Sheffield United have started the new campaign strongly, as one of only three Championship sides to be unbeaten at this stage of the season. The Blades are sixth in the early table and without their two-point deduction would be level on points with third-placed Blackburn Rovers.
But how does their squad compare in the virtual world of EA Sports FC 25, the latest instalment of the popular video game series formerly known as FIFA? The game will be released worldwide on Friday, September 27, while players with early access can play from this coming Friday (September 20). Ahead of that, we had a look at the ratings of the current Blades squad in the game - with some head-scratching statistics for certain players...
Have a look through and see what you reckon - which players are scored just about right and which ones have EA clearly not been watching recently?
9. Sam McCallum 69
Not least from ex-Norwich man McCallum, who came off the bench to score at Hull on Friday despite his 55 shooting stat | Sportimage
10. Jamie Shackleton 69
The utility man has been earmarked as a key man for the Blades this season by boss Chris Wilder and can play RB, LB or CM in the game | Sportimage
11. Harrison Burrows 70
One of a few cards that seems a little low but his performances so far at United suggest an upgrade isn’t far off | Sportimage
