A second player responded, “unfortunately, they need a bunch of useless items to fill out their packs.” “The position modifiers will end up being fairly cheap, but that itself helps the argument they shouldn’t exist,” another FIFA player argued, We will have a better idea of the item’s price on the transfer market once FIFA 23 officially releases on September 30.

FIFA 23 players discover unlimited FUT coin exploit right before EA FC EA SPORTSFIFA 23 players uncovered a method to earn unlimited coins in Ultimate Team just weeks before EA FC 24’s release. Some community members have already completed their FIFA 23 Ultimate Team road to glories and built an end-game starting 11. Previously unimaginable SBCs, such as 99 overall Messi and Ronaldo have never been easier to complete thanks to players being able to repeat 84×10 and 85×10 upgrades. For a brief moment, FIFA 23 players declared the game “finished” as EA temporarily removed both fan-favorite upgrade SBCs. However, both SBCs returned, injecting some much-needed life before EA FC 24 releases worldwide. But now with just over a week remaining before EA FC 24 Ultimate Edition owners get their hands on the upcoming game, it’s been harder than ever to find motivation to boot up FIFA 23. That was until community members stumbled across an exploit that awards unlimited Ultimate Team coins. FIFA 23 infinite coin glitch explained On September 13, WeaverFUT posted an infinite coin glitch for FIFA 23 Ultimate Team. As shown in the video, all players need to do is quick sell any player, and they get the coins along with keeping the player. It is important to take this information with a grain of salt, and as with any exploit, we don’t advise players participating at the risk of a ban. Community members expressed doubt in the comments over the method’s validity. One player responded: “He’s definitely getting banned.” A second user added: “What’s the point of risking a ban one week ahead of the next FIFA though? Imagine him getting permanently banned now.” Other community members believe that the exploit has already been patched. A third commenter claimed: “They have fixed it now, I think though.” It remains to be seen if this FIFA 23 exploit still works or is even worth the risk.

FIFA 23 players demand urgent FUT Champs fix over “invisible team” hack EA SportsFIFA 23 community members are urging players to turn off cross-play as a surge in cheaters plagues Ultimate Team. EA introduced a new anti-cheat (EAAC) in FIFA 23 to crack down on PC cheating problems. The system was designed to prevent external files and software from being injected into the game. Third-party applications should have no way to alter the game, but cheaters still found a way around the new feature. In October, FIFA 23 players flamed the anti-cheat for allowing cheaters to kick players from games. A cheating service surfaced online, claiming to offer players the ability to alter player stats, teleport and freeze the ball, and gift instant wins. FIFA on PC has a long history of cheating concerns, but some community members believe the issue has reached unprecedented heights. FIFA 23 players blast invisible FUT Champs glitch A FIFA 23 player showed video evidence of a cheater using an invisible team in a Weekend League match. The cheater’s entire team turned invisible, making it impossible for the opposing player to attack or defend. Using the glitch, the cheater easily stole the ball and scored a quick goal. The user who posted the clip also claims they were disconnected from the match after the first goal. One user responded, “the anti-cheat is so bad. It only really works when it’s PC vs. PC. When it is PC vs. console, and the PC user is hacking, it allows them to get away with it.” A second player added, “This is so annoying to see. I don’t get why people need to cheat on a football game.” Community members urged console players to turn off cross-play so they won’t come up against cheaters on PC. A third player claimed, “turning off cross-play improved my experience a decent bit,” so it might be worth investigating that if you are running into invisible teams. We will provide an update if the developers address the cheating situation.

FIFA 23 players discover EA mistake with meta lengthy AcceleRATE trait EA SportsFIFA 23 players have discovered an EA mistake which may stop players from being able to make their players ‘lengthy’, as the meta pace trait continues to dominate Ultimate Team. Since FIFA 23 dropped at the end of September, the entire Ultimate Team community has clamored over the lengthy pace trait, part of the new AcceleRATE gameplay mechanic. While there are some players who have it naturally as a result of their stature and in-game stats, other players can be made ‘lengthy’ with the right chemistry style. This makes them strong, hard to dispossess and, in a number of players’ opinions, better. This is because chemistry styles boost certain attributes but, on October 5, players noticed an issue over the specific requirements to make a player lengthy. EA error with lengthy AcceleRATE trait In FIFA 23’s first official patch notes, English-speaking players noticed that the official EA notes stated a 14 rating difference between Strength and Agility is needed to achieve a ‘lengthy’ rating. However, the German version of the pitch notes displayed the values differently, stating that cards must have Strength that is 15 rating points or higher than their Agility rating. As such, players have been left confused over the exact requirements of making their players lengthy. It seems that the original notion of a 14 stat difference is incorrect, explaining why some players have been left unable to make their cards lengthy despite meeting the apparent requirements. In short, it appears that players have to achieve a 15 rating difference between Strength and Agility. It makes it slightly harder for cards to become lengthy if they are not naturally but, as was the case before, an Architect chemistry style is the most reliable way to boost the card (offering up to a +15 Strength bonus) and get you that desired meta AcceleRATE trait.

