With the 2018/19 club season officially over, it’s that time of the year where the latest edition of EA Sports’ FIFA starts its road to becoming redundant. It’s now that eyes start to drift towards the next installment of EA’s legendary football franchise, as gamers begin to dream of what stunning summer signings their club will make by the time FIFA 20 rolls around.

Barcelona fans are already drooling at adding Antoine Griezmann to an unstoppable FIFA frontline that includes Messi, Suarez, Dembele, and Coutinho, while Man Utd fans are sobbing into their cereal at having a midfield of McTominay, Fred, and Longstaff.

Regardless of who you support, though, all eyes are on the September 27th release date that’s been set for FIFA 20. And what will many gamers do as soon as they load up the new FIFA? They’ll head straight to the Ultimate Team mode and begin to amass a squad capable of dominating the online ranks of FUT.

Of course, Ultimate Team is far from a flawless part of FIFA - for years, there have been the same old problems with FUT – yet some of these issues seem very much fixable should EA Sports actually want to improve Ultimate Team.

With that in mind, these suggestions would make FIFA Ultimate Team are far, far more enjoyable and smoother gaming experience for all involved.

10. Kit Customisation

By its very fundamentals, FIFA Ultimate Team is about creating a squad that is complete and utterly unique to each gamer and their particular style. From formations, to players, to managers, to kits, to the individual style of play incorporated by each gamer – FUT is all about customisation.

Now, while gamers are able to apply one of the various in-game kits as their home or away strip, to give an even more all-encompassing sense of customisation, a natural step would be for players to be able to design their own personal kits.

To be blunt, some of the special kits designed by various music arts for recent Ultimate Team offerings have been absolutely and utterly horrendous. Seriously, just take a look at some of the kits shown in the accompanying image? If that’s the bar of acceptability, surely gamers should be allowed complete control to conjure up their own personal, totally unique kit in order to add one further sense of individuality to FUT.

Maybe then, we'll finally put a stop to opponents turning up in that garish tuxedo kit. You know who you are!
