Classic XI Has Returned To FIFA 20 Kick Off Mode

The beloved Classic XI have returned toFIFA 20 kick-off mode under a new name.

Now known as 'Soccer Aid', you can find the legendary side in the rest of the world section when it comes to selecting your team before games.

A whole host of players were playable as 'Icons' in FIFA Ultimate Team but having the likes of Ronaldinho, Zinedine Zidane,Paolo Maldini, Pele and Diego Maradona in your ranks without spending any money on FIFA points is a great thing.

The 93-rated quad on the whole is just a silly collection of all-time greats. Peter Schmeichel manning the sticks, with an all-Italian backline of Maldini, Francesco Baresi and Fabio Cannavaro.

Ruud Gullit sits deep and allows Zinedine Zidane and Lothar Matthaus to strut their stuff a bit further forward, alongside the mercurial talents of Ronaldinho and Luis Figo.

Pele and Maradona as your strikeforce is just plain rude but the options from the bench are also ridiculous. Alessandro Del Piero, Michael Owen, Kenny Dalglish, Andriy Shevchenko, Alan Shearer, Ian Rush, Henrik Larsson and Hernan Crespo are just some of the strikers at your disposal.

Then, you've got the ability to bring free-kick Roberto Carlos on, along with midfield generals such as Roy Keane, Clarence Seedorf and Claude Makelele - as well as silky wide-men Ryan Giggs, Robert Pires and John Barnes.

EA Sports took away Classic XI in recent years as they put a focus on the Icons cards, but bringing it back is a shrewd move.

All we need now is the return of World XI and gamers will have the ability to relive the most intense derby in the history of football.

The past vs the present. Old vs new. Classic XI vs World XI. AND IT'S LIVE!
