You're probably not the only one that has been frustrated with FIFA 19 in some capacity. After all, Jesse Lingard and Wilfried Zaha were both annoyed with EA Sports.

The Manchester United star, who has his own 'JLingz' celebration in the title, has not been happy with his pace or the haircut that the developer has added to his in-game model.

In fact, the 25-year-old England international tweeted at EA for it, which even caught the Crystal Palace star's attention and he also put in the same request to the developer.




Now, the FIFA 19 developer has finally delivered for both players. To be honest, it has done a cracking job with each of their respective in-game character models.

Oh, and both Lingard and Zaha have responded to the news on Twitter and, unsurprisingly, are very happy with how they've turned out.




Not bad, right?

Both players are not the only ones to receive a much-needed facelift. EA Sports has dropped a new title update that brings 50 new in-game faces.

According to the developer's patch notes, 48 of them are for players, which includes the likes of Gareth Bale, Diego Costa, Son Heung-min, Presnel Kimpembe, Jean Michaël Seri and Rúben Neves.

The two managers are Fulham's Slaviša Jokanović and Cardiff City's Neil Warnock.

The patch is now live for PC, though an actual date for the Xbox One and PlayStation 4 versions will be announced in "the near future."

FIFA 19 is now available on PS4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, PC, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360.

Is FIFA 19 the best entry in the series?

Let us know in the comments.
