Being on the cover of FIFA would be one of the greatest achievements in any professional footballer’s career (or so I’d imagine), and the two cover athletes for the latest installment in the most successful football video game ever are Jack Wilshere and Wayne Rooney.
England and Arsenal star midfielder Jack Wilshere has been chosen for the cover of EA SPORTS FIFA 12! The 2010/11 Arsenal player of the season will join Wayne Rooney as the two cover stars on the UK, Ireland, Scandinavian and Middle East pack. Wayne Rooney, who graces the pack for the 7th consecutive year, will no doubt be challenging Jack to a game of FIFA 12 or two. EA SPORTS welcomes them both to FIFA 12, which promises to be their best in the football series yet!
