FIFA 19 Starhead Thread
For the 8th year running, the Starhead Thread returns for this years edition of FIFA. This thread is consistently the biggest and most popular thread on this entire forum, having attained more than 1 million views on each of the four last threads. This, combined with an ever increasing hunger from fans around this world, shows how highly fans of FIFA value the topic of player faces within the game.
Since 2011, the Starhead Thread has been the mecca for news on player faces and a place for aesthetic fans to come and discuss all things face-like. Throughout the years, we have had a community of passionate fans. Some who have been members for years and others who are new to the thread. We are some of the most committed fans who play the game, but don't mistake our tenacity, it's purely a mutual love of the game and a desire for our voices to be heard. Our members are constantly looking for squeaks and leaks for any potential news from official teams and players.
Naturally we will have new users coming into this thread for the first time, who are very welcome to become part of the discussion. To you, we say that we are well aware that there's on-going problems with FIFA and that graphics can't be the main focus on the development team, but there is enough threads for these situations. This thread is committed to just one side of the title, something that has their own team for, so we ask that you respect our place and don't post for arguments sake. We respect your opinion but this isn't the place for it.
A resident of this thread, @VapexKarma, has a popular YouTube channel that he constantly posts top quality videos on. These videos showcase many different visuals that are that are present in FIFA, such as player faces and face comparisons from PES, as well as players who are in need of an updated face on FIFA. His channel has only continued to increase over the past year as he fights the good fight for our struggles! You can find his channel here
Lastly, there are rules that are present in this thread that you can find below and will need to abide to.
With all that being said, don't be afraid to join in with discussion. Here's to a great year!

- This thread is for player face discussion only, for discussion of everything else to do with FIFA 18 please use other more appropriate threads.
- Please use the Off Topic section to discuss PES. A small amount of PES face discussion is allowed in here but only for comparison purposes. Anything else/excessive PES face discussion will be removed.
- We understand graphics aren't everyone's cup of tea. Please be aware that we also want gameplay updates and fixes but this thread is solely just for starheads. EA have numerous departments working on different aspects of the game. There are gameplay-specific threads for you to air your thoughts.
- Please do not quote posts that include numerous pics, nor create quote chains.
- Please be respectful of everyone's opinion. Arguing for the sake of arguing will get us nowhere.
With all that being said, don't be afraid to join in with discussion. Here's to a great year!

There are 4 different types of faces in FIFA. They are the following:-
Scanned
when a player receives the treatment mentioned above.
Starhead
When a team sent by EA take multiple pictures with one camera to apply to players' in-game counterpart.
Custom
when the players' in-game is designed by the graphics team without the aide of a photoshoot.
Generic
when a player has a in-game face that is modelled on them without going into great detail.

Top teams that are in desperate need of treatment

And lots more custom faces for top players who are generic please..
Wait & see
I have the same feeling - Betis scanned, most stadiums already acquired (apparently), club owners (I think it was Girona) saying their stadium will be in Fifa 19...
Having said that, I thought the same about the Bundesliga last year!
I thought the same about the Bundesliga and I would prefer it over La Liga, but there does seem to be more tangible information this time around with various leaks...
I also can't see EA passing up the opportunity to scan Neymar considering they are partnered with PSG & hopefully they will scan the whole squad.
Can’t see most La Liga stadiums and teams scanned in Fifa 19 be great if was true
Would be good to have the new fifa mobile faces in FIFA 19, also if they can't/won't scan, have some customs of young talent in other leagues, like Simeone of fiorentina, Belotti of Torino and kluivert of Ajax.
I will never knock any additions of scans but when I see young players being added from Premier League teams, 58 rated, I would love that time to be spent on updating scans of the BIG Premier League like aguero.
Mate do You know or do You think is there any chance that someday we will see National League (I'm not gonna ask about National League South and North) in any FIFA game?
No I think he was just wishful thinking that he would love them as they are his team
I know no more than anyone else. Personally I think we will see it eventually but as for when I have no idea. I doubt it'll be any time soon. If we got the National League then we'd get North and South as well as it'd probably be all one license (like for FM). I don't even know if FM have an exclusive one (I've never seen any news article about that license).
NYFC - MLS
Arsenal - PL
Huddersfield - PL
Chelsea -PL
I also count 33 new faces in FIFA Mobile , sure it will come to consoles/PC in FIFA19

Let’s hope EA makes us happy for once.
On an entirely different point, knowing that the EA devs are well aware of this thread (trust me, I know), and we are pretty sure they've at least made customs for a whole bunch of random yet good players on mobile, do you think we should make a list of players that need customs, like we did with the teams? I'd like for it to not get clunky, but this place is the most publicised place for it outside of players complaining on twitter so it could help them. It could also help them know what players to rescan if they're out of date.
Mate I know that he is a supporter of Hereford, and he is not only one here. Since FM08 in almost every save I was a manager of great Hereford United (players such as Rob Purdie, Kingsley James, Josh O'Keefe, Jarrow Bowen, Chris Sharp, Sam Clucas, Will Evans, Joe Colback, James McQuilkin and of course Harry Pell
Yes, I know, and English lower leagues were the only reason why I was playing FM for years...It is a little bit boring to play with Barnet all time o FIFA 18, that why I would like to see more English lower leagues, so It would be great to play with Dover, Stockport or Hereford in some future on FIFA
I think it's a good idea to create a list, however, we should all try and agree on the number of players as well as what players are on that list to avoid endless lists. Hopefully this would show EA which starheads the Fifa community wants based on demand.
We could shortlist 40 players and settle on something like 25 for the final list by way of voting.
Maybe there will be a La Liga full scan thou this yr with betis already done and rumours of Girona
I think is the best way for EA. They need to focus in custom faces by demand, just like they did on Mobile.
25? I'd expect 100+ quality customs for top players who still have generic faces in a yearly released game..
I'd want 25+ every few months on top of that as DLC like PES do..
