Ahh, FIFA. Every year your churn out a game based on our favourite sport and every year we willingly guzzle down your sweet, sweet, slightly-changed-from-the-year-before nectar.
Yes, that's right folks, FIFA's release is edging ever closer, which means we're nearer to finding out player ratings for this year's edition of the game.
Fortunately, there are a selected number of people who got to play the game early this weekend, an event in which a whole bunch of FIFA Ultimate Team packs were opened. The ever-reliable futhead.com captured that data and now we get our first glimpse at what the Reading FC squad will look like for the upcoming game.
It's safe to say it's an improvement on last season's.

Unfortunately, even EA Sports can't help us to solve the keeper conundrum at this moment in time, but it's hard to imagine Bond will get a rating higher than that of Al-Habsi, below.
