Except not quite as good from FIFA 23 from DonnaStella's blog

 The so-called wingbacks are Sadio Mane and Raheem Sterling  FIFA 23 Coins ndash; I told you it was attacking ndash; and up top wersquo;ve got a combination of Darwin Nunez and Kenny Dalglish, supported by Xherdan Shaqiri new Futties card as a 10. Ryan Kent will sub in for the traitorous Sterling when I unlock him.


It a good team, with 30 out of 33 chemistry and lots of fun to play. I rely on Van Dijk more than Irsquo;d like, and while that third present slot is still up for grabs, Gomez Futties card is too expensive for me. Irsquo;d take Trent Alexander-Arnold in a four-at-the back, but we have no past left backs in the game unless I want to use Alberto Moreno 77-rated common gold card. Which I donrsquo;t.


All this is a) an excuse to show off, and b) to say my Liverpool past and present defense is due an upgrade. We used to have Jamie Carragher back when they were called Legends not Icons. Fowler too, but wersquo;re flush for attackers so we donrsquo;t need God help any more. An upgrade that wersquo;re getting in EA Sports FC 23. John Arne Riise is coming to Ultimate Team as a Hero card, and nobody has ever been more befitting the honour.


Heroes are like Icons, except not quite as good. The likes of Iniesta, Xavi, Ronaldinho, and Ronaldo (R9) are Icons. Gerrard, Dalglish, Rush, Barnes. Legends. Heroes never quite achieved that pinnacle of winning trophies and dominating games, but are cult heroes in their own right. Hence the name. Peter Crouch is a Hero, likely more for his robot celebration and post-football career as a funny man than his footballing talent. Saeed Al-Owairan for that goal in the 1994 World Cup. Kuyt, Kewell, you get the idea.


Riise fits this bill perfectly. The original Norwegian to storm the Premier League, his marauding runs from left back have gone down in Liverpool history. But those runs are nothing compared to his free kicks, hit with so much power that cameras couldnrsquo;t keep up and legs that tried to block them FUT 23 buy Coins  would shatter and ankles would dislocate. That happened to the same poor guy.
