WATCH: FIFA 18 Career Mode Looks Incredible In Leaked Footage

Not only is the new Premier League season a day away from kicking off, but we're only a month away from the release of FIFA 18 and if recently leaked footage is anything to go by, we could be set for the greatest game in the franchise's history.

Now, obviously, it's always going to be hard to top FIFA '96 and '97, what with both those editions gifting the world the beauty of indoor games, but FIFA 18's career mode has been significantly beefed up to make the feature a much more all encompassing experience.

The latest installment in EA Sports' greatest gift to the world will include a transfer deal hub which, for the first time, will involve your player actively sitting down to discuss terms of contracts and offers, including being able to add release clauses and include sell-on fees.

FIFA 18 drops on 29th September. I already can't wait to demand £500,000-a-week and my own statue in my first round of contract negotiations.
