    FIFA 21 full list of 5-star skillers revealed including Cristiano Ronaldo and Man Utd star Marcus Rashford but no Messi

    by

    CRISTIANO RONALDO, Kylian Mbappe and Marcus Rashford lead the list of footballers who have been given five-star skills in FIFA 21.
    EA Sports announced that just 54 players on the game have been given the coveted dribbling attribute awarded to the best skillers in the world.

    Mbappe’s Paris Saint-Germain team-mate Neymar also retains his five-star rating from FIFA 20 alongside 38-year-old Zlatan Ibrahimovic.
    Manchester United fans could have the chance to have two silky forwards leading the line after Jadon Sancho was also recognised for his dribbling.
    Five-star skillers are often the most fun players to use on FIFA, with the select few players able to perform moves like no other.
    The sombrero flick, the triple elastico, the advanced rainbow and the tornado spin are among the unique tricks on this year’s title.

    And it also why Lionel Messi, who favours body feints over rabonas, is once again on four-star skills despite being widely considered one of the best dribblers in the world.
    Paul Pogba and Rashford have been representing the Premier League’s top tricksters however alongside Crystal Palace ace Wilfried Zaha.
    They join Liverpool duo Roberto Firmino and Xherdan Shaqiri, Chelsea new boy Hakim Ziyech, Manchester City speedster Riyad Mahrez, Newcastle’s Allan Saint-Maximin and Everton outcast Yannick Bolasie.
    Sunderland winger Aidan McGeady also holds the unique feat of the only five-star skiller in England outside of the Premier League.

      Lionel Messi leads FIFA 21 ratings with THREE Liverpool players named in top 10

      by

      LIONEL MESSI has retained his crown as the highest-rated player on FIFA with the Barcelona captain just ahead of Cristiano Ronaldo in the upcoming video game.
      The Premier League can also boast four players in EA Sports’ top ten – including three from title winners Liverpool.

      Messi, meanwhile, still sits on top of the pile despite seeing his rating fall from 94 to 93 after a trophyless season with Barcelona.
      That puts him just ahead of Juventus superstar Cristiano Ronaldo on 92 – also a decrease from last year’s instalment.
      The Portugal captain will also be representing Piemonte Calcio in FIFA 21 once again for licensing reasons.
      Bayern Munich striker Robert Lewandowski is one of four players rated 91.

      The Polish striker has effectively replaced Eden Hazard, who had been given the same score as the FIFA 20 cover star.
      Yet the former Chelsea man has dropped from fourth to outside the top ten following a difficult first season with Real Madrid.
      Kevin De Bruyne has been crowned the Premier League’s best player just days after his PFA Player of the Year award.
      The Belgian assist king – who has an outstanding passing mark of 93 – joins Lewandowski, Paris Saint-Germain ace Neymar and Atletico Madrid goalkeeper Jan Oblak with a 91 rating in FIFA 21.

      Liverpool’s title-winning trio Virgil van Dijk, Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane all have 90 ratings on the game.
      Jurgen Klopp’s men are also joined by PSG superstar and FIFA 21 poster boy Kylian Mbappe.
      The game is set to be released on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch and Microsoft Windows on October 9.

      Ten major changes to FIFA 21 including major upgrades on dribbling, shooting, pace and through balls

      by

      FANS are eagerly awaiting Fifa 21 after the latest trailer revealed a boatload of gameplay improvements.
      The EA Sports game is released across consoles and PC in October.

      And a raft of new details have emerged from what promises to be another groundbreaking new instalment of the ever-popular franchise.
      Here, SunSport delves into the ten most important changes being made for the new game.
      Overpowered No More
      Every year, the new Fifa promises to be more intelligent than the previous year and 21 is no different.
      This time around, the player’s tactical rating will affect their ability to deploy their stats for pace, dribbling and shooting – meaning lesser stars cannot dominate due to just one ability.

      Career Mode
      One of the most painfully ignored aspects of the franchise, career mode is set to be tweaked with fresh player growth, training and transfer systems.
      But if that sounds like too much, a new Interactive Match Sim mode allows players to simulate the more boring parts of matches and jump into the driver’s seat for key attacking and defending opportunities.

      A new trailer has shown off some new features for the seriesCredit: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jmliox1trPQ
      Gameplay Rewind
      On kick-off mode, the abject sight of a major missed chance or fluffed free-kick routine will be a thing of the past.
      That is because Fifa are dropping in a new Rewind system, similar to that found in certain driving sims, to allow Bruno Fernandes that second chance at slotting home a penalty.

