What's new in Fifa 19?

There's a number of exciting new features for gamers to enjoy.

You'll now be able to play through an entire Champions League campaign with any qualified, or you can choose your own teams for the tournament.

The game also sees the arrival of two new commentators in Derek Rae and ITV pundit Lee Dixon, while one of the most distinctive changes is the first touch that players take.

This new feature, named Active Touch, changes the way you receive the ball, meaning players can now judge each situation on its own when taking a touch.

There is a new Dynamic Tactics builder which makes your formation more customisable than ever, while players will go into each tackle trying to win the ball.

Timed finishing makes it harder and more realistic to score, and there are a number of new stadiums in the game.

The Journey will return for a third and final instalment this season as Alex Hunter competes for the Champions League.
