With the next generation of consoles on the horizon one can be forgiven for worrying more about the graphics and gameplay that this new processing power's going to bring our way and less about the more superficial things in the game.
But it's the little things in the FIFA series that mount up without you even realising to give it such depth and variety that keeps us playing all year round.

Second only to hairstyles in the "Most talked about" subject in FIFA, football boots in FIFA 13 get an unusually high amount of attention.
Maybe it's because if you look good you'll play with more confidence on the pitch, maybe it's because you don't want them to clash with your handbag.
Whatever the reason, for all you football fashionistas out there, here's the new boots added to FIFA 13 this week. (Oh, and there's a ball too...)
