      Pele’s FIFA 21 team will leave you drooling with Cristiano Ronaldo, Lionel Messi and Son in ultra-attacking XI

      by

      PELE has picked an ultra-attacking FIFA 21 side, available to challenge within the game.The Brazilian, arguably the greatest player of all time, attempted to cram in as many attacking players as he possibly could.

      Only two out and out central defenders feature, while the 80-year-old didn’t bother with any midfielders.
      His team is about one thing – attack, attack, attack.
      German goalkeeper Manuel Neuer gets the nod between the sticks.
      While Sergio Ramos and Thiago Silva are picked in defence.
      The duo are joined in a back three by ultra attacking wing-back and former Pele team-mate Carlos Alberto – scorer of one of the great World Cup final goals in 1970.
      Midfield doesn’t really exist for Pele, so he has plonked compatriot Neymar and former rival turned pal Diego Maradona in the centre of the park.
      Mo Salah and Son Heung-min are shoehorned in as wing-backs – with Spurs fans likely to remember the latter’s disastrous attempt at playing the position during their 2017 FA Cup semi-final loss to Chelsea in which they went down 4-2.
      The front three is then packed with even more flair, speed and goals.

      Arsenal sign 10-year-old wonderkid Leo Messo as he poses with Per Mertesacker and is gifted special 99 FIFA card

      by

      Mertesacker is the current academy manager of Arsenal and so will oversee the progression of their newest recruit.
      The pair had a photo taken together as Messo held up a personalised Arsenal shirt with No9 on the back.
      The young Kenyan wore an Arsenal tracksuit while being shown around his new club.
      At the end of the video, he can then be seen posing with a FIFA card with his face on.
      And Arsenal had it specially made so that all his attributes were 99.
      The Gunners have an impressive reputation for bringing academy players through in recent years.
      Current first team stars such as Bukayo Saka, Emile Smith Rowe and Eddie Nketiah have all come through the youth team at Arsenal.
      And historically many Gunners legends have joined as youngsters including Martin Keown, Tony Adams and Ray Parlour.

      Meanwhile, former Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger revealed in 2018 how they missed out on Barcelona legend Lionel Messi.
      Wenger, who managed the team from 1996 to 2018, spoke before he left the Emirates about how close he got to signing both the Argentine and defender Gerard Pique.
      Speaking initially about Cesc Fabregas, Wenger said: “The story of Cesc Fabregas is that Franny Cagiago and Steve Rowley brought the player here and we had to convince him.
      “I met Cesc’s parents and at the time we were interested in Messi and Pique as well. We tried for the three but of course it didn’t work out, but we got a gem there in Cesc and he is an exceptional player. A brain for football.
      “[It didn’t work out with Messi and Pique] because of the agents. I think it was linked with Nike at the time and they wanted Pique to go to Man United.
      “With Messi, Barcelona didn’t want to lose him of course and they made [the offer] that was needed to keep the player at the club.
      “I don’t really know if Messi was interested… I couldn’t get close to try to force the deal because Barcelona stopped that possibility very early.”

      Kiyan Prince’s family hail FIFA 21 tribute to QPR teenager on 15th anniversary of tragic death

