International breaks are far from the most popular time in the football calendar but teams are available to take control of in FIFA 22.

EA have lifted the cloth off their all-new virtual sim which, typically, has been purchased by millions of gamers across the globe who have been eager to jump right into the action.

Despite receiving mixed reviews, the developers have attempted to input as many teams as possible to provide plenty of variation for those in the gaming community.

While plenty of focus has been on club football, sometimes the national teams in FIFA games over the years tend to get overlooked - mainly due to game modes such as Pro Clubs and Ultimate Team (FUT).

Despite this, Career Mode fans have the option to manage both a national team as well as a club of their choice. However, there are certain nations that should be avoided.
