FIFA 19: 6 Rumours You Need To Know About
5. The Chinese Super League Could Be Added
FIFPlay, another website dedicated to EA's franchise, recently ran a poll to see which leagues players want added to FIFA 19's lineup. The results may shock you.
The Czech First League was third with 68,336 votes. Above that, the UAE Pro-League placed second with 69,774 and the Chinese Super League took home the crown with 75,088 votes. Other divisions of note in the top 10 included India’s I-League, the Women’s Bundesliga and Iran’s Persian Gulf Pro League.
It might be a bit of a stretch, but FIFPlay suggest every single playable league in FIFA should have a lower division attached to it too. The thrill of promotion and relegation battles keeps thing fresh, and it is pretty dull to win the Eredivisie every year against the same teams (for example) without any changes.
The CSL has been a big-money league for a few years now. Though it doesn't have the same high profile of the Premier League, La Liga or Bundesliga, it does have merit. Let's hope EA are paying attention; if they want to make FIFA 19 is the most comprehensive football experience on the market, they have to include everything they can.
Or, they could just let Konami gobble up the rights to China's top league instead.
