The tracklisting boasts 42 songs from 21 nations across a number of genres to make sure the game showed off all sorts of music from across the globe.

Handpicked by the those in the know at EA, there's a nice mixture of well known acts and new artists that the company reckons "defines the sound of the coming football season".

This year’s soundtrack includes tracks from Scottish favourites, The Fratellis, and Irish trio, The Script. Other UK highlights come from The Ting Tings, Kasabian, The Kooks, Foals and Duffy.
