The trouble with the police instead of performance on the pitch. We show you soccer players that might soon be out of FIFA Ultimate Team. After Mason Greenwood and Marc Overmars were officially removed, Santi Mina might follow.
Every year there are players who are in the game at the start of FIFA and then are removed during the – Season . Here we show you players who are already out in FIFA 22 – and those who might be removed soon.
Already before release this year it hit Benjamin Mendy. The Manchester City left-back is rightly no longer in FIFA Ultimate Team, in January 2022 he had to defend himself against rape allegations in four cases. He was released on bail. However, the allegations still stand and the trial is continuing. Let’s see what happens to him in FIFA….
Santi Mina sentenced to four years in prison
Rumble, there go the bars! Celta Vigo’s Santi Mina was sentenced to four years in prison in Spain. The striker is accused of sexual abuse towards a woman from 2017. The prosecution demanded eight years imprisonment, half of this demand has now been granted. Mina allegedly raped a woman in a caravan, the Spaniard can still appeal. At the time, Santi Mina was still under contract with Valencia FC. In FIFA he is irrelevant anyway, with his 77 card we can and want to do nothing anyway! EA has to remove Santi Mina from FIFA 22 as soon as possible, so FC Prison got their player. Celta Vigo has already removed his striker from the squad, so that’s it with his career – completely right, we think. On Futbin Mina already has more than 600 dislikes hehehe.
Quincy Promes on trial – charged with murder and drug trafficking
The winger Quincy Promes has to stand trial in his home country Netherlands for drug trafficking and murder. The 30-year-old was arrested back in December 2020. Promes spent two nights in jail after his arrest and has denied all charges.
He is accused of stabbing his own cousin to death. In a telephone conversation, he allegedly confessed to the crime. If the accusations turn out to be true, he will undoubtedly have to be removed from FIFA Ultimate Team.
After EA wants to remove Russian teams, Promes might not be found in FUT soon anyway. He is under contract with Spartak Moscow.
Mason Greenwood arrested – EA removes him from FIFA 22
Mason Greenwood is suspected of physically and sexually abusing his (former) girlfriend. After his club Manchester United suspended him and supplier Nike ended their cooperation with the 20-year-old, EA Sports now reacts and removes Greenwood from FIFA 22.
So far, this only affects the offline modes (i.e. kick-off and career) – in FUT you can still trade with him. EA should react as soon as possible. The price was fixed after some players traded immorally.
If the accusations are confirmed, it is also possible that he will be completely removed from Ultimate Team. Greenwood cards that are already in circulation will stay with the players, he would be removed completely in FIFA 23.
Sexism scandal at Ajax: FUT icon Marc Overmars dismissed – He is also deleted from FIFA 22
He was an outstanding footballer, but as we all know, that doesn’t protect you from stupidity. The (now) former Ajax Amsterdam director of football resigned after it was revealed that he “sent a series of inappropriate messages to several female colleagues over an extended period of time.” Ajax made the announcement in a press release.
Even if he himself arrives with phrases like “I’m ashamed” or “I didn’t realize I had crossed a line” (prime example of toxic masculinity), it is right and important of the club to act this way.
EA has reacted in the meantime and removed Overmas from FIFA 22.
Allegations of abuse against Ilombe Mboyo – Gent no longer lets him play
In the night from January 15 to 16, Ilombe Mboyo allegedly abused a woman – he was already arrested because of the suspicion and has not been in the squad of KAA Gent since then. What happens to the Belgian in real life will probably also determine what happens to him in Ultimate Team.
This is not the first time that Ilombe Mboyo has attracted negative attention… in 2004 he was involved in a gang rape of a 14 year old girl.
WTF just. Shame he was even allowed to step foot on the turf after that incident. Sad how little such incidents matter when someone can kick a little against the ball. Oh you beautiful soccer, where have you gone?
Kurt Zouma abuses his cats – RSPCA takes them away from him
Yes, you read that right. In a video, the 27-year-old Frenchman from West Ham United is seen kicking his cats. He also knocks a cat out of his child’s hand – and the animal’s face.
Many footballers are just out-of-touch millionaires who think they can do anything. The best part is simply Zouma’s ridiculous attempt to apologize: “I apologize to everyone who is shocked by the video. I can assure you that the cats are in perfect health. They are loved and cared for by our family and this was an isolated incident.”
