  • FIFA 23: Release date, new gameplay features, licenses & everything we know – Dexerto

    FIFA 23: Release date, new gameplay features, licenses & everything we know EA SportsOfficial FIFA 23 details are becoming known all the time as we now know its release date, new features, and a lot more, so here’s the latest news on EA SPORTS’ newest football sim. We are on the verge of FIFA 23, but we’re still learning more information all the time. We’ve already caught a glimpse of the new Icons and FUT Heroes coming to Ultimate Team, but there’s little news on big new features. FIFA 22 brought a huge host of tweaks, from a FUT Champions Weekend League restructure to Player Career getting a kickstart with new content, but there was still a lack of landmark changes. So, that begs the question: Is FIFA 23 taking things in a new direction before the series is rebranded as EA SPORTS FC? Let’s take a look at everything so far. Contents FIFA 23 release date Thanks to the game’s official debut trailer, EA has announced that football fans can get their hands on FIFA 23 on September 30, 2022. However, if you pre-order the Ultimate Edition of the game, then you’ll actually be able to dive into FIFA 23 a lot earlier on September 27, 2022! FIFA 23 new gameplay features: Cross-play, World Cup, Ultimate Team Cross-play EA SPORTS is adding full cross-platform play in FIFA 23. Notorious FIFA leaker Fut Sheriff claimed that: “Cross-play will be tested in FIFA 22. Probably won’t be on Ultimate Team, but is def coming in FIFA 23!” This turned out to be the case as cross-play is finally being implemented, although it will only apply to 1v1 game modes. This hasn’t been to everyone’s taste, but it could only be the beginning for the feature going forward with the series. Women’s Super League added After years of stagnation, women’s representation in FIFA is set to be addressed as EA is adding England’s Barclays Women’s Super League and France’s Division 1 Arkema. This will include 24 teams featuring the likes of Liverpool, Manchester United, Manchester City, PSG, and more. A women’s career mode hasn’t been outed yet, but like cross-play, this could be the start of a real overhaul for women’s football in FIFA. Will the World Cup 2022 be in FIFA 23? In the same announcement that revealed FIFA 23 will be the last game to feature FIFA branding, it was also confirmed that World Cup content is making a return. Both the men’s and women’s World Cup will be featured in the game and will arrive as free updates at no extra cost. The date has yet to be confirmed yet. Hypermotion 2 Technology EA has declared that they’ve upgraded to Hypermotion 2 Technology in FIFA 23, an even greater and more powerful version of what we saw in FIFA 22. It’s providing “more animations than ever before” and it will receive a complete demonstration on July 27, 2022. Will FIFA 23 have an Online Career Mode? There have long been rumors of an Online Career Mode coming to FIFA, though it’s never materialized. Around the time FIFA 22 launched, though, there was a glimmer of hope discovered in EA job listings. On June 3, 2021, we reported that an Online Software Engineer posting had been advertised, which had some very interesting details in the job description. EA job advert says they’re hiring Online Software Engineers to work on a FIFA “”online career mode”” New feature in FIFA 22? 👀 pic.twitter.com/1fgUXaI63Z — Dexerto Sports (@DexertoFC) June 3, 2021 It said: “As an Online Software Engineer, you will help build our networked play development team – whether that be in our online Career Mode, ultimate team, or core online systems and protocols. “We are looking for engineers who enjoy prototyping and planning, adding amazing new features to an existing and beloved game, and improving existing code.” That being said, it never came to fruition in FIFA 22 – potentially opening the door for the game after. Well, that very game is going to launch in 2022, so for Career Mode players, there may be good news coming. In June 2022, it was suggested by FUTZone that EA was instead considering the prospect of releasing Online Career Mode as a standalone, free-to-play game. However, the leaker admitted that the chances of the project going forward were “slim.” 🚨 EA are exploring the option of making Online Career Mode a separate FREE TO PLAY GAME, the chances of this happening are very slim but EA are open to make it work. It’s a project that has been in the works for 2 years. Planned release date is October 2023. #EASportsFC — FUTZone – EA SPORTS FC News 🔺 (@FUTZONEFIFA) June 26, 2022 FIFA 23 Ultimate Team changes: Chemistry rework & position changes Chemistry is a key part of the FUT formula, a constant puzzle for players to solve as they try and cram all of the very best players into a single starting XI. At the moment, Chemistry is achieved with players from the same nation or league, as well as managers with the right league and nation, but that could change in FIFA 23. According to a leak from Weaver – FUT, FIFA 23 will allow players of any league or nationality to link together, working on a stars system. Every team will apparently be able to earn up to three stars, instead of the rating out of 100 used currently. Sadly, there’s no more information to go off, so it’s unclear how the new system will handle stat boosts and what the rewards for better Chemistry will be. Either way, there is no doubt that allowing players to fit stars from around the world into one team with no penalty would fundamentally change FUT 23 if the leak turns out to be true. Exclusive FIFA 23 News/Leaks 🚨 Chemistry System Rework 👀 – It looks like every Nation/League works with every Nation/League 🟠 – Chemistry replaced by Stars ✅ – Team can get up to 3 Stars ✅More big FUT and FIFA 23 News are coming soon ⏰ — Weaver – FUT (@WeaverFUT) May 28, 2022 FIFA 23 Ultimate Team position change overhaul Another fundamental part of Ultimate Team is also set to change in FIFA 23 as FUT Sheriff revealed that position changes will be reworked this time around. He claimed that many players will have a primary position displayed on their cards, as well as a secondary position they are comfortable playing in. This will be based on roles they’ve taken up in real-life, such as Lionel Messi playing as a center forward and on the right wing. To switch this secondary position FUT users can apply players with a generic position modifier card, which are earned through packs or bought on the Transfer Market as they are now. If true, this should open the door for more drastic position changes, offering fans more options when building their team. 🚨Position Modifiers are changing on Fifa 23! There are NO ❌ specific position modifiers in the game. Every player has a Primary position and most of them have a secondary position.👀🔥 Follow @Criminal__x and @FutSheriff 🔥#fifa23 pic.twitter.com/0vgDitewG7 — Fut Sheriff (@FutSheriff) June 13, 2022 FIFA 23 trailers One of EA’s most anticipated moments of each calendar year is the reveal trailer for the latest FIFA game, and FIFA 23’s is another special one. It showed off a plethora of glittering new features, new and improved visuals, and a lot more on top of that. We’ve also had a full look into the ever-popular Ultimate Team mode. EA has also shown fans a healthy chunk of the gameplay for FIFA 23 to offer deeper insight into the formula’s changes. If you care more about offline than online, then here’s what’s changed in Career Mode this year. FIFA 23 platforms As with the last few years now, FIFA 23 is being subjected to a complete rollout on multiple platforms, these include the following: PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch, Stadia, and PC. Undoubtedly, more FIFA 23 information will drop ahead of its September 30, 2022 release date, so keep checking back on this page as we’ll be adding fresh details as and when they are made public.

    FIFA 23 Level Up Team 1 revealed: De Bruyne, Cavani, Davies, more EA SportsEA launched a new promo, Level Up, that puts the onus on players to upgrade the event’s cards. Here is everything you need to know about FIFA 23’s latest promo. Shapeshifters provided a breath of fresh air for FIFA players after a lengthy TOTS promo. EA put a spin on the fan-favorite event by introducing Icon Twins, which added two different versions of ICON cards. Goalkeepers Manuel Neuer and Petr Cech striker cards stole the show in what’s always a memorable experience. With just a few promos remaining before EA SPORTS FC releases, the devs dove deep into their bag of tricks for a new and exciting idea. That process culminated in Level Up, a brand new promo that forces players to do more than just acquire the new cards. Let’s jump right into what this new event entails. FIFA 23 FUT Level Up promo explained Players can earn upgraded versions of Level Up cards throughout the FUT Level Up campaign by completing objectives.

  • FIFA 23 leak shows ICONs can be downgraded to FUT Heroes – Dexerto

    FIFA 23 leak shows ICONs can be downgraded to FUT Heroes EA SPORTSEa revealed a laundry list of significant gameplay changes coming to FIFA 23. An unexpected Ultimate Team change potentially affects Icons. We revealed our list of five football legends that should be FIFA 23 ICONs. Roma legend Francesco Totti and the Dutch maestro Wesley Sneijder highlight the list. There are over 100 Icons in FIFA 22. Robin Van Persie, Wayne Rooney, Cafu, and Casillas debuted in this year’s installment. EA also added brand new Hero cards, representing a player and their hero moment in a specific league. The cards aren’t as highly rated as standard ICONS, but they did receive special upgraded cards called FUT Captains. A new leak suggests some lower-rated ICON cards may be downgraded to Hero cards in FIFA 23. Icons can allegedly be downgraded to Heroes in FIFA 23 FIFA leaker Fut Sherrif revealed that ICONs can be downgraded to Heroes in FIFA 23. The leaker claimed that Icon Jay-Jay Okocha is now listed as a FUT Hero item. Okocha is the 20th lowest rated Prime Icon, and this leak claims that he is being downgraded to an 88 overall. The lowest overall prime Icon is 88 overall Hidetoshi Nakata. Other notable 90 overall Prime players include Rio Ferdinand, Claude Makelele, Pep Guardiola, and Marc Overmars. It will be interesting to see what sort of precedent Okocha’s downgrade sets for other legends. A downgrade for low-rated Icons would result in more rewarding packs. For example, a base Icon pack would give players a better change at a rarer legend if the less desirable player items became Heroes instead. However as it stands, this is just a leak, and we will provide any updates if an official announcment is made.

  • FIFA 23 leak reveals World Cup content ahead of Qatar 2022 – Dexerto

    FIFA 23 leak reveals World Cup content ahead of Qatar 2022 EA SPORTSA major FIFA 23 leak appears to have revealed a host of World Cup content, showing what EA has planned for Qatar 2022 in Ultimate Team and beyond. FIFA 23 is crammed full of modes and features to enjoy, from managing a real-life club in Career Mode to building your own in Ultimate Team. EA also like to keep things fresh with regular promos like the recently released Road to the Knockouts cards. But since this is a World Cup year, with the tournament taking place in the Middle East for the first time, many have been wondering what the developers have planned. In the past, fans have been treated to a World Cup mode as a free add-on to the base game which proved incredibly popular. Now, a well-known leaker may have shed light on what FIFA 23 World Cup content will look like. On October 12, Donk Trading tweeted a breakdown of everything coming to FIFA 23 as part of Qatar 2022. On top of the previously confirmed World Cup FUT Heroes, players can look forward to World Cup Icons that have lit up the competition in the past. Path to Glory cards, which were extremely popular during the last European Championships and Copa America, are expected to return. These special items increased in rating depending on how a particular nation performed in the tournament, resulting in some eye-watering squads. The leaker also shared that more World Cup-themed Ultimate Team content would arrive in the form of Showdown SBCs, Swaps Tokens, and a Team of the Tournament once the event is over. Sadly, Donk Trading didn’t reveal whether or not FIFA 23 will receive a standalone World Cup mode, or if all of the DLC will be found in regular FUT. Away from Ultimate Team, they also claimed that every nation competing in the World Cup will be playable in FIFA 23, as well as all eight stadiums, seven of which have been custom-built to host the competition. It’s still unknown exactly when the free FIFA 23 World Cup update will arrive, but Donk Trading’s tweet suggested it will be sometime in November, most likely in time for the tournament to kick off on November 20.

  • FIFA 23 leak reveals major overhaul coming for Ultimate Team position changes – Dexerto

    FIFA 23 leak reveals major overhaul coming for Ultimate Team position changes EA SportsFIFA 23 may be undergoing some fundamental changes at the hands of EA Sports, after leakers revealed that Ultimate Team’s position change feature is set for a major rework. FIFA 23 is gearing up to be the biggest year of the series to date, following the news that it will be the last to feature FIFA branding. EA have already secured new licensed leagues and World Cup content is scheduled after release. Ultimate Team is also receiving some new content this year, with new Icons and FUT Heroes being added to the roster. But it appears some tried-and-tested features are also receiving huge changes. According to respected FUT leakers, FIFA 23 will overhaul how position modifiers work in Ultimate Team – a core feature that has been unchanged for many years. At the moment in FIFA 22 Ultimate Team, position changes are relatively restricted. Cards can be packed or bought to alter a player’s positioning, such as converting a LM to LW, or CAM to CM. This is all set to change in FIFA 23 if a leak from FUT Sheriff is to be believed. The insider has revealed that FUT 23 players will have secondary positions that they can play in, based on how they play in real life. This means that a winger that has also been deployed through the middle can be converted to a striker, opening up plenty of options when it comes to squad building and Chemistry links. Changes will be still be achieved through an in-game consumable, but they will be a genric card instead of a specific position switch. You will only be able to change players to those positions on Fifa 23. No more specific position modifier cards. It will be just a generic one as you can use to change the players for their alternative positions 🤯#fifa23 — Fut Sheriff (@FutSheriff) June 13, 2022 The new position system is similar to the one used in Career Mode, where players can adapt to different roles without losing stats. It opens the door for more drastic position changes which aren’t currently possible, as players are limited to either side of the pitch with little room to maneuver, especially in defense. In FIFA 23, players that are known to be versatile will be able to move around the pitch in ways that relate to their real-life counterparts. Another leaker, DonkTrading, used the example of Kyle Walker, who can play both right-back and centre-back. https://twitter.com/DonkTrading/status/1536646653268066304 It’s worth noting that this is far from confirmed, and EA is yet to fully reveal FIFA 23 Ultimate Team. However, both FUT Sheriff and DonkTrading have been very reliable in the past, so it’s highly likely that the new position changes are coming. We’ll have to wait for the first in-depth trailer to see the change in action, and fans will be able to try it for themselves during the FIFA 23 beta.

  • FIFA 23 leak reveals big NBA 2K features coming to Player Career – Dexerto

    FIFA 23 leak reveals big NBA 2K features coming to Player Career EA SportsPlayer Career Mode in FIFA 23 could be in a for a well overdue update after a leaker claimed that a host of fan-requested features from NBA 2K are set to hit the mode when it releases later this year. While Ultimate Team will no doubt steal the show, there are plenty of players who are eager to jump into FIFA 23 Career Mode. Taking a player or entire club from the bottom to European glory is an experience that the other modes simply don’t offer. Following the news that the football franchise will be bringing in even more licensed leagues and teams again this year, there’s arguably no better time to play as a manager. But fans have felt that EA haven’t supported Player Career as well as other rival sports games. That could all be about to change in FIFA 23, however, as one leaker has claimed that a slew of long-awaited features are on the way. In a June 9 tweet, FIFA leaker FUTZone claimed that FIFA 23 is set to bring in a number of additions to make the mode more immersive. Arguably the most interesting is the ability to manage your player’s social media account. Here, you’ll likely be able to see messages of support or criticism from the fans after a match, and perhaps even the opportunity to respond at the risk of upsetting the manager. This is something that the likes of NBA 2K have introduced in the past to great success, and fans have wanted EA to follow suit. They also suggested that new cut scenes will be introduced for training, along with pre and post-match interviews. Extra customization options like tattoos are also expected to be added, which should all give our created pros a little bit of extra personality. 🚨 Player Career Mode: • Social Media • Tattoos • Post Match / Pre Match Interview / MOTM Awards • Option to extend your contract • Training cut scenes (manager career mode aswell)#FIFA23— FUTZone – EA SPORTS FC News 🔺 (@FUTZONEFIFA) June 9, 2022 These new features will come with a caveat though according to FUTZone. In the replies to their initial post, the leaker was asked if the additions are exclusive to next-gen consoles, to which they simply replied: “Yes.” This means that those playing on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One will likely get a Player Career Mode experience that is closer to a legacy version of FIFA, without the new features. It’s worth keeping in mind that these long-awaited features haven’t been confirmed by EA Sports just yet. FUTZone has been spot on with leaks in the past, but not all the time, so we’ll have to wait for an announcement to be sure. FIFA 23 is expected to be revealed very soon, so hopefully, we won’t have too long to wait for more details.

  • FIFA 23 LaLiga TOTS predictions: Lewandowski, Vinicius Junior, Pedri, more – Dexerto

    FIFA 23 LaLiga TOTS predictions: Lewandowski, Vinicius Junior, Pedri, more EA SportsFIFA 23 LaLiga TOTS is almost here, and it’s set to hand out ridiculously juiced-up cards to the Spanish league’s best performers of the season. Here is everything you need to know about the upcoming promo. If you haven’t started already, It’s time to start saving up packs, coins, and FIFA points for FIFA 23 TOTS. Usually falling in either April or May, EA celebrates the season’s top performers by releasing stacked lineups for every major football league. Based on previous years, each TOTS squad contains one goalkeeper, four defenders, five midfielders, and five attackers. Based on FC Barcelona’s dominance in 2023, fans should expect a lot of Catalan representation. However, plenty of stars put on dazzling individual performances in Spain this season. Without further ado, let’s jump right into our predictions. When is FIFA 23 LaLiga TOTS coming out? Last year, in FIFA 22, EA SPORTS kicked things off on April 29 with the first squad release. Though, when it comes to FIFA 23, we don’t yet have a confirmed release date for the promo. FIFA 23 LaLiga TOTS predictions Here is a full list of the players we expect to slot into the LaLiga TOTS. Goalkeeper This choice was a rather easy one. The German shot-stopper leads LaLiga with 19 clean sheets, which accounts for 73% of his appearances. He still has a chance to top Francisco Liaño’s record of 26 clean sheets in 1993/94. Marc-Andre ter Stegen: Barcelona – Defenders Choosing defenders proved much more difficult. Barcelona has only conceded nine goals in 26 matches, so it’s hard not just to include the team’s entire backline. We decided to highlight two other top performers this season to add some variety. Andreas Christensen: Barcelona – Ronald Araujo: Barcelona – Jose Gaya: Valencia – Juan Foyth: Villarreal – Midfielders The center of the pitch was stacked to the brim with talent this season in Spain. Several stars, such as Luka Modric and Sergio Busquets, fell short of making our team. 2023 proved to be a major change of the guard as Pedri, De Jong, and Valverde blossomed. Pedri: Barcelona – Aleix Garcia: Girona – Federico Valverde: Real Madrid – Frenkie De Jong: Barcelona: – Mikel Merino: Real Sociedad – Attackers Karim Benzema lit the league on fire in 2021/22, scoring 27 goals in 32 matches. Injuries held the prolific goal scorer back this season, and it was a much more tame goal-scoring season league-wide. After 26 games, Lewandowski leads the league with 15 goals. The playmaking prowess of Griezmann and Vinicius Junior has been the true spectacle to behold this season. Karim Benzema: Real Madrid – Antoine Griezmann: Athletico Madrid – Robert Lewandowski: Barcelona – Vinicius Junior: Real Madrid – Iago Aspas: Celta Vigo – We will update this list once EA unveils the official LaLiga TOTS.

FIFA 23 La Liga TOTS revealed A 99 pace Vinicius Jr., 97 overall Luka Modric, and 97 overall Robert Lewandowski steal the show in a team dominated by Barcelona and Real Madrid players. It was also impossible to leave out Marc-Andre ter Stegen, who is only one clean sheet shy of tying the all-time clean sheet record of 26 with four matches still remaining. Antonie Greizman also cemented his place, tallying an astounding 13 goals and 12 assists. Here is the official FIFA 23 La Liga TOTS Squad. Goalkeepers Marc-Andre ter Stegen (Barcelona) – Defenders Eder Militao (Real Madrid) – Alejandro Balde (Barcelona) – Jules Kounde (Barcelona) – Nahuel Molina (Athletico Madrid) – David Garcia (Osasuna) – Javi Galan (Celta Vigo) (TOTS Moments) – Midfielders Luka Modric (Real Madrid) – Pedri (Barcelona) – Mikel Merino (Real Sociedad) – Federico Valverde (Real Madrid) – Gabri Veiga (Celta Vigo) – Marcos Llorente (Athletico Madrid) (TOTS Moments) – Nabil Fekir (Real Betis) (TOTS Moments) – Attackers Karim Benzema (Real Madrid) – Robert Lewandowski (Barcelona) – Vinicius Jr (Real Madrid) – Antoine Griezman (Athletico Madrid) – Make sure to check back and check out our FIFA 23 Team of the Season hub for more information on the TOTS promo.

    FIFA 23 January squad update makes Ronaldo a free agent on Career Mode EA SPORTSFIFA 23 has made Cristiano Rolando a free agent in Career mode following his real-life departure from Manchester United. Ronaldo is one of the greatest soccer players of all time. When it comes to Career mode, he is always one player that the community follows and wants in their team. However, real-life career choices have meant that the iconic soccer star is now appearing as a free agent in FIFA 23. In a Reddit thread, the FIFA 23 community began discussing Ronaldo’s status as a free agent as well as his worth within the game. One user wrote that he “got him for $29k and a $100k signing bonus. That was the absolute minimum I could get.” Others have been utilizing Ronaldo’s free agent status to bring him back to his old clubs and even reunite him with some old teammates. ”Brought him back to Madrid in my career mode and considered getting Bale as well to reunite the BBC,” wrote another Reddit user. Ronaldo’s real-life return to Manchester United was riddled with disasters, with his performance coming into question as well as minimal game-time and on-pitch outbursts being the source of major criticism and backlash from fans and commentators alike. He has now signed with Al-Nassr FC, a Saudi-Arabian team. Time will tell if FIFA 23 updates Ronaldo’s club status but for the moment, he appears as a free agent. Content creator iShowSpeed recently revealed that he was invited by the club to meet with Ronaldo. Given that Speed has been making it big lately for his hilarious FIFA videos, meeting Ronaldo is sure to create some viral content.

