5 major players feat. Chelsea, Liverpool stars who will not feature for their actual teams in FIFA 18
FIFA 18 is all set to make a triumphant bow to the minds and hearts of gamers across the world later this month with the release date set for 29th September 2017.
EA Sports appear to be going all out in order to promote the game and in the process of doing so, boost sales and make the game popular among the masses. While there is plenty to look forward to this year with the game, there are also some concerns. Season 2 of Alex Hunter's career in "The Journey" has been heavily invested in and EA will hope that last year's story mode will have enough pull to get people to buy the game this time around to play as Hunter as he moves to another club in this edition.
But the bigger problem at hand comes from a more realistic situation. Sportskeeda reported earlier today that FIFA 18 will be unable to show players who moved to different clubs post 27th August in their first release of the game. This is due to the fact that the game has already been initiated and no more additions can be made. This is a big blow as there were several big moves that took place on or relatively before deadline day. Here are 5 major names who will miss out on representing their new teams in FIFA 18:
#5 Fernando Llorente (Tottenham Hotspur)
One of the deals of the day on deadline day featured Swansea striker Fernando Llorente all set to make the move from Wales to London. It was expected that he would be reunited with former Juventus manager Antonio Conte at Chelsea but Tottenham surprisingly swooped in and secured the services of the Spaniard at the very end.
The temptation of regular playing time at Spurs is likely the reason why Llorente decided to move to North London but this seemingly terrific piece of business done by Mauricio Poccetino may not be reflected in FIFA 18. As mentioned, deadline day transfers would not be updated in time for the release of FIFA 18 so expect to play with this 32-year-old in Swansea when the game releases.
