Hope this is okay in the main forum for a bit!

EA are running a vote for who shall appear on the front of FIFA 16.

Putting aside whatever you think about video games or FIFA it would be ace for him to be on the front of the biggest sports game around.

By the way: Why is it every year Messi? I know he is arguably the best player, but it's not like there aren't other guys who would be deserving (Neuer? Pirlo?) . No other sports game has always the same guy on the cover.
Last resort if you need tickets in Switzerland.

Coutinho, fair enough.

But if my lad's going to buy this - and he will - I don't want to be looking at Hendo's mug for months on end.

Although not as bad as when Rooney seemed to be on the title screen every other year.

Tiger Woods on the cover of the PGA Tour game 16 years in a row...

The FIFA cover formula is pretty clear. They want a proper global star to put on the cover worldwide and then for certain countries that are big enough markets for them to bother they add a domestic star (in the UK it's been Hazard, Bale and Oxlade Chamberlain/Joe Hart the last 3 versions). Other sports games (NFL, basketball, ect) are mostly US domestic affairs so they have a different US domestic star ever year and don't need the global star to link it all together.

Fuck that.Another thing Rodgers should be sacked for.Nominating Jordan henderson as our face of the fifa cover.Can't blame the "committee" for this one lads.
That right peg hits it and you see the future arc of the ball and time goes al gluey like a Dali painting, and for a second there's a 20yr old StevenGerrard and your young self cheering him on through the prism. His big smile fades in an the net is shivering and J.Hart's trying not to look grateful for the privilege of being that close to greatness

Who is the other 'nominee'.

Henderson, Courtois, Kane and who else?

If it's between those 3 in a popularity contest I can only see Hendo winning it.

I voted for Hendo as having one of our players on the cover is a massive commercial opportunity and I like to do my bit for the club. Hopefully they'll let him be photographed with a box of Dunkin Donuts in one hand and a large Subway coke in the other.

Can't see why anyone here would be against this. Any exposure is good exposure, and having the LFC captain on the cover of the biggest sports game in the world would be fantastic, not to mention it would be a tremendous show of support for Hendo.