Here are our FIFA 23 La Liga rating predictions, ranking the best 10 players in the league for the next game. Real Madrid and Barcelona are the faces of Spanish football, but La Liga is a deep league with some of the most exciting players in Ultimate Team. After a turbulent start to the season, club legend Xavi took the reigns at Barcelona and has the European giant firing on all cylinders again. Atletico Madrid also struggled to match its title-winning form from the previous season. Despite some struggles, La Liga still attracts big-name talent and it’s shaping up to be a busy transfer window in Spain. Who will be the best La Liga player in FIFA 23? We’ve made predictions for the top 10 best La Liga players in FIFA 23 – so let’s run through them. Note: 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. FIFA 23 La Liga ratings: Top 10 player predictions 10. Marcos Llorente 86 -> 86 Llorente played a vital role in Atletico Madrid’s 2021 La Liga Title campaign, finishing with 14 goals and 13 assists. The rising star’s rating leaped from an 82 rating to 86 in FIFA 22, but don’t expect another significant jump. Llorente struggled to replicate his success, finishing with only two assists in 29 appearances for Atletico Madrid this season. A down season does not necessarily warrant a downgrade for the versatile midfielder, but he most likely won’t be upgraded. 9. Frenkie De Jong 87 -> 86 Frenkie De Jong may not be a Barcelona member by the summer’s end, but for now, the midfield maestro will be included in our La Liga predictions. De Jong has frequently been regarded as one of the top midfielders in the world. However, he was slightly overshadowed by the blossoming superstar Pedri this season. The Dutch midfielder will probably keep his rating or drop one or two points after a below-average season. 8. Jordi Alba 86 -> 87 Barcelona almost replaced Jordi Alba, but the long-serving left-back proved his worth under the new manager Xavi. Alba rose to the occasion and helped lead the Catalan club back into a Champions League qualifying position. EA tends to downgrade players when they reach their mid-30s heavily, but Jordi Alba continues to defy father time and could receive a slight boost in FIFA 23. 7. Toni Kroos 88 -> 87 Toni Kroos is consistently one of the best midfielders in the world and has been an absolute workhorse for Real Madrid. Real Madrid is ushering in a new age at the club, and Kroos may become the odd man out. Aurelien Tchoameni, Eduardo Camavinga, and Federico Valverde are all young and talented midfielders vying for heavy minutes. The 32-year-old Toni Kroos may be ousted from the starting lineup but will most likely keep his high 80s overall. 6. Luka Modric 87 -> 88 Luka Modric somehow managed to turn back the clock and extend his reign as one of the best midfielders in the world. The orchestrator pulled all of the right strings for Real Madrid this season and played a crucial role in their treble-winning campaign. EA may not upgrade the Croatian maestro’s rating, as he is 36 years old, but it looks on the cards after the season he put together. 5. Casemiro 89 -> 89 Casemiro does all of the dirty work for Real Madrid and can shut down the best of the world’s best strikers on any given matchday. The Brazilan brick wall often goes unnoticed for his work, yet he was at the heart of Real Madrid’s treble campaign and can always be relied upon for results. The reliable defensive midfielder didn’t necessarily do enough to bump him into club 90, but he did more than what’s required to keep an 89 rating in FIFA 23. 4. Marc-Andre Ter Stegen 90 -> 89 Marc-Andre Ter Stegen was heralded as one of the best goalkeepers in the world after leading Barcelona to a league title in 2018 – and he’s bound to be near the top of FIFA 23’s La Liga rating charts. The German goalkeeper’s form steadily declined over the next few seasons, and this season was arguably his worst statistical year yet. Ter Stegen is still a phenomenal passer, but he can longer be relied on to make the crucial game-saving stops he used to. For that reason, Ter Stegen may receive a slight downgrade in FIFA 23. 3. Jan Oblak 91 -> 90 Atletico Madrid goalkeeper Jan Oblak had a shocking season compared to his title-winning campaign the year prior. In the 2020/21 season, Oblak only conceded 25 goals and saved 80% of the shots against him. This season, Oblak had a 62.5% save percentage and conceded 43 goals. Oblak can not be solely blamed for Atletico Madrid’s shortcomings, but the world-class keeper may see a slightly decreased FIFA 23 rating. 2. Thibaut Courtois 89 -> 91 Thibaut Courtois etched his name in the ‘best goalkeeper’ conversation last season. The Belgian goalkeeper stole the show in the Champions League final victory over Liverpool. Courtois’ nine saves were the most in a Champions League final since 2003-04. Courtois only conceded 29 total goals in La Liga this season, and the Belgian led the Champions League with an 80% save percentage. Courtois should receive a big upgrade in FIFA 23. 1. Karim Benzema 89 -> 92 Leading the pack is none other than Karim Benzema. The clinical finisher tore through the largest European sides, scoring a combined 10 goals against PSG, Chelsea, and Man City in the final stages of the Champions League. The French forward scored 42 total goals and tallied 14 assists, capping off one of the greatest individual seasons in football history. Benzema led Real Madrid to a treble and still has the opportunity to win a World Cup in the same calendar year. Benzema will surely receive a massive upgrade, and deservedly so after his otherworldly 2021/22 campaign – wrapping up our Top 10 predictions for the best FIFA 23 La Liga player ratings.

  • FIFA 23 ICON cards list: Villa, Di Stefano & Romario leaked – Dexerto

    FIFA 23 ICON cards list: Villa, Di Stefano & Romario leaked EA SPORTSEA SPORTS will add even more ICON cards in FIFA 23, adding to the star-studded list assembled over the last few years. Here’s everything we know about FIFA 23 cards, including leaks, confirmed names, and more details. FIFA 23 Ultimate Team is set to feature some of football’s biggest names, including ICONs and Heroes that dominated the sport during their careers. These two sets of cards represent some of football’s best players from years gone by, and following some Hero leaks, details about Legends coming to FIFA 23 have also surfaced. Here’s everything we know so far, from leaked cards to confirmed FIFA 23 ICONs. Contents FIFA 23 ICON leaks Romario – Brazil The first name touted for inclusion in the FIFA 23 ICON list is a Brazilian icon, Romario. The striker scored over 750 goals in his career but these days, he does have some involvement in politics, as a Member of the Federal Senate of Brazil. EXCLUSIVE 🚨 NEW FIFA23 ICON✅ • Romario 🇧🇷 Collab with @DekuGFX_ Make sure to follow me and @DekuGFX_ for more FIFA 23 news! 👈🏻🔥#FIFA23 #FUT23 #FIFA #ICON pic.twitter.com/RdX9VplhEI — FUTZone – EA SPORTS FC News 🔺 (@FUTZONEFIFA) June 7, 2022 David Villa – Spain Sticking in Spain, David Villa has also been leaked by FUT Sheriff. The World Cup winner made his name at Valencia, where he scored 107 LaLiga goals in five years, before moving on to bag two league titles and a Champion League with Barcelona. With fellow striker Fernando Torres already in the game, it was only a matter of time before El Guaje arrived. Jairzinho – Brazil In the same tweet that claimed that Gerd Muller would be added, FUT Sheriff mentioned that Jairzinho would be joining the many Brazilian ICONs in FIFA 23. This formidable winger was intrumental in his country’s World Cup win in 1970, finishing as his side’s top scorer. He was well known for his blistering pace and technical ability, and would surely be popualr card if he does show up in-game this year. Alfredo Di Stefano – Argentina Rounding out the leaked Icons so far is Madrid legend Alfredo Di Stefano. The Argentine is widely regarded as one of the best forwards the game has ever seen, scoring 418 goals in 510 games for the Galacticos. Di Stefano has been one of the biggest omissions from the ICON roster in past years, and it looks as though FIFA 23 will finally put things right. As is the case with any reportedly leaked details, the accuracy of the information will not be made clear until official sources offer clarification. Therefore, we would advise this is taken with a pinch of salt for the time being. A-Z of confirmed FIFA 23 ICONs Two ICON cards were removed, for different reasons, in the previous installment and are not expected to return, at the time of writing.

  • FIFA 23 FUT chemistry calculator: How to get more team & player chem – Dexerto

    FIFA 23 FUT chemistry calculator: How to get more team & player chem EA SPORTSFIFA 23 chemistry has changed in Ultimate Team and if you want to know how to get more chemistry, for team or players, you’ve come to the right place. Figuring out how chemistry works in FIFA 23 has been a challenge for lots of Ultimate Team players, no question about it. The age-old system of players of similar nationality and league standing alongside each other to boost chem has been scrapped, in favor of a Madden-style alternative. If you can’t get your head around it – or want a reminder while building a new team – here’s how it works. FIFA 23 chemistry system explained All players in the starting lineup can now boost groups of chemistry, rather than strong or weak links between individual cards. The maximum chemistry you can get is 33/33 in-game, replacing the old 100 chemistry system. In an exclusive interview with Dexerto, an EA developer told us why the chemistry was changed, citing the possibility of more hybrid teams. How to increase chemistry Here is how the calculator appears in FIFA 23 (as seen on the left side of the screen). By adding groups of players with the same nation, league, and club, your chemistry will increase in batches. These batches appear as dots and diamonds in the menu screen. A dot is one point towards building a diamond. To increase your chemistry, you need to fill as many dots as you can by adding players contributing to the total. Above, you can see it highlights increases in green as you’re working it out, and red for decreases (here I was subbing out Romero for Diego Carlos). If you have a full diamond’s worth of Premier League links from seven players, for argument’s sake, that leaves you with a chance to build chemistry for another league or nation with your remaining slots in the starting lineup. Maybe the resulting four players will be from Barcelona, which would give you strong club links, league links, and possibly some nation links (if they are from the same country). This system allows teams to not be tied down to specific leagues and without the limits of specific links, it is easier to create a flexible hybrid. How to get full chemistry in FIFA 23: Calculator To increase your chemistry in Ultimate Team, there are three possible combination – depending on whether you’re connecting players from the same club, nation, or league. Perfect chem combinations Maximum chemistry can be achieved through these combinations: Club: 2x players on 1 chemistry, 5x players on 2 chemistry, 7x players on 3 chemistry – Nation: 2x players on 1 chemistry, 5x players on 2 chemistry, 8x players on 3 chemistry – League: 3x players on 1 chemistry, 5x players on 2 chemistry, 8x players on 3 chemistry – Boosts If you are struggling with those combinations, there are also other cards that could boost your chemistry total. Though, these boosts don’t come cheap. ICON: x2 chemistry for players from their nation – Hero: x2 chemistry for players in their league, x1 for nation – Each of these will get maximum chemistry, taking up three points each on the road to the magic 33 number. Here’s the full list of ICON and Hero cards in the game. Position Modifiers Playing players out of position in FIFA 23 just isn’t viable if you want high chemistry. Check the primary and alternative positions on your cards to make sure, when building a team, that the players can slot into the exact formation chosen. For example, somebody such as Fabinho cannot play CM but can play CDM. By having the right positions filled in your formation, you will increase chem easily. If you need to change a Rashford, for example, from LW to ST, that’s possible when you have bought or packed a position modifier card to make the change. Here’s how it works. Do managers give chemistry in FIFA 23? Yes – managers add one point to your chemistry total if they have the same nation or league as players in the team. However, be mindful that once you have maxed out one section of your chemistry (say it is Brazil and you buy a Brazilian manager) that will add nothing more to your tally.

  • FIFA 23 hackers steal over 200 million FUT coins from streamers and World Champion – Dexerto

    FIFA 23 hackers steal over 200 million FUT coins from streamers and World Champion EA SPORTSEA pledged to make FIFA 23 Ultimate Team an even more secure experience with new anti-cheat, but hackers are still taking over accounts and stealing millions of FUT coins. In FIFA 22, some of the biggest trader accounts were hacked in a series of account takeovers, prompting a public response from the game’s developers. They suggested more members of the community should activate two-factor authentication, but the cheaters have found ways around that. One player lost over 50 million coins back in January, called FUT Donkey, and they were not alone. Even top Twitch streamer Bateson87 was hacked. FIFA 23 hackers stealing millions of FUT coins, again While many were hoping these account takeovers would be a thing of the past, speaking exclusively to Dexerto, FUT Donkey revealed lightning does strike twice. This time, though, it appears the perpetrators are accessing account logins by tricking Sony staff using PSN support. “I was just sitting at home and got a text saying 2FA has been disabled from Sony, which I didn’t do,” they told us. “I tried to login into my PS5 but my account had been logged out and all details changed. I rang Sony up to get my account back but by the time I got it back the hacker had taken around 20 million coins.” Given that EA had moved to fix issues on their end, regarding account takeovers, it appears the PSN method is opening the door to major accounts being hacked – with losses at an unprecedented scale. “I would estimate at least 150-200 million coins have been stolen, that I am aware of, it’s probably more. I am sure there are people I am not aware of,” they added. FIFA World Champion hacked twice On top of that, a FIFA World Champion – Mohammed ‘MoAuba’ Harkous – also posted that they had been hacked. He won the FIFA eWorld Cup final in 2019, taking the trophy home. MoAuba tweeted: “Two days in a row.” MoAuba has since threatened to sue those responsible. Using Google translate, he tweeted: “The **** from Sony, ask for account name and Paypal address and release all data. I think I’ll sue them.” The first time he was hacked, on November 10, he managed to regain access to his PSN account fast enough to not experience serious losses. Others, though, were not so lucky. German streamer Elias Nerlich was also impacted, losing over 30 million coins, according to FUT Donkey. Donkey added: “I have had no response from Sony about it or from EA either, both have ignored me so far. “The hacker could have spent my money as I had payment methods linked to my account, my address, age, and full name are all on there too so it’s a huge data breach.” Those affected are now urging EA to liaise with Sony in order to get to the bottom of the problem and deliver fair compensation. Neither has commented on the hacking situation, at the time of writing.

  • FIFA 23 hands-on: Big improvements but lack of game-changing features – Dexerto

    FIFA 23 hands-on: Big improvements but lack of game-changing features EA SPORTSFIFA 23 will be last the game in the iconic football series before the EA SPORTS FC rebrand takes place, but, even though the gameplay has never felt so slick, the developers haven’t ripped up the rulebook for the final runout. After almost 30 years of partnership, EA SPORTS and FIFA are going their separate ways, making FIFA 23 the last outing for the pair before they become free agents. It’s no surprise, then, that many are hoping for a fitting testimonial for a series that has entertained football fans for nearly three decades. We’ve had our first sneak peek at the changes coming off the pitch in the likes of Career Mode and Pro Clubs, and Ultimate Team is surely set to dominate once again, but it’s on the pitch where die-hard football ultras want to see progress. I got the opportunity to lace up my boots and go hands-on with FIFA 23, and while the beautiful game has never looked, sounded, and felt more beautiful, fans shouldn’t expect a major evolution in the series’ farewell match. It’s worth noting that we were only able to sit down for a handful of Kick-Off matches, so this preview won’t cover the new FUT, Career Mode, or Pro Clubs features. Shoot for the stars…or the stands Arguably the biggest gameplay innovation in FIFA 23 is Power Shots, a brand-new risk-reward shot-type that lets players unleash devastating swirling strikes by holding both bumpers down. This new technique is perfect for both long-range shots and one v one scenarios. The tradeoff is that Power Shots have much longer animations than regular shots as the striker winds up to smash the ball past an unsuspecting goalkeeper, leaving them wide open for a defender to track back and get a foot in. They also turn off any assistance to aiming so the shots must be directed manually, causing more than a few of my efforts to sail off towards the corner flag. There was no greater thrill in our time with FIFA 23 than seeing one of these nestle in the top corner, but it’s a feature that will take time to master. Sadly, in its current state, it’s hard to see Power Shots affecting the meta too much, as there are simply too few situations where you can find the time and space to execute them properly. Meanwhile, shooting, in general, has been revamped to put more different types of shots at players’ disposal, and the ball moves much more realistically. Shots fizz, dip and swerve like never before, and it will definitely lead to some of the dramatic moments that the franchise is known for. Set piece specialist While Power Shots may not be a gamechanger, FIFA 23’s overhauled set pieces are a thing of beauty. Gone are the days of aggressively wiggling your right thumb to try and pull off a knuckleball free-kick, thanks to a new trajectory line that is far more intuitive. Winning a foul on the edge of the box feels like a real opportunity this time round, as you carefully direct your shot into the top corner with the left stick, and apply spin with the right stick before you power up the strike. Useful overlays also let you know exactly which type of free-kick you’re lining up, getting rid of that ‘hit and hope’ feeling of the last few years. Don’t be surprised to free-kicks, and corners, which work in exactly the same way, fly into the net on the regular once skilled players get a feel for the new setup. Penalties have also been altered to recreate the real pressure that comes from a last-minute spot-kick. The reticle has been scrapped in favor of a timing minigame where you have to hit shoot when a shrinking composure ring is right around the ball; get it right and you’ll most likely ripple the side-netting, get it wrong and you’ll have a David Beckham vs. Turkey situation on your hands. The lack of a reticle does make aiming feel unforgiving, and it led to some incredibly sweaty palms when stepping up for the deciding penalty in a shootout, but it does a great job of translating the stress that every player must feel from 12 yards out into FIFA 23. World in HyperMotion All the talk about HyperMotion 2 and machine learning technology may feel like developer jargon, but you can feel the difference the moment you pick up FIFA 23, particularly when it comes to dribbling. FIFA 22’s dribbling felt floaty, as if you were handling a professional ice skater rather than a Premier League winger. This time around, players have a real weight to them and moving with the game’s best dribblers feels nimble and precise. Playmakers like Kevin De Bruyne or Thiago Alcantara can turn on a dime thanks to new animations, opening up spaces to play that killer pass. The same can be said across the pitch, where HyperMotion 2 has made every touch, pass, and shot feel smoother and more fluid. All in all, it gives you more control over every minute movement your players make, so it’s all the sweeter when you go on a marauding run from the midfield and glide past defenders. Defense is the best form of attack We’ve talked a lot about the attacking options in FIFA 23, but don’t worry, defenders have a few tricks up their sleeve. By holding down the slide tackle button, towering center backs can put in some truly crunching tackles straight out of the 1970s, and they feel almost as good as a goal at the other end. These hard slides send the ball out of play or straight back up the pitch for a counterattack, adding an interesting attacking wrinkle to defending. The best defenders are also armed with new animations, letting them get a crucial toe on the ball in scenarios that would have seen them hung out to dry last year. All things considered, defending is more rewarding in FIFA 23 than it has been before, and protecting your own goal no longer feels like a chore. The 12th man EA SPORTS have talked up the new presentation features quite significantly in the run-up to FIFA 23, and while this year’s game is almost definitely the most immersive football game I’ve ever played, there are some familiar issues with the game’s presentation. Crowds have been given more variety, both in their character models and their animations as they belt out chants, but they still look like mindless zombies if you look into the stands for too long. There’s also something unsettling about seeing 60,000 football fans stand up at exactly the same like some kind of droid army in replica football kits. On the pitch, the visuals are much more impressive. Pitches look lush and the new 3D nets make every goal seem like a Match of the Day highlight. Players have also been brought to life with excruciating detail, but it’s noticeable that the biggest names, such as Kylian Mbappe or Kai Havertz, look drastically better thanks to custom animations. Final thoughts If you’re going in expecting to see a drastically different game to FIFA 22, then you might be disappointed. After a handful of matches, I felt as though I’d seen every major addition that FIFA 23 had to offer, and although I’ll spend almost definitely spend hours trying to master its new Power Shots and defending mechanics, it’s hard to shake the feeling that the series is signing off with a small step forward instead of a leap. That being said, when all is said and done, it’s hard to argue that FIFA 23 is the best depiction of the beautiful game that EA has ever put to disc. HyperMotion 2 has brought a fantastic fluidity to matches, and the new setpieces are exactly what was needed to make free kicks and corners feel vital again. It may not be the reinvention that some fans wanted, but FIFA 23 is a solid foundation for the new era of EA SPORTS FC. Hopefully, the rest of the game delivers when it emerges from the tunnel this September.

  • FIFA 23 glitch is breaking walkout FUT pack animations – Dexerto

    FIFA 23 glitch is breaking walkout FUT pack animations EA SPORTSFIFA 23 players can usually see what’s coming out of their Ultimate Team packs based on certain FUT animations, but a new issue throws a spanner in the works. Knowing when it’s going to be a walkout player doesn’t spoil the fun when opening packs in FIFA 23, and it’s something many players do. There are slight differences in the FUT pack opening showcase that signal how high, or low, the best player’s overall rating will be. Though, a new glitch has completely thrown people off. FIFA 23 pack animation glitch found The camera swinging from right to left is usually a telltale sign that a high-rated card will be walking out of your Ultimate Team pack. In a YouTube video from Miniminter, he pulls Toni Kroos in a pack but realizes afterward that the general animations for the walkout had not worked as normal. He says: “Apparently it is glitched sometimes,” he says, referring to the camera swing going in the opposite direction to normal for Kroos’ arrival on-screen. The segment below starts at four minutes. He added: “Realistically, there’s no way of telling [because of the glitch].” As seen in the segment, the camera swings from right to left which usually indicates it is not a walkout. The side lights are switched on and fireworks appear above the card – so watch out for the bug. Some have speculated that it could be an intentional change, to make pack openings more predictable than usual. However, those are unconfirmed rumors at the time of writing.

  • FIFA 23 glitch duplicates Eden Hazard and it’s terrifying – Dexerto

    FIFA 23 glitch duplicates Eden Hazard and it’s terrifying EA SPORTSA FIFA 23 duplication glitch has been unearthed by players and it is forcing Eden Hazard’s face onto your staff in Career Mode. Duplicating players is a myth that runs back to some of the earliest days on Ultimate Team, where some would claim it was possible to copy a card and sell the second version. While it might not have been true back then, it certainly appears that FIFA 23 has made the impossible possible. FIFA 23 Career Mode glitch is duplicating players The issue was found by a Reddit user on FIFA 23 release date, showing that the cutscenes for announcing new signings don’t always work as smoothly as intended. These scenes – as mentioned in our review – make this year’s title much more immersive than its predecessor. After getting a deal over the line, your manager will greet them at the training ground where they are invited to a photoshoot. However, in this case, Eden Hazard (who doesn’t even play for the team) welcomes the player with another Eden Hazard. They said: “Signed Messi on a free and two Eden Hazards greeted him to our club… Eden Hazard doesn’t play for me.” In the comments, one user joked: “The fella just wants some play time, dammit Carlo.” Another said: “That’s his brother,” joking that it might be his younger brother, Thorgan Hazard. The visual glitch is hardly game-breaking and makes for a funny interaction in FIFA 23 Career Mode. Whether EA will move to investigate the issue, though, remains to be seen. Until then, you’re just going to have to deal with the Hazard duplicates if they appear.

