Fifa 22: Tottenham star Son Heung-min celebrates rating ahead of release
- The Ratings Collective launches on September 13 to release new stats for clubs and players ahead of game’s October 1 launch
- South Korea striker shares his new card on social media after sitting out 3-0 defeat to Crystal Palace with injury
South Korean international footballer Son Heung-min has celebrated his new improved rating on the upcoming Fifa 22 video game in a social media post ahead of the game’s release next month.
Son, who missed out on playing for his English Premier League side Tottenham Hotspur as they lost 3-0 to Crystal Palace on Saturday after picking up an injury while on international duty during last week’s Qatar 2022 Fifa World Cup qualifiers, posted an Instagram story on Sunday.
The 28-year-old, who signed a new long-term contract to stay in North London this summer, posted a video of him doing his famous framing celebration and his new Fifa 22 card.
“New rating!!” Son wrote as the caption with the hashtag “Fifa 22” and tagging the official EA Sports Fifa account. Son also mentioned The Ratings Collective, the fan-assisted data review aspect of the long-running game franchise.
The Ratings Collective announced that there would be reveals of the players’ updated ratings for the new season from today, though Son appears to have been allowed to share his earlier than even the official game account.
A number of player ratings have been leaked throughout the summer ahead of the new game being released on October 1 with Son’s card being discussed by fans of the game on Reddit and social media.
