EA SPORTS have already penned exclusive agreements with several of the world’s top domestic leagues, including the Bundesliga, Premier League, and most recently La Liga as well.

These deals ensure that all of the high-profile footballers in the division, or regular starters for each club, will look as accurate as possible. EA like to call these face scans ‘Starheads’ and there’s going to be a load of new ones in the next title.

FIFA 21 Star Heads update brings new face scans

Kylian Mbappe in FIFA 21EA SPORTS
Kylian Mbappe, the game’s worldwide cover star, has been given a new game face for FIFA 21.

Just like any other season, the bulk of Star Heads to be introduced will come from newly promoted sides. In England, for example, that includes the entire teams of West Brom and Leeds United, as well as the winner of the Playoffs.

In other cases, like Marseille, face scans have been confirmed as part of several social media posts from players.

More will be unveiled closer to the time of release, especially when people get ahold of EA Access and the game beta. That won’t stop us from putting a list together of likely candidates, though.