  • FIFA 23 FUT trader explains how they “broke the cycle” of Ultimate Team addiction – Dexerto

    FIFA 23 FUT trader explains how they “broke the cycle” of Ultimate Team addiction EA Sports / sbc_tipsFIFA 23 Ultimate Team (FUT) can be exhilarating for football fans, but the thrill can quickly spiral into obsession, driven by FIFA Points. One player, “SAF Cal,” was caught in this addictive loop but found a way to break free. SAF Cal who goes by ‘sbc_tips’ on Twitter, detailed his journey from being a FIFA Points addict to becoming a FUT trader. The addictive cycle of purchasing FIFA Points for a chance at packing high-rated players was a road he knew all too well. However, a deeper understanding of EA’s terms of service coupled with a strong will to change gave him a new perspective. His message resonated with a young player battling a similar issue, which sparked a conversation about the often-overlooked addiction to in-game purchases. In a candid conversation shared on Twitter, SAF Cal described how he overcame his addiction to FIFA Points — a problem that spiraled him “worse than gambling ever did.” Cal’s method was straightforward. He studied EA’s terms of service and understood that despite the real money spent on FIFA Points, he never actually owned anything. The players, coins, and consumables were simply on loan from EA, a revelation that shifted his view toward these in-game purchases. The realization that the game’s cycle was yearly and that past successes were quickly forgotten also aided his recovery. He stated, “That coupled with knowing the FIFA cycle is yearly and that no one cares about the previous game cycle and what team you built, made FIFA Points redundant for me.” Transitioning from a FIFA Points spender to a FUT trader became his strategy. By trading, he could still build impressive FIFA teams without spending a considerable amount of real money. The thread prompted a vigorous discussion among other players who also struggle with FIFA Points addiction. While some acknowledged the issue, opinions varied on the responsibilities of players and EA in mitigating this. This conversation gains more relevance as EA transitions to its new football game, EA FC 24, after its contract with FIFA expired. The new game will continue to feature FUT mode, raising questions about the future of in-game purchases and their potential for addiction. Cal’s story shines a light on the often-overlooked problem of in-game purchase addiction.

  • What is FIFA 23 FUT Moments? Ultimate Team rewards, more – Dexerto

    What is FIFA 23 FUT Moments? Ultimate Team rewards, more EA SPORTSFIFA 23 FUT Moments is a brand-new game mode in Ultimate Team, giving players a completely different way to earn rewards in single player. Here’s a breakdown of FIFA 23 FUT Moments and what the mode means for Ultimate Team. FIFA 23 is gearing up to be the “biggest FIFA” yet, with a host of new playable leagues, as well as plenty of gameplay changes thanks to HyperMotion 2. Career Mode and Pro Clubs are also set to see substantial overhauls, but it’s no surprise that Ultimate Team is stealing the show once again. FUT Moments is the latest mode joining the likes of Division Rivals and FUT Champions in Ultimate Team, so we’ve put together a useful guide on what the mode is and why it’s worth playing. What is FIFA 23 FUT Moments? FIFA 23 FUT Moments is a brand-new Ultimate Team mode that sees players taking on a number of bite-sized single-player challenges in pursuit of rewards, broken up into campaigns related to a superstar player or an iconic tournament. Each FUT Moments game is a short scenario where players must complete a handful of objectives before time runs out. These could include completing a certain number of passes or scoring a specific type of goal in the dying embers of a match. The mode is being treated as its own live service, so while a number of campaigns will available from day one, we can expect to see more and more added as the year goes on. FIFA 23 FUT Moments rewards Completing any FUT Moments scenario rewards the player with stars, which can be exchanged in the Star Gallery for FUT packs or cards to bolster their team. The harder the difficulty selected, the more stars earned in one go. Since this new feature is existing in its own eco-system, FUT Moments isn’t tied to the same season structure as the rest of FIFA 23 Ultimate Team. This means that rewards in the Star Gallery will be swapped out at different intervals, and players can save up their stars all year if they wish to. Unlike other single-player content like Squad Battles, there is no weekly rewards scheme either. Players will earn their stars which can be exchanged as soon as the FUT Moments is complete. That was everything we know about FIFA 23 FUT Moments so far. We’ll be sure to update this page with the latest details as they emerge close to FIFA 23’s launch.

The Draft is the perfect example of this as it’s a complete game mode that EA doesn’t really need to tinker with. Its simple premise remains tried and tested and it’s versatile in that it can be enjoyed equally offline and online. Its concept remains unchanged: build a team using players you’ve selected from random groups of 5 players, use your best judgment to try and make a world-class team that also has chemistry, and attempt to win four games in a row, offline or online, against other teams built using the same method.

Here’s everything you need to know. As the last title in the FIFA series, before the developers launch the EA SPORTS FC rebrand, players are looking forward to seeing what’s in store. For Ultimate Team specifically – changes to ICONs, FUT Champions Weekend League, Division Rivals, Squad Battles, and FUT Draft will be right on their radar. On top of that, there are FUT Hero cards, which will leave fans hoping their favorite players from years gone by will return to the action. Here’s everything we know about these items in FIFA 23, from confirmed names to leaked cards. Contents FIFA 23 FUT Heroes list – What are FUT Hero cards? – FUT Hero leaked cards – How to get free Hero cards – FIFA 23 FUT Hero x Marvel collab? – FIFA 23 FUT Heroes list EA SPORTS is expected to bring back all of the players included in FUT Heroes last year, as well as additional names, which will likely be announced in a staggered way throughout July/August. We’ve already seen three Premier League favorites, and there’s likely to be plenty more still to come. The following cards are expected to feature in FIFA 23: (Bold names are new Heroes confirmed by EA) What are FUT Hero cards? FUT Hero cards are rare items available in Ultimate Team, given to cult heroes and borderline legends of the past. They were first added in FIFA 22, featuring the likes of Diego Milito, Abedi Pele, and Fernando Morientes. These have similar stats to their previous base cards in games gone by – and can be upgraded during the year. FIFA 23 FUT Hero card leaks John Arne Riise – Premier League On June 4, leaker FutBull revealed the first Hero card to be added to the mix – Liverpool’s John Arne Riise. The Norwegian fullback scored some scorching goals for the Reds and played a huge role in the Anfield club’s fifth European Cup triumph. While Riise actually missed his penalty in the 2005 shootout against AC Milan, his celebrations will live long in the memory. https://twitter.com/FutBull22/status/1544116740325789697?s=20&t=zpE_ytD5UDhMDi_7f1TdAQ It’s worth noting that leaks can come from accurate and inaccurate sources, so while these give an indication of who may be included in the FIFA 23 Hero set, take it with a pinch of salt until rumors are confirmed. How to get free FUT Hero cards It is expected that a promotional FUT Hero card will be available for FIFA 23 pre-orders, if placed before the deadline. This would reflect the offer for Ultimate Edition in the previous game, as well as Ones to Watch cards for some players too. These free cards will be released in December 2022, if the timetable is kept to. In addition to that, FUT Hero Squad Building Challenges will be rolled out during the game’s lifecycle, allowing FUT Club Owners to get their hands on some cult heroes. For example, last year there was a Player Pick SBC. FIFA 23 FUT Hero x Marvel collab Just after the first batch of FIFA 23 FUT Heroes were announced, rumors began to circulate about a possible crossover with comic-book legends Marvel. These were sparked by an image that surfaced that seemed to show the FIFA 23 and Marvel logos side-by-side. And now we can confirm that, yes, there will be a FIFA and Marvel collab in FUT 23. Though, we won’t be seeing Iron Man flying down the down in FUT Champs. Instead, a select group of FUT World Cup Heroes including Yaya Toure, Park Ji-Sung, Claudio Marchisio, Diego Forlan, Rafa Marquez, Lucio, Javier Mascherano, and the returning Landon Donovan will have unique comic book-inspired card art. These will be available through a pre-order bonus. On top of that, there will also be Marvel-inspired Heroes items including tifos, kits, balls, and more that you can use in FUT 23. That’s everything we know about FIFA 23 FUT Heroes so far – keep checking back for more leaks, updates, and confirmed names as time goes on.

Ranks Even though it’s not as important, as most people try to get their required wins and forfeit their final games, there are still different levels to achieve. Here’s a look at the ranks available in the FUT Champs Weekend League play-off.

FIFA 23 has once again remained accessible to aspiring Weekend League players and is only asking users to take part in 20 games. Back when it first began, there were 40 matches for players to wade through. This has been lessened in recent years, first to 30 matches and now down to just 20.

There’s 4 points given for a win and 1 point for a loss. In theory, players could lose all 20 games in FIFA 22 FUT Champs, unlocking Rank 9 rewards in the process. What actually happened was that many players would score an own goal and quit their match, giving free wins to speed up the process. After this formality was completed, players could end up with several free wins and earn great rewards for not actually winning any matches.

Here’s everything we know about FIFA 23 FUT Centurions so far, including the players included in Team 1. FIFA 23 is well into its lifecycle now, and EA have been things fresh with regular promo cards for players to hunt down. Kicking off with Ones to Watch back in September, fans have been treated to weekly events, with Winter Wildcards set to bring 2022 to a close. But 2023 is a new year, and players will no doubt be wondering what the devs have up their sleeves for the second half of the season. FUT Centurions is the first event of the new year, marking the first time the promo has featured in Ultimate Team. Here’s everything we know about FIFA 23 FUT Centurions so far, from Team 1, to who we expect to see in Team 2. Contents FIFA 23 FUT Centurions Team 2 leaked – FIFA 23 FUT Centurions Team 1 – FIFA 23 FUT Centurions start date – What is FIFA 23 FUT Centurions? – FIFA 23 FUT Centurions predictions – FIFA 23 FUT Centurions Team 2 leaked In the lead-up to FIFA 23 FUT Centurions Team 2, leaker FUT Sheriff has been revealing the players set to feature in the squad.

There are currently very few details about FIFA 23 FUT Centurions as the devs are yet to officially reveal it, but the title of the event could give us some major clues. Based on the name ‘Centurions,’ it’s safe to assume that the promo will revolve around players who have hit certain milestones of 100. This could be an achievement like netting 100 goals in a certain domestic league, or earning a century of caps for their country. It could even celebrate the biggest transfers of the last few years and include those moved for fees of more than £100 million. Well-known leaker FUT Sheriff has also confirmed this theory, claiming the event is focused on the “longevity” of football’s biggest names.

  • FIFA 23 fastest players: Strikers, wingers, midfielders & defenders – Dexerto

    FIFA 23 fastest players: Strikers, wingers, midfielders & defenders EA SportsThe fastest players in FIFA 23 will, like many entries before it, dominate the pitch by pace. Having the quickest players in the game is essential for FUT Champions and Division Rivals. Our guide will show you the fastest strikers, wingers, midfielders, and defenders in FIFA 23 Ultimate Team. Having the fastest players in FIFA 23 won’t guarantee you anything as you can have a 70-pace striker that can bury shots straight into the top corner for fun. Whereas a defender who’s not the fastest makes up for their speed with presence, physicality, and unbelievable intelligence and awareness on the pitch. Pace was overhauled in FIFA 23, thanks to the incorporation of Lengthy, Controlled, and Explosive acceleration types. In addition to these new traits, a player’s base speed stats are still a great indicator of how speedy they are. Without further ado, here is our complete guide to the fastest players in FIFA 23 Ultimate Team, as well as their acceleration type. Contents Fastest players in FIFA 23 – Fastest attackers in FIFA 23 – Fastest midfielders in FIFA 23 – Fastest defenders in FIFA 23 – Top 15 fastest players in FIFA 23 EA likes to change things up from game to game based on real-life performances, and there has definitely been then odd pace change shock here and there in FIFA 23. So here are the top 15 fastest players in FIFA 23 across all positions. Fastest attackers in FIFA 23 Scoring goals is the key to winning football matches and to do this successfully in FIFA 23, chances are that you’re going to need some speedy wingers, and quick and direct strikers. Pacey attackers are crucial as they terrorize defenses and create more chances during the course of a match, so let’s go through the players we think will be at the top of this chart. Fastest midfielders in FIFA 23 Whether you need an Attacking Midfielder that can penetrate through the final third of the pitch to get a shot away or pick a pass, or a Defensive Midfielder who can spring around the middle of the park at speed — pace is still key. These are the midfielders that you will find to be the fastest in FIFA 23. Fastest defenders in FIFA 23 Even the best FIFA 23 players will get a bit tetchy when they see a 90+ pace winger with unreal agility and ball control running at breakneck speed toward their backline. Center-backs and full-backs with pace are crucial to withstanding the onslaught of pace abusers, so with that in mind, here are some rapid defenders to consider. This should give you a good idea of what players to look forward to in FIFA 23 Ultimate Team in terms of pace and how you can shape your team around them.

  • FIFA 23 FUT Ballers: All players, how it works & more – Dexerto

    FIFA 23 FUT Ballers: All players, how it works & more Graphics: EA SPORTSA brand-new Ultimate Team promo is here for FIFA 23 in the form of FUT Ballers. Here’s everything we know about the game’s new event. Even though it’s the last year under the FIFA umbrella and we had a midseason World Cup, the FIFA 23 promo cycle has been pretty normal when it comes to Ultimate Team. EA SPORTS has brought back plenty of fan-favorite promos over the last few months, and have only added one or two new ones like FUT Centurions and World Cup Stories. The final FUT Birthday celebration was slated to be the next promo. However, EA unveiled the first ever FIT Ballers promo team instead. How long is FUT Ballers in FIFA 23? FUT Ballers started on Friday, March 17, 2023, at 11 AM PT/2 PM ET/6 PM GMT/7 PM CEST. It’s only slated to run for a week before FUT Birthday fully gets underway, so enjoy it while it lasts. FIFA 23 FUT Ballers revealed There aren’t many FUT Ballers cards, but each offers an extremely compelling option for lineups. Fans will especially be drawn to Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Luis Diaz who always have popular FIFA cards. How will FUT Ballers work in FIFA 23? So, how will it all work? Instead, of in packs these cards are available through different objectives and SBCs – similar to how the Showdown Series has worked. On top of that, these cards will receive gradual upgrades like last year’s Adidas 99 promo. This would mean that one selected attribute for each player will have the chance to max out at 99, but will also receive a significant boost from the get-go. As soon as we know more – including more confirmed players – we’ll update this article. So, be sure to check back for more!

  • FIFA 23 fans furious as ‘Legacy Edition’ is the same game again for four years running – Dexerto

    FIFA 23 fans furious as ‘Legacy Edition’ is the same game again for four years running EA SportsEA’s FIFA 23 Legacy Edition on the Nintendo Switch looks to be yet another iteration devoid of any of the new console edition’s gameplay features for the fourth year running. Most FIFA fans have come to expect very little for the football franchise on the Nintendo Switch as each year EA dishes out a barebones offering with next-to-no improvements. Whereas FIFA 23 on the PS5 and Xbox Series X will be welcoming all-new features and gameplay improvements to make the most precise, free-flowing football game possible, the Nintendo Switch will be getting no-such love. FIFA 23 Legacy Edition on Switch not surprising EA first introduced the ‘Legacy’ concept on Nintendo Switch with FIFA 20 as the game was advertised as being a reskin of FIFA 19, just with updated kits and club rosters. Fast-forward to FIFA 23, and despite years of complaints that Switch owners are being overlooked, EA has once again made the call to make FIFA 23 on the Switch a Legacy Edition. The only difference between FIFA 22 Legacy Edition and FIFA 23 Legacy Edition is that the new iteration will include this season’s kits, more updated players, new Stadiums, and the introduction of the Women’s Super League – that’s it. FIFA players on the Switch have responded with yet more gripes about EA’s actions: “Not buying it this year. Sick of being classed as irrelevant by EA,” one frustrated player said. On the other hand, another user had this to say: “Will they not make more if they just went F2P?” For all the public outcry about EA’s persistence in releasing a Legacy Edition year on year, you’d have to imagine the only reason they keep bringing out a game at all is that people keep buying it. As long as this happens, you’d have to imagine that this will incentivize EA to overlook the Nintendo Switch just as much moving forward.

  • FIFA 23 Fantasy FUT: Team 2 revealed, Team 1, more – Dexerto

    FIFA 23 Fantasy FUT: Team 2 revealed, Team 1, more Graphics: EA SPORTSThe Fantasy FUT promo officially made its return in FIFA 23, and EA unveiled the event’s first batch of players. For the most part, EA SPORTS have kept the same promos in FIFA Ultimate Team over the last few years, and you can set your watch by the releases of the likes of Team of the Year, FUT Birthday, Road to the Final, and more. Last year in FIFA 22, they introduced a new promo called Fantasy FUT. It worked in a similar way to other previous promos, as select players would get upgrades if their team matched a few of the pre-set conditions by EA like keep clean sheets or staying undefeated. It proved to be a pretty popular promo, with EA releasing two separate squads for it. Now, as we enter into March, it’s been confirmed that it’ll make a return in FIFA 23. So, here’s what you need to know. Fantasy FUT Team 2 Eden Hazard and Ruben Diaz highlight a star-studded FUT Fantasy Team 2. For players operating on a budget, Emre Can and Kaoru Mitoma offer a compelling option for your Weekend League squads. If money is no concern, Roberto Di Natale and Saeed Al-Owairan are new Hero cards. Fantasy FUT Team 1 EA Surprised fans with not one but two FUT Fantasy teams. The first one features exciting cards, such as Marcos Llorente and William Saliba, while the second team includes ICONS like David Ginola and Ivan Cordoba. What are the Fantasy FUT upgrades in FIFA 23? As noted, the players involved in Fantasy FUT will get upgrades based on their team’s real-world performances from league games beginning March 17. Again, as per FUTSheriff, ICONs will get upgrades based on the club that they played for at the time. So, for example, David Ginola’s boosts will be based on how Newcastle United get on, rather than PSG. +1 – 1 win in 6 games – +1 – 3 appearances in next 6 games – +1 – 2 clean sheets in next 6 games (GK/DEF)/2 goals or assists (MID/FWD) – +1 – Avoid defeat in next 6 games (Just win or draw) – That’s everything we know about the FUT Fantasy promo in FIFA 23.

  • All new FIFA 23 face scans & player starheads – Dexerto

    All new FIFA 23 face scans & player starheads EAFIFA 23 face scans are a great way to highlight the new and improved graphics for EA’s latest football simulation. This is all the latest information on the game’s face scans and player starheads. EA’s long-running football franchise continues to be the best way to enjoy the beautiful game and one of the ways in which it shines is its graphics. FIFA has come on leaps and bounds over the years in terms of immersion and presenting an authentic-looking game of football. FIFA 23 is set to be the first fully-fledged title to be developed with the PS5 and Xbox Series X|S at the forefront of its plans. As such, expectations have been high in terms of how the game would end up looking, and, thankfully, it’s looking amazing! We already know a bit about what to expect from the game’s face scans, also known as starheads, and the capturing of its top players, so let’s jump right in. Contents Confirmed FIFA 23 Team face scans so far – Confirmed FIFA 23 Player face scans so far – New FIFA 23 starheads expected – Confirmed FIFA 23 Team face scans so far Thanks to reliable FIFA leaker DonkTrading, we know that Chelsea have definitely had new scans with multiple players having had them done already. The North London club has some of the finest talents in the world from promising players such as Mason Mount, to established, world-class names like N’Golo Kante and Thiago Silva. As more information is revealed about FIFA 23, the final game under this moniker before its rebranding, we expect to learn more about new scans being done for the game. Confirmed FIFA 23 Player face scans so far Again, we only know of Chelsea being subject to the face scan treatment so far, and Donk has confirmed that several players have gotten an update, including manager Thomas Tuchel. 🔎 Chelsea 🏴 players have all recently had new face scans ready for #FIFA23 Including Manager, Thomas Tuchel. — Donk (@DonkTrading) June 7, 2022 The importance of player face scans was highlighted by some FIFA fans who have been calling for the likes of global superstars Karim Benzema and Lionel Messi to get new face scans as they are outdated, especially with Messi no longer having a beard. So we expect to see a hefty overhaul of face scans this time around. New FIFA 23 starheads expected Generally, EA only has so much manpower, and so not every player in the world can receive a full player scan to incorporate them into the game. However, after the events of the 2021-22 football and other factors such as license acquisition, we’re anticipating some new face scans for FIFA 23. Juventus After being away since 2020 known as Calcio Piemento, the Serie A giants are set to be fully reintegrated back into FIFA 23 by getting their name back, amongst other official properties. As such, we expect the squad to get a complete overhaul in the player face department to signify that Juventus is well and truly back in FIFA 23. Promoted Premier League teams Whilst the Premier League has had to say goodbye to Norwich, Burnley, and Watford, it will welcome Fulham, Bournemouth, and Nottingham Forest to the big time! Expect a host of up-to-date player faces for all the teams as well as their respective managers. World Cup The 2022 World Cup is set to be the most unusual one ever as it will take place during the regular season. A Christmas welcome beckons and as EA has already confirmed that FIFA 23 will get World Cup content, it’s likely that all 32 teams involved will be captured in all their glory. EA licensed partner clubs Certain clubs like Real Madrid, Liverpool, Manchester City, etc, are all closely partnered with EA which should mean that those clubs with close ties to the company will get another full treatment of player and manager captures and even updated stadiums too. As always, the closer we get to the game’s release date, the more information we’ll have on FIFA 23. Stay tuned for all the latest information on the game as we learn more about its gameplay, modes, and of course, more player faces and starheads.

  • FIFA 23 Elite players slam “impossible” Homegrown Eleven challenge – Dexerto

    FIFA 23 Elite players slam “impossible” Homegrown Eleven challenge EA SPORTSFIFA 23 Future Stars Promo added a new set of swaps tokens, but players are struggling to complete one of the required challenges. FIFA 23’s annual Team of the Year promo is almost in the books, and Future Stars is next on the schedule. The event awards epically boosted cards to football’s next class of superstars. Community members have praised the promo in previous FIFA games for being one of the most exciting. Future Stars puts a spotlight on players currently aged 23 and under. In past seasons stars like Jude Bellingham and Kai Havertz received cards before they broke out onto the scene. FIFA 23’s iteration also includes swap tokens, which can be earned by completing SBCs, objectives, or playing matches. The Future Stars swaps tokens rewards include a Prime Icon player pick, Mid George Best, Player Moments Coutinho, and more. However, a difficult objective is proving to be too much of an insurmountable roadblock for some in the community. FIFA 23 players can’t get past Homegrown Eleven friendly challenge Winning seven out of 12 matches in the Homegrown Eleven Online Friendly mode unlocks a Future Star swaps token. The limited-time game mode forces players to use 18 first-owned players in the starting 11 and on the bench. Some community members believe that only using SBC and pack-pulled cards provides players an unfair advantage. A frustrated FIFA 23 player took to Reddit and asked if EA expects players to be able to complete the challenge. Some FIFA 23 players accused the mode of being pay to win, as one user argued, “buying lots of packs from the store increases your chances of getting cards to compete in this game mode.” One player responded, “What’s crazy is that it’s mathematically not even possible for the entire Player base to get this token.” A second user added, “very disappointed with EA for this. Let people get tokens and have fun. I offered my last 2 matches. I hope I made someone happy, at least. Games were as sweaty as rivals or WL.” Completing SBCs is an easy way to earn powerful first-owned players. So build up your best starting 11 and give this challenge a try for yourself.