FIFA 23 players claim Title Update 4 has “ruined” Ultimate Team matches EAFIFA 23 have criticized the game’s most recent patch, Title Update 4, claiming it has “ruined” the standard Ultimate Team match and undone this year’s focus on realism. FIFA 23’s fourth major update went live on November 16. Title Update 4 changed many aspects of this year’s football simulation title, but the most notable changes went towards weakening outside-of-the-foot shots and buffing semi-assisted through balls. However, now that players have been able to get hands-on experience with the new gameplay, responses have largely criticized the changes and claimed it has “ruined” the slower, more realistic, and tactical feel FIFA 23 was able to generate. FIFA 23 Title Update 4 blasted by players Plenty of FIFA fans flocked to the game’s subreddit to lament the changes, arguing it has returned FIFA to a game based around pace. Previously, slower and stronger ‘lengthy’ players were considered meta, in a welcome departure from the franchise’s emphasis on pace. One player claimed it returned FIFA to the same formula as the last 4 years, saying: “[It] was refreshing and enjoyable to have a FIFA title that you could use Tall & Strong players in an effective way, along with the smaller more agile players… Unfortunately (and rather predictably) the game has been patched and gone backwards, not forwards. It’s the same boring stale meta of FUT from the past.” Another said the changes have “ruined” the game, explaining: “It is just through ball 99 pace player run after it, shoot score everything. That’s not rewarding. Before the patch it was nice to manually defend this plays. Now, it’s just sitting back hoping to not get a player in behind.” However, some players did welcome the shift in meta, arguing that it keeps FIFA titles fresh and forces players to adapt. “I can actually pull off a smart dribble move,” one fan said, “and use a sprint boost to get past my opponent, rather than just getting trucked every time I touch the ball. This feels like actual FIFA again.” Of course, EA will never be able to please everyone but it does seem that many think the Title Update 4 has missed the mark in terms of finding a balance between slow, strong players and rapid, tricky wingers.

FIFA 23 players declare game “finished” as devs remove fan favorite SBC EA SportsEA temporarily removed the 84×10 and 85×10 SBCs in FIFA 23, causing community members to give up on the game entirely. EA Sports FC 24 launches worldwide on September 29. FIFA 23 players have spent the remaining weeks of the game’s lifespan putting the final touches on their Ultimate Team starting 11s. And EA made that process easier by introducing 84×10 and 85×10 SBCs. Players can spend hours cycling through both SBCs and use the cards packed to complete end-game player card SBCs such as 99 overall Lothar Matthaus, Erling Haaland, and Zinedine Zidane. It’s never been easier to earn cards worth well over a million coins, and teams need all the help they can get with just a few Weekend Leagues remaining. However, completing those SBCs just got a whole harder as EA suddenly removed the rinse-and-repeat method players used to make the grind less painful. FIFA 23 84×10 and 85×10 SBCs suddenly removed On August 29, EA announced: “We have temporarily removed the 85×10 and 84×10 SBCs due to issues identified with their requirements.” The devs continued: “Anyone who submitted Items to any of the SBC challenges will have their Items returned in the coming days.” With no way to easily earn 84 or 85 plus overall players, players complained that it’s become nearly impossible to complete some of the higher demanding player SBCs. For example, FIFA 23 added a 99 Rafael Leao SBC that costs around 580,000 coins and requires seven different squads. One player responded: “The game has been the best it has been in months. It just shows how little they care about the community.” A second user added: “One of the best Futties ever and ruined in one content update.” Several community members called this the last straw and announced plans to put their controllers down until EA FC 24 comes out. A third Ultimate Team fan claimed: “Games over. It was good while it lasted.” Hopefully, EA will add the SBC back soon to FIFA 23, but some players appear to have already moved on.

