The Manchester City midfielder had the rare honour of his personal FUT squad being included in the game as a featured Squad Battle. Gundogan has an incredible team which features himself as well as six of the Champions League versions of his Manchester City team-mates: Ederson, Kyler Walker, Nicolas Otamendi, Benjamin Mendy, Kevin de Bruyne and Sergio Aguero.

Of course, the Germany international has included his own 99-rated card which includes 99 dribbling, 98 shooting and 99 passing and interestingly, has paired himself with Paul Pogba - the star man of City's bitter rivals Manchester United.

Completing his impressive team is the fearsome Brazilian Icon duo of Prime Pele and Ronaldo. Having those two as well as 90-rated Aguero means he'll never struggle for goals.
