Содержание выпуска: 17-Sep-2019 — MATCH!

REAL DEAL! Barcelona might have the best player on the new game, but fierce rivals Real Madrid have got 12 players in the top 100 – more than any other club in the world! Man. City are on top in the Prem with ten, ahead of European champions Liverpool, who’ve got seven! BACK ON TOP! Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo began FIFA 19 as joint-best players, but this time Leo’s in front. It’s the first time since FIFA 16 that the Barça ledge has been the game’s top dog, and we’re not shocked – he was involved in 20 more league goals than CR7 last season! OVERRATED NEYMAR? Once again, Neymar is the third-best player on the game with an OVR of 92, but it hasn’t been a popular decision!…

WILLIAM SALIBA SAINT-ETIENNE The centre-back sensation has just one more season in France before he leaves to join Arsenal for £30 million next summer! WHY WATCH HIM? Gunners fans will want to keep a close eye on how their new signing gets on in this season’s EL – it’s Saliba’s first proper test against big European opposition, and his chance to test himself against top-class strikers! STEVEN BERGWIJN PSV The wonderkid winger was one of the deadliest attackers in the Eredivisie last season, bagging 14 goals and 12 assists. Top talent! WHY WATCH HIM? Netherlands just keep on producing exciting young stars at the moment, and Bergwijn is one of the latest. He’s a classic winger with tons of pace and dribbling ability, and Europe’s top clubs will all be…

THE LOWDOWN WHO? These two giants need no introduction – Inter and AC Milan are two of the biggest football clubs on the planet! WHERE? They both share the same city and play at the same stadium – the San Siro! WHAT’S THE BEEF? Originally, there was only one club in Milan, but it split into two over an argument about foreign players. The founders of Inter wanted to sign players from all over the world – that’s why their name means ‘international’ in Italian! Since then, they’ve clashed hundreds of times, and both lifted tons of silverware! HEROES & VILLAINS Unlike other big rivalries, loads of players have played for both Milan sides, including Andrea Pirlo, Mario Balotelli, Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Ronaldo. AC’s Andrey Shevchenko is the all-time top…

RENNES v CELTIC Thursday, 5.55pm Celtic’s European campaign begins with a trip to France to face Rennes – where Arsenal were beaten 3-1 last season! MAN. UNITED v ASTANA Thursday, 8pm The Kazakhstan side are visiting Old Trafford for the first time in history, and they’re eyeing a massive upset! WOLVES v BRAGA Thursday, 8pm Molineux will be bouncing for Wolves’ first-ever Europa League game! Keep an eye on Wolves’ Portuguese heroes! LEEDS v DERBY Saturday, 12.30pm There was plenty of drama when these two met in last season’s play-offs, so they’ll both be going full throttle here! E. FRANKFURT v ARSENAL Thursday, 5.55pm Chelsea needed a penalty shootout to knock Frankfurt out last season, but the Germans have sold Jovic and Haller! RANGERS v FEYENOORD Thursday, 8pm The Gers…

10 HIRVING LOZ ANO Napoli £39 million ‘Chucky’ had an awesome World Cup in 2018, but he stayed at PSV for another season. He got his mega move in the summer, becoming Napoli’s club-record signing and the most expensive Mexican footballer ever – and busted net just 20 minutes into his Serie A debut. Ledge! 9 IDRISS A GUE YE PSG £30 million PSG’s attacking flair has been enough to win them back-to-back Ligue 1 titles, but gaffer Thomas Tuchel pinpointed a DM warrior to help make them more of a force in the CL – and the man for the job is ex-Everton star Gueye. In his first two games, he only got dribbled past once! 8 NABIL FEKIR Real Betis £17.8 million When you consider Liverpool almost splashed…

IT’S PEP’S TIME! Pep Guardiola’s had some tough luck in the CL since he last won it in 2011 – last season City were in the semi-finals until a VAR decision ended their hopes! After lifting back-to-back PL titles, we think the CL is his No.1 target this year! DE BRUYNE’S BACK! Unlike last season, Guardiola has KDB available again! The on-fire midfielder only started three CL games last season, and was never at his best, but now he’s fully fit and firing! His eagle-eyed vision, wicked assists and long-range shooting could make all the difference for City! GOAL MACHINES! Although they’ve been knocked out in the quarters by English sides in the last two campaigns, City were still the top scorers in last season’s CL with 30 goals! Sergio…