  • FIFA 23 eWorld Cup final called “laughing stock” as controller appears on big screen during pens – Dexerto

    FIFA 23 eWorld Cup final called “laughing stock” as controller appears on big screen during pens EA SportsManuBachoore defeated Mark11 in the FIFA 23 eWorld Cup final, but a controversial penalty shootout has the competitive community up in arms. 24 of the best FIFA players in the world competed in the FIFA 23 eWorld Cup to take home a $300,000 check and a world championship trophy. After a grueling tournament, FUTWIZ Mark11 and Team Guilet ManuBachoore met in the grand final. Mark11 got off to a 2-0 lead in the first leg, but ManuBachoore roared back to tie the fixture 2-2. The second leg came down to a penalty shootout, and chaos ensued. FIFA 23 eWorld Cup penalty shootout controversy explained Both players play on separate monitors, and one big screen in the back shows the match to fans in the audience. The big screen mirrored Mark11’s screen but also showed an overlay of his controller and its exact movements. Mark11 allegedly tried to alert the match officials three times before the penalty kicks started because ManuBachoore could potentially look over and see where he was shooting. But the match went on, and Mark11 lost the shootout. FUTWIZ defended its player and claimed: “Mark clearly raised this issue 3 times before penalties started, and nothing was done, so we get left with the biggest final of the year completely ruined by unnecessary circumstances. Disregarding your own rules is a disgrace.” Other FIFA community members backed Mark11. FIFA streamer R9Rai responded: “FIFA eSports proving again why it’s a laughing stock. Mark tried to tell them, and they didn’t do anything. 300k on the line, and you’ve got his controller on the main screen in a pen shootout. Laughable should be replayed right now.” Fellow FUTWIZ pro-FIFA player EthxnH added: “Putting Mark11’s controller for PENALTIES on the big screen is unacceptable. They 99.9% didn’t cheat by looking, but it’s absolutely disgraceful…” In a post-match interview, ManuBachoore denied looking at the screen and claimed: “I was constantly looking at my own screen. I didn’t look back one time… I don’t think it changed anything.” FIFAe addresses eWorld Cup controversy Shortly after the situation unfolded, the official FIFAe Twitter account addressed the controversy with a lengthy statement. “All players have been informed at the start of the FIFAe World Cup 2023 that if they actively decide themselves to show the input overlay, it might be displayed on broadcast and in the arena,” they clarified. The statement assured all players were aware of the fact the home console feed was visible on stream and in the arena, noting that the semi-final penalty shootout was much the same. “No further concerns” were raised by players on the matter ahead of the final, the statement claimed. “After thorough review of the footage, we can also confirm that no player received a competitive advantage as the opposite team only watched their own screen. “The final decision has been taken based on review of competition footage, in line with the player terms and conditions, and following detailed briefings about controller and broadcast settings to all players during practice matches.”

  • FIFA 23 easter egg brings Wrexham’s Ryan Reynolds to the game, with a twist – Dexerto

    FIFA 23 easter egg brings Wrexham’s Ryan Reynolds to the game, with a twist EA SPORTSFIFA 23 players have, after almost four months, finally uncovered an easter egg that brings Wrexham AFC owners Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney to the game in an unusual way. The story of Wrexham’s new Hollywood ownership has captured the footballing world over the last year or so, as actors Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney have started pouring their souls into the Welsh club. Even though they’re still in the National League, the Red Dragons have made waves across the internet since being taken over by the actors. They’ve got a sponsorship with TikTok, their own documentary series in the form of Welcome to Wrexham, and they’re in FIFA 23 despite the National League not being a licensed league. Given their lowly standing, it’s not a shock that many players simply don’t play as Wrexham. Though, it seems those who have been a little curious about them have uncovered quite the easter egg. How to get Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney Wrexham commentary in FIFA 23 With the calendar turning over from 2022 to 2023, some FIFA players have finally noticed that Reynolds and McElhenney actually play a part in the game – provided you meet certain conditions. If you play as Wrexham against either Liverpool or Stockport County, you’ll hear the two Hollywood actors actually introducing the game in their trademark comedic style. The contest between Wrexham and Liverpool makes references to the sizable difference in the two clubs’ stature while there is a bit of jealousy from the actors that Stockport beat them to promotion in their first year. Clips of the commentary have quickly gone viral on social media, and players have been trying a few different match-ups to see if there are any other references. Though, as it stands, only these two have been found. Who knows, if Wrexham finally get promoted, we might just hear more from Reynolds and McElhenney next year. It’d be nice to get an Always Sunny in Philadelphia reference if you take on the Philadelphia Union, for example.

  • FIFA 23 early access & FUT Web App guide: Trading tips & how to make 10 hours count – Dexerto

    FIFA 23 early access & FUT Web App guide: Trading tips & how to make 10 hours count EA SPORTSFIFA 23 players can play Ultimate Team early with the FUT Web App and EA Play early access. Knowing how to make the most of the pre-release period is important if you want to get coins fast – so here’s some things you need to know. Playing Ultimate Team early allows you to take advantage of a hardly settled marketplace in-game and FIFA 23 will be no different. On the Web App and Companion App, players can accrue a number of valuable cards for a fraction of their release day value. In addition, there are also free rewards and other opportunities you can make use of to get your squad in a healthy place before the full game hits the shelves. Knowing the dates of pre-launch windows is an important starting point. So, let’s run through the dates… FIFA 23 release schedule: EA Play, Web App, Companion App FIFA 22 Web App release date: September 21 – FIFA 22 Companion app release date: September 21 – FIFA 22 early access start date: September 27 – FIFA 23 Web App & Companion App trading tips The Web App and Companion App may not be a place to make money by playing games, though there are some things you should be doing to kick things off with a bang. Buy high-rated FUT cards With the demand for 82, 83, 84 OVR players likely to rise across all leagues once FIFA 23 launches, as players look to complete Squad Building Challenges, you should invest in the cheaper cards with these ratings. If you shop around, you could get these for between 900-1400 coins and resell them during early access or on release day. Don’t quick sell Quick selling your items or players is a bad idea for the Web App, Companion App or EA Play. You will always make more money – even if you have to relist the items a few times – by selling on the market. The temptation to discard cards is always there because it is a quick way to get your hands on coins, though you will be walking away from easy profits. Be smart with chemistry styles The chances of keeping the vast majority of your Web App team once FIFA 23 comes out is slim, so don’t waste time – or money – putting Chemistry style cards on players. Lots of people will fall into this trap so sell yours and make a fast profit. Cash isn’t king There is a choice in front of FUT Club owners, right off the bat. Either you can choose to rack up a pot of coins from the Web App / Companion App to spend later, or invest the coins into players that could grow in value. The second is usually the best option as spending power will always decrease when the game releases. While there’s not much wealth in the economy, we’d encourage you to make moves. FIFA 23 EA Play early access tips: 10-hour trial EA Play members will be granted 10 hours of gameplay, which they can use for any game mode in FIFA 23. As this is a FUT guide, we’ll be focusing on how to make the most of your limited time. Time management is key As Neil Warnock once famously said: “By all means, enjoy it, but enjoy it by being disciplined.” Wasting hours hanging around the menus, searching for players, and bouncing between other game modes will make your 10 hours feel like three hours of gameplay. If you just stick to playing Ultimate Team games, this will maximize your chances of racking up coins. Build your FUT team on Web App / Companion App Playing early access should really be a two-screen experience for players who want to make the most of it. Having your team builder on the laptop or mobile screen while playing matches on the console or PC is the best way to go. It will save you bundles of time. Completing SBCs There are some really good Squad Building Challenges to kick things off, though your time will be best spent completing these on the App. Don’t sit there for hours finding players and plugging holes in your SBC teams. Save all that for the desktop or movbile. Can you buy packs in FIFA 23 early access? This is always one of the biggest questions each year… Can you buy packs in early access? The answer is absolutely, yes. The best approach is to buy the FIFA Points on early access but open the packs using Companion or Web App – save yourself the time of animations cutting into those 10 hours.

  • FIFA 23 Division Rivals rewards: Ranks, release times & more – Dexerto

    FIFA 23 Division Rivals rewards: Ranks, release times & more EA SPORTSFIFA 23 Ultimate Team’s Division Rivals mode offers a competitive playground with exciting rewards. Here’s a look at the rewards system and player benefits within FUT 23 Division Rivals. The excitement within Ultimate Team is amplified by its mixture of legendary icons and emerging talents, complemented by seasonal events by EA. FUT 23 has no shortage of ways to earn rewards, from the new FUT Moments to tried and tested modes like Squad Battles and FUT Champions. For most players, Division Rivals will be their go-to mode to against other real-life opponents, especially given its continued importance in qualifying for FUT Champions. Here’s everything there is to know about FIFA 23 Division Rivals rewards. Contents FIFA 23 Division Rivals explained – FIFA 23 Division Rivals rewards explained – When do Division Rivals rewards come out in FIFA 23? – FIFA 23 Division Rivals rewards: Ranks & prizes – FIFA 23 Division Rivals explained FIFA 23 Divison Rivals works on a seasonal progression system, where players climb up through the leagues by winning online matches. Each division is broken up into a series of steps, and players move along the ladder as follows: Win – one step forward – Lose – one step back – Draw – hold current position – There are 10 divisions to grind through, as well as an Elite Division for the most skilled players. Winning three games in a row also unlocks a multiplier, meaning that one win gains two steps forward for as long as the streak continues. They will still only count as one win towards your rewards. In FIFA 22, EA made it so that the first step in each new division was a checkpoint, meaning it became impossible to be relegated. That feature returns in FUT 23, despite issues it caused as players found themselves stuck facing opponents of a higher skill level. At the start of a new season, players are dropped back into a new starting division depending on their previous campaign. FIFA 23 Division Rivals rewards explained There are two types of FIFA 23 Division Rivals rewards — weekly and Milestones. Weekly rewards are based on the division a player is currently sat in, as well as how many wins they’ve earned over the last seven days. The weekly rewards are calculated as follows: 3 Wins – Base Rewards – 8 Wins – Upgraded Rewards – Milestone rewards are calculated at the end of in-game seasons. Here, wins don’t matter. Instead, players have to play a certain number of matches to earn gradually better prizes. Here’s another breakdown of the Milestones reward requirements: Milestone 1 – 20 matches – Milestone 2 – 50 matches – Milestone 3 – 90 matches – When do Division Rivals rewards come out in FIFA 23? FIFA 23 Division Rivals weekly rewards drop every Thursday morning, with the specific time they’re accessible depending on your location. The times you can claim your rewards are outlined below: 1 AM PDT – 2 AM CDT – 3 AM EDT – 7 AM GMT – 9 AM CEST – 5 PM AEDT (AUS – next day) – Unsurprisingly, the milestone rewards are dished out at the end of each in-game season.

  • FIFA 23 devs finally respond to TOTY Courtois error – Dexerto

    FIFA 23 devs finally respond to TOTY Courtois error EA SportsEA Sports issued a statement after the base version of Thibaut Courtois appeared in FIFA 23 packs instead of the TOTY version. FIFA 23’s annual TOTY promo began on January 20, 2023. World Cup winner Lionel Messi and Champions League winner Karim Benzema highlight a star-studded lineup. Not to mention Kylian Mbappe and Kevin De Bruyne, who also received outrageous TOTY upgrades. TOTY goalkeepers usually get overshadowed by flashier midfield and attacker counterparts, but having the right player between the posts is essential in FIFA 23. Thibaut Courtois helped lead Real Madrid to a Champions League title, making nine saves in the Final against Liverpool. The Belgian goalkeeper earned a TOTY card for his outstanding season, and fans were excited to add him to their FUT teams. However, a glitch incorrectly gave players Courtois’s base version in packs instead of the TOTY card. EA Sports address FIFA 23 TOTY Courtois glitch On January 25, EA Sports announced, “the base version of the Courtois Player Item was incorrectly available in packs instead of the Team of the Year version. This issue has been addressed, and impacted players will receive the corrected Player Item in-game in the coming days.” Unfortunately, there is a precedent for such errors affecting FUT. 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. Players impacted by the glitch will receive a TOTY Thibaut Courtois card, but the developers did not specify an exact date or time. We will provide an update when we learn more about the situation.

  • FIFA 23 dev reveals reason for major Ultimate Team Chemistry shake-up – Dexerto

    FIFA 23 dev reveals reason for major Ultimate Team Chemistry shake-up EA SPORTSFIFA 23 Ultimate Team brings in a total overhaul to the Chemistry system, marking one of the biggest changes to a core FUT feature fans have seen for many years. The game’s gameplay design director, Kantcho Doskov, has explained the thinking behind the changes and addressed some of the early confusion. Football fans around the world are finally dropping into FIFA 23 for the first time, and the yearly Ultimate Team grind is back on. For all of the exciting new features present in the mode in FIFA 23, the main change players will notice as soon as they fire up Ultimate Team is the revamped Chemistry system. The tried-and-tested setup, which saw players link to those around them in the formation, has been scrapped, with every member of the starting 11 now offering links to every other player in the team. Players are now assigned a Chemistry rating out of three, based on how many of their teammates share a league, nation, or club with them. This means that managers now have to consider far factors if they want to achieve perfect harmony within their squad. In an interview with Dexerto, FIFA 23 gameplay design director, Kantcho Doskov, gave some insight as to why such a vital feature has been overhauled after all this time. “Even as a fan I play Ultimate Team, every year I try to build my favorite fantasy squad. But the thing is, often in the past, I couldn’t put in players that I wanted to because they didn’t link up in the previous system,” Doskov explained. “The most interesting thing for me is that now I can put certain players together that may not have bonded well in the old system. So it gives more possibilities and more variety in the types of squads you can build – that’s why I’m excited.” As you can probably imagine, fans who have become accustomed to the same Chemistry system for over are struggling to adapt. After both the Web App and early access went live for creators, key figures in the FUT community mentioned that they were still confused about how to achieve maximum Chemistry within their squads and in SBCs. When asked about fans’ struggles to navigate the new system, Kantcho Doskov said that the team expected some early teething issues, but he thinks that players will embrace the change long-term. “I think there’s a bit of a learning curve, it’s because it’s been a certain way for so many years and now it’s completely different. You have to try a few things out, it’s going to take a little bit of time. But I think once people figure it out, it’s gonna feel really satisfying to build those different versions of squads that you can do before.” There’s no doubt that Chemistry in FIFA 23 is a huge departure from what FUT fans are used to, but only time will tell if fans to take to the revamped system and make the most of the flexibility that the developers are trying to offer them. FIFA 23 launches worldwide on September 30, and with a boatload of top-rated stars and SBCs available on day one, players won’t have to wait too long to try out the new-look squad building.

  • FIFA 23 devs apologize after accidental nerf to four promo cards – Dexerto

    FIFA 23 devs apologize after accidental nerf to four promo cards EA SPORTSEA Sports apologized for incorrectly lowering the attributes of four FIFA 23 players and resolved the issue. Reddit and Twitter quickly jumped on the news of FIFA 23 FUT Centurion card, Zlatan Ibrahimovic, receiving an unexplained nerf. The Swedish striker’s stamina decreased from 85 to 61, his agility went down to 76 from 85, and his balance was reduced by 24 points. Ibrahimovic is always a fan-favorite player in FIFA, yet his FUT Centurion card price plummeted from over four million to just about three after the nerf. EA released a hotfix on January 18, confirming the changes were made inadvertently. However, the developers failed to mention compensation for players affected by the price fluctuations. EA’s lack of clarity served as a breach of trust to some FIFA 23 community members, as they questioned if other cards secretly get nerfed behind the scenes. On January 19, the developers addressed other cards, which suffered from a similar issue. EA addresses incorrectly lowering FIFA 23 attributes EA announced: “An unintended issue lowered some Attributes for 4 Player Items in FUT following the most recent Price Range update.” Rulebreakers Ribery and Dzeko, Road to the Knockouts Aubameyang, and Winter Wildcards Jesus were all dealt with inadvertent nerfs. FIFA 23 streamer Nick28T responded, “Insane that these are issues, but we appreciate the honest communication and swift fixes. Keep it up.” 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. A second community member claimed, “Only correcting it because you were caught out. It was intentional.” FIFA 23 players are losing patience with mistakes costing them hard-earned coins in FUT.

  • FIFA 22 leaker reveals EA plans to take Fortnite’s two biggest features – Dexerto

    FIFA 22 leaker reveals EA plans to take Fortnite’s two biggest features EA SPORTSIt’s hard to look up any info about FIFA 22 without seeing leaks for the next game, but a new tease has some fans scratching their heads as it would be a massive change for the series. Currently, all the talk in the FIFA world is obviously about the next installment of the game coming in October, 2021 and all of the changes it will hopefully bring. But, an interesting bit of info apparently leaked on July 17 about FIFA 23, of all things, taking some features from none other than Fortnite — and it’s so wild it’s a bit hard to believe EA would actually add these. Crossplay for FIFA 23? https://twitter.com/DonkTrading/status/1416497756747796480?s=20 One thing that’s been hot on the mind of players is the possibility of crossplay for future games in the FIFA series. There’s no telling yet if EA will be able to implement the highly requested feature for 22, but according to FIFA leaker @DonkTrading on Twitter, that’s just what we’re in store for. Epic Games allows players to face off in Fortnite no matter what console or platform they’re on, and seeing as FIFA isn’t a first-person shooter, you’d think EA Sports would have no problem implementing it for the football sim either. Now, we have to admit it’s not much of a leak, if you can even call it that, but Donk has been reliable in the past, so it’s interesting that they would be tweeting this seemingly out of nowhere. Still, it’s important to note there’s no way to verify this info, so take it with a grain of salt. Will FIFA be going free-to-play? Along with the crossplay tease, Donk also went a step further and hinted that FIFA 23 could even be going free-to-play. Even though some might see EA offering up free gameplay as a long shot, it might not actually be entirely out of the realm of possibility — all thanks to Ultimate Team. There’s no doubt FUT is where EA makes the lion’s share of their money from FIFA, so why not offer up just that game mode as a free-to-play option? Players who want to play careers or anything else would still have to buy the game, and there’s a good chance some players will get into FUT and spend money on coins, packs, and all those goodies. It would seem like a win-win for EA, but again, there’s absolutely nothing backing up Donk’s claims here, so while they’d make for interesting speculation, we can’t do much more than that for the time being.

  • FIFA 23 dev explains how new pace system will shake up FUT meta – Dexerto

    FIFA 23 dev explains how new pace system will shake up FUT meta EA SPORTSFIFA 23 introduces a new acceleration system that drastically changes how different players use their pace, and the game’s gameplay design director thinks it could impact the Ultimate Team meta. After months of build-up, FIFA 23 has opened its turnstiles and fans are flooding to see what EA SPORTS has in store for them this year. There are plenty of new features to enjoy, from FUT Moments to crossplay support, but there are also HyperMotion 2 gameplay changes that need to be experienced to be fully appreciated. One of these on-the-pitch innovations is the new AcceleRATE system, which sorts every player into one of three archetypes when it comes to their pace: Explosive, Lengthy, and Controlled. Explosive players are quick off the line and can put their pace down right away, Lengthy means they take time to accelerate but are very fast once up to speed, and Controlled is a middle point between the two. Pace has always been of the most crucial stats in a FIFA game, and fans are immediately drawn to Ultimate Team cards that excel in that area, no matter the position. AcceleRATE marks this biggest change we’ve seen to speed in many years, and, in an exclusive interview with Dexerto, FIFA 23’s gameplay design director Kantcho Dokov explained that the system came from watching real-world stars. “It’s all about the different ways that players accelerate and we saw this when we looked at real football,” said Doskov. “We noticed that even a player like Van Dijk, he’s actually very fast it just takes them a little bit longer to get up to speed. “But not just that, he can accelerate when he’s running fast, like you can be sprinting but then he can step into an extra gear to sprint even faster. Whereas other players like Mbappe can get off the mark so quickly and go from zero to 100 in a few steps.” Fans reading this will be most interested to see how the Ultimate Team meta benefits from the feature. Pace has often been the most important stat in the entire mode, and even top-rated players who aren’t the fastest, such as Harry Kane or Mats Hummels, have been virtually unusable after a few weeks. Kantcho Doskov felt that AcceleRATE could bring some of those players a new lease of life, and the team isn’t opposed to tweaking things to ensure the balance is just right. “Players who may not have the highest pace – but they can accelerate over longer distances – I think it makes them useful,” he continued. “It brings more variety into the way players run and accelerate, so I think it’s good for the game in general. “How it plays out with the FUT meta, we’ll see. But I’m cautiously optimistic that it’ll work out and if it doesn’t, we always have the live tuning [updates] to try to rebalance it throughout the year.” Only time will tell how the new pace setup plays out, especially once the Ultimate Team season kicks into top gear with weekly promos and heavily-boosted cards. Hopefully, the changes mean that FIFA 23 will support more playstyles and team setups than ever before.

