‘They’ve done Mikel Arteta dirty!’: Arsenal fans can’t believe new FIFA 23 screenshots

‘They’ve done Arteta dirty!’: Arsenal fans can’t believe new FIFA 23 screenshots that look NOTHING like the Gunners boss, with faces of Ben White and Takehiro Tomiyasu also WAY off… and Emile Smith Rowe looks like Andrey Arshavin!

  • A first glance at player faces on FIFA 23 have been going viral on social media
  • It looks like Arsenal’s squad have been hit the hardest by unrealistic graphics
  • Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta looks completely different on the new game
  • Ben White and Emile Smith Rowe are amongst the players with poor likenesses

A first glance of FIFA 23’s player faces have been revealed and the Arsenal squad won’t be too happy with how they look. 

The release of the new FIFA game is normally a time of year for football fans to get excited but upon looking at their side, Arsenal fans might be disappointed. 

It would appear that the game has massively missed the mark when it comes to the Arsenal team – with even Mikel Arteta falling victim to the unrealistic designs.

The likenesses doesn’t get much more realistic when you go through the playing staff of the Arsenal squad, either.

Ben White, Albert Sambi Lokonga, Takehiro Tomiyasu and Emile Smith Rowe have all established themselves as important players for the Gunners but fans don’t believe they’ve been replicated properly in the new game.

One fan said ‘#FIFA23 can’t be bothered to face scan one of the biggest clubs in world football… Sort it out, it’s a disgrace!’

Arsenal fans have also noticed that one of their current players looks a lot more like a cult hero of the past. 

Arsenal’s No 10 Smith Rowe is a fan favourite at the north London club but not even the most diehard fans would be able to pick him out on the game.

Instead, the 22-year-old looks more like blast-from-the-past Andrey Arshavin.

Sambi Lokonga is another Arsenal star who will be confused about how he looks on the game. 

One fan has said that FIFA have just used a ‘template’ to create the Belgium international’s face.

With the game already released in some areas of the globe, the faces don’t look like changing anytime soon and Arsenal fans will have to use this team of not-so-good lookalikes.
