We are already looking ahead to FIFA 22, with it set to be the first in the series to be fully optimized for next-gen consoles.

We are expecting the game to arrive in late September, although no official release date has been confirmed yet.

The most popular game will once more be Ultimate Team, but what does EA have in store for us on FIFA 22?

Latest news – Three new Icons ‘confirmed’

News surrounding FIFA 22 is starting to appear regularly, with some potential new Icon players now ‘confirmed’ on Twitter.

There are plenty of leaks over social media, especially after the Beta went live on Wednesday, 23 June, but was taken down within 24 hours after a string of leaks were released across the web.

So far, we have seen Alfredo di Stefano, Cafu, and Antonio Di Natale all heavily linked with a place among the FIFA 22 Icons.

We have also seen a ‘FUT Heroes Club’ mentioned too, so we could have a variant to the regular Icon players next season.

Match Modes

We can’t see EA making sweeping changes to the match modes, but they could use some tinkering.

Division Rivals

Arguably the most competitive game mode, we don’t think Division Rivals (and Weekend League) needs changing too much.

The FUT community would love better rewards, but the mode itself is solid as is. Adjustments to the co-op objectives would take the mode to new heights.

Squad Battles

For those who prefer to play online, it can be monotonous and time consuming, especially when trying to complete objectives.

This is another mode that needs the injection of co-op in its objectives to become a really enjoyable FUT mode.

FUT Friendlies

EA has started to use FUT Friendlies for their objectives, and so far, we have loved it.

Having to assemble new teams has actually been refreshing from the meta squads we see on a weekly basis, although some of the ‘score in x number of games’ objectives have created new issues.

Icons

We saw the FUT 100 introduced on FIFA 21, and with the addition of David Beckham there are now 101 legendary players available in Ultimate Team.

We want to see more added too, and we think Wayne Rooney has a great chance of being included after his transition into management.

There are plenty of other players who could be included too. After the likes of Xavi and Fernando Torres were added to FIFA 21, we have high expectations.

Take a closer look at potential FIFA 22 Icons.

Icon Leak

Seven legends of football have been ‘leaked’ ahead of FIFA 22.

It is rumoured that these players will be returning to the game as Icon players in Ultimate Team.

We would love this to be true as the seven players named are deserving of a place among the Icon elite.

Co-op

Probably the most disappointing aspect of FIFA 21 Ultimate Team.

There were high hopes for co-op when it was introduced this season, but the lack of objectives available to complete in the mode has been dreadful.

If the Squad Battles, Rivals, and even FUT Friendly objectives were all available to complete while in co-op mode then the FUT community would be much happier.

To be fair to EA this has now changed, leaving plenty of room for growth in co-op as we believe it will go from strength to strength.