  • FIFA 23 Cover Star Icons promo leaks: Ronaldinho, Rooney, more – Dexerto

    FIFA 23 Cover Star Icons promo leaks: Ronaldinho, Rooney, more Graphics: EA SPORTSEA SPORTS looks set to give FIFA 23 a massive send-off ahead of EA FC 24, with an Icons promo for previous Cover Stars. Here’s what we know. Over the last few months, fans of the iconic FIFA series have been readying themselves for the first massive change in years. Instead of the next installment of the game being called FIFA 24, it will, instead, be EA SPORTS FC. The game will be the same as EA SPORTS has all the licenses for players, clubs, stadiums, and everything else, plus things like Ultimate Team and Career Mode will be making a return. The only thing that’s changing is the name. As a result, it appears as if they’re celebrating the previous years of FIFA with one big final promo in Ultimate Team, reflecting on the Cover Stars of years gone by. Though, we’re unlikely to get a massive Lionel Messi upgrade as it’s set to focus on Icons. FIFA 23 Cover Star Icons: Who could be involved? That’s right, a number of FIFA leakers have been able to get their hands on details about an all-new promo known as Cover Star Icons. Just as the name suggests, current Ultimate Team Icons who have graced FIFA covers in the past are set to get an upgrade here. We may even see their artwork change to correspond with the iconic covers. We haven’t got any confirmed cards from EA just yet, but there are 13 Icons in FIFA 23 who have previously been Cover Stars, so we’re expecting most, if not all, of them to be involved. Sadly, current players who have been on FIFA covers like Messi, Ronaldo, Mbappe, and Hazard are unlikely to feature in this promo. Ronaldinho – Wayne Rooney – Kaka – Thierry Henry – David Beckham – Patrick Viera – Andriy Shevchenko – Alessandro Del Piero – Denis Bergkamp – Roberto Carlos – Frank Lampard – Sol Campbell – Paul Scholes – FIFA 23 Cover Star Icons: Is there a release date? Again, we do not have an official release date for the Cover Stars promo, but given we know that FUTTIES is still running for a few weeks yet, we’re not expecting it anytime soon. Some leakers have indicated that it’s unlikely to be a massive promo in the vein of FUTTIES or Team of the Season, so it’s likely that it’d release on a Tuesday or Wednesday instead of taking the main Friday slot when it does eventually release. Once we know more about this end-of-year promo, we’ll be sure to update this article with more information. So, be sure to check back for more in the next few weeks!

  • FIFA 23 Career Mode doesn’t solve big transfer problem for managers – Dexerto

    FIFA 23 Career Mode doesn’t solve big transfer problem for managers EA SPORTSEA has announced a package of FIFA 23 Career Mode changes, but another year is going by with a huge missed opportunity. The developers kicked off August with an official trailer for the mode, outlining a list of new features in a pitch notes blog post on their website. Focusing on transfers, managers have an in-game analyst at their disposal. Just like a transfer committee in real football, the analyst will give you insight into the financial and squad impact of your business in the window. With a new menu screen, more contextual information around squad depth, the status of deals for incoming and outgoing players, as well as promising players rising through the academy will appear. Yet, there is nothing to solve a really frustrating issue for managers looking to make big moves halfway through the season. Simple change would help managers in FIFA 23 Career Mode The transfer element of the FIFA series has undoubtedly become more immersive over the years. Cutscenes with agents, transfer requests, player swaps, scouting networks, and now the analyst bring the experience closer to Football Manager. Not as detailed, although nobody is complaining about similar tools being added to our arsenal. What FIFA 23 was absolutely crying out for, though, was a simple menu option to spot opportunities that are not yet on the market. By that, I mean contract expiry players. Getting players tied down to pre-contract agreements is always a good way to flesh out the squad with high-rated stars without a transfer fee, but even years after adding the ability to exploit the Bosman rule, there is no database to improve the discoverability of those you could sign. For those who don’t know the Bosman rule, it was created in 1995 and allows players who have run down their contracts to leave for no transfer fee to another club. Right now, you either need to scroll players on-by-one, or wait until the end of their contract and they become free agents. Often, this only happens to really old footballers in-game. The solution could be a simple list – almost like the Free Agents filter – or it could be more integrated into the global scouting network. Having a scout keep tabs on contracts expiring for top stars across a specific country or region would seriously improve your chances of finding coups before the window slams shut. This would give you a chance to sign the next Georginio Wijnaldum, Sergio Aguero, Antonio Rudiger, or Robert Lewandowski – all of which used the Bosman rule to leave a club in recent years to secure a big move. However, without any mention of the tool being added to the game in the pitch notes, it appears as if – for yet another year – Career Mode regulars looking for contract expiry players will have to search endlessly, club by club, player by player, on the off chance that they find one. The amount of time you spend doing this really depends on what you’re looking for, but it is wasted hours that could go into progressing your season. Getting a few pre-contracts sorted in an easier way would help pre-season preparations and allow managers to build better teams faster. Instead, managers are in a completely avoidable situation. Given the popularity of pre-contracts in the FIFA series, it would make for a simple yet highly effective change.

  • FIFA 23 Career Mode lets you play as real managers like Klopp & Guardiola – Dexerto

    FIFA 23 Career Mode lets you play as real managers like Klopp & Guardiola EA SPORTSThe days of Mr Manager or using your own name in FIFA Career Mode may soon be numbered as FIFA 23 will, finally, allow you to play as some of the world’s best tacticians. With FIFA 23 being the end of the current FIFA franchise as we know – EA will be ditching the FIFA branding for their 2024 game, and using EA SPORTS FC instead – the game developers are making some big changes to go out with a bang. The HyperMotion technology that was introduced in FIFA 22 will be upgraded through HyperMotion2, with tonnes of new animations for everything from passing, shooting, set-pieces, and even goalkeepers. Plus, there is a laundry list of changes being made to the way FIFA Ultimate Team works. Career Mode will, again, see some changes with the release of FIFA 23 – even if it’s not the major overhaul and redesign that some players have been begging for – and that even includes who you play as. FIFA 23 adding real managers for Career Mode For years, when you start up a Manager Mode save in FIFA and start designing your on-screen persona, you’re given the name Mr Manager. Of course, this can be changed to pretty much whatever you like – within reason, of course. While a lot of players stick with the pre-set name, the days of Mr Manager could be numbered, seeing as you’ll be able to play as an authentic manager in FIFA 23. That’s right, when you start up a save, you’ll be given the option to play as some of the world’s most-renowned tacticians, with their faces appearing in the news articles after transfers, sitting behind the desk in post-match press conferences, and everything in between. No more needing to make them as a custom manager. EA have stated the change has been a “long time coming,” and yes, you will be able to take your manager to other clubs. That means that you’ll be able to use Pepe Guardiola and make a triumphant return to Barcelona. There are also questions about how playing as an authentic manager will affect you’re in-game challenges with regards to winning trophies and keeping the board happy.

  • FIFA 23 care package trend takes over TikTok and fans love it – Dexerto

    FIFA 23 care package trend takes over TikTok and fans love it A new TikTok trend has taken over the platform, as creators prepared ‘care packages’ for their significant other ahead of FIFA 23’s release. After weeks of waiting, FIFA 23 finally arrived on September 30, bringing a range of exciting new features to the pitch. Before being renamed EA Sports FC next year, the developers have been hard at work to bring brand-new Hypermotion 2 technology, as well as a bunch of improvements to the game’s existing content — such as cross-platform play. However, it’s fair to say that FIFA 23’s launch has been far from smooth, as many were left frustrated with server issues and stability problems during its pre-release. Nonetheless, a new trend has emerged from FIFA’s launch, as TikTokers prepared “care packages” for their significant others to be able to play the new game without interruption. FIFA 23 TikTok care package trend On September 29, just a day before FIFA’s official release, TikTok creator @ameliawilsonn_ recorded herself preparing a care package for her boyfriend — which caught the attention of millions. In the short video, the creator filled a box full of snacks and beverages to the brim for her significant other, including Doritos, chocolate, alcohol, and strangely even a tin of custard. The TikToker also designed and printed a ‘FIFA 23 care package’ label to put on the front of the box. (Click here if TikTok doesn’t load) Other creators followed, similarly making their own care package box for the new FIFA release, also consisting of drinks and snacks to keep them going throughout the weekend. (Click here if TikTok doesn’t load) Some poked fun at the weird selection of snacks, while others showed appreciation for the TikTok creators. “Gorgeous gesture, very well deserved too! Keep doing you,” one user wrote. “Absolutely love this, such a thoughtful idea,” another added.

  • FIFA 23 Bundesliga rating predictions: Top 10 players ranked – Dexerto

    FIFA 23 Bundesliga rating predictions: Top 10 players ranked EA SPORTSEA SPORTS is expected to hand out a number of OVR upgrades across the Bundesliga in the next game. Here are our predictions for the best FIFA 23 Bundesliga ratings list, ranking the best 10 players in the German top flight. The German Bundesliga is one of the biggest leagues in world football, so it’s no surprise that it’s always one of the most popular leagues in FIFA year after year. Players often use the Bundesliga as the base of their Ultimate Team, and with stars from Bayern Munich, Borussia Dortmund, and RB Leipzig set to be some of the best cards in the game, FIFA 23 will be no exception. But who will be the best players from the German league? We’ve put together our predictions for the top 10 best Bundesliga players in FIFA 23. Note: It’s worth noting that some of the players on this list are subject to transfer rumors, so it could easily change as more deals go through. It can be hard to anticipate exactly how much players’ stats will change year upon year, so we’ll be sure to update this page as soon the official ratings are revealed. FIFA 23 Bundesliga ratings: Top 10 player predictions 10. Marco Reus: 85 -> 85 Although Marco Reus isn’t the hot property he once was, the 33-year-old remains a crucial player for Borussia Dortmund and is still one of the Bundesliga’s best on his day. Injuries may have ravaged his career, but his creativity at the top of the pitch is still a joy to watch. The 2021/22 season was hardly his best in a yellow shirt, but he still registered nine goals in 29 Bundesliga games. We don’t think an upgrade is on the cards, but sticking at 85-rated feels fair after a solid campaign. 9. Filip Kostic: 84 -> 85 Away from the superstars of Bayern and Dortmund, Filip Kostic has quietly been establishing himself as a quality winger in the last few years. Nowhere was that more evident than last season, where the Serbian helped Eintracht Frankfurt win the Europa League, the club’s first major European trophy. Kostic finished up with the most assists in the Europa League and was named the best player of the tournament by UEFA. It’s hard to see his performances going unrewarded, so our money is on a +1 upgrade and a spot in the top 10. 8. Serge Gnabry: 85 -> 86 After harsh injuries and even harsher criticism from Tony Pulis ruined his time in England, Serge Gnabry has had a meteoric rise to become one of the best players in the Bundesliga. His blistering pace and keen eye for goal have made him one of the first names on the teamsheet for Bayern, keeping some big names out of the side. 2021/22 was arguably his best season to date, notching a career-best 14 goals as his team secured another Bundesliga title. He’s spent years in the ‘underrated’ category, but a nice upgrade to 86 in FIFA 23 should be enough to give him the recognition he deserves. 7. Leon Goretzka: 87 -> 86 There’s no doubt that Leon Goretzka will be among the top of FIFA 23’s Bundesliga ratings list. The German is one of those rare talents who is effective in all areas of the pitch, whether it’s popping up with a goal or putting in a crucial last-ditch tackle. Sadly, Goretzka managed less than 20 appearances league appearances in a forgettable season. While it’s no slight on his ability, EA will likely drop his rating slightly in FIFA 23. 6. Christopher Nkunku: 81 -> 86 This time last year, Christopher Nkunku was a relatively promising young midfielder who felt like he had more to give. Fast forward 12 months and, after a simply incredible breakout season, he’s been named the best player in the Bundesliga, and every heavyweight club in Europe is after his signature. 33 goal involvements in 34 matches meant he didn’t go noticed in FIFA 22 either, as he was awarded a ridiculous 11 different special cards. His lowly 81 rating feels laughable after the season he’s had, so we expect a massive boost up to 86, making him the biggest climber on this list. 5. Thomas Muller: 87 -> 87 After 14 years with the Bayern first team, it’s hard to put into words just how important Thomas Muller is to his club. He’s become the most decorated German player in the history of the game and done so with just one team. In many ways, he often slips under the radar but last season was another great showing from the charismatic midfielder, earning him a spot in the Bundesliga TOTS. While his age of 32 probably prevents him from moving up, it would be criminal for EA to drop Muller’s rating in FIFA 23, so picture him staying as an 87. 4. Joshua Kimmich: 89 -> 90 It may seem odd to call an 89-rated midfielder underrated, but that’s exactly what Joshua Kimmich has been in recent years. His extraordinary range of passing and vision make him one of the best playmakers in the world, but he is often overshadowed by the likes of Kevin De Bruyne. FIFA 22 awarded him a reasonable rating, but Kimmich undermined it by earning a boatload of special cards, including a Headliners and TOTS item. FIFA 23 should be the year that Kimmich joins the coveted 90-rated club, and we think EA will see it the same way. 3. Manuel Neuer: 90 -> 90 Even at 36 years of age, Bayern Munich’s long-serving stopper is still producing stunning performances week after week. The likes of Alisson and Donnarumma have emerged as top goalkeepers in recent years, but Neuer has proved that he can still mix it with the best. His most recent campaign wasn’t his most noticeable, but the legendary keeper remained a reliable figure in Bayern’s title defense. For this reason, his 90 rating from FIFA 23 will likely carry over into FIFA 23. 2. Sadio Mane: 89 -> 90 Sadio Mane’s move from Liverpool to Bayern Munich is one of the biggest transfers of the summer, and it’s easy to see why. The Senegalese winger leaves Merseyside as an Anfield legend and as one of the world’s best attackers, thanks to his clinical finishing and superb work rate. His teammate, Mohammed Salah, stole most of the plaudits last season, but Mane was on top form as he bagged 16 league goals. Ahead of his new chapter in Germany, a +1 bump feels almost inevitable. 1. Robert Lewandowski: 92 -> 92 Simply put, Robert Lewandowski is one of the best strikers the Bundesliga has ever seen. The Prolific Pole has 312 goals in the German league, second to only Gerd Muller in the all-time rankings. At 33 years old, he’s still doing the business after netting 35 times in 34 games over the course of the last campaign, maintaining his reputation as one of the best goalscorers in Europe. A move to Barcelona has been heavily rumored, but, if he stays in Munich, there’s doubt that Lewandowski will be the best-rated Bundesliga player in FIFA 23. Those were our predictions for the best Bundesliga players in FIFA 23!

  • FIFA 23 beta gameplay leak goes viral with insane Messi tackle – Dexerto

    FIFA 23 beta gameplay leak goes viral with insane Messi tackle EALionel Messi in FIFA 23 would be more commonly associated with a delicious finesse goal or dribble past 4 players, but a viral clip has shown him committing one of the game’s crazy new tackles. There have been quite a few changes in FIFA 23 as EA Sports prepares to shut up shop on their time with the official FIFA license and transition to the next era of football simulation games. In FIFA 23, the game’s Ultimate Team game mode has seen significant changes made to its Chemistry mechanic and even introduced brand new ‘Moments’ to take advantage of. As well as the meaty content, the gameplay has been refined with tons of new animations and nuances, in particular, the game’s tackling. A new physical animation has gone viral after Messi was seen carrying it out, attempting to, seemingly, end Liverpool midfielder Fabinho’s day. FIFA 23 beta tackle goes viral If someone told you that Messi and Fabinho came together and one of them attempted to absolutely crunch the other one, you wouldn’t even think twice about who the investigator was. However, a viral clip has subverted our expectations and shown that not only can the little magician get stuck in, but FIFA 23 might have even more interesting animations than we originally first thought. A short clip on Twitter from @WorldofJCC showed Fabinho running with the ball with Messi quickly closing the ground on him. In an attempt to win the ball (we think?) Messi leaped into the air and proceeded to unleash a high-intensity kung-fu tackle that absolutely annihilated the Brazilian beast. Call us crazy, but we’re pretty sure we’ve never seen this tackle animation in the game before, and as the poster of the video alluded to, you have to wonder how many people are going to be trying to do this online. Obviously, it’s unclear what you need to do to execute this over-the-top tackle, but one thing’s for sure, you can expect to see a lot of them, especially as people get frustrated in online matches.

  • FIFA 23 beta plagued with game-breaking bugs – Dexerto

    FIFA 23 beta plagued with game-breaking bugs EA SPORTSThe FIFA 23 closed beta is now live, giving players their first taste of the new game. However, many are reporting crashes and bugs that are preventing them from enjoying the trial. FIFA 23 is set to release in September and, as is tradition, EA have sent out closed beta codes to a select number of fans to let them try out the game ahead of time. This is most players’ first opportunity to hop into the final game in the series as we know it, and get to grips with the new Ultimate Team, Career Mode, and gameplay changes. Unfortunately, after the turnstiles opened on August 11, FIFA 23 beta users have been reporting a host of game-breaking issues. Disgruntled players took to Twitter to share the issues they were running into. One of the most common was affecting PlayStation 5 players, who were met with an error message whenever they tried to load into the beta. Once the application was opened, PS5 owners would see their game crash before the message “something went wrong with this game or app” appeared on-screen. The error didn’t give any clues as to what was causing the problem, leaving players wondering how to solve it. Others seemingly had no trouble loading the FIFA 23 beta, but were unable to play any of the main game modes once they were in. Options on the main menu, even the standard Kick-Off mode, were greyed out and unplayable. Not all players are supposed to have access to the same modes, as some beta codes open up Career Mode, while others only include FUT or Pro Clubs. However, Kick-Off, where one-off matches are played, is supposed to be universal with every code. Instead, those encountering this issue could only use the Trainer, designed to teach those new to FIFA the fundamentals of the game. On this latter problem, it’s worth noting that some players have reported that completing a number of the training matches does eventually unlock the rest of the proper game modes. But this doesn’t appear to be the case for everyone, as some have claimed to be stuck on the Trainer for now. EA themselves are yet to address the issue, so we’ll have to wait and see if this is a deliberate decision to direct players towards the tutorial mode or an accidental glitch. With only a few weeks until the FIFA 23 beta closes for good ahead of early access going live, fans will be hoping that this, as well as the crashing, will be resolved soon.

  • FIFA 23 ban wave locks traders out of Ultimate Team market – Dexerto

    FIFA 23 ban wave locks traders out of Ultimate Team market EA SPORTSMany FIFA 23 Ultimate Team players have been left baffled after a ban wave locked them out of the Web App and Companion App FUT markets. Trading cards in the popular online mode is one of the best, and fastest, ways to make coins. However, with stricter anti-cheat rules enforced in FIFA 23, it appears that EA is taking more precautions than the average player might have expected. A user who was targeted by online hackers in FIFA 22, FUT Donkey, has been locked out of the game’s market on both Web App and Companion App. It turns out, many more traders have been sent similar warnings as well. FIFA 23 hits traders with partial FUT market ban The message on-screen attributes a failed captcha as the cause of rules being broken. It says: “Your account has been blocked from using the Transfer Market on the Web and Companion Apps due to breaking our rules.” Donkey said: “Thanks EA SPORTS FIFA. I never failed a captcha, didn’t use any sort of bot/extension etc. Last year, I had to deal with the hacking, now this. Can’t have a normal year of FIFA trading I guess.” Other FIFA 23 players affected They also state no email was sent to their account, regarding the captcha security measure. In the comments, a number of other traders claim they have also been affected by the FUT market ban wave. Another trader, Jake_FutTrading, suggested a reason as to why these bans may be occurring, too: “They are banning scripts and high search functions this year it seems Obviously not saying you did it but likely from spam searching if you tried snipes.” They are banning scripts and high search functions this year it seems — Jake (@Jake_FutTrading) October 3, 2022 Obviously not saying you did it but likely from spam searching if you tried snipes. Sniping, for those who are not aware, is the act of searching continually and rapidly for players at a certain price point (usually lower market values) to find cards for a cheaper price and high resale value. Another said: “They just sent a massive wave out for this.” One user, called ArchieFUTTrader, responded: “Welcome to the club mate, please take a seat.” They also say an email was not sent out, making the ban allegedly unavoidable. While those affected by the ban wave will no longer be able to trade cards on the Web App or Companion App, they are not totally locked out of Ultimate Team trading. Their in-game economies will be open as normal.

  • FIFA 23 anti-cheat flamed as exploit lets some players kick opponent from games – Dexerto

    FIFA 23 anti-cheat flamed as exploit lets some players kick opponent from games EA SportsEA introduced an anti-cheat for FIFA 23 on PC but cheaters have already found a workaround, with a devastating exploit allowing players to be kicked from games. Crashing, missing features, and cheaters made FIFA on PC a frustrating experience for years. EA attempted to even the playing field by introducing an anti-cheat on PC for FIFA 23. The EA AntiCheat (EAAC) prevents files and software from being injected into the game. FIFA 23’s launch on PC, unfortunately, didn’t go as planned. An ‘unrecoverable error‘ message prevented players from logging into the game, and players blasted the game’s poorly implemented FUT cross-platform transfer market. Just under a week into the game’s lifespan, cheaters discovered a way to use exploits on PC; earning free wins, kicking opponents, and boosting stats. FIFA 23 players expose PC cheating tool Twitter user AsarJR claimed to sneak into a Discord server selling cheat tools and shared video evidence of them giving players free wins. The FIFA player said, “So FIFA 23 hasn’t completed one week since the release, and there are already many Cheat tools made. However, EA released an Anti-Cheat, which is supposed to be the strongest Anti-cheat on the earth.” In the video above, the accused cheater won a FUT Draft Match with a simple click after the kick-off. It is not confirmed whether the tool works for other game modes, but the Twitter user shared the cheater’s Discord channel. In the channel description, Cheat Army offers several different exploits, such as free wins after kick-off, kicking opponents, freezing games, and boosting player stats. EA has not responded to the allegations, but we will provide an update if the developers issue a statement. If Console players are worried about running into cheaters, there is an option to turn cross-play off to avoid playing against PC players.