      Through Balls
      Along with a new ‘Long’ through ball option, Fifa 21 is trying to give players far greater variety when sending through a defence-splitting pass.
      The game is said to far better understand what is required to meet the attacker with a through ball, enabling better players to even curl and bounce passes through.

      Silky Movement
      One of the key desires of a Fifa gamer is having players act realistically to make the most of their traits.
      Next year’s Positioning Personality feature hopes to send top stars around the pitch in their most lifelike manner, bombing Jamie Vardy onto long lobs and dropping Raheem Sterling on the back stick for a perfectly timed finish.
      Creative Runs
      Speaking of which, more control is being granted over off-the-ball movement.
      Directed pass-and-go and directed runs allow the controller to seamlessly guide an attacker onto a pass – with the option to lock on and completely control just the one forward too.

      Dribbling
      It isn’t just about sweet passes and long-range rockets when it comes to besting your rival – thanks to Agile Dribbling.
      Skill moves may have been complained about in the past as overpowered yet Fifa 21 is aiming to add a fresh dose of unpredictability for defenders with more control over skills and dribbles.
      Natural Collisions
      Some of the series’ most comical mishaps have come when players tragically bang into each other before wobbling around in a jarring manner.
      Fifa 21 promises to smooth out the whole process of hitting the deck with a fresh set of animations.

      Time Wasting
      Hate watching your online opponent sit on a goal kick for an agonising amount of time?
      EA are set to knock this one on the head with a limit between 12 and 20 seconds for set-pieces, down from 30, with a bunch of setup animations dropped from online games.
      Competitor Mode
      Ever thought you were good enough to pack in your job, or school, and go pro on Fifa?
      Perhaps try out new Competitor Mode first, a new offline difficulty level even greater than Legendary – based around the intricacies and masterful handling of real-life professional gamers.

      EA Sports removes FIFA 21 ‘toxic’ celebrations after complaints from gamers with no more ‘shushing’ or ‘A-OK’ gestures

      by

      EA SPORTS will remove certain celebrations from FIFA 21 to prevent spreading “toxic” behaviour among gamers.
      The renowned ‘shushing’ celebration is just one of those to be scrapped.

      2

      EA Sports are scrapping a number of ‘toxic’ celebrations in FIFA21
      It consists of a player holding his finger to his lips after finding the target to ‘shush’ the opposing fans into silence.
      Another celebration to go is the ‘A-OK’ hand gesture which was last year added to a list of hate symbols because of its connotations with white supremacists.
      EA said in a statement: “We were told by the community that there are toxic behaviours in the game and we wanted to make sure we removed them.
      “So we removed some of the celebrations that people thought were not the best idea to have in the game.

      “The flow is shorter, which is to try to keep you playing most of the time instead of just waiting.
      “All together the intention there is just to keep you playing instead of doing other things that may not be necessary in the game.”
      FIFA are expected to release the latest version of their popular game on October 9.

      FIFA remains one of the most popular games in the world having announced that over 10 million people played the current version.

      FIFA 21 to introduce radical new crossing feature inspired by Liverpool star Trent Alexander-Arnold

      by

      TRENT Alexander-Arnold has inspired radical new crossing features on FIFA 21.
      The England ace bagged 13 assists this season – second only to Manchester City superstar Kevin De Bruyne.

      FIFA 21 will be released on October 9 this year
      And EA Sports’ globally popular football game has introduced new gameplay to reflect the right-back’s impressive technique.
      Players in wide positions will be able to utilise the new moves making it easier for strikers to finish from close range.
      The new crossing techniques include:
      WHIPPED CROSS – Inspired by TAA
      R1/RB + L1/LB + ⬜/X – A ferocious bent ball will fly through the penalty box – ideal for strikers to nod past the keeper.

      DRIVEN CROSS
      R1/RB + ⬜/X – Not so different from whipped crosses but fired in at waist height instead. Perfect for a volley or glanced shot.
      GROUND DRIVEN CROSS
      R1/RB + ⬜/X then ⬜/X – A rapid ball delivered along the ground.
      FIFA 21 is released on October 9 – delayed from its usual September launch because of coronavirus.
      Fans will also hope direct free-kicks have been improved after widespread criticism of them in FIFA 20.

      Gamers can also expect new features including agile dribbling, tactical players having bigger impacts on the game, better natural collisions and improved player animations.

      Former Liverpool midfielder Danny Murphy previously praised Alexander-Arnold for his excellent ball work and even compared him to football icon David Beckham.
      Murphy told TalkSport: “Trent’s display of passing and technical ability that we’ve not seen in a full-back for many, many years.
      “Trent, for me, is as good a crosser of the ball I’ve seen since Beckham.”
