With 91 OVR Jan Oblak is the goalkeeper with the highest rating in FIFA 22, but that alone is not enough for a World Cup participation. Furthermore, he plays an extremely weak season at Atlético Madrid... | © EA Sports / EarlyGame
Just imagine the meme of Giorgio Chiellini and Bukayo Saka right here, only this time the Italian is held back... | © EA Sports / EarlyGame
Milan Skriniar misses the World Cup in Qatar with Slovakia as well. Let's be honest, if it had been any other World Cup, it would probably have been more tragic. | © EA Sports / EarlyGame
Leonardo Bonucci and Giorgio Chiellini simply belong together – both at club level and in the national team. Both of them won't travel to Qatar in 2022... and to give a little spoiler, there are still a few more Italian players coming in this gallery. | © EA Sports / EarlyGame
Franck Kessie is rated highly across European clubs after his performances with Milan, but he won't be able to continue proving himself on the big stage at the World Cup. | © EA Sports / EarlyGame
Marco Verratti is an outstanding football player and is highly praised by many of his teammates. Unfortunately, we won't see more world-class performances of the Italian at the World Cup in Qatar... | © EA Sports / EarlyGame
Lorenzo Insigne, on the other hand, is not playing a particularly good season and will also transfer to the MLS in the summer. The World Cup in Qatar would probably have been the last chance for him to play in a World Cup. | © EA Sports / EarlyGame
RB Leipzig's Dominik Szoboszlai (77 OVR) will also not take part in the tournament in Qatar. With Hungary, he wasn't able to qualify for the World Cup – England, Poland, and Albania were simply better in their respective group. | © EA Sports / EarlyGame
The last Italian player in this gallery, it's enough now. Oh well, Italy is a phenomenon... missing the World Cup, then winning the European Championship last year, and now again not qualifying for the World Cup. It's a real rollercoaster ride.... | © EA Sports / EarlyGame
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has been in absolute top form since his winter transfer to FC Barcelona. In December 2022, he will also have enough time to focus on his new club – after all, Gabon did not qualify for the World Cup. | © EA Sports / EarlyGame
I don't know if you can still consider Erling Haaland a talent... if so, he's still one of the greatest talents in FIFA 22! It's a real pity that he won't be at the World Cup, you can never see enough of him. | © EA Sports / EarlyGame
Most of the qualifying matches are behind us and the World Cup will start very soon... Oh, wait no, it's not until winter this year. Great. Really awesome.
Many teams have already qualified for the tournament in Qatar – However, there are also some countries that have failed to qualify and are therefore not allowed to compete in the World Cup this year.
We show you the best starting line-up in FIFA 22 that will miss the World Cup.
