FIFA 22 is coming towards the end of its cycle, with Career Mode in a particularly perilous place.
That being said, the real-world perils of the transfer market are starting to be reflected in FIFA 22, with the latest squad update set to scupper the transfer plans of many budding managers.
Check below for the latest details on FIFA 22's newest squad update
Mbappe EXTENDS
One of the biggest sagas in football over the last 12 months has come to an end, with Kylian Mbappe opting to stay in Paris and rejecting Real Madrid.
Whilst this may come as a surprise to plenty of football fans, it will also come as a dagger to the heart of FIFA 22 players.
One of the main perks of FIFA 22 Career Mode was dicing with the possibility of Kylian Mbappe becoming a free agent after the first season.
Some got lucky and secured the French superstar for absolutely nothing, but that will no longer be a possibility in the first season of this year's game.
The latest squad update has seen Mbappe's contract extended to 2025, meaning you'll have to wait another 3 seasons in order to try your luck.
There is some good news, with Mbappe being way over 23 by the time 2025 comes around, you will be able to approach him on a pre-contract agreement.
Mbappe set for MAJOR boost
One thing's for sure, Mbappe is about to be overpowered once more in FIFA 23.
His base FIFA 22 91 OVR card in Ultimate Team is already everyone's worst nightmare, and we think he could be due another boost in next year's game.
Mbappe's decision to stay at PSG may raise some eyebrows, but there's no doubt that he could become a legend in his home country.
Given the hype surrounding the 23-year-old, Mbappe could be turning out with a huge base rating next year.
His card may already be insane - with his TOTY card also proving impossible to stop - but we've no doubt that Mbappe could once again see a boost to match his current stardom.