      by

      KIYAN PRINCE’S dream of playing for Queens Park Rangers has finally been realised through the FIFA 21 video game on the 15th anniversary of the academy star’s tragic death.Superhoops hopeful Kiyan was stabbed and killed in West London at the age of 15 while trying to break up a fight.
      Kiyan Prince is being added to FIFA 21 as a playable character for QPR
      The academy starlet was fatally stabbed in 2006 at the age of 15
      His father, Dr Mark Prince OBE, has led an incredible campaign to educate youngsters on the dangers of violent crime alongside Championship side QPR, who even named their stadium after the Kiyan Prince Foundation.
      Developers at visual effects company Framestore, together with the Prince family, EA Sports and Bradford University, have collaborated to create a likeness of Kiyan that is now playable on FIFA 21.
      The talented footballer will go straight into the QPR squad with the No30 shirt to show the world the star that he would have become.
      And Dr Prince has hailed the idea as both a perfect tribute to his son and a vital reminder to youngsters that knives are not the answer.
      He told SunSport: “This fitted perfectly with my gut and my spirit telling me that Kiyan was never going to just fade away into obscurity.
      “I was over the moon and felt in my heart that this was meant to be.”
      QPR director of football Les Ferdinand also backed the idea as the club continues its work in the community, which includes its exemplary response to the Grenfell Tower disaster.
      He said: “Kiyan is very much still in our hearts and minds and for this to come to fruition is a huge honour for him and his family.
      Kiyan’s father, Dr Mark Prince (right) has revealed his happiness at the tribute

      “We are a community club and take our role very seriously, and he was one of the members of our community, someone we had high hopes for.
      “All the supporters will be immensely proud to see him recognised in this way.”
      Dr Prince has told gamers to expect the 30-year-old playable Kiyan Prince to be a powerful, dynamic player.
      In describing Kiyan’s playing style, he said: “In a word: powerful.
      “If you’d have seen this guy at 15… most people thought he was in an adult body. His power, driving through midfield, going down the wing, was ridiculous.
      “He was very confident, had great leadership qualities, he really lifted his team and brought his energy to the pitch.”
      Not only will Kiyan feature in the game but a direct link to the Foundation will offer users the education and advice services Dr Prince has dedicated his time to providing.
      The former boxer outlined his fear that the war on knife crime is failing, urging everyone from the top to the bottom of society to increase their efforts against it.
      My son didn’t die for me to just sit around and have him in the game, this is to get to the very highest levels.Dr Mark PrinceKiyan’s Father
      He continued: “You see all the time, the violence on the streets is increasing.
      “The mindset of these people is to resolve conflict with knives and that has to be stopped.
      “My son didn’t die for me to just sit around and have him in the game, this is to get to the very highest levels – to lobby for change in policy and law so that there is a system that doesn’t just criminalise young people but cares enough to find out what the real problem is, tackle it, and restore them back to the community.”
      The Foundation is looking to work with the army, Government, parents and more to provide support for those who may be turning to knives as a way of dealing with their personal issues.
      Dr Mark said: “I didn’t just want Kiyan in the game, because the story is bigger than that. 
      “This is about the next generation and creating change, reaching more of them to show them that there is a better way. That there’s nothing that can prevent you from becoming successful.
      Kiyan will don the No30 shirt in FIFA 21
      The Superhoops hopeful’s dream of playing for the club will finally be fulfilled
      “On the game you will have access to the Foundation where we will take you through the process; help you with employment, your education, your mindset. We can help. 
      “We’re providing the same sort of support for you to be great that Kiyan received for him to be great.”
      Ex-England striker Ferdinand, who grew up in West London, outlined how football can play a major role in keeping the streets safe.
      He said: “We’re all looking for ways to help in the best possible way.
      “If this can bring it home to people and this helps them to change their behaviours then this can only be a good thing. 
      “I think we’re all baffled at what it is that we can do, we talk about whether the Government or police can do more. But we need to do everything we can as individuals to try and help this situation because we’re hearing about it all too often.
      “There is not a day or week where it isn’t talked about on the news and unfortunately it seems to be getting worse rather than better.

      “I’ve got kids, I know the players who have kids, are all terrified of them walking the streets because of this situation.
      “That’s why this has come to fruition as we know football plays a big role in many of these young men’s lives and hopefully this can help.
      “Mark is an inspiration as he goes into places each and every day, trying to get these guys off the streets, to educate them on knife crime.
      “He’s having to live what happened to his son each and every day, we’re backing him as much as we can to hopefully eradicate what’s going on in this country.”
      Members of the public who want to support the campaign can donate to the Kiyan Prince Foundation by texting KPF (then the amount) to 70490. For more information please visit: https://www.thekpf.com/.