FIFA 23 players calling for Benzema & Messi changes already EA SPORTSKarim Benzema asserted himself as one of the best footballers in the world in 2022, and Lionel Messi’s reputation goes without saying. Soon-to-be FIFA 23 players are calling for much-needed cosmetic changes for both world-class players already. FIFA 23’s gameplay changes announcement went over well with the game’s community. However, two glaring glitches in the gameplay trailer and outdated player models prevented a perfect reveal day. The team of developers use motion capture technology and face scanning to deliver the most authentic player models. EA Vancouver has a team of specialists that travel the world and photograph the best football players in a studio. The motion-captured images in the studio translate into the faces and player models we see in-game. The FIFA 23 gameplay trailer showed off stunningly realistic players, but fans are not happy with how two of the game’s elite stars are looking. FIFA players respond to ‘outdated’ Messi and Benzema player models Reddit user Daroku64 created a thread asking why Benzema and Messi haven’t received new face scans in years. One Reddit user theorized, “Messi is a PES ambassador,” so that’s why EA can’t update his face scan. Another player stated, “maybe Messi and Benzema don’t want to, or don’t care to do the scan. A third player pointed out, “Ronaldo’s in-game model hasn’t been updated since 2016. He’s not that bulky and doesn’t run as he does in-game.” Whether or not this will change as time goes on remains to be seen, but based on early gameplay, fans are certainly frustrated by the lack of new face scans for these two stars. Whether that will be the case for other elite athletes in FIFA 23 remains to be seen – we’ll have to wait for EA Play early access.

FIFA 23 players are awestruck over ‘beautiful’ FUT card designs EA SportsA FIFA 23 card design leak excited players over the ‘beautiful’ new FUT cards. EA thought outside of the box and introduced a few new promos in FIFA 22. Winter Wildcards, Fantasy FUT, Versus, and FUT Captains all garnered gorgeous card designs. The First FIFA 23 trailer dropped on July 20, and EA unveiled its plans for cross-platform capabilities. EA did not yet reveal any information on Ultimate Team. Fortunately, FIFA leaker Exofifa gave Ultimate Team players a sneak peek at the FIFA 23 card designs. The images are leaked, so all information must be taken with a grain of salt. FIFA leaker reveals new FIFA 23 card designs Reddit User Slip_Electrical created a Reddit thread asking the FIFA community’s opinion on the leaked FIFA 23 card design. The overwhelming feedback was positive, and players can’t wait to get their hands on them. FIFA insider Donk confirmed that FIFA World Cup Hero cards are a new addition to FIFA 23. Players that pre-order FIFA 23 before August 21 receive a free World Cup FUT Heroes player. Yaya Toure, Park Ji Sung, and Carvalho are the first three confirmed World Cup Fut Hero cards. One Reddit user said, “beautiful designs, especially the inform one. I like that the pattern on the common gold cards goes over the rare ones, nice detail.” Another user added, “their design team, in-house or outsourced, has done a pretty good job with these ones. The inform design looks quite vibrant.” The Hero card design and World Cup Hero card design also received praise from people. Which FIFA card design is your favorite?

FIFA 23 players call for cross-platform FUT market after seeing PC prices EA SportsFIFA 23 introduced a cross-platform FUT transfer market for consoles only, and PC players can’t believe how unfairly skewed it is. FIFA 23 officially launches worldwide on September 30, but players who purchased the Ultimate Edition were able to start playing on September 27. Dexerto gave the game an eight out of ten rating, praising it for providing the “most realistic” football simulator in the series. EA pulled out of all of the stops for its final year with the FIFA license. The latest series entry adds cross-play, a new chemistry system, alternate player positions, and a cross-platform Ultimate Team transfer market. The new features received varying degrees of praise and criticism. Cross-play, for example, was long-overdue for FIFA, but its implementation backfired by excluding PC players from all of the fun. PC players bash cross-platform FUT transfer market PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and Stadia users share the same FUT transfer market in FIFA 23, but the PC and Switch versions have their own separate Transfer Markets. In the past, Xbox player items on the FUT Market tended to be slightly cheaper than on PlayStation. A shared FUT Transfer Market will theoretically increase supply and demand in FIFA 23, making it more affordable to buy players. However, PC players are limited to trading with just themselves, resulting in less supply and higher prices. The market may stabilize on the game’s official release date, but early signs indicate an overpriced market for PC users. Reddit user MontyP15 shared an image comparing the price of Marco Veratti on PC versus Xbox and PlayStation. The price range was not correctly updated on PC, but the example shows EA failing to properly adjust the PC transfer market. One player responded, “Not changing it for PC just makes no sense; I wonder what’s going on at EA when they choose to make decisions like this.” Another user added, “Some good decisions/changes are made, but then there’s always some kind of mistake or inconsistency that makes you scratch your head.” Some FIFA 23 players believe that the developers took one step forward but two steps backward with their implementation of cross-platform play.

