For the third in our new series of regular podcasts from the guys behind FIFA 10 Ultimate Team, I sat down with producer Christophe Labrune to put a few of your questions to him.
Welcome to a new thing! It's called The Back Post, it'll happen every week (as long as I'm not on holiday, or in the pub, or something), and it'll serve as a place to splurge a load of updates and links to recap a week in the life of FIFA 10.
In this week's FIFA 10 podcast, which you can listen to here, Romily Broad and myself discussed the merits of European football's two biggest prizes and I was of the opinion that The Premier League is worth far more than the Champions League.
On this week's Big Shout for the FIFA 10 podcast, Romily Broad and myself discussed whether there could ever be a place in the men's game for female coaches. This was after the England women's coach, Hope Powell, said that she would consider a job in the Premier League if the right offer came along.
This week's topic on the FIFA 10 podcast was whether Gary Neville was right to claim top footballers deserve their huge wages. Stevie Morgan doesn't agree.
The topic of this week's Big Shout in the FIFA 10 podcast was whether or not it's right to start flicking the chicken switch after only three games in to a new season. What do you think?