      Jamie Carragher backs petition calling for Liverpool legend and Gary Neville to be added as FIFA 22 commentators

      by

      JAMIE CARRAGHER has backed a petition to get him and Gary Neville added as commentators for the FIFA 22 game.
      EA Sports changed the voices for the FIFA 21 edition as they binned off Martin Tyler and Alan Smith.

      Carragher and Neville have established themselves as two of the very best pundits in EnglandCredit: Action Images – Reuters

      They were replaced by Derek Rae and former Arsenal defender Lee Dixon, voices which are very rarely heard on live games.
      And now an online petition has begun to endorse Carra and Nev for the upcoming edition of the game, something the Liverpool legend himself is in favour of.
      Taking to Twitter, he said: “Where’s the pen & paper??!!!!”
      The description of the petition reads: “Gary Neville and Jamie Carragher are the best two co-commentators and pundits in the game right now.

      “Fans deserve their soundbites and analysis on FIFA games to add to the realism and make it a much more enjoyable experience.
      “The pairing of Martin Tyler and Alan Smith has gone in FIFA 21 and it’s just not the same with Derek Rae and Lee Dixon, particularly as they never do commentary on Premier League games.
      “EA Sports need to do the right thing and get the most beloved duo in the booth and have their dulcet tones on FIFA 22.”
      BET OF THE DAY: GET HARRY KANE TO SCORE OR ASSIST VS BURNLEY AT HUGE 25/1

      And a number of social media users were buzzing to hear that the duo, who frequently work together on Monday Night Football, could be teaming up on FIFA.
      One said: “You’d be the biggest signing of the summer window.”
      And another added: “We’re gonna go from Lee Dixon and Derek ‘Fernanch’ Rae to the greatest duo in history.”
      A release date for FIFA 22 has not yet been released, but the video game is always released in either late September or early October.

      Towie star Mark Wright added to FIFA 21 with Crawley left-back officially WORST rated player on the game

      by

      MARK WRIGHT has been added to FIFA 21 with an almost offensive rating of just 47 – the joint-WORST on the entire game.
      The former Towie star, 34, was finally given his big break in professional football after joining Crawley Town in December.

      Mark Wright has been added to FIFA 21 but has the joint-WORST rating on the entire game at 47

      Wright has been given an insultingly low rating on FIFA 21 in the latest squads update

      Wright had been Tottenham youth team captain as a teenager but admitted a summer of drinking and eating left him out of shape – leading to his release.
      Having waited 15 years to be given another chance, Wright has since played twice professionally.
      The left-back made his debut after coming off the bench late in the shock 3-0 FA Cup win over Leeds in January.
      But ecstasy turned to agony in his next run-out, as Wright was hauled off at half-time with Crawley 3-0 down at home to Harrogate Town.

      Wright hasn’t played since having picked up an injury, but would have been buoyed by the news he has been added to FIFA 21 in the latest squads update.
      However, it will prove bittersweet for Wright, with the former reality TV star sharing the honour of being the lowest-rated player on the game.
      At present there are five other players who are all rated 47 out of 99 – from Chinese midfielder Song Yue to 17-year-old Oldham ace Ben Hough.
      The next-lowest-rated Crawley star is Archie Davies (53).

      For context, the average rating for a League Two defender is around 62.
      But the insults don’t end there for Wright, who has been given the lowest possible rating in a number of categories.
      The left-footed ace has been given a ONE-STAR weak foot rating, as well as ‘low’ defensive AND attacking work-rates.
      Wright has been given two-star skill moves, which is something.
      At the age of 34, there’ll be no room for Wright to improve either, with his potential almost certain to be set at 47, too.
      In fact, for Career Mode players, he will likely regress quickly due to his age with his overall rating set to plummet.
      Wright will next have the chance to take to the pitch in real life on Tuesday night as Crawley take on Grimsby Town – the bottom-ranked club in the entire Football League.