FIFA 23 players are already obsessed with Pulisic’s ‘Griddy’ celebration EA SportsPlayers are already loving the new ‘Griddy’ celebration in FIFA 23, with clips of Chelsea’s Pulisic doing the dance in-game going viral already. ‘The Griddy’ is a celebration first popularized in American Football, done after players score a touchdown. However, it was brought to the pitch by American Chelsea player Christian Pulisic in 2022 during the club’s 2-0 win over Lille in the Champion’s League. Pulisic’s interpretation became an instant meme, and has now made it’s way to FIFA 23. Fans can’t get enough of Pulisic’s Griddy On August 5 a clip of the Griddy’s inclusion in FIFA 23 was posted to Twitter by FIFA23News, and it quickly took off, racking up more than 35,000 upvotes in just a few hours. The FIFA celebration is hilariously faithful to the IRL Pulisic Griddy, and fans already seem to be obsessed with it. Players are already promising to hit the Griddy every time after a goal in Clubs and FUT in FIFA 23 — so if you’re planning on getting the latest installment, prepare to see plenty of it. On top of the Griddy being relentlessly spammed by players though, since it’s been added as a celebration, that means any player in the game can bust it out after a goal. That means we could see the likes of Messi, Ronaldo, and other legends of the game doing this silly little dance in FIFA 23 — so you can’t say we haven’t warned you.

EA responds as FIFA 23 player says they lost 6 million coins to hacker EA SPORTSUpdate: EA SPORTS has confirmed to Dexerto that the player in question had been purchasing FIFA coins and has since been issued with a ban. “FUT Coin trading, selling or buying, outside the game violates our User Agreement. We actively police and take action against anyone found to be attempting to engage in unauthorized Coin trading,” they told Dexerto. “All activity related to playing FIFA Ultimate Team is designed to stay in the game. If players have a legitimate claim they would have their player items returned.” The original story can be found below. FIFA 23 players are putting EA on blast after their support team offered just under 3,000 coins to a gamer who says they lost over six million coins worth of players in an account hack. The game’s anti-cheat has been a point of discussion for some time now, with EA responding to the rise in FIFA 22 hacking cases with new ways to crack down on cheaters. Though, members of the community have been pushing for them to get a few steps further, after a PC exploit turned teams invisible in FUT Champs and new incidents of account hacks occurred. In one case, a FUT trader saw over 200 million coins taken away in one of these attacks. Since then, another affected player has now revealed a review of their case resulted in a measly 2,474 coins compensation, after their hacker discarded over six million coins worth of players. FIFA 23 player furious after hacker discards best players The Reddit post, which has been upvoted hundreds of times on the FIFA subreddit, shows several examples of high-value cards that were discarded by hackers. These include special cards for Paul Pogba, Dirk Kuyt, Xabi Alonso, Kylian Mbappe, and more. For context, the Kylian Mbappe POTM Squad Building Challenge alone requires around two million coins on console and PC platforms, according to FUTBIN data. The original poster said: “Hackers discarded close to 6M worth of players, EA compensated me with 2,474 coins.” In the comments, another player posted: “Sorry for your loss. It’s my last FIFA, at least for FUT, ever.” A second replied: “EA help is literally useless,” followed by: “Feel for you bro. Did they steal your coins or just wrecked your account for the fun of it?” The original poster confirmed coins were not stolen, so their balance remained 40,000 once their account was returned. As for the top SBC players they had been collecting, they are gone. EA has not commented on this case publicly at the time of writing. Dexerto has reached out to EA for comment on this case.

