A Character From 'The Journey' Mode Is In FIFA 18 Ultimate Team

Here at SPORTbible, we're suckers for a good FIFA easter egg and we've come across another one.

EA love giving us a few surprises every year and one which they've produced on FIFA 18 is, that a character in 'The Journey' mode which sees us play out Alex Hunter's career, is also available on the Ultimate Team transfer market.

WATCH: The Best XI from FIFA games through the years:

At the very start of the mode this year, Hunter and his teammate Danny Williams head to Rio and play a Futsal game against three local lads, who happen to be very handy with the ball at their feet.

If you recall, there's two youngsters as well as an older lad, who is called 'Renan' in the mode.

However, as spotted by YouTube DTT, FIFA's very own detective, he's also a head coach called 'S.Goncalves' on Ultimate Team and can be added to your ranks.

Search for bronze head coaches on the transfer market and up the minimum price to 1,200 coins and you will find the man himself, smiling and loving life.

You won't be able to play with him or anything but it is pretty surreal to have him in the game twice.

But, if you've read one of our previous FIFA easter egg articles, you'll know that they have a habit of duplicating somebody.

That's because, Manchester City midfielder Aleix Garcia is in FIFA 18 but not only as a player.

The Villarreal youth product, who made nine appearances for Pep Guardiola's side last season and scored in a win over Swansea in the League Cup, is currently on loan at Girona and is in their squad on the game.

A 70-rated central midfielder, he has a potential rating of 82 on the game - but that's not where his involvement ends.

That's because the 20-year old is in fact one of the fans in the crowd during games. Until the other day where I was destroying my mates in our little tournament (although Pilk deserves praise for our 12-goal thriller), I hadn't noticed the Spaniard.

But there he was, in his dark beige polo short, as the camera pans to him and the rest of the fans.

Have you uncovered any other hidden gems on FIFA?
