Some were surprised when Barcelona decided to take a punt on Traore last season, but it just goes to show how highly-regarded he still is in world football. Sadly, though, the loan deal didn't quite work out for FC 25 Coins either party, meaning that Traore is now back at Wolves for the coming season.

Following yet another sterling campaign that saw the 23-year-old forward become the highest-paid football player in the world, it should come as little surprise to learn that Kylian Mbappe is the fastest player in FC 25. It's the third year in a row that he's held the title, and, if current form is anything to go by, it probably won't be the last.

That Mbappe has been the cover star for all three years in which he's been crowned the fastest player in FC may raise a few eyebrows here and there, but anybody who's actually seen him play will know just how rapid he really is. He knows how to use his pace too, which isn't the case with some of the game's other pacey players.

With each passing FC title there are a handful of revisions to make the formula more streamlines and mass appealing. The series is far from what it was just ten years ago, and FC 25 will look to improve upon its predecessor once again with a new Ted Lasso crossover featuring AFC Richmond. The most controversial thing about the annual releases always seems to be player ratings, which can be underrated or overrated in comparison to their real-world performance.

Erling Haaland, Lisandro Martinez, Alexia Putellas, and Kylian Mbappe are some of the best players in the world at their respective positions, and while their rating can spark fury, it's harder still to give a score to players who are entirely fictional. Ted Lasso has been one of the biggest surprises in television these past few years, highlighting one unlikely coach's journey to achieving success in the English top flight of football/soccer.

It's far from a workplace comedy, though, as complex themes rise to the surface and break through the heart-warming facade to provide a show that is far deeper than initially meets the eye. AFC Richmond, the team Lasso coaches is included in the next buy Fut Coins project, and while the ratings of each of its players aren't going to rival the best figures in the game, they're not quite indicative of the show's personalities.