Simple FIFA 23 trick shows you how to take a perfect corner EA SportsFIFA 23 introduced a new set-piece system, which may appear complicated at first glance. However, a player found an easy trick to take the perfect corner. The early days of new FIFA games are always exciting. With the slate wiped clean, players start a new journey trying to discover what works and doesn’t work. Everything feels new and fresh, whether that be the best formation, best players, or learning new mechanics. FIFA 23 is no different, introducing a wide array of new features and mechanics that will take time to get used to. Unveiling a new meta requires trying everything and anything until something sticks. One player didn’t take long to master FIFA 23’s new set-piece system and discover the perfect corner kick. How to take corners in FIFA 23 Reddit user pipkillborn posted a clip scoring a miraculous goal directly from a corner. FIFA 23 removes the circle method of aiming and replaces it with a line that shows where the ball will travel over the first few yards. The left stick dictates the direction, and the right stick adjusts the height and type of delivery. Here are the steps for taking a corner in FIFA 23: Use the left stick to choose a direction – Choose a cross by applying spin with the right stick – Hold the cross button to power up the cross – A player revealed the secret behind their corner kick; “Ideally 3.5 bars powers, in swinger, aim inside the six-yard box.” An in-swinger requires you to use a left-footed player on the near side of the pitch and a right-footed player on the far side. A second user substantiated the claim, saying, “The aim is surprisingly consistent, so if you find a good angle/power that works for you, it is a real tool to deal with out-of-position keepers.” Players in FUT often manually move their goalkeepers near the penalty mark during corner kicks, so this method has the potential of being the perfect counter.

FIFA 23 pack weight explained: Odds for 75+, 82+, 84+, 88+ OVR cards EA SportsOpening packs is a huge part of FIFA 23 Ultimate Team and is one of the best ways to get your hands on top-tier players, but what are the odds for each of the purchasable packs? When opening packs, you’re usually looking to receive the highest-rated players possible, as these tend to be worth the most amount of coins on the FUT market. There are exceptions to this rule, such as a long list of meta players, but overall rating is a good way to know if something will be valuable or not at a glance. When opening packs, anything over 83 OVR will produce a board animation, and then if you get even higher you may find yourself watching a walkout. All of those FUT pack animations are explained in another guide we have put together. But knowing the chance you have of getting the top players when buying a pack with FIFA Points or FUT coins is always useful, many of which have been confirmed by EA. FIFA 23 pack weight odds and chances FIFA 23 packs can be obtained through seasonal rewards in FUT Division Rivals, Squad Battles FUT Draft, SBCs, and even Weekend League. Here, we’re going to run through a number of different common Gold packs you can obtain in Ultimate Team, and the chances of pulling cards of different ratings. While knowing the odds of the packs you’re opening won’t increase your chance of getting a top-tier player, it will set your expectations ahead of time. FIFA 23 Gold pack odds Gold 75+ OVR Player = 100% – Gold 82+ OVR Player = 7.7% – Gold 83+ OVR Player = 3.5% – Premium Gold pack odds Your chances of packing an 84+ rated player in FIFA 23 is increased with the standard premium packs, just slightly: Gold 75+ OVR Player = 100% – Gold 82+ OVR Player = 26% – Gold 84+ OVR Player = 7.3% – Premium Gold Preview pack odds Gold 75+ OVR Player = 100% – Gold 82+ OVR Player = 26% – Gold 84+ OVR Player = 7.2% – Premium Gold Players pack odds Gold 75+ OVR Player = 100% – Gold 82+ OVR Player = 51% – Gold 86+ OVR Player = 4.2% – Rare Players pack odds Gold 75+ OVR Player = 100% – Gold 82+ OVR Player = 95% – Gold 88+ OVR Player = 6.6% – Rare Gold pack odds Gold 75+ OVR Player = 100% – Gold 82+ OVR Player = 58% – Gold 86+ OVR Player = 4.3% – FIFA 23 Mega pack odds Gold 75+ OVR Player = 100% – Gold 82+ OVR Player = 79% – Gold 87+ OVR Player = 6.6% – Rare Mega pack odds Gold 75+ OVR Player = 100% – Gold 82+ OVR Player = 92% – Gold 88+ OVR Player = 4.2% – These figures have been obtained using data from FIFA 22 Preview Packs, which will likely be the same for FIFA 23.

