It's finally upon us. The planet's most loved sporting event of all time is finally here after four years of waiting. But for the gamers amongst us, the edge was taken off of the gruelling wait on May 29, when EA Sports released the completely free World Cup DLC for FIFA 18.
You can, of course, just jump in with a qualified national team of your choice – or create a custom tournament with, say, Italy, Netherlands, USA or Chile, for example, if your team didn't make it to Russia – and play immediately, but there is also a World Cup version of the hugely popular Ultimate Team mode.
Starting Out
t's not all bad though. Depending on your pulls, your better players might give you an idea of which confederation you'll want to make up the majority – or all – of your starting XI.
Which leads us to...
Which confederation should I pick?
The short version? UEFA or CONMEBOL.
There are far more high quality players from Europe and South America going to the World Cup, so it makes sense to choose from the biggest pools.
The best player in the game, Cristiano Ronaldo, could line up next to, say, Robert Lewandowski, with someone like Kevin De Bruyne pulling the strings from midfield.
Or maybe you'd prefer Lionel Messi and Neymar flanking Luis Suarez up top to relive the good old MSN days at Barcelona.
Remember that players will get upgrades if they perform well, too, so having access to a bigger group means more chance of keeping that good chemistry.
Which confederations should I avoid?
The rest, basically.
Mohamed Salah is the best player in the CAF pool, rated at 88, but there's a big drop off in quality below him – and his Liverpool team-mate Sadio Mane is also a right-sided player in this mode. Unless you play with two right-wingers (and don't mind having only one good attacking side) it's probably best to steer clear of the African nations unless you fancy more of a challenge.
For CONCACAF, Keylor Navas, rated 86, is the best player in that particular pool of few options, while the AFC's best player is Heung-Min Son, rated 83.
