It may come as a surprise to learn that out of all the players in world football who could have starred alongside Lionel Messi as the coverstar for FIFA 16 in the UK, it was Liverpool’s Jordan Henderson who came out on top and will now feature alongside the Barcelona and Argentina star on the front cover. Yep, Jordan Henderson.
He beat the likes of Man City’s Sergio Agüero, Spur’s striker Harry Kane and Chelsea’s goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois to the coveted front cover of FIFA.

Twitter fans didn’t take too kindly to the news however, with some less then happy with the outcome. After all, the front cover of the game is extremely important so no wonder so many people have become outraged. Here are some of the unhappy replies!

Is Henderson the worst player to feature on the front cover of any FIFA game? Well many fans seem to think so…
@JHenderson @EASPORTSFIFA Worst footballer ever to be on the cover, well done. — #GriezmannDaily (@CarefreeDaily) July 10, 2015
