FIFA 19: 10 Improvements We Want To See In Career Mode

6. One Season Wonders

Occasionally (very occasionally), players will hear Martin Tyler discuss with glee with fact Watford sit second in the table behind one of the big hitters in January. "How have they managed this?", he'll say, before Alan Smith ponders how long they can keep it all going.

Not long enough would be the answer.

FIFA 18 didn't really do surprise cup wins or league shocks. That's a shame when considering how monumental Leicester City's achievement in season 2015/2016 was. By becoming Premier League champs and entering the Champions League for the first time, The Foxes made English football history and topped Blackburn's triumph in the 90s.

Those are the kind of freak stories FIFA's Career Mode should go the whole way with, but only from time-to-time. Realism is key to EA's success here, and fairytale wins against all the odds would lose impact if they happened regularly.

Not happening at all is arguably worse.