FIFA 23 October 11 update patch notes: Pass speed changes, goalkeeper buffs, more EA SPORTSFIFA 23’s October 11 update streamlines objectives, improves menu stability and makes several fan-requested gameplay changes. FIFA 23 hit shelves on September 27 and for the most part, launched without any hitches. However, on October 9, a 25,000-tradeable FUT Hero pack caused huge market losses and gifted massive profits for a select few. AcceleRATE redefines player speed, and players discovered lengthy players dominate Ultimate Team. A mistake prevented users from taking advantage of the new feature, forcing EA to respond. EA’s October 11 update gets back in the community’s good graces, addressing UI issues and gameplay concerns.

Standing tackles are more likely to win possession back, and for players that do find their way through on goal, chip shots are more accurate. Goalkeepers made some head-scratching errors, but the update improves saves close to their bodies, fixes their positioning on long shots, improves their reaction to chip shots, and adjusts their reaction time. Notable UI changes include finally removing pack animations when redeeming Stadium items from Objectives and fixing stability issues when opening packs. EA did not give a specific release date but said the Update will be available soon.

FIFA 23 October 5 update patch notes: Dribbling, penalty & referee changes Electronic ArtsFIFA 23’s first live tuning update patch notes bring with them some major gameplay changes barely two weeks after the game’s release. The latest FIFA title launched on September 26, 2022. FIFA 23 marks the last installment in the series to be developed by EA. The game includes brand new features, an expanded look at women’s football, and much more. While the launch has gone relatively smoothly, there have been some slight gameplay issues that FIFA players have been quick to make the devs aware of. As a result, the first live tuning update for the game was just dropped on October 5. In the official patch notes, devs EA have also added that these smaller style updates will be a common occurrence, writing that “live tuning enables us to roll out some changes without requiring a full Title Update. This can allow us to make tuning changes faster and with more frequency while working on the balance of the game.” Gameplay & Referee issues ironed out for consistency and balance While only a small update, this patch promises to balance out some specific gameplay aspects that have been causing players issues since launch. Penalty kicks will now require more finesse, with accuracy when taking the kick now being dialed back. Technical dribbling has been altered. Teammates who may not have the best dribbling will now have the skill nerfed down to match their stats. Referee decisions have also been given a slight overhaul. They will now be less likely to call soft or unwarranted freekicks during arm-to-arm contact in-game. On the flip side, referees will be more likely to hand out red or yellow cards for any hard slide tackles. Sorry gamers but you’ll no longer be able to get away with putting in a dangerous tackle. Attached below is the full rundown of the FIFA 23 update patch notes. Full FIFA 23 October 5 live tuning update patch notes The following Live Tuning gameplay changes are now available: Reduced the accuracy of Penalty Kicks taken when the Composure Ring is yellow or red. – Increased Technical Dribbling animation speed for lower rated dribblers.This change specifically impacts players whose dribbling related Attributes are below 90. – – Adjusted referees to be less likely to call fouls for arm-related collisions. – Adjusted referees to be more likely to award yellow cards for fouls committed by Hard Slide Tackles. –

FIFA 23 massively nerfs pressing tactics and players are stunned EA SportsFIFA 23 pressing just got hit by a massive nerf as EA Sports attempts to balance this year’s football sim. FIFA 23 players expecting to press their way to victory may have to update their tactical plans after EA Sports dropped a huge change via its Live Tuning update today. As shared on the FIFA subreddit, EA has “increased Stamina Decay by up to 41% for Constant Pressure, Press After Possession loss, and Press On Heavy Touch Defensive Custom Tactics.” The update also takes aim at the velocity and accuracy of the ball from fully powered corner kicks, something the game’s community had been rallying against for some time. EA Sports nerfs pressing tactics with surprise Live Tuning update Check out the post below: Responses to the post have been, as you can imagine, divided between the pressers and those who have been trying to play out of a pressing pattern since the game launched. “My whole playstyle just got ruined. Great change!” said one commenter, while another said, “wow, rare W”. Some pointed out other issues in FIFA 23 that still need looking at, notably the Trivela shot which many have decried as overpowered, and glitches that cause the game’s pitch view to vanish in the second half of matches. Still, it’s interesting to see EA Sports being confident enough to make a sizeable change in this update and put the process of regaining the ball back in the hands of players. By ensuring pressing players expend more stamina, players are less likely to be able to transition quickly to attack once their team regains possession, while also ensuring players can’t just switch to a mode where the AI can do the dirty work for them. Has this upset your FIFA 23 team’s rhythm? If so, be sure to check out our custom FIFA 23 tactics page for some alternative options to keep you winning games.
