...before he moved to Real Madrid. Los Blancos signed Özil for just 15 million euros. What a bargain – and what this move has done to his overall rating. Amazing! | © EA Sports/EarlyGame

FIFA 11 Mesut Ozil FUT Ultimate Team — FIFA 11

Can a player from Bremen really help Real? Yes! The downgrade has nothing to do with his performance, but the adjusted ratings in FIFA 11... | © EA Sports/EarlyGame

FIFA 12 Mesut Ozil FUT Ultimate Team — FIFA 12

In Madrid, he developed into a real wizard when it comes to assists. The German assisted 80 goals in 159 games and scored 27 times for Real. Nevertheless, there was his transfer at the end of the season. **Even if CR7 was not happy with it.** | © EA Sports/EarlyGame

FIFA 13 Mesut Ozil FUT Ultimate Team — FIFA 13

For approx. £50 million, he moved to Arsenal and the fans loved him right away. In FIFA 13, Özil was soooo good and so much fun. | © EA Sports/EarlyGame

FIFA 14 Mesut Ozil FUT Ultimate Team — FIFA 14

Before Germany's World Cup win, he could celebrate with Arsenal for the first time. In 2014, there was the first FA Cup trophy for Özil.... | © EA Sports/EarlyGame

FIFA 17 Mesut Ozil FUT Ultimate Team — FIFA 17

Özil's finest hour. He's never been better in FIFA. In the season 15/16, he assisted 20 goals in 45 games and scored 8 himself – no wonder that he was so crazy good in FIFA 17. | © EA Sports/EarlyGame

FIFA 18 Mesut Ozil FUT Ultimate Team — FIFA 18

In FIFA 18, he was a super nice CAM – but lack of pace made him slip more and more backwards in the meta. | © EA Sports/EarlyGame

FIFA 19 Mesut Ozil FUT Ultimate Team — FIFA 19

In the season of 17/18, he missed a lot of games due to injury. So, the downgrade in FIFA 19 is no coincidence. | © EA Sports/EarlyGame

FIFA 20 Mesut Ozil FUT Ultimate Team — FIFA 20

Time and again, minor injuries prevent Özil from reaching his old top level. During the season in 19/20 and after only 23 games, it was clear: Özil will leave Arsenal. | © EA Sports/EarlyGame

FIFA 21 Mesut Ozil FUT Ultimate Team — FIFA 21

In FIFA 21, Özil was only included in very special FUT squads. He made 11 appearances in his first season at Fener. | © EA Sports/EarlyGame

FIFA 22 Mesut Ozil FUT Ultimate Team — FIFA 22

His OVR went down to 80 with FIFA 22 – and the former world-class playmaker was a regular midfielder again. At 33 years of age, it's not so surprising, either. Not everyone can be Messi or Ronaldo. | © EA Sports/EarlyGame

FIFA 23 Ozil FUT — FIFA 23

In March 2023, Mesut Özil says goodbye and retires from professional football. He won titles with almost all his clubs. Four times English Cup Winner, one German DFB-Pokal, one Spanish Copa der Rey and Champion in La Liga – and above all: World Cup champion.

We say thank you Mesut and hope to see you again very soon: **As new Hero in EAFC**. | © EA Sports/EarlyGame

Beautiful assists and goals were also his trademark during his time at Arsenal.

Özil won the World Cup with Germany in 2014 and retired in March 2023. We'll show you the evolution of one of the best playmakers in Ultimate Team. Here is Mesut Özil's FUT history from FIFA 09 to FIFA 23!