DIDIER DROGBA IVORY COAST ST Chelsea fans will be buzzing to see Drogba on the new game and, if you like playing direct, you should be too! Nobody bullies defenders like the big Ivory Coast striker, and his combination of strength, pace and lethal finishing will make the OVR 91 star unplayable! RONALD KOEMAN NETHERLANDS CB Koeman’s top-rated card is 91 and, although he played as a centre-back, he was known just as much for his attacking threat as his defensive ability. The ex-Barcelona star had an incredible range of passing, and once scored a banging free-kick in a CL final! ANDREA PIRLO ITALY CM Even at the end of his career, Pirlo was one of the best passers and free-kick takers on FIFA 18, so all of his Icon…

Kean chicken! Richarlison’s chicken dance celebration is contagious… Tricky tekkers! Raul Jimenez is taking no-look finishes to a whole new level! WWE-st Ham! Yarmolenko had Norwich’s Lewis pinned to the ground! Pep pressure! Pep Guardiola demands a high-five from all his stars! Ref sandwich! Referee Mike Dean might want to get out of the way! Limbo lover! All those hours of limbo practise finally came in handy for Witsel! Crash landing! Firmino’s face really says it all here... Harry Kane-d! The Arsenal players stuck glue on the goalposts! Freeze it! It looks like Bale’s been caught doing something he shouldn’t be... Fashion fail! Coutinho is really getting into his new German life!…

REDS AIM FOR REVENGE! Liverpool and Napoli know each other well – as well as facing off twice in last season’s Champions League group stage, they also met in apre-season friendly this summer! Jurgen Klopp’s side want revenge after losing 1-0 at the Italians’ stadium last October – and for their 3-0 pre-season defeat! ALL-OUT ATTACKS! We’re not sure there’s a more exciting fixture this week than Barcelona’s trip to Dortmund! With the likes of Lionel Messi, Antoine Griezmann, Jadon Sancho and Marco Reus all on display, there’s flair everywhere you look! Which of the two awesome attacks will come out on top on Tuesday RONALDO RETURNS! The spotlight will be on one man when Juve travel to Madrid to take on Atletico – Cristiano Ronaldo! As well as scoring…

MASON SAYS: “I THINK THE KIT WILL APPEAL TO PRETTY MUCH EVERYONE! YOUNGER FANS WILL LIKE THAT IT HAS A STREETWEAR VIBE, AND OLDER FANS WILL REMEMBER CLUB LEGENDS WHO DONNED THE FAMOUS JERSEY AND THEIR MEMORIES OF GOING TO GAMES!” MARVEL MODELS! Mason Mount and Tammy Abraham were chosen to model Chelsea’s brand new third kit, and they’ve been two of The Blues’ brightest sparks this season. Mount has proven he can make the step up to the Prem after working under Lamps at Derby, while Abraham is leading the line brilliantly after owning the EFL for Aston Villa – they scored all of the club’s first six league goals between them! SLICK STYLE! The orange trim on the new kit nods to the cool colour featured on their…

PUSHING ON! VIRGIL SAYS: “Last year doesn’t count anymore. Everybody was still enjoying having won the Champions League when we came back, but straight away it was down to playing again. We don’t have anything that we can use from last year other than trying to be confident and believing in our ability. We have to work hard in every match, stay focused on making a good start and push on!” STRONGER THAN EVER! VIRGIL SAYS: “If everyone stays fit, then we are definitely going to be stronger than last year. But we play so many games – all of the teams that play in the Champions League have that, and we also have the FIFA Club World Cup as well, so we have to manage that and hopefully everyone…

EFL CLUB FOCUS THIS WEEK: SWANSEA FACTFILE Nickname: The Swans Date founded: 1912 Stadium: Liberty Stadium Capacity: 21,088 Did You Know?

Their two wingers offer real attacking threat to support main goal grabber Baston! STEVE COOPER Cooper is the man that guided England to the U17 World Cup trophy in 2017, but this is his first job in charge of a club team.
