FIFA 16 News Update: EA Sports To Release FIFA 16 Team Of The Year

EA Sports will be releasing the FIFA 16 Ultimate Team of the Year on January 11 during the FIFA Ballon d'Or Gala in Zurich.

Although the obvious winner of the Ballon d'Or has already being leaked, EA will let us know who the best defenders, forwards, midfielders and goalkeeper in the world was last year.

EA will be releasing special blue In-Form Player cards in FIFA Ultimate Team for all the players listed in the FUT Team of the Year.

This is the most excited time of the year to play FIFA because some of the top rated players will see their stats peaked at the highest possible. So we could see some obvious names like Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo stats going up to 97 or 98 which is insane.

EA will be releasing Goalkeepers and Defenders on January 11 with midfielders and forwards will be releasing during the week.

FIFA 16 was the best-selling game on Amazon last year

FIFA 16 was the best-selling game on Amazon last year, and the 10th best-selling item across its entire product line-up, the retailer has revealed.

While sales figures for the game have not been revealed, EA's latest football game managed to outsell Call of Duty: Black Ops 3, which landed at No.2 in Amazon's best-selling video games of 2015, and Fallout 4 at No.3.

The retailer's report also suggests that Grand Theft Auto V was the fourth best-selling game of the year, with FIFA 15 in at No.5. Sales data is said to have been recorded between January 1, 2015-December 13, 2015.

The best-selling game in the run-up to Christmas, however, (which Amazon says is based on unit sales between November 1-December 13) was Fallout 4, ahead of Black Ops 3 at No.2 and Star Wars Battlefront at No.3.

It isn't yet known which game came out on top in the UK across all retailers.

Black Ops 3, meanwhile, continues to dominate the top of the weekly UK charts, holding on to the top spot for four weeks in a row to become the first No.1 of 2016.
