The defender, who is awaiting trial until January 2023, has already been removed from EA’s FIFA 23 where possible – but online items such as FUT cards have been more difficult to take out.

“As Benjamin Mendy has been removed from the active rosters of both Manchester City and the French National team, in FIFA 23 he has also been removed from respective rosters and suspended from appearing in FIFA Ultimate Team (FUT) packs and Ultimate Draft while he is awaiting trial,” explained EA yesterday.

Unfortunately, EA also confirmed that Mendy was still in some FIFA Ultimate Team packs before the changes were made. FIFA 23 has a staggered release thanks to the fact you can play the full game via a ten-hour EA Play trial, but also if you buy a certain version of the game, you can get early access that way, too. On top of that, while EA Play ten hour trial often gets the game a high player count than normal, due to EA Play being part of Xbox Game Pass buy FUT 23 coins, it higher than ever.