An isolated incident. Exactly. If you only drop your cat once from your hand to kick it away with your foot, then yes, it fits. Our mistake.
In the meantime, the RSPCA (Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals) in England has reacted and taken the animals away from him.
Karim Benzema receives suspended sentence – Will he be removed from Ultimate Team?
Benzema’s case reached its climax. Because Real Madrid’s superstar was on trial for trying to blackmail his former teammate Mathieu Valbuena with a sex video in 2015.
Now a verdict has been announced: Benzema receives a one-year suspended sentence. On top of that, he has to pay a fine of 75,000 euros.
Simply unbelievable that such a multimillionaire got involved in such a sordid story. Actually also unbelievable that one celebrates the goal scorer sportily so, but he is such a failure beside the place.
But well… If it were up to that, we probably wouldn’t have paid any attention to Cristiano Ronaldo for a long time.
Benzema doesn’t really need to go to jail, though. The sum is a small matter for him, and the imprisonment will be appealed.
Lucas Hernandez escapes jail – Will he still fly out of FUT?
Bayern star Lucas Hernandez does not have to go to jail after all. Among other things, for disobeying a contact ban with his current wife, he had to answer to a court.
Instead, he must pay 96,000 euros. But the story is unbelievably curious. If EA wants to maintain a clean-cut image, he could be removed before the end of the current – Season .
Sigurdsson suspended at Everton – How long in Ultimate Team?
The story around the former Bundesliga player (TSG Hoffenheim) is terrible. The 31-year-old is suspected of child abuse and was logically suspended by Everton FC.
Why Mendy is out, and Sigurdsson still in, is a mystery to us. However, the central attacking midfielder could also soon be unavailable in FUT.
Bissouma in custody – Does EA remove him soon?
Brighton & Hove Albion’s Yves Bissouma was led out of a nightclub in handcuffs by police in October. He was alleged to have sexually assaulted a woman. Most recently, his bail was extended by five weeks.
EA is not yet drawing any conclusions and is keeping the central defensive midfielder in the game. However, depending on how the case develops, he could be removed from the game.
What is the story with FC Prison in FIFA 22?
The community (including on Reddit) has since joked that so many pros are on trial that it’s almost enough to make an entire eleven.
Of course, the accusations against the stars are not exactly funny – however, the pity for the blasé multimillionaires (and that’s still putting it nicely) is also limited. So FC Prison contains players who are either already out of Ultimate Team, or could be out soon.
Either way: EA should react and watch the incidents and court cases closely. Because among them are cases that are not funny at all and if the accusations are confirmed, these players no longer belong in a sports game (which we all play mainly for the fun of it).
FIFA 22 – FUTs
What could be cooler than just relaxed gaming and doing some sofa sports on the side? In FIFA 22, the player is on the move fast, but without getting sore muscles. With the Ultimate Team Event cards, the collecting instinct is now also satisfied. However, the FUT Heroes keep creeping into my mind, so here are the best Ultimate Team Event cards that are definitely worth adding to your collection.
Heroes cards selected by EA for top qualities
Admittedly, the FUT heroes will cost quite a bit of coin, but it turns out that EA has once again brought some top-class players into the game when it comes to selection. As a collector and hunter, it’s an added attraction for FIFA gamers to now include their own favorite heroes in the portfolio and benefit from their individual skills. Both in the game and in team building, the FUTs will revolutionize the game once again.
EA SPORTS FC: FIFA GAME SERIES TO BE CONTINUED UNDER NEW NAME
Of course, the soccer simulation game series will not be discontinued completely. After FIFA 23, EA will relaunch the game under the name EA Sports FC and market it independently. Old FIFA hares should now become quite an ear, after all, the EA Sports Football Club used to be a part of the actual game for years. A lot of playing was rewarded, points could be collected and items, boosts or balls for the individual game modes could be unlocked.
In this context, there could also be a complete revolution of the classic game. There is a heated discussion in the FIFA community about whether the game, which is expected to be released in the fall of 2023, will be free-to-play. This option is said to be on the table for the game makers from EA, because: It seems that EA earns most of its money with the purchases of FIFA Points in the game mode Ultimate Team and not with the sale of the game itself.
