Our Croatian star was selected among a 21-man squad, which features the best-performing players from the current season prior to the league being postponed due to the COVID-19 outbreak. The Blues have played 29 of our 38 league games so far, just over 75 per cent.

The Team of the Season reveal is one of the most eagerly anticipated moments of the season for FIFA players, with a team named for each major league delivering huge stats boosts and end-game content for players to build their teams around.

Kovacic has 25 Premier League appearances this season under Frank Lampard and netted his first goal in England in our 3-1 defeat at Everton back in December.

He contributes significantly to the team when it comes to bringing the ball forward from midfield into dangerous attacking areas, breaking the lines to create danger for the opposition.
