The latest edition of EA FC is now just days away from its launch, with the world’s most popular football game simulator due for release later this week for an all new season of gaming.
Previously known as FIFA Football, the game rebranded as EA FC in 2024 and has continued to be the world’s most-loved football themed video game, with gamers pre-ordering the title in their droves ahead of its worldwide release on September 26.
Its been an almost perfect start for Brendan Rodgers’ side in the league, winning four of their first five games and drawing the other. However, their shock failure to qualify for the Champions League this season and disappointing transfer window has left many fans disgruntled at a perceived lack of ambition by the Celtic board.
