Team of the Season is well underway, with mouthwatering squads from the Premier League, La Liga, Bundesliga, and the fan-voted “Community” team already added to the star-studded Ultimate Team player roster.
Now FIFA 21 players have their eyes set on Ligue 1’s year-end event.
When it comes to top-class players, the French top league is hardly lacking in talent, with the likes of Mbappe, Neymar, Ben Yedder, and Di Maria all impressing in 2020/21.
