EA Sports has released a new batch of FIFA 19 Ultimate Team cards that are themed around the Champions League and Europa League.

The 'Team of the Group Stage' cards include the best players from both of UEFA's competitions so far, with some big names featuring in the Champions League side.

Barcelona's Lionel Messi has received a 95-rated RW card and Bayern Munich's Robert Lewandowski has a 92-rated ST card, while Manchester United's David de Gea has a 92 rating.

One of the standout additions is Neymar, who has received a 94 rating and a position change to CAM. That's right, it means that FIFA 19 players who have the Ultimate Team coins -- and it's going to take a lot to buy one -- can play the Paris Saint-Germain star as a striker.

The 26-year-old Brazilian international's FIFA 19 cards have all been as a left winger (or left forward) until now.
