Mbappé back-to-back?
11. Kylian Mbappé (Paris Saint-Germain): Let's start with the high-flyer from France. Why not Mbappé again? The 22-year-old became France's top scorer for the 3rd year in a row and could start a FIFA cover run like Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi before him. (Credit: dexerto.com/EA Sports/PSG)
10. Jude Bellingham, Borussia Dortmund: The English shooting star performed really well at Borussia Dortmund - and that at the age of 17! Whether we will see him on the FIFA 22 cover is questionable. But he has very good chances to decorate the packs of the series one day. (Source: givemesport.com)
9. Robert Lewandowski (Bayern München): The new season record scorer in the Bundesliga (41 goals in 29 games) seems to have reached the peak of his career. If "Lewangoalski" doesn't make it onto the FIFA 22 cover, we'd at least like to see his fist-to-fist celebration in-game. (Credit: Getty Images)
8. Marcus Rashford (Manchester United): The rapid rise of the talented winger is the inspiration for the Journey of Alex Hunter, which we were able to follow between FIFA 17 and FIFA 19. Off the pitch, Rashford is considered an exemplary professional - reason enough to make him the new cover boy? (Source: PA Images/imago images)
7. Jadon Sancho (Borussia Dortmund): Sancho's move has been on the horizon for some time. A move to a top club would put the 21-year-old even more in the spotlight of the football world. Wherever he goes, we can well imagine him on the FIFA cover, though it might be too early for that. (Credit: Getty Images)
6. Kevin De Bruyne (Manchester City): The Belgian is the engine that keeps the Man City machine going. Aside from Lewa, no one on this list deserves the honor of being the FIFA 22 cover star more. Will he be the one? We have at least five better candidates. (Credit: Getty Images)
5. Mohamed Salah (Liverpool): Salah would be the first African FIFA cover star if he is chosen by EA at some point. People would argue that Liverpool had a bad season, but he was still the Premier League's second highest scorer. (Credit: alphacoders.com)
4. Ansu Fati (Barcelona): The Barça prodigy will end up on a FIFA cover sooner or later, we can be sure of that. Similar to Sancho, it might be too early for him. The sad part is that if he is picked by EA, it would be the best news for Catalan fans all season long. (Credit: Getty Images)
3. N'Golo Kanté (Chelsea): We get it, Kanté isn't marketable. But if he has a chance, it would be for this year. That rings especially true if France does well at EURO 2020. We just need that smile on the FIFA 22 cover. (Credit: Getty Images)
2. Bruno Fernandes (Manchester United): Looks pretty nice, doesn't it? The Portuguese has 65 combined goals and assists in 80 games for the Red Devils so far and has more than doubled his market value since his arrival in England. With the United brand behind him, Bruno is a front runner candidate. (Credit: givemesport.com)
1. Erling Haaland (Borussia Dortmund): Like teammate Jadon Sancho, Haaland may need to switch clubs before he graces the cover of a FIFA game. We have no doubt that he will make it at some point, even if not this year. (Credit: Getty Images)
