James Rodriguez is among the cover stars after the expiry of Lionel Messi's ambassadorial contract. But the Real Madrid playmaker is not the only cover star - he's joined by Anthony Martial, Eden Hazard and Marco Reus for the new edition of the game.
Manchester United fans are delighted to see Martial feature, responding with a mix of pride...

The choice of Hazard was baffling to some after an underwhelming season, even if he was named Player of the Year not too long ago

And we're not sure all the critics were being entirely serious. At least we really hope they weren't

The comments regarding the two foreign-based players were altogether more cutting.

At least some of them were, anyway