  • FIFA 22’s worst ratings: 10 players who need an upgrade already – Dexerto

    FIFA 22’s worst ratings: 10 players who need an upgrade already EA SportsFIFA ratings are always a hot topic of discussion and, with FIFA 22 now available to all fans to play, we’re running through 10 players who have every right to feel short-changed by the ratings EA has given them. EA’s player ratings never cease to provoke discussion and FIFA 22 is no different. While the developers claim to use complicated data analysis and algorithms to determine players’ stats, there’s always a few player ratings that leave fans baffled. FIFA 22 is no different. Here, we’re running through 10 player ratings that just don’t seem to add up. It’s fair to say these players make some early candidates for January upgrade cards – often proof that EA’s original rating was way off. 1. Mo Salah – 89 It’s very rare that an 89 rated player has been hard done by but, in the case of Liverpool’s Mo Salah, he most certainly has been. A 90 OVR in FIFA 21, the Egyptian winger has been handed a downgrade of one. He’s maybe a victim of Liverpool’s poor Premier League title defence, but he still managed to notch up 22 league goals and 5 assists last campaign. His early season form in 21/22 is arguably his best ever, and is genuinely making him a Ballon D’or contender. 89 is harsh. 2. Allan Saint-Maximin – 79 Another Premier League winger, Newcastle’s Allan Saint-Maximin takes the second spot on our list. At 79, the super-silky Frenchman received a downgrade of one on his 80 overall from last year’s title. This seems just plain wrong from EA, with the pacy trickster regularly putting Newcastle on his back and carrying Bruce’s men over the line to safety. A downgrade of any kind seems unfair given the skill he continues to show against all oppositions. 3. Aaron Ramsdale – 74 That’s right, Aaron Ramsdale is a silver in FIFA 22. While only a 75 OVR last season, Ramsdale enjoyed a decent season – even if his Sheffield United side were one of the worst Premier League outfits in a long time. He’s received a downgrade, however, becoming a silver in this year’s title. We’ll take this opportunity to remind you that he’s already ousted Bernd Leno as Arsenal’s number 1; the same Leno rated 83 by EA. This is one of the worst ratings we’ve seen in years. 4. Connor Gallagher – 74 Another PL player who is inexplicably silver is Connor Gallagher, the Crystal Palace midfielder who has been at the heart of Patrick Vieira’s ongoing revolution at Selhurst Park. He had a solid season last year at West Brom, even if they too got relegated. The fact he’s a silver and rated worse than teammates James McArthur and Will Hughes has us scratching our heads. 5. Joakim Maehle – 77 Our first pick from out of the PL is Atalanta (on FIFA 22 as Bergamo Calcio) right-wing-back Joakim Maehle. The Danish speedster put in an awesome 20/21 campaign for Genk and then Atalanta, before capping it all off with a run to the Euros semi-finals with Denmark. Rather bizarrely though, he’s only been afforded an upgrade of one on last year’s 76. This seems even harsher when we consider how well he’s taken to the Serie A. We’d expect a generous rating increase in any Winter Upgrades that EA has prepared. 6. Florian Wirtz – 78 Bayer Leverkusen’s attacking midfielder Florian Wirtz has been identified as the next Kai Havertz, expected to move to a European giant in the coming year. You wouldn’t know it by looking at his FIFA rating though, with the young German sitting at a very modest 78. If he doesn’t get a January upgrade, we expect a much-improved card in next year’s title. 7. Bremer – 76 Torino and Brazil center-back Bremer has proven himself one of Serie A’s most consistent defenders, keeping the Turin side’s backline incredibly tight. He is only a 76 overall though, despite regularly coming up against some of the world’s best attackers and holding his own. He was a 71 in last year’s game but, even factoring in the generous upgrade, he should still be better than scraping a gold card. 8. Luis Sinisterra – 75 Our first Eredivisie entry is Feyenoord winger Luis Sinisterra. The Colombian starlet has been in scintillating form for the Rotterdam outfit, racking up 3 goals and 6 assists in just 20 league appearances last season. This season so far he’s been even better, racking up 8 goals and 6 assists in all competitions – and it’s still October. A 75 overall is far too low for someone who is not far off one of the best wingers in the Dutch top flight. 9. Illan Meslier – 77 We’re returning to England for Illan Meslier – the French shot-stopper who has made a name for himself as Leeds’ number 1, despite being just 21 years old. Any keeper in Marcelo Bielsa’s side would be expected to make plenty of saves, and Meslier does it week in week out for the Yorkshire side. In fact, he averages the highest number of saves in the Premier League. Not only does it say something about the way Leeds play, but it also says something about how inadequate a 77 OVR is. He’s bizarrely lower than Ben Foster and Dean Henderson, for example. 10. Ben Brereton Diaz – 71 We’re staying in England but dropping down to the Championship for our last pick – Blackburn’s Ben Brereton Diaz. The Chilean international has started the season in scintillating fashion, following on from a Copa America run to the quarter-finals with Chile. At 71 OVR, he’s lower than plenty of Championship wingers. However, he’s already been given a 78 OVR in-form by EA, going some way to show how unfair the 71 base rating is. That rounds off our list. Let us know who you think is awfully rated on FIFA 22 by tweeting us @DexertoFC!

  • FIFA 23 AcceleRATE has made players faster than ever in Ultimate Team – Dexerto

    FIFA 23 AcceleRATE has made players faster than ever in Ultimate Team EA SPORTSFIFA 23 fans have been left slightly baffled by the new AcceleRATE feature that is making some players move faster than ever, especially when equipped with the Architect chemistry style. With the release of FIFA 23, EA SPORTS have added a whole bunch of new features to what will be the final game before things transition over to the EA SPORTS Football Club series. One of the biggest features that has been added is the expansion to the Hypermotion Technology that was added in FIFA 22. In FIFA 23, there are a whole load of new animations for everything from passing to shooting and even being able to control the ball with a player’s back. However, this has also caused a few headaches, especially on next-gen consoles. Why, you may ask? Well, it’s all to do with FIFA’s new AcceleRATE system, which allows certain body archetypes to move and run in different ways than before. How to make players faster in FIFA 23 Ultimate Team The one that has raised the most eyebrows is that of the ‘Lengthy’ players. Players that fall under this category are tall and strong, difficult to dispossess and tackle. The likes of Erling Haaland and Virgil Van Dijk, if you will. Now, what caused the issue is that, when you’re in FUT, if you equip these ‘Lengthy’ archetypes with the Architect chemistry, they’ll become even more agile than they’re supposed to be. According to some players, equipping the chem style to these players will boost their agility by +15, making them run faster and being even more awkward to take on in a one-on-one duel. Get your hands on an Architect chem style either using the transfer market or a pack – Go to your Squad tab in the FUT menus – Click on Squad so you can edit your type – Find the Lengthy player you want to give the Architect chem style to – Apply the chem style using the ‘Apply Consumable’ button – How to find Lengthy players with FIFA 23 AcceleRATE feature As noted, players that fall under the ‘Lengthy’ category for the acceleRATE archetypes are big in stature and shouldn’t really be as fast as they are. According to EA SPORTS’ blog post on the feature, these Lengthy players have to meet the following requirements to receive the designation: Strength >= 65 – (Strength – Agility) >= 14 – Acceleration >= 55 – Height >= 174 cm (~ 5’9”) – EA SPORTS have stated that the numbers have been changed since the release of the game, but players are still able to exploit it, it seems. We’ll just have to wait and see if they roll out a bigger patch for things, but it remains to be seen if they’ll do so.

  • FIFA 22’s “BS” stadiums are ruining games and fans are furious – Dexerto

    FIFA 22’s “BS” stadiums are ruining games and fans are furious EA SPORTSFIFA 22 has enjoyed a pretty strong start to its cycle, however, there are a few issues with stadiums that some players just can’t get over and want EA to address ASAP. For years, one of the simplest requests that FIFA fans had for EA SPORTS was more customization when it comes to modes like Ultimate Team, Career Mode, and Pro Clubs. In FIFA 21, EA answered those calls with customizable FUT Stadiums, allowing players to change the size and overall look of their home ground – and they’ve only added to it in FIFA 22. However, there are plenty of “toxic” set-ups that players just can’t abide by. Some players use outrageous color schemes in a bid to bamboozle their opponents and force them to quit, and players have had enough. One of the most popular ways to annoy fellow FUT players is by having green-colored goals and touchlines. The touchlines are especially frustrating because you can, quite easily, just run out of play without noticing or not see where the opposition’s box is. Players have called these tactics “BS” and suggested that EA needs to get a grip on them before FUT games become unplayable later down the line. “Why on earth did EA think it was smart to put green lines in the game?” asked one confused fan. “It really sucks too when the opponent chooses a ball that you can’t even see on the pitch,” added another. The problems aren’t just limited to Ultimate Team, either. Drop into a game of Clubs with the Brentford Community Stadium and you might be in for a shock. Some players have been unable to see because of the bright sun issue that appears from time to time, and there’s also a possibility for extreme snow too that completely whites out the ground. Difficult to play in those conditions ☃️#FIFA22 pic.twitter.com/8mm1OntWjO — Dexerto Sports (@DexertoFC) September 30, 2021 Ultimately, only EA SPORTS can address these issues and they may have to do so before long. They could take out the bizarre colors altogether, brighten them up so it’s easy to tell the difference between the touchline and the pitch, or just give players the option to use their own stadiums.

  • FIFA 22’s Career Mode is finally what fans have been waiting for – Dexerto

    FIFA 22’s Career Mode is finally what fans have been waiting for EA SPORTSFIFA 22 is a strong entry in the franchise, but its Career Mode might just be its best feature after years out in the cold. It’d be fair to say that developers of sports games have a tough time of things. It’s one thing to develop and ship a game, but when your timeline is less than 12 months, certain features are bound to get more polish and attention than others. For FIFA, that’s traditionally left Career Mode relegated to the back burner in favor of (amongst other things) Ultimate Team. Thoughts on EA’s approach to “surprise mechanics” aside, Ultimate Team has grown to offer more rewards to players that don’t want to spend cash and now offers plenty of modes. But for those looking to reimagine our lives as a 31-year-old video game journalist into one where we’re plucked from obscurity and able to play in the Premier League, pickings have been slim. FIFA 22 Career Mode is the best in the franchise We’ve had false dawns before, of course. The Journey offered a trilogy of single-player stories that felt too contrived and lacked customization, but it showed EA SPORTS was interested in serving something up that wasn’t quite the menu-based, season to season slog of the standard career mode. Unfortunately, though, that big change never came. While NBA 2K started to blaze a trail with its MyCareer, FIFA fell further and further behind – until this year. If you’re a fan of creating a new character and starting out as a rookie, then FIFA 22 might be the most essential entry in the franchise yet. In prior years, fans could create a player, pick a club, and find themselves essentially just slogging through from match to match. Score a few goals? Here’s a finishing buff. Took a throw-in? Oh, OK, you can throw a little further now. Player development was almost entirely passive, something thankfully fixed in FIFA 22’s Career Mode. Players earn skill points by leveling up, making FIFA 22 my new favorite RPG. Rather than assigning attacks or abilities, though, I’m buffing my player’s stamina by tangible amounts, and customizing my play style. If I want to create a distance shooter to rival Steven Gerrard, I can put my skill points into shot power, or I can create a natural finisher a la Thierry Henry by spending points on attacking positioning and finishing. Perhaps most infamously, though, FIFA wouldn’t let created players come off of the bench. Scored 10* goals in five games? Doesn’t matter, the game could arbitrarily decide to put another player in your place and you couldn’t even join the match later. For anyone looking to live out the super-sub fantasy, it was heartbreaking. Read more: FIFA 22 review – In FIFA 22, though, that all changes. While you aren’t guaranteed a starting slot, strong training performances and making the most of your minutes will see players graduating from squad player to the bench, and then to the first team. Some wonky player objectives aside, it’s a great way to feel like you’re making progress. AI managers are a little smarter, too. In my save as a CAM playing for Lille, the manager deployed me on the left to accommodate Renato Sanches, before swapping me into the central role after the Portuguese midfielder was subbed off. Gone are the days where managers will pick players in entirely obscure positions, it seems. Speaking of managers, manager mode is much the same – but that’s not necessarily a bad thing. On PS5 and Xbox Series S/X we’re at the point where we can drop into any point during a match now, and short of some bizarre transfer negotiations and values, the whole thing feels right where it needs to be. For now, though, it’s finally time to give Career Mode a try. After years on the sidelines, it’s finally match-fit, and I can’t stop playing.

  • FIFA 22’s broken Long Finesse Shots finally nerfed in first live balance update – Dexerto

    FIFA 22’s broken Long Finesse Shots finally nerfed in first live balance update EA SPORTSFIFA 22’s overpowered Long Finesse Shots have finally been nerfed in the game’s first live balancing update of the year and its safe to say that fans are pretty pleased with the change. Each FIFA released in the last decade has had some overpowered way to score goals. Some were all about near post shots, others had issues with crosses and headers, while others had problems with finesse shots. In FIFA 22, it’s finesse shots that rule the roost again. Though, it hasn’t been like FIFA 12 where finesse shots anywhere around or inside the box would find their way into the back of the net. Instead, it’s the long-range efforts that have been an issue. Players have repeatedly voiced their anger with the “overpowered” and “broken” finesse being spammed in FUT Champs games, and now EA SPORTS have finally moved to address the issue. FIFA 22 update for finesse shots In their first live balancing update of the FIFA 22 calendar, the developers have “slightly reduced the accuracy” of finesse shots taken near the penalty area and further beyond. The change has been made to affect shots that are taken between “49.95 feet/15.22 meters and 149.85 feet/45.67 meters from the goal line,” with everything else being unaffected. To break it down further, this means shots that are just a few yards outside of the ‘D’ at the top of the 18-yard box will no longer feel like they’re arrowed towards goal, and those beyond that shouldn’t leave you speechless as your goalkeeper flaps at the ball. Players have quickly praised the change, too, calling the gameplay “fire” as a result, though others have urged caution. “Welcome to the 10 men in the box meta,” one said, noting teams might go more defensive as a result. With this being a live change, you won’t have to update your game with a new downloadable update. It’ll just be applied when you next log in to play FIFA Ultimate Team.

  • Will FIFA 22 have a World Cup mode? Ultimate Team add-on rumors & more – Dexerto

    Will FIFA 22 have a World Cup mode? Ultimate Team add-on rumors & more Graphics: EA SPORTSWith more details starting to be revealed about FIFA 22, some fans are asking if it’ll have a World Cup mode. However, that’s unlikely to be the case. After a year’s delay, this summer has given football fans around the globe two top-notch tournaments in the form of the Euros and Copa America, and we’ve even still got the Olympics to come. In amongst the real-world action, we’ve also started to get some details about FIFA 22 – with EA SPORTS revealing their new Hypermotion technology, changes to Career Mode, and plenty more. The tournaments have got players wondering though, after FIFA 22 never had a Euros or Copa America add-on, will the World Cup get some love in the upcoming release? Will the World Cup be in FIFA 22 and Ultimate Team? Well, while EA SPORTS hasn’t said anything just yet, it’s probably unlikely that we’ll get any kind of World Cup mode in FIFA 22 purely because the tournament isn’t happening during the game’s lifecycle. Read More: All FIFA 22 FUT Hero cards in Ultimate Team – While World Cups are usually reserved for the summer, the 2022 World Cup is being played in Qatar between November and December – right after FIFA 23 should release. EA could, of course, drop some content in FIFA 22 ahead of the tournament, but with it happening around the launch of FIFA 23, why wouldn’t they just hang on? Players would have a new mode right away. Of course, there’s also the issue with rights. EA has not held the European Championship rights since the 2012 tournament, Konami have scooped them up for PES. Yet, they do hold the World Cup rights until December 2022. That means that we should see either an add-on for that year’s FIFA, or we might even have a separate release like we have for other tournaments in the past. If they choose to go the add-on route and give us extra content for the base game, we’ll likely see new cards in Ultimate Team, a full tournament mode, and potentially some other content. However, if anything changes between now and then, you’ll be able to find updates right here on Dexerto.

  • FIFA 22’s broken corner exploit is finally fixed and players are delighted – Dexerto

    FIFA 22’s broken corner exploit is finally fixed and players are delighted EA SportsFIFA 22 players can rejoice as the infamous broken corner glitch appears to be no more. The method that has resulted in hundreds and thousands of cheap goals has been fixed, and FIFA 22 Ultimate Team players are overjoyed. Each year, there is always something in the new release’s gameplay that can be manipulated, whether it’s a type of cross, a particular shooting angle, or something else. In FIFA 22, Ultimate Team players found out early on that if you played out a repeatable corner routine, your chances of scoring were extremely high. This tactic has been used at all levels across the game’s main online modes like Div Rivals and FUT Champions. However, some alterations to the gameplay mechanics and core functions have altered the A.I. These changes appear to have made the corner kick exploit impossible now. Corner glitch booted from FIFA 22’s pitch In FIFA 22’s Title Update #4, changes were made to the AI so that they could “mark opponents more efficiently during short corners”. Previously, limiting your options in the box, pulling the ball short, and whipping it into the far post would completely flummox the opposition AI, pretty much giving you a free header at goal. The new and improved AI seems to have made a difference with players praising the absence of the exploit. One post on the FIFA subreddit asked for feedback on the newest patch, and here is a selection of comments regarding the corner exploit being fixed: “Good was tired of the damn corner glitch” – “Love that corner glitch is patched” – “Corner glitch is also fixed which is cool” – “No ridiculous corner glitches which is the best thing” – With the corner kick meta now officially booted out of play, we wonder if another one will replace it? After all, the tweak to the AI can mean that another opportunity can arise and take its place. E.g free-kicks were considered quite difficult to score until an easy free-kick exploit was found that made scoring them more straightforward.

  • When is the FIFA 22 Web App coming out? FUT Companion App guide – Dexerto

    When is the FIFA 22 Web App coming out? FUT Companion App guide EA SPORTSAs EA SPORTS prepares for the release of FIFA 22 with Ultimate Team (FUT) in 2021, players will once again have a chance to build their FUT squad early with the FIFA 22 Web App and Companion App. Fans around the world, whether they’re playing on Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 4, PS5, or PC, will be able to dive into the game mode to build their team ahead of release. Then, they can take that into the EA Play early access trial, and get a feel for it before the game launches. If you’re looking to set up your Ultimate Team, formation, manager, or start trading before FIFA 22 releases, let’s run through everything you need to know about the FIFA 22 Web App and Companion App. FIFA 22 Web App release date The FIFA 22 Web App will be released on September 22, 2021. FIFA 22 itself is officially releasing on October 1, 2021, and just like FIFA 21, the Web App and the 10-hour trial will launch before that. If you’re looking to make the most out of the 10 hour early access period, consider checking out our dedicated guide which breaks down exactly what you need to do to get ahead of the competition. FIFA 22 Companion App release date The Companion App, for iOS and Android devices, will release on September 23, 2021. The majority of the features work the same as the Web App, but for handheld. The last day players can access the Companion App without logging into the game is October 17, 2021. Contents FIFA 22 Web App & Companion App Features Name your Ultimate Team Starting your Ultimate Team is always an exciting process, and part of that is choosing your own, unique name. You can do this on both of the applications. Select your FUT Stadium Picking your first stadium will be tricky, as you’ll likely be on a budget. However, rest assured you can do it all from the FIFA 22 Web App and Companion App. FIFA 22 daily rewards FIFA 22 will drop daily rewards into your account, which should boost your transfer budget. These can be received simply by logging in each day, and range from a small Gold pack to a few hundred coins. Can you open FIFA 22 packs on Web App & Companion App? Opening Ultimate Team packs is possible on both the FIFA 22 Web App and Companion App. You can purchase them with FIFA Points or Ultimate Team coins, though this may be restricted before the game launches – as normal. In that case, opening packs will only be an available feature in-game via EA Play early access. If you’re looking to be efficient during your 10 hour early access period, it’s key you open packs in Web & Companion App so you can save time and play more games ahead of launch. Build your Ultimate Team Building your Ultimate Team is the most important feature in the FIFA 22 Web App and Companion App, of course. Choosing which players will represent you in your first Online Friendly, Division Rivals, or Squad Battles match will play a huge role in how you start off. The better players you can buy early, the more a head start you will have when the game launches. SBC: Squad Building Challenges Squad Building Challenges are a great way of turning your Ultimate Team fodder into good cards, through pack rewards. Once these apps open up, head over to the SBC section and see what you can complete off the bat. Rewards FUT Champs, Division Rivals, FUT Draft & Squad Battles FIFA 22 players will be able to open their rewards for online tournaments in each of the Web App and Companion app, too. That means you can open your Division Rivals, FUT Champs Weekend League, FUT Draft or Squad Battles rewards packs on the go or from the comfort of your PC – rather than playing. FUT Trading Everybody claims to have the best Ultimate Team trading method, and you can carve out your own path using either of these applications. Simply log on, head over to the transfer market, and start bidding in card auctions to pick up assets pre-launch. You can also shortlist, send players to the trade pile, and quick sell cards. Before FIFA 22 releases: Web App & Companion App tips Starting your Ultimate Team on the Web App or Companion App will be a grind because you don’t have that balance the full game gives you of switching between purchases, sales, and playing. It’s just numbers and cards. However, we’ve got some handy tips to get you started. Don’t miss your free rewards: Free packs & Loan items One of the best things about it, as little as a perk it may be, but daily rewards for logging in are a must during this period before release. Collect those, build up your club value, and list any cards you may not want. Also, collect your free packs earned from last year and previous games to get you started – as well as a loan item. Best cards to invest in We would suggest investing in cheap high-rated cards during launch day for both applications, as this is a period where the market hasn’t fully formed. Here, you may be able to pick up a few 80-83 cards which will inevitably rise in value when players have the chance to complete SBCs and make coins. Complete SBCs There’s another tip – SBCs. If you can complete Squad Building Challenges on the FIFA 22 Web App or Companion App before launch, you should be able to get some decent rewards and better players to take into the main game. Web App trading tips With trading, you should look to invest in players from the big leagues (Premier League, Serie A, La Liga, Bundesliga, Ligue 1) as those will be available through auctions at a low rate. Don’t get impatient and start throwing money around on Buy It Now options either, because you’ll potentially lose hundreds on each card. The cheaper you can get these cards, the better. Then, list those Gold cards you may have purchased for 350-400 coins for around the 600 mark. It’s almost doubling your money and with so many players looking to build the foundation of a Premier League or Bundesliga team, you will be surprised to see how many impatient players you can benefit from. So, that’s about that – invest wisely, complete SBCs if possible, keep coming back for your dailies, and build a good team before FIFA 22 releases. Good luck!

