The release of a new FIFA game is always an exciting time in the calendar.
Despite the many issues that plagued FIFA 20 - especially after its immediate release - there’s still plenty of buzz surrounding EA Sports’ new game, FIFA 21, which will be released on October 9.
The ratings for the top 100 players were revealed last month, with Lionel Messi coming out on top as the game’s best player.
Robert Lewandowski, Neymar, Kevin De Bruyne and, of course, Cristiano Ronaldo, joined Messi in the top 10.
Those five players will be lusted after in Ultimate Team. And so too will a collection of FIFA 21’s most improved players.
