FIFA 22 has been fully released to the public since Monday for those who pre-ordered the Ultimate Edition version of the game, giving fans an insight into what this year’s players look like.
With the addition of Cristiano Ronaldo in the Manchester United team in this year’s game it’s likely they are going to be a popular choice amongst gamers.
However, last year, the Red Devils went viral for having a handful of questionable player face scans that, basically, looked nothing like their real-life counterparts.
The devs at EA had their work cut out for them this year to ensure players like Mason Greenwood looked the part, and while they did a great job on him this time, fans aren’t so sure on the rest of the squad.
Below is the entire squad, let us know what you think.
Cristiano Ronaldo
Marcus Rashford
Mason Greenwood
Bruno Fernandes
Paul Pogba
Raphael Varane
Jadon Sancho
Harry Maguire
Luke Shaw
David de Gea
Edinson Cavani
Fred
Aaaron Wan-Bissaka
Diogo Dalot
Jesse Lingard
Donny van de Beek

Manchester City agree deal to sign top Premier League defender Marc Guehi
Danny Jones
It looks like they’ve finally got a done deal: Manchester City have reportedly agreed a deal for the transfer of highly sought-after defender Marc Guehi.
Man City are said to have finally reached an agreement with Crystal Palace to sign the increasingly established Three Lions star after emerging as a suitor in recent weeks.
Pep Guardiola’s pursuit of the impressive Premier League centre-back ramped up earlier this month, as it became apparent that they were hoping to hijack Liverpool’s prospective move for Guehi.
The Ivory Coast-born England international looked all set to arrive at Anfield back in the summer, but the deal never materialised, and now rivals City appear to have sealed his signature.
According to breaking transfer news specialist Fabrizio Romano, Palace and Man City are said to have now reached an agreement in principle for approximately £20 million.

It’s fair to say that it’s an absolute bargain for a player of his quality.
While details surrounding contract length, wages and add-ons, etc., are yet to be fully confirmed (as is final verification as per an official announcement via his new employers), personal terms are not expected to be an issue.
On the other hand, the acquisition will also see Man City’s total spending to roughly half a billion pounds over the past year alone. Staggering sums for any sporting outfit.
Not that his former London team will mind one bit, of course, as it became increasingly clear that Guehi would be leaving eventually; manager Oliver Glasner – who also seems set to depart at the end of his contract – even addressed the sale in his most recent press conference.
You can see the clip in question down below.
''I wish him all the best for the rest of his career, he will have a great career I think''
Once again, we will have to wait for the official unveiling at the Etihad Campus, but we’d say that this interview is all the verification you need.
With Man City currently facing multiple absences, particularly in their backline with both Josko Gvardiol and Ruben Dias out injured, Guehi’s arrival is no doubt a welcome one.
Although many debated whether or not Pep needed to sign another centre-half, especially with two promising youth players returning from loan, supporters will nevertheless be glad to have snatched him from the clutches of Liverpool.
Over in the women’s team, they’ve also brought in a new member of the squad who could help spur on their title charge.
