Pick Brighton & Hove Albion in FIFA 17 and be prepared to slog it out at Molton Road every other game. Although the stadium may be a decent option for lower-league teams, Brighton will play their matches in the Premier League next season. For that very reason, the Falmer Stadium must be included in FIFA 18.

Opened in the summer of 2011, Brighton's current home can hold just over 30,000. That's almost 3 times as many as Bournemouth's Dean Court/Vitality Stadium, and Eddie Howe's current haunt was included in last year's game. Therefore, the Falmer has to be part of the experience in FIFA 18. That precious Premier League licensing demands it.

Huddersfield's John Smith's Stadium could easily have secured this entry too, because The Terriers will play top flight football themselves next season. Brighton finished 2nd in the Championship just behind Newcastle though, so it's essential that they take priority.
