Footballers may act like they never care about what goes on in the outside world but that couldn't be further from the truth. They actually tend to always be on their phones and on social media and one thing they care deeply about is the popular video game FIFA. Every year, there are multiple videos of players learning their ratings and being upset about them while others are even addicted to the game such as Alphonso Davies and Diogo Jota. It is a matter of pride to them to have a good rating in the game and it means alot. Some players though do not have the luxury of this anymore as they have had to be removed from the game. EA Sports sometimes has its reasons for doing this and they always make sure to tell the whole gaming community exactly why. These are 7 such players who have been removed from the game for very controversial reasons.

Benjamin Mendy

Mason Greenwood

Diego Maradona

Luis Suarez

Marc Overmars
