Following his stint on the box art of FC 24 Coins. Kylian Mbappe has taken the game's cover spot for a second year running, with EA noting over on Twitter that it's honored to have him back. The 22-year-old French star is one of soccer's biggest current names, playing as a forward for Paris Saint-Germain and the French national team.



As for the game itself, there's some other news, with EA announcing that the official FC 24 reveal trailer is slated to launch on July 11. Although it doesn't confirm any details about what it will feature, it notes that the trailer will be "game-changing," which is definitely a compelling reason to tune in. It'll be interesting to see whether this year's follow-up will be able to provide long-time players a truly next-generation FIFA experience, with reviews of FIFA 22 criticizing its lack of innovation over prior entries in the series.



It seems EA has picked the perfect time to reveal the latest FIFA game to soccer fans, with the trailer landing alongside the finals of the long-running UEFA European Football Championship. The competition has come with plenty of dramatic matches and moments already, with the England National Team managing to make their way to the Euro championship final for the first time in their career. They'll face Italy in a high-stakes match to take home the trophy, which will seemingly be preempted by the first look at FC 24.



It isn't the only sports title EA is currently ramping up its marketing for, with Madden NFL 22 also recently revealing its cover athletes and some new gameplay. The box art sports both Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady and Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes, while the game has confirmed it'll make several changes following criticisms from fans, specifically in regards to its Franchise Mode. The title will launch on August 12. while FC 24 currently has no release date but seems primed to hit PC and consoles this Fall.



Fans are likely to see both games at EA Play's More EA SPORTS! stream, which will air on July 20. The event promises a fresh look at the publisher's biggest upcoming sports titles, suggesting both FIFA and Madden will crop up.



When it comes to the Ultimate Team mode in FIFA 22. building a team out of the French league players proves to be a significant challenge, mainly because most of the top-tier cards are Paris Saint-Germain footballers, who belong to some of the costliest FC 24 Ultimate Team cards on the market.



Lille may have won the Ligue 1 title this season, but PSG remains the dominant force in French football, as they're by far the richest club in the league and can afford players that are simply out of reach for other clubs in the country. FIFA fans who are willing to take up the challenge of forming a Ligue 1 Ultimate Team will have to deal with the fact that, sooner or later, they'll need to incorporate Paris Saint-Germain stars into their lineup. Of course, that doesn't mean that there aren't any solid cards in other French teams.



Best Choice: Keylor Navas. After having won three Champions League titles with La Liga giants Real Madrid, Keylor Navas came to Paris in search of a new challenge (and probably a pay raise, too). Generally regarded as one of the best goalkeepers in the world, the Costa Rican star is one of the safest bets between the posts, not only in a Ligue 1 team but in all of FIFA 22 game modes.



Budget Alternative: Steve Mandanda. At 36 years of age, Mandanda remains a top goalkeeper, playing for Olympique Marseille, one of France's biggest clubs. His 84 reflexes rating and positioning valued at 81 will ensure that players who buy him are well-protected at the back.



Best Choice: Youcef Atal. His overall rating may seem low at 79. but after a deeper dive into his individual statistics, players should have no doubt about Atal's quality as a right back. With 91 pace and dribbling skills rated at 81. he's Ligue 1's most agile player in his position, a crucial quality for a modern-day wide defender.



Budget Alternative: Leo Dubois. Lyon's 3rd captain might not be the most skilled cheap Fut 24 Coins player in the league, but he's very versatile, with most of his key abilities (aside from shooting) ranging well above the 70-point mark. His price on the open market fluctuates between 700 and 950 coins, so he's an absolute steal, regardless of whether one wants to use him as a substitute, or a first-team member.
