On a yearly basis, EA Sports’ FIFA series updates its selection of player faces, implementing scans and other enhancements in an effort to make them more authentic. This is particularly evident in the Premier League, where the vast majority of players are highly alike their real-life counterparts.FIFA 18 is no different, so we’ve taken the opportunity to analyse the improvements – as well as new players and teams to the league – to come up with a definitive list of the best Premier League player faces in EA Sports’ latest release. You’re welcome.Arsenal: Alexandre LacazetteThe Gunners’ big-money summer signing looks excellent in FIFA 18, and is one of the Premier League’s top strikers in-game.Bournemouth: Ryan FraserLacking detail and authenticity in last year’s model, Scottish winger Fraser finally resembles his real-world self in FIFA 18.Brighton: Glenn MurrayAlthough yet to score upon his return to the Premier League, Murray’s 23-goal season in 2016/17 suggests it’s only a matter of time. Right? Oh.Burnley: Steven DefourBelgium international Defour boasts a highly detailed player model this year, right the way down to his distinctive neck tattoo.Chelsea: Charly MusondaThe 77-rated Musonda was a standout bargain buy in FIFA 17. His rating has slightly dropped this year, despite the facial update.Crystal Palace: Timothy Fosu-MensahCurrently on a season-long loan at Palace, Dutch youngster Fosu-Mensah gets a welcome upgrade in FIFA 18.Everton: Leighton BainesEA Sports’ latest release sees English left-back Baines fitted with a much-needed, up-to-date head scan. Finally, that long hair has gone.Huddersfield: Tom InceWith further faces speculated for releaseamong the Premier League’s ex-Championship teams in the near future, Tom Ince remains Huddersfield’s pick of the bunch for now.Leicester: Islam SlimaniAlgeria international Slimani has seen his rating slightly decrease this year, but his player model has never looked better.Liverpool: Joel MatipAfter sporting a somewhat cookie-cutter model last year, Matip looks fantastic against the backdrop of Anfield in FIFA 18.Manchester City: Leroy SaneYou’re going to want to take advantage of Sane’s 94 pace in FIFA 18. If he ever slows down, you’ll see how good he looks this year.Manchester United: Eric BaillyWe feel a great comfort, as if millions of voices suddenly cried out in relief. It’s because Bailly has a (superb) new face scan this year.Newcastle: Jonjo ShelveyThe Magpies’ return to the Premier League equips them with a mass of real faces in FIFA 18. Shelvey’s remains as authentic as any.Southampton: Manolo GabbiadiniItalian striker Gabbiadini benefits from some luscious locks and a much-improved facial figure in FIFA 18, despite his decreased rating.Stoke: Bruno Martins IndiDutch defender Martins Indi sports an impressive upgraded model in FIFA 18 – and his rating is one better than last year too. Result.Swansea: Renato SanchesSanches’s season-long loan from Bayern Munich sees him join the Premier League’s list of faces for the first time. Lookinggood.Tottenham: Georges-Kevin N’KoudouEA Sports have perfectly captured the face of French winger N’Koudou. Unfortunately, his in-game hair colour is already outdated.Watford: Stefano OkakaHornets striker Okaka missed out on last year’s face scan having joined in late August. In FIFA 18, that situation has been rectified. Hooray! (For him, anyway.)West Brom: Hal Robson-KanuWales international Hal Robson-Kanu finally gets his just deserts in FIFA 18 – an in-game face worthy of the Euro 2016 semi-finalist.West Ham: Arthur MasuakuThe Hammers’ 23-year-old left-back finds himself equipped with another 75 overall rating this year, but his player model has received a huge overhaul.More FIFA 18 content…CELEBRATIONSHow to do the 12 new FIFA 18 celebrations – plus more of our favouritesDREAM TEAM11 best cheap Premier League players for FIFA 18 Ultimate TeamREVEALED!10 excellent FIFA 18 Ultimate Team bargains for under 2,000 coinsBUDGETS!FIFA 18 career mode transfer budgets for every Premier League teamTEAMS10 teams we can’t wait to use in FIFA 18BARGAINSThe 11 best free agents in FIFA 18New features you’d love on FourFourTwo.com
