FIFA 23 Ultimate Team: 13 scary cards, including Liverpool & Man Utd stars

We’re now around a week away from the release of EA Sports’ FIFA 23.

The latest edition of the famous franchise will be available to play on September 27th and to whet the appetite of gamers, the player ratings have been officially released.

As luck would have it, you could link Hernandez with Kounde – and what a defence you’d have! The Barcelona man isn’t the strongest centre-back, but makes up for
