Indeed, Cresswell is one of those players who has just got better and better, highly-rated within the game as both an athlete and a technically gifted player, as can be seen in his in-form FIFA 15 card – the season he switched to West Ham United. Having established himself as a consistent performer in the Premier League, Fabianski’s ratings began to reflect his status in the upper echelons of the top-flight’s shot-stoppers.Ĩ1-rated as a base in FIFA 21, he was earlier this season rewarded for a last-minute penalty save against Fulham with this spectacular 84-rated ‘in-form’ card.Īaron Cresswell Cresswell in FIFA 11, FIFA 12, FIFA 15, FIFA 17 and FIFA 20Ĭress won’t be thanking us for digging out this old gem from his time at Tranmere Rovers!Ī 21-year-old local left-back playing in League One, Cresswell’s ratings have soared in tandem with the wider recognition of his ability even between his first cards in FIFA 11 and FIFA 12 (when he’d transferred to Championship side Ipswich Town) there is a vast increase.

With the same appeal of collecting football stickers, coins or Top Trumps, Ultimate Team is all about vying for the rare player cards – the Ronaldos and Messis of the world – who’ll star in players' dream teams and help conquer all opponents that come before them.Īt the start of every season, EA assigns each player an overall (“OVR”) rating out of 100, which is a combination – weighted depending on their position – of ratings in six categories: pace, dribbling, shooting, defending, passing, and physical attributes.

They did – and it was so popular, the servers crashed. The globally popular game mode has been a fixture of EA SPORTS’ football gaming title since the FIFA 09 iteration of the game, where it was initially released an additional mode for which players had to pay extra to access.