  • FIFA 22 Update 2 patch notes: AI block nerfs, new Career Mode scenes, gameplay fixes – Dexerto

    FIFA 22 Update 2 patch notes: AI block nerfs, new Career Mode scenes, gameplay fixes EA SportsEA SPORTS has released a new FIFA 22 patch on all consoles and Origin’s PC version — Update #2 — that fixes some of the game’s worst bugs. Here’s the full list of changes. Title Update #2 was announced on October 19 and went live in FIFA 22 on PC shortly after. Now it’s going live on PlayStation, Xbox, and Nintendo Switch too, bringing a laundry list of tweaks and fixes to FUT, Career Mode, and general gameplay to the console versions of the 2021 title. Some of the changes tuned the in-game AI a bit and fixed some of the more blatant bugs we’ve seen since launch. We’re also getting a bit more content in Career Mode, so let’s take a look at all there is. FIFA 22 AI nerfed & disappearing players glitch fixed The effectiveness of AI-controlled players blocking Lobbed Passes and crosses has been reduced. Devs said this was due to some FIFA 22 AI players being able to stretch too far to break them up. Second, AI-controlled teams will now be more likely to commit fouls during matches played on Semi-Pro and above. However, this doesn’t apply to matches played when Competitor Mode is on. The update also addressed some of the outrageous bugs we’ve been seeing since launch. Instances like the ball getting launched into space when two players make contact or referees calling a free-kick on a foul inside of the penalty box have been addressed. But the craziest glitch being fixed has to be the one that would literally have players disappear off the pitch during a game. It could even happen to your keeper, leaving your net completely open as you can see in the clip below. How is anything like this acceptable in a game that comes out using the same engine, with minor changes, every single year? I’d love if EA had some proper competition or took 2 years to build a game with some soul in it. Still on the fence whether I’ll buy it this year #Fifa22 pic.twitter.com/ihhJfudYzS— RonTheDon 🇮🇪 (@RonTheDon001) September 28, 2021 On top of that, there’s also been new cutscenes added in Career Mode for UEFA Europa League and UEFA Champions League draws.

  • FIFA 22 update 12 patch notes: Cross-play invite fix, FUT matchmaking bug – Dexerto

    FIFA 22 update 12 patch notes: Cross-play invite fix, FUT matchmaking bug EA SportsThe FIFA 22 update 12 patch notes are here as EA looks to address some of the more troubling bugs that have popped up in FUT matchmaking, as well as make amends to cross-play invites. As players look forward to future promos like the FIFA 22 Ultimate Team of the Season and the like, the developers over at EA are taking a stab at quelling some of the more prominent issues facing the games online modes. That’s largely what we see in the game’s 12th title update with the focus shifting to internal systems rather than making sweeping changes to gameplay or individual modes. FIFA Ultimate patch 12 fix EA have issued a fix for a bug that would cause players to wait for a Public Co-Op match, even though a game for them had already been found. This has been a problem for people looking to get into a quick game with a friend, and the devs hope this update will be enough to put the issue to bed. However, in order to fix it, EA has disabled voice communication in FUT. They did not say when the feature would be back in the game. FIFA 22 cross-play & block bugs FIFA 22 got a few bug fixes to social settings in the 12th title patch that rectifies interactions with blocked players. For example, there was a glitch that let players send game invites to people who blocked them if the cross-play invite was sent before getting blocked. It was a strange loophole, admittedly, but one that EA hopes to stop from happening again. The update should start hitting FIFA 22 players on PlayStation 4|5, Xbox Series S|X, and Stadia with little to no downtime on June 2. To get a full rundown of what’s coming, look down below for the complete FIFA 22 title 12 patch notes, courtesy of EA. FIFA 22 update 12 patch notes FIFA Ultimate Team Addressed the following issue: In some instances, players were still attempting to matchmake for Public Co-Op matches despite a match being found. * In order to address this issue, voice communication has been disabled in FUT. – General, Audio, and Visual Made the following change: Updated some kits and 2D portraits. – Addressed the following issues: [PS5, XSX|S, Stadia Only] A player could accept a Cross-play invitation from another blocked player if the invitation was sent before the block occurred. – [PS5, XSX|S, Stadia Only] Blocking a friend through the Online Friendlies UI required the block to be performed two times in order for the blocked friend to no longer be seen. – Thanks to those who’ve provided feedback. Throughout the course of the FIFA 22 season, we’ll provide you with more information and updates if and when they become available.

  • FIFA 22 Ultimate Team no loss glitch exposed in viral TikTok – Dexerto

    FIFA 22 Ultimate Team no loss glitch exposed in viral TikTok EA SPORTSOnce again, FIFA 22 players have found a way to cheat themselves out of losing in Ultimate Team, with a no loss glitch going viral on TikTok. No loss glitches are seemingly impossible to avoid for FIFA. Every year there’s a new method for players to find ways to avoid taking a loss, which is especially aggravating when it comes to FUT Champs and other competitive modes. Just a couple of weeks after FIFA 22 officially launched, players have already discovered the exploit to never take an official match loss again, much to the frustration of players that want to earn their FUT Champs wins and rewards legitimately. Thanks to this viral TikTok from apexskillz, though, it looks like many more players know how to abuse the exploit, and we could see it become far more common in FUT matches going forwards. In order to avoid having a notch added to his loss column, apexskillz simply opened the PlayStation menu and sat on it for around 30 seconds, waiting for the game to kick him out. Eventually it kicked him out of the match and, upon returning to the FIFA Ultimate Team menu, apexskillz still had the 3 matches remaining that he had before using the glitch. Obviously, we don’t condone using no loss glitches in FIFA, and some comments have even suggested that they were banned after doing it, though we can’t verify that for certainty. Whether EA fix the glitch remains to be seen, but they may have bigger issues on their plate as they seek out a brand new name for the franchise, following news that they’re exploring the idea of dropping the FIFA moniker.

  • Does FIFA 22 have crossplay? PS4, PS5, Xbox & PC – Dexerto

    Does FIFA 22 have crossplay? PS4, PS5, Xbox & PC EA SPORTSDespite FIFA 22 being the latest outing for the franchise and now starting to fully harness the power of the PS5 and Xbox Series X, does it finally bring with it crossplay to Ultimate Team and its other online modes? FIFA 22 is the first game in the series that is truly built around Sony and Microsoft’s newest hardware — the PS5 and Xbox Series X. FIFA 21 received a next-gen version soon after the game’s initial launch, but it wasn’t as fully realized as FIFA 22 is. But fans were disappointed to find out that EA SPORTS didn’t plan on including crossplay between consoles, let alone across different console generations in the previous title. It’s something they’d asked for time and time again. But what about this time around? Is EA’s FIFA 22 compatible with crossplay on all major formats now? Contents Does FIFA 22 have crossplay on the PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, or PC? – Crossplay for future FIFA titles – Does FIFA 22 have crossplay on the PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, or PC? At present, FIFA 22 does not have any form of crossplay, nor does it appear like EA have any intention of adding it to this year’s iteration sadly. The game’s major modes: Division Rivals and FUT Champions are contested between players on the same format, e.g PS5 vs PS5. Based on EA’s stance in previous years, fans were never getting their hopes up too much for FIFA 22. You’d have to think that since crossplay has been the norm in other games like Call of Duty for a while now, it seems like it should only be a matter of time before EA SPORTS introduces it to the FIFA series, let alone Madden NFL 22 and other sports titles. You won’t be able to play across console generations or cross-play in #FIFA21. However, you will be able to carry over your FUT progression from PS4 to PS5 and Xbox 1 to Xbox Series X. https://t.co/mUqU3zcAud — EA SPORTS FC Direct Communication (@EASFCDirect) August 10, 2020 Crossplay for future FIFA titles So, while it’s disappointing we still don’t have any idea whether FIFA 22 Ultimate Team and other online game modes will finally support crossplay, it seems that FIFA 23 will finally buck the trend and include crossplay. Major FIFA leakers have said that Crossplay is being tested in FIFA 22 already with the full intention of incorporating it into FIFA 23. Crossplay is picking up all the time, and other titles that EA are associated with, like Apex Legends, do feature crossplay. As we’ve said, crossplay is considered the norm now, and opening up the pool of FIFA players to a larger base would be good for the community. There’s no news yet on FIFA 23, but we imagine that if EA are going to add crossplay, it’ll be one of the first things they announce.

  • FIFA 22 Ultimate Team details revealed: Updated Team of the Week, Icons, more – Dexerto

    FIFA 22 Ultimate Team details revealed: Updated Team of the Week, Icons, more EA SPORTSMore details have emerged about FIFA 22’s various FUT programs and more. Here’s everything you need to know from this week’s Pitch Notes. Fans are all riled up for another year of FIFA and EA has now clued the world in on what to expect from the game. The focus was largely on Ultimate Team and the different projects and programs that they’ll be expanding on in this edition of the game mode. This includes updates to Team of the Week, Ones to Watch, and Icons programs. Let’s have a look at how things are changing and what’s staying the same. Featured Team of the Week In past editions of the game, Performance-Based Program cards were often a bit of a drag. While they were supposed to be improved versions of the players, they were still often outclassed by normal releases by the end of the season. EA is trying to rectify that by introducing an update to Team of the Week. This new system will see the addition of Featured Team of the Week, an even bigger boost to the cards that qualify for the honor. The hope is to better honor the connection between FIFA 22 and the special moments in Football that earn players a spot in these programs. Ones to Watch The Ones to Watch tag is all about players starting at a new club. Last year’s game featured twenty-two of these players, and this year six more are being added, for a total of 28 OTW players. These players will be eligible for a +1 In-Form boost if their club wins five of their next ten domestic league games starting on October 1. You can read more about Ones to Watch here FUT Heroes FUT Heroes are cards inspired by the biggest moments in football history. All nineteen cards will be available at launch, though more of them may arrive throughout the year as part of various campaigns. For a breakdown of all the announced Heroes, check out our list here. FUT Icons Icons will operate much the same as they did in FIFA 21. These cards bring legendary players out of retirement and put them back onto the pitch via FIFA Ultimate Team. While these cards are pretty rare, there are a few new players joining the fold this year – namely Cafu, Iker Casillas, and Robin van Persie. There will eventually be a fourth icon joining their ranks, but for now, it remains a mystery. These cards will have four total versions: Base, Mid, Prime, and Moments. Only Base and Mid editions will be available at launch, as the others will be rolled out throughout the year. EA Play Member Benefits For those who are subscribed to EA Play, you can expect to take home some extra Boosts in FUT, coins & Apparel in VOLTA, as well as a few Stadium customization Items throughout the season. If you’re interested in EA Play, you can learn more about it here. Web and Companion App FIFA 22 will feature a Mobile companion app accessible either in your browser or an iOS/Android device. This will allow you to set up your Ultimate Team and even start trading well before the game actually launches. This feature will launch on September 22, 2021, for Web and the following day for Mobile. That is all for this set of Pitch Notes. Most of the game’s biggest questions have now been answered, but we are still keeping our eyes open for that final ICON card. Regardless, there’s plenty to be excited about ahead of the game’s October 1 release date.

Again that’s just our prediction, so be sure to keep an eye out. Ultimate Scream FIFA 22 cards Until the event starts we don’t have any idea what exactly the Ultimate Scream cards will look like, but we do know they’ll have some kind of art appropriate for Halloween. Rulebreakers cards, on the other hand, will most likely feature the promo’s neon green and purple color scheme. We also don’t know which players exactly will be getting selected for this year’s promo, but we’ll update this piece as soon as the event goes live with that info, so be sure to check back. FIFA 22 Ultimate Scream SBCs & Objectives As with every other FUT promo, Ultimate Scream/Rulebreakers will have its own special Squad Building Challenges and Objectives to complete.

  • FIFA 22 trailer: First look at gameplay revealed – Dexerto

    FIFA 22 trailer: First look at gameplay revealed EA SPORTSThe release of FIFA 22 is fast approaching, with EA SPORTS finally dropping their trailer for the new game and teasing a few new details. Every year, FIFA fans across the globe reach that point in the calendar where the previous game takes less of their attention and they start looking forward to what’s coming next. Well, we’ve finally hit that point in FIFA 21, and EA are starting to drop details about FIFA 22. We know it’s got something interesting new features, mainly the mysterious Hypermotion technology. Before we start to do deep dives on Ultimate Team, Career Mode, VOLTA, and anything else that might be new, EA SPORTS have given us our first look at the game with a reveal trailer. FIFA 22 reveal trailer stream The first look at FIFA 22 – outside of the beta and grainy videos of alpha footage – dropped in the reveal trailer on July 11. Read More: FIFA 22 ICONs list & Hero cards leaked – Now, this isn’t the gameplay reveal that shows off all the new clever off-the-ball runs or defensive tackles, but rather showing the work that goes into making the game. As you’ll see below, it features stars like Kylian Mbappe, Trent Alexander-Arnold, and Heung-Min Son doing capture work for the game, and that then translating into gameplay. So, you can see some new shooting animations and stunning new graphics. What other details come with the FIFA 22 reveal trailer? Well, as we’ve already noted, EA are putting a focus on their new Hypermotion technology. Given that it’s going to be exclusive to Xbox Series X/S and PS5 consoles, it’ll likely be more to do with stunning new graphics instead of the long-awaited new game engine. EA have also teased a major overhaul to the Pro Player career mode, as well as bringing Create-A-Club to the Manager Mode, with a deep dive to come at a later stage. There’s also an update for Pro Clubs in the works, with a new player growth system being touted. Again, more details will come later.

FIFA 22 TOTY Warmup Series content & objectives As was to be expected, EA has introduced some new objective players for Ultimate Team fans to grind for.

    FIFA 22 TOTY revealed: Mbappe, Messi, Lewandowski, Kante EA SPORTSFIFA 22 Team of the Year (TOTY) is the biggest promo of the game’s life cycle so far, and after weeks of waiting, it’s finally here. Here’s everything you need to know about the big event. Contents TOTY revealed – When does TOTY voting end? – When is FIFA 22 TOTY coming out? – When do they go into packs? – All Team of the Year nominees – Team of the Year cards – TOTY SBCs & Objectives leaks – Reaction to TOTY announcement – FIFA 22 TOTY revealed After all the build-up, speculation, and leaks, the full FIFA 22 Team of the Year has been revealed. EA wasted no time in announcing the final squad, waiting just a couple of days after the voting concluded. Unsurprisingly, some of football’s biggest stars have been included in the squad. Bayern Munich striker Robert Lewandowski and Ballon d’Or winner Lionel Messi to name a couple. Without further ado, here’s the final XI for the FIFA 22 TOTY: Gianluigi Donnarumma (GK) – PSG – Joao Cancelo (DEF) – Manchester City – Marquinhos (DEF) – PSG – Ruben Dias (DEF) – Manchester City – Achraf Hakimi (DEF) – PSG – Kevin De Bruyne (MID) – Manchester City – Jorginho (MID) – Chelsea – N’Golo Kante (MID) – Chelsea – Lionel Messi (FWD) – PSG – Kylian Mbappe (FWD) – PSG – Robert Lewandowski (FWD) – Bayern Munich – When does FIFA 22 TOTY voting end? Team of the Year voting ends on January 18, 2022, at 7:59 AM GMT / 8:59 AM CET. To cast your vote, click here. When is FIFA 22 TOTY coming out? Now that the full team has been announced, the TOTY event will kick off on Friday, January 21, 2021. The long-awaited cards will hit packs at 6 PM GMT. When is TOTY in packs? FIFA 22 promo explained Team of the Year works a little differently from other promos in FIFA 22, as the cards included will stagger out into FUT packs, similar to how nominees were announced. This means that the FIFA 22 TOTY will be announced on that Friday – as expected – but players will be available in stages. For example, attackers may be released into packs first, then midfielders, etc. This is in contrast to Team of the Season, for example, where the entire XI will be revealed and put into packs on that very same day. The schedule for releases has not yet been confirmed. Once this has been done, we will update this article. FIFA 22 Team of the Year nominees Goalkeepers Defenders Midfielders Forwards FIFA 22 TOTY cards The design of the Team of the Year cards has been shown off in glimpses. Until now, we have had to settle for just nominee versions – which are standard (and very similar each year). For a flash at the complete version, though, check out the official EA SPORTS FIFA reveal for the promo. It can be seen with a gold border.

The week starting January 24 should include some SBC and Objectives content around TOTY. So far, there have been some strong leaks and unconfirmed reports of EA dropping some absolute fire SBCs around, and during, the promotion. One of the game’s most notorious leakers @FutSheriff has supposedly managed to uncover some SBCs that could potentially bankrupt players before we even get to TOTY! They have said they do not know the exact days they are coming, however, and it could be before TOTY, or during. 🚨SBC days are not confirmed. They can either come during TOTY warmup or during TOTY.So if you see for now that they are all before friday, its FAKE. At least for me. — Fut Sheriff (@FutSheriff) January 17, 2022 Here are the leaked SBCs according to FUTSheriff: Hero Player Pick – 11x 81+ Attackers – 11x 81+ Midfielders – 11x 81+ Defenders – 3x 85+ Attackers – 3x 85+ Midfielders – 3×85+ Defenders – The Hero Player Pick will be interesting with players scrambling to see if they can grab themself the ever-popular Ginola and Pele cards. Also, the packs centered around each position will be very tempting as players look to store them and increase their chances of securing a TOTY. Reaction to TOTY announcement When there are so many players to fill only 11 precious positions, there is always bound to be disagreements. Unsurprisingly, some of the FIFA 22 TOTY selections have become a bone of contention for the community with some selections raising eyebrows. One of the truly shocking omissions that has been echoed by players is Mohamed Salah. The Liverpool forward had a solid first half of the year in a struggling Liverpool team, and absolutely tore up England and Europe towards the end of 2021. 🏆 Football’s best, decided by you. This is your #TOTY. pic.twitter.com/eyK03VbFgh— EA SPORTS FC (@EASPORTSFC) January 20, 2022 Here’s a handful of comments and Tweets regarding this decision: “Salah robbed” – “Salah instead of Mbappe and Lewandowski 99” – “I’m so p*ssed that Salah isn’t in there” – “How’s there 5 PSG players and no Salah?” – The inclusion of so many PSG players has caused an uproar, especially given that PSG didn’t win either the Champions League or even their own domestic league. There’s also an argument that Kevin De Bruyne has been included based on past reputation. Truth be told, KDB has missed a lot of 2021 through injury and hasn’t been the star for Manchester City that he’s been in recent years. Users made their opinions clear on De Bruyne’s position in the team: “De Bruyne, lmfao” – “Man didn’t play for 9/12 months” – “Mans living off his reputation for the past 2-3 years?” – “Kevin De Bruyne should be nowhere near this team” – Once FIFA 22’s Team of the Year is live we’re sure everyone is going to be delighted if they manage to pack one of these incredibly rare and sought-after TOTY cards.

  • FIFA 22 TOTW squads: No TOTW 37 release explained – Dexerto

    FIFA 22 TOTW squads: No TOTW 37 release explained EA SPORTSEA SPORTS has revealed FIFA 22 Team of the Week 36 (TOTW 36) and here we have all the cards included, from Heung-Min Son to Angel Di Maria, Andrew Robertson, and more. This year, FIFA 22 publishers EA SPORTS have rolled out some key changes to Team of the Week after years of players demanding a rework. In years past, performance-based cards had lost some of their luster. Near-weekly Ultimate Team promos out-shone the TOTW promo, and EA knew a change was needed. In FIFA 22, each squad will include a “Featured Team of the Week,” with the selected player receiving a mighty boost to their stats. Here’s everything you need to know about the mid-week FIFA 22 promo. Contents FIFA 22 TOTW 36 cards revealed The FIFA 22 TOTW 36 is brimming with talent. Not only is it headlined by stellar in-form players including Heung-Min Son, Angel Di Maria, and Andrew Robertson, but it’s also filled out with some of the biggest talents across the board. Here’s a list of the entire squad, which is also the last Team of the Week for FIFA 22: Diego Lopez — 86 – Robertson — 91 – Bastoni — 88 – G. Paulista — 86 – Di Maria — 90 – Gundogan — 88 – Harrison — 84 – Amrabat — 84 – Son — 92 – Delort — 87 – Giroud — 84 – When is FIFA 22 TOTW 37 coming? As noted above, TOTW 36 is the final set of Team of the Week cards for FIFA 22. Meaning there will not be a TOTW 37 release any time soon. EA confirmed the end of the TOTW promo for this season, revealing that Player Pick cards for Weekend League will now consist of cards from TOTW 33-36, with Team of the Season cards also being used at a later date.

  • FIFA 22 TOTY: 5 nominees players shouldn’t vote for – Dexerto

    FIFA 22 TOTY: 5 nominees players shouldn’t vote for EA SPORTSFIFA 22 Team of the Year voting has started up and will close on January 18, but there are some nominees that aren’t even worth a name on the ballot. Team of the Year is supposed to bring together the best of the best players, who will then receive an upgrade in FIFA 22. However, some of EA’s nominees are real head-scratchers this time around. It’s not because they’re all so good it’s tough to pick, either. Some of the players included make you wonder what the qualifications to be nominated actually were. Here, we’ll go over the players that aren’t even worth considering for your TOTY ballot. Worst FIFA 22 TOTY nominees 5. Cristian Romero Since joining Tottenham in 2021, Romero really hasn’t had much of an impact on the club’s fortunes. The 23-year-old has appeared in just seven Premier League matches for Spurs so far, leading to some serious questions of why he was included on the ballot. His performance with the Argentina national side has looked a bit better, but we wouldn’t waste one of our votes on trying to secure him a spot on TOTY – even if he’s a pacey defender. 4. Mats Hummels Hummels’ inclusion on the list of nominees is one that’s somewhat justified by his Bundesliga performances, but it’s not going to be a worthwhile pick, sadly. For a TOTY lineup potentially stacked with players like Mbappe, Lewandowski, Messi, and more, Hummels simply won’t be able to keep up. That is unless EA absolutely supercharges his Pace, but based on his Headliner and base gold card, that doesn’t seem likely. 3. Lucas Paquetá The way the current FIFA meta plays, you’re going to be up the creek without a paddle if you choose players without an engine. That’s why Paqueta, just like Hummels, isn’t worth a vote either. His Pace isn’t as terrible as Hummels, we’ll give him that, but it’s still nothing to write home about. Other midfielders like Heung-Min Son, Mason Mount, Thomas Muller, and Casemiro are just better bets for actually making TOTY, and will probably come with better stats as well. 2. Gerard Moreno Gerard Moreno is a natural goalscorer and lethal finisher at times, but the chances of him being an Ultimate Team success are unlikely. His stats are decent, but compared to other superstars on the list he really just seems like a placeholder or filler EA only included because they didn’t want to make LaLiga fans feel left out. By all means, if you’re a diehard Villareal fan, feel free to include him in your lineup. But, just don’t expect to see him make the first, or second, TOTY teams when they’re finally announced. 1. Harry Kane Finally, we come to Harry Kane. Yes, Tottenham Hotspur fans, two of your players are included here, and there’s not a thing you can do about it. But why Kane? Well, because we’re putting the blame for Tottenham’s disastrous start to the 21/22 season squarely on his shoulders. The striker has struggled to perform for his team since the start of the campaign, scoring just four goals in 17 Premier League appearances. After a positive tournament at EURO 2020, a transfer saga that kept him away from Manchester City, and then a wasteful start to the season – the 28-year-old has some way to go to be FIFA 22 TOTY material. More information on how to vote for your Team of the Season here.

