General
FIFA 21 review
Kicking things off is our full FIFA 21 review which covers every mode in the game, what works and what doesn't. The TL;DR is that while it improves upon last year's instalment, there's still work to be done for the series going forward, especially when it comes to Ultimate Team. Career Mode, on the other hand, has seen some solid additions.

FIFA 21 celebrations
Using the right FIFA 21 celebrations is absolutely key to your success in FIFA 21, especially when playing online. Get inside the head of your opponent by doing a Maupay and crying in front of the camera or throw up the peace sign to show you don't have any ill will. Alternatively, you can just do the dead fish on the floor. No dabbing anymore though, as it has been removed.
