According to FIFA 14 he is only the 17th best player in the world, but Gareth Bale lines up alongside Leo Messi for the cover of the new game.
The world-record signing takes the centre-stage with the Barcelona star, who according to the game is way out as the best player on the planet, two points better than Ronaldo and four clear of Franck Ribery.
Bale of course is the name on everyone's lips after the long-running transfer saga over the summer before finally joining his illustrious team-mates in the Bernabeu on the final day of the window and his presence may just sway a few more punters to part with their - or their parents - cash for the new game.
Not surprisingly the Welshman is delighted with both his new club and new cover, and
here is a trailer of the latest instalment of the FIFA series about to hit out shelves.