  • FIFA 22 TOTW 9 Predictions | FUT Team of the Week – Dexerto

    FIFA 22 TOTW 9 Predictions | FUT Team of the Week EA SPORTSFIFA 22 Team of the Week 9 will be going live soon, meaning some of the best performers from the international break will be dropping into packs. Here are our TOTW predictions. After an action-packed international break that saw heavy hitters like Harry Kane, Kylian Mbappe, and Robert Lewandowski thrive, FIFA 22 TOTW 9 has the potential to be even more stacked than last week’s team. It wasn’t only the superstars who shined, though. Emiliano Martinez, Enis Bardhi, Ismaila Sarr, and many other players put on incredible performances for their countries. We kept a close eye on the games and believe we’ve come up with the perfect shortlist of players who could be included in FIFA 22 TOTW 9. So, without further ado, let’s take a look at who we think might the cut. As mentioned above, some of football’s biggest superstars, including Harry Kane, Kylian Mbappe, and Robert Lewandowski, ran riot on the international break this week. Kane scored three goals and one assist in England’s 5-0 win over Albania. Mbappe managed to do even better with four goals and one assist, helping France stomp Kazakhstan 8-0. Lewandowski also continued his red-hot form with two goals and one assist. We’re confident the trio is a shoo-in to take the three forward sports in the TOTW 9 starting lineup. They’ll be backed by other top performers, including Emiliano Martinez, Enis Bardhi, Ismaila Sarr, Jordan Henderson, Marco Reus, Leroy Sane, and more. FIFA 22 TOTW 9 Predictions | FUT Team of the Week GK: Craig Gordon – Heart of Midlothian – GK: Emiliano Martinez – Aston Villa – GK: Rui Patricio – Roma – LB: Jose Gaya – Valencia – LB: Neco Williams – Liverpool – LWB: Joakim Maehle – Atalanta – CB: Attila Szalai – Fenerbahce – CB: Duje Caleta-Car – Marseille – CB: Merih Demiral – Atalanta – CB: Piero Hincapié – Bayer Leverkusen – RB: Giovanni Di Lorenzo – Napoli – RB: Silvan Widmer – Mainz 05 – CDM: Jordan Henderson – Liverpool – CM: Aaron Ramsey – Juventus – CM: Enis Bardhi – Levante – CM: İlkay Gündoğan – Manchester City – CM: Lucas Paqueta – Lyon – CAM: Marco Reus – Borussia Dortmund – CAM: Ondrej Duda – FC Köln – RM: Ismaila Sarr – Watford – LW: Leroy Sane – Bayern Munich – LW: Dominik Szoboszlai – RB Leipzig – ST: Robert Lewandowski – Bayern Munich – ST: Harry Kane – Tottenham – ST: Kylian Mbappe – PSG – FIFA 22 TOTW 9 release time & date EA SPORTS announces their FIFA 22 Team of the Week at the same time every week. So, unless that unexpectedly changes, Team of the Week 9 is expected to drop into Ultimate Team packs on Wednesday, November 17 at 6 pm GMT. If by chance, some Ultimate Team cards start surfacing earlier than planned, you’ll be able to find them all in our weekly reveal hub.

  • FIFA 22 TOTW 5 Predictions | FUT Team of the Week – Dexerto

    FIFA 22 TOTW 5 Predictions | FUT Team of the Week Graphics: EA SPORTSFIFA 22 is full steam ahead into another week of new cards in Ultimate Team, starting with a fresh batch of Team of the Week players. So, here are our TOTW 5 predictions. We’re now a few weeks into the FIFA 22 cycle and EA SPORTS have already started making some changes to Ultimate Team. Alongside the release of some new cards from the Road to the Knockouts promo, we’ve also had a live balancing change to address the “broken” long finesse shots that had frustrated players. One thing that never changes, though, is the weekly drop of Team of the Week, and after another pulsating round of fixtures, we’ve got some predictions for TOTW 5. Headlining our predictions for this week are Erling Haaland, Roberto Firmino, Bernado Silva, Edouard Mendy, and Serge Gnabry. That’s right, it could be a pretty big one this week. Read More: How to get FIFA 22 FUT Draft tokens – After his hat-trick against Watford, Firmino is a shoo-in for TOTW 5, while both Haaland and Gnabry should be rewarded for their braces against Mainz and Bayer Leverkusen, respectively. Mendy helped Chelsea take all three points against Brentford with a few match-winning saves in the second half. Elsewhere we’ve also got nods for Mateo Guendouzi, Josip Iličić, and Jason Denayer. Guendouzi lifted Marseille to a 4-1 rout over Lorient, so he should be in. Iličić struck twice for Atalanta against Empoli, so he deserves an upgrade. As for Denayer, the Belgian was in top form against Monaco, keeping a clean sheet and scoring at the other end.

  • FIFA 22 TOTW 8 Predictions | FUT Team of the Week – Dexerto

    FIFA 22 TOTW 8 Predictions | FUT Team of the Week Graphics: EA SPORTSFIFA 22 Team of the Week 8 will be dropping into packs soon and after a stellar week of action, it could be a stacked set of cards. Here are our TOTW predictions. After a hectic week of real-world action, the countdown to FIFA 22 Team of the Week 8 is well underway as we could see a few second in-forms being dished out to some big names. In terms of the big games that fall into consideration for this round of TOTW cards, Manchester City took derby day glory after comfortably dispatching of Manchester United. West Ham United continued their surge up the Premier League table with a win over Liverpool while Barcelona and Borussia Dortmund both slipped up in their pursuit of domestic glory. Players from these games all feature in our predictions for Team of the Week 8, and if we’re spot on, Ultimate Team could get shook up with some tasty cards. Headlining our predictions this week are Neymar, Joao Cancelo, Leon Goretzka, oni Kroos, and Christopher Nkunku. As we said, it could be quite stacked. Neymar should grab his first in-form of the season after bagging two goals for PSG against Bordeaux. With two first-half assists and a clean sheet, Cancelo looks nailed on to represent Man City in TOTW 8 while Nkunku should also pick up his third boosted card of the campaign. Elsewhere, we’ve given nods to Pablo Fornals, Jorge Jota, and Jonathan Clauss. Fornals was central to West Ham’s win over Liverpool, getting on the scoresheet too. Jota bagged twice for Celtic and chipped in with an assist in a man of the Match display. As for Clauss, he matched Jota’s contribution for RC Lens but from right-back, so he seems a shoo-in. FIFA 22 TOTW 8 Predictions | Team of the Week 8 GK: Yann Sommer – Borussia Monchengladbach – GK: Jonas Omlin – Montpellier – GK: Jeremías Ledesma – Cadiz – RB: Jonathan Clauss – RC Lens – RWB: Juan Cuadrado – Juventus – LB: Marcos Acuña – Sevilla – LB: Joao Cancelo – Manchester City – CB: Mattia Caldara – Venezia – CB: Goncalo Inacio – Sporting Lisbon – CB: Bart Vriends – Sparta Rotterdam – CB: Steven Caulker – Gaziantep FK – CM: Leon Goretzka – Bayern Munich – CM: Toni Kroos – Real Madrid – CM: Conor Gallagher – Crystal Palace – CM: Sergi Darder – Espanyol – CM: Joao Pedro – CD Tondela – CAM: Pablo Fornals – West Ham United – CAM: Sebastian Blanco – Portland Timbers – RM: Edin Visca – Başakşehir – RM: Arnaud Nordin – Saint Etienne – RW: Jorge Jota – Celtic – LM: Neeskens Kebano – Fulham – LW: Pedro – Lazio – LW: Everton – Benfica – LW: Neymar – PSG – CF: Christopher Nkunku – RB Leipzig – ST: Iago Aspas – Celta Vigo – ST: Julian Alvarez – River Plate – ST: Yoshinori Muto – Vissel Kobe – ST: Kieffer Moore – Cardiff City – ST: Hugo Duro – Valencia – The @KMbappe ↔️ @neymarjr connection! 🤩 #PasseDé presented by Autohero 📺#FCGBPSG pic.twitter.com/faSAaCqR39 — Paris Saint-Germain (@PSG_English) November 8, 2021 FIFA 22 TOTW 8 release time & date Unless something causes EA SPORTS to make a change, Team of the Week 8 will be dropping into Ultimate Team packs on Wednesday, November 10 at 6 pm GMT. As we’ve seen in the last few weeks, some TOTW cards have surfaced earlier than planned, and if that happens with Team of the Week 8, you’ll be able to find them in our weekly reveal hub.

  • FIFA 22 TOTW 34 Predictions | FUT Team of the Week – Dexerto

    FIFA 22 TOTW 34 Predictions | FUT Team of the Week Graphics: EA SPORTSTeam of the Season may be the talk of the town in FIFA 22 Ultimate Team, but Team of the Week 34 could bolster squads with solid cards. So, let’s get into some predictions. The end of another football season is almost upon us as champions are being crowned across Europe and relegated teams are starting to plan for the future in an attempt at bouncing back. In the case of FIFA Ultimate Team, that means some players are looking ahead to what FIFA 23 might bring, but it’s also the point at which EA releases the long-awaited Team of the Season cards. Already, we’ve had some quality releases with the Premier League, Community, and Eredivise squads – and we’ve still got the Bundesliga, La Liga, Ligue 1, and many others to come. Before EA release another Team of the Season squad, though, they’ve got to release Team of the Week 34. So, without any further ado, let’s get into some predictions. Headlining our predictions for TOTW 34 are Romelu Lukaku, Raheem Sterling, Jan Oblak, Jordi Alba, Julian Brandt, and Luis Alberto. There is certainly some quality to be had this week. After a difficult season upon his return to Chelsea, Lukaku bagged twice in a 2-2 draw with Wolves and should get his second TOTW upgrade of the season. Similarly, Sterling found the net twice in Manchester City’s 5-0 thrashing of Newcastle United and should get a solid new card. Jordi Alba should be rewarded with an upgrade after the Spaniard’s late winner helped propel Barcelona back into the Champions League in their 2-1 win over Real Betis. At the other end of the pitch, Oblak was in fine form for Atletico during the Madrid derby, keeping a clean sheet against Real. FIFA 22 TOTW 34 Predictions | Team of the Week 34 GK: Jan Oblak – Atletico Madrid – GK: Fernando Muslera – Galatasary – LB: Jordi Alba – Barcelona – LB: Zaidu Sanusi – FC Porto – RWB: Nordi Mukiele – RB Leipzig – CB: Kristoff Ajer – Brentford – CB: Oumar Solet – RB Salzburg – CDM: Aurélien Tchouaméni – AS Monaco – CM: Sandro Tonali – AC Milan – CM: Luis Alberto – Lazio – CAM: Julian Brandt – Borussia Dortmund – CAM: Emi Buendia – Aston Villa – LM: Said Benrahma – West Ham United – LM: Marc Cucurella – Brighton and Hove Albion – RM: Francis Amuzu – Anderlecht – RW: Raheem Sterling – Manchester City – RW: Pablo Sarabia – Sporting Lisbon – CF: Anderson Talisca – Al-Nassar – ST: Romelu Lukaku – Chelsea – ST: Patrik Schick – Bayer Leverkusen – ST: Iago Aspas – Celta Vigo – ST: Jorge Molina – Girona – ST: Min-kyu Ju – Jeju United – ST: Ronaldo Cisneros – Atlanta United – Raheem Sterling has become the highest goalscorer in the #PL for #ManCity under Pep Guardiola, surpassing Sergio Aguero! 🔝⭐️ @StatCity pic.twitter.com/prYAC5Mgpz — City Xtra (@City_Xtra) May 8, 2022 FIFA 22 TOTW 34 release time & date As usual, we’re not expecting any issues with the release of Team of the Week. So, we’ll see TOTW 34 arrive on Wednesday, May 11 at 6 PM. If there are delays, though, we’ll have updates on our Team of the Week page, as well as across Twitter with DexertoFC and FUTWatch.

  • FIFA 22 TOTW 4 Predictions | FUT Team of the Week – Dexerto

    FIFA 22 TOTW 4 Predictions | FUT Team of the Week Graphics: EA SPORTSFIFA 22 Team of the Week 4 will be arriving in Ultimate Team before long, and after some brilliant international contests, TOTW 3 could be spicy. After a few weeks of domestic football, some leagues across the globe have taken a pause while a fresh set of international fixtures have been completed. Some nations have played friendlies while others have ramped up their World Cup Qualifying campaigns, but they all count the same when it comes to picking out potential Team of the Week candidates. The first three weeks of FIFA 22 TOTW cards have provided us with some nice upgrades that’ll still be worth using later down the line. Though, week four could be pretty crazy. So, let’s get into some predictions. In terms of headliner players this week, EA could go wild. The likes of Keylor Navas, Kylian Mbappe, Sadio Mane, Jadon Sancho, Memphis Depay, and Riyad Mahrez are all worthy of upgrades. Navas helped his native Costa Rica with two match-winning performances, while PSG teammate Mbappe lit up the UEFA Nations League as France went on to claim the title. Similarly, both Mane and Mahrez were in fine form for Senegal and Algeria respectively, starring in wins over Nambia and Niger. Elsewhere, we could see some nice upgrades for Rodrigo De Paul after he scored in Argentina’s win over Uruguay. Bayern’s Marcel Sabitzer was also in red hot form for Austria, bagging a goal against the Faroe Islands. Sweden’s Alexander Isak is also worthy of an upgrade after a solid goal and performance against Kosovo. FIFA 22 TOTW 4 Predictions | Team of the Week 4 GK: Keylor Navas – PSG – GK: Antony Silva – Puebla – GK: Robin Olsen – Sheffield United – LWB: Andy Robertson – Liverpool – LB: Daley Blind – Ajax – RB: Joakim Maehle – Atalanta – RWB: Jose Pedro Fuenzalida – Universidad Católica – CB: Josko Gvardiol – RB Leipzig – CB: Michael Ngadeu – KAA Gent – CB: Jose Fonte – Lille – CDM: Ibrahim Sangare – PSV Edinhoven – CM: Rodrigo De Paul – Atlético Madrid – CM: Alex Pattison – Harrogate Town – CM: Marcel Sabitzer – Bayern Munich – CAM: Calum Robinson – West Bromwich Albion – RW: Ferran Torres – Manchester City – RW: Jadon Sancho – Manchester United – RM: Riyad Mahrez – Manchester City – RM: Wu Lei – Espanyol – LM: Enner Valencia – Fenerbahce – LW: Abdoul Tapsoba – Standard Liege – CF: Sadio Mane – Liverpool – CF: Memphis Depay – Barcelona – ST: Kylian Mbappe – PSG – ST: Alexander Isak – Real Sociedad – ST: Eric Chupo-Moting – Bayern Munich – ST: Ibrahima Kone – Sarpsborg 08 – ST: Ricardo Pepi – FC Dallas – FIFA 22 TOTW 4 release date & time As always, you’ll be able to get your hands on whatever new cards EA releases when the clock strikes 6 PM (GMT) on Wednesday, October 13. A handful of cards from the last few Team of the Week releases have slipped out early, so if we get any leaks, be sure to check our main FIFA 22 TOTW hub.

  • FIFA 22 TOTW 33 Predictions | FUT Team of the Week – Dexerto

    FIFA 22 TOTW 33 Predictions | FUT Team of the Week Graphics: EA SPORTSTeam of the Week 33 will be arriving in FIFA 22 this week and if our predictions are right, we’ll be seeing a few familiar faces. So, let’s get into them. We’re now into May, which means that European leagues only have a few weeks left before champions are crowned, teams are relegated, and others find themselves moving up via promotion. In terms of FIFA, that means the arrival of Team of the Season. So far, we’ve had two squads released – the Community and Eredivise TOTS – bringing some pretty impressive cards to the end game of FIFA 22. Voting has also closed on the Premier League Team of the Season, and will be released in short order. Though, before that point, we will have the release of Team of the Week 33, and we’ve got some predictions for that. Headlining our predictions this week are Heung Min-Son, Phil Foden, Dries Mertens, Jordan Pickford, Raphael Varane, and Andrea Belotti. So, there could be some decent firepower. An upgrade for Son would mark his third TOTW card of the season, and it is deserved after a brace and an assist for Spurs against Leicester. Similarly, Foden should also be in line for an upgrade after chipping in with two assists for Manchester City against Leeds. Everton’s Jordan Pickford deserves his second Team of the Week card of the year purely for his late heroics – making two save of the season contenders for the Toffees in a 1-0 win over Chelsea. Mertens grabbed two goals for Napoli in a 6-1 win over Sassuolo and is always well worthy of another upgraded card.

  • FIFA 22 TOTW 30 Predictions | FUT Team of the Week – Dexerto

    FIFA 22 TOTW 30 Predictions | FUT Team of the Week Graphics: EA SPORTSFIFA 22 Team of the Week 30 will be arriving in Ultimate Team this week and, if our predictions are right, there should be plenty of firepower to get your hands on. The back half of the FIFA 22 cycle is continuing at pace as we inch ever closer to that magical time of the year that sees Team of the Season cards finally arriving in Ultimate Team. While that annual promo should arrive at the end of May, EA SPORTS have still got plenty of content dropping every few days. The recent FUT Captains promo brought some pretty solid cards to the mix, and there will likely be a second batch as well. Before that, or another new promo drop though, we’ve still got Team of the Week 30 to get through – and after Kylian Mbappe was robbed of an upgrade last week, he can’t miss out for a second week in a row. So, let’s get into some predictions. That’s right, we’re picking Mbappe again as one of our headline picks to go alongside Jordan Pickford, Matthijs De Ligt, Heung-Min Son, Mason Mount, and Circo Immobile. Mbappe should have been nailed on for an upgrade last week after playing a role in every PSG goal, but EA opted for Neymar instead. The French forward grabbed a hat-trick this week against Clermont and should absolutely be in the mix this week. He’ll likely be joined by Heung-Min Son and Immobile as the best forward cards in TOTW 30, with Son being outstanding in Spurs’ 4-0 win over Aston Villa. Immobile on the other hand bagged a hat-trick in Lazio’s 4-1 win away at Genoa. A big win over Manchester United saw Everton’s relegation fears eased a little, and Jordan Pickford played a massive part in that with some key saves. So, he should be in Team of the Week. As should his England teammate Mason Mount after he scored twice in Chelsea’s 6-0 win over Southampton.

  • FIFA 22 TOTW 31 Predictions | FUT Team of the Week – Dexerto

    FIFA 22 TOTW 31 Predictions | FUT Team of the Week Graphics: EA SPORTSFIFA 22 Team of the Week 31 will be arriving in Ultimate Team this Wednesday, and if our predictions are right, it should contain some world-class names. With the end-of-season battles on the pitch starting to really matter, we’re approaching that point in the FIFA calendar where we look ahead to the new game and a summer of interesting promos. EA SPORTS have already gotten the ball rolling on that front as they’ve allowed players to start voting on the Community Team of the Season. Before long, we’ll have the Premier League, La Liga, Bundesliga, and Serie A TOTS cards to boot too. Before we get there though, we’ve still got a few Team of the Week releases to get through, including Team of the Week 31 which should be dominated by two men – Cristiano Ronaldo and Erling Haaland. Accompanying Ronaldo and Haaland as our headline predictions for Team of the Week 31 are Dani Carvajal, Gerard Moreno, Bruno Guimarães, Marcelo Brozovic, and Moussa Dembele. Read More: FIFA 22 Road to the Final upgrade tracker – As noted, Ronaldo and Haaland should be absolute certainties in TOTW 31 given that the Portuguese forward grabbed a hat-trick in United’s 3-2 win over Norwich City, while Haaland grabbed a brace and an assist in Dortmund’s 6-1 demolition of Wolfsburg. Similarly, Moreno bagged a goal and assist in Villarreal’s 2-1 triumph over Getafe, and should grab an out of position upgrade. Guimarães and Brozovic both fired in key goals from midfield, which should earn them pretty nice boosts too.

  • FIFA 22 TOTW 3 Predictions | FUT Team of the Week – Dexerto

    FIFA 22 TOTW 3 Predictions | FUT Team of the Week Graphics: EA SPORTSFIFA 22 is in full swing and we’re getting ready for Team of the Week 3 to be added to Ultimate Team. So, here are our predictions for TOTW 3. The first two sets of Team of the Week cards in FIFA 22 have been a pretty stellar start for the weekly promo. The first set had some great cards in the form of Mo Salah, Joshua Kimmich, and Vincius Jr. Team of the Week 2 had an upgraded Karim Benzema and position change Gabriel Jesus which help change lineups a fair bit. FUT Heroes and Ones to Watch Team 1 have since dropped into the game too as Ultimate Team really starts to get rolling for the new year. Similar to the first two weeks, Team of the Week 3 could have some really nice cards that may have a decent shelf life throughout this year of FUT. And if you’ve bagged a Ones to Watch, you may be in for an early upgrade too. Headlining our Team of the Week 3 predictions are Thomas Lemar, Manuel Locatelli, Samir Handanovic, Hwang Hee-Chan, and Anderson Talisca. It’s a solid crop. A boost for Talisca and Locatelli would see their OTW cards take another step up, and after solid performances, they’re deserving of them. Read More: FIFA 22 celebrations Controls guide – In the case of Hwang Hee-Chan, he continued his goalscoring form in Wolves’ win over Newcastle. Similarly, Thomas Lemar played a key role with a goal and assist as Atletico Madrid beat Barcelona. Also in this batch of predictions we’ve given nods to Musa Barrow, Arnaut Danjuma, and Andreas Iniesta. In past years, Iniesta has always been a solid choice in FUT and this year looks to be no different. The pair of Danjuma and Barrow are also well deserving of early upgrades for standout performances.
