Who Could Be the Feature Star of Next Year’s FIFA?

Everybody has their favourites. However, there are a few players that happen to break away from the usual classification systems in football and manage to become a different entity entirely. 

Whilst no one can be sure who next year’s FIFA star is going to be, there certainly are a few viable candidates. Let’s jump straight into it and talk about which player we might end up seeing become the face of next year’s FIFA. 

There Is An Overwhelming Number Of Amazing Players Out There

2022 has been an exceptional year for football. The number of talented players that have arisen throughout this year is truly mind-boggling, and there have perhaps been more stars produced in 2022 than ever before.

Mohamed Salah, Lautaro Martinez, Vinicius Jr. – the list goes on. The number of talented players in 2022 makes the topic of this article incredibly difficult, and in truth, there is no clear cut answer. 

Any of the players we just mentioned could have a shot at being the feature player of next year’s FIFA, and that even goes without mentioning the likes of Jude Bellingham and Kylian Mbappe who are both likely candidates to take on the role.

Even betting sites like NetBet have had a field day when it comes to predicting the odds of games – when any one player can change the entire course of a game, things begin to get a little complicated when there are multiple world-class players on the pitch. 

Unlike most other years, there has not truly been one “showcase” player of 2022. Instead, there has been an overwhelming number of exceptionally talented players, and any one of them could easily become a prime candidate for EA.

Winning The Audience Over Is Far More important Than Skill Alone

Whilst skill certainly plays a role in public notoriety, the factor that separates the greats from the legends is their ability to win over the crowd. All of the most famous football players had something about them that set them apart from the rest, and this special something is exactly what EA are going to think about when choosing their next showcase player.

Fan-favourites are much more likely to receive FIFA’s feature over their lesser-known counterparts, and when you factor in the fact that the feature star can have an astronomical impact on sales, it comes as no surprise that this is the case.

So, who do you think will be the face of next year’s FIFA? In reality, it is impossible to know for sure. There is an incredible roster of players that would easily deserve such an honour, and picking amongst them is going to be no easy task for EA.

It is likely that the mystery player will be revealed in the not so distant future, and only then will we know exactly who it will be. Until then; keep playing, and keep having fun. Good luck.
