FIFA 21: 10 Latest Rumours You Need To Know

2. VAR?

Fittingly, the chances of this entry coming true are under review.

EA had previously hinted that VAR would be too challenging to implement in FIFA and might take away from speed from the game. At the same time, the developers do like the thought of making their footy title as authentic as possible, and they'd have to stick video assistant refs in for that to be the case.

They might also have to fix all the wacky bugs that plague games, or the scripted nature of those last-minute goals, but whatever - that's another complaint entirely. VAR has become such a huge talking point in the real-world game, and it does seem a bit strange that it's not in digital recreations of the sport.

Will FIFA 21 change that for good? It could be the first time that VAR makes an appearance in one of EA's titles, and it could alter the way the series works from here on out. Let's just hope it doesn't take the remote refs five minutes to decide whether or not one of Harry Kane's nose hairs was offside.
