In recent weeks, enthusiasts have received a lot of new data about FIFA 21, the latest name from EA’s featured FIFA gaming franchise, EA confirms a number of features, game date, canopy star, next generation details, trailer official and more.
But such is the excitement around the upcoming release of FIFA 21, a number of ”leaks” have been reported about the main points of the new EA edition, some social media accounts claiming to have screenshots of the new game, more than two months in advance. the game’s release.
Leaks and screenshots of a game that is not expected to be released for some time should be taken with a pinch of salt, as things can be replaced very temporarily before the official FIFA 21 release date. But those leaks can give us clues as to what we can expect to see in FIFA 21 at this early stage.
Here is a complete review of FIFA 21 “leaks”.

As you can see from the screenshot below, it turns out that players can decide to make a loose kick instead of playing a merit in FIFA 21.
In the screenshot below, probably on urgent PS4, R2 and L2 will allow you to give the kick loose instead of waiting to see if there is an advantage.
This could be really useful in certain situations, so this could be a great addition to the new game.
In the screenshot of FIFA 21 “leak”, see below, you can see it says “Repeat/ Rewind” in the setting menu.
This seems to suggest that players could be getting a new feature where you will be able to rewind matches and restart play from a specific moment in the game, rather than restarting the whole match.
Due to apparent disruptions with online gaming, this feature is most likely only available in offline modes, such as release and career mode.
You’ll be able to see how the FIFA 21 home screen will look from the screenshot below, with a brand new purple and blue colour scheme.
In the following screenshot below, you can see what the FIFA 21 game menu will look (apparently), with the game mode appearing as VOLTA Football, Kick-Off and settings.
Obviously, as it sounds like a very early edition of FIFA 21, the menu is scarce, however, this can give us a concept of what we can expect when the full game comes out.
In the following filtered screenshot of FIFA 21 below, note that it looks like there will be a major replacement in the way Division Rivals will work in FIFA 21 Ultimate Team.
The screenshot suggests that Division Rivals games that are ranked will be limited to a total of 40 games. You can play more than that, but it may not be your weekly Rival Division ranking.
With regard to FUT Champions in FIFA 21, FIFA Content Creator and FUT Trader @FUTDonk say there are adjustments that enthusiasts can expect.
FUTDonk suggests that the Weekend League Top 100 will become a Top 200 in FIFA 21, so in theory this means that a hundred more of the game’s most productive players each week will get the most productive rewards imaginable.
Interestingly, FUT Donk also suggests that FIFA Points will have a spending limit and that FUT’s objectives have been modified. Good idea?
EA has already shown that former Manchester United and Leeds United striker Eric Cantona will be a FUT icon in FIFA 21, and the corporation confirmed its inclusion on its website.
You can see what Cantona will look like in FIFA 21 in the screenshot below. Splendid as always.
But that’s not all.
The author of the FIFA content and the trader FUT @FUTDonk seem to have shown that the former scorer of Chelsea, Inter Milan and FC Barcelona, Samuel Eto’o, will also be a FUT icon in FIFA 21. This has not yet been shown through EA, but take a look at this space. .
One of the biggest surprises from the recent FIFA 21 ‘leaks’ is the inclusion of real-life referees, with ‘leaked’ screenshots seeming to confirm that Premier League referee Mike Dean could be digitally recreated in FIFA 21.
In the screenshot below, you can obviously see Dean’s call in the most responsive game menu, which turns out to verify its inclusion in the new game.
EA demonstrated that FIFA 21 had an official date in the UK and around the world on October 9, 2020.
But some editions will allow you to play FIFA 21 a little earlier. The fastest you can play FIFA 21 is EA Access (PS4, Xbox One) and Origin Access (PC), with Play First Trials starting October 1, 2020.
If you pre-order FIFA 21 Ultimate Edition or Champions Edition on PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC, you can play from October 6, 2020, and the standard edition will allow enthusiasts to play from the UK and around the world. October 9, 2020.
It has also been shown that FIFA 21 will be playable on the next generation of game consoles, playstation five and Xbox One Series X, but a date has not yet been shown for those consoles.
As such, EA has shown that when you purchase FIFA 21 on Xbox, PSfour or PC, you’ll need to access something called Dual Entitlement, which will allow you to upgrade your copy of FIFA 21 on PlayStation 4 to PlayStation 5, or from Xbox One. Xbox Series X, at no additional cost.
The company has also released a number of key new features for FIFA 21, with major settings in modes such as career mode, Volta Football, Ultimate Team and general improvements in the game.
