Craig Dawson has been nominated for EA SPORTS’ FIFA’s Community Team of the Season – and West Ham United-supporting gamers can vote for the defender now!
The 31-year-old centre-back has been in imperious form in Claret & Blue this campaign, playing his part in no fewer than 15 clean sheets in 44 appearances in all competitions – including five in eight European games.
At the other end of the pitch, Dawson has scored four goals – only two other Premier League players have scored more headers than the defender’s six since his West Ham debut in December 2020 – and even assisted another two.

Such form has seen the modest defender recognised by the popular footballing title, who on Sunday afternoon opened voting for the FIFA 22 Team of the Season Community Team – with Dawson a nominee.
Should he prove one of the highest-voted defenders in the initiative, Dawson will receive one of the best cards in the game, in keeping with previous Team of the Season items.
The Community Team of the Season is one of the most eagerly anticipated squads each season, so Dawson will be counting on supporters to reward his outstanding displays over 2021/22!
The results are set to be revealed on Friday 29 April.
The announcement arrived a day after another FIFA boost for Dawson: the defender was awarded a Special ‘Europa League Man of the Match’ item for his role in the Hammers’ 3-0 win over Olympique Lyonnais in France in midweek.
Dawson not only played his part in a solid defensive display which sealed a 4-1 win on aggregate over the Ligue 1 side, but also put in a series of impressive blocks and tackles throughout, and got forwards to score the opening goal in the victory.
His now-81-rated card boosts him up from an initial base rating of 77; key boosts go to the centre-back’s physical rating, augmented to 81 (up from 76) and defensive attributes to 84 (from 79).

Dawson’s ‘Man of the Match’ card became available on Saturday (16 April) and can now be found in Ultimate Team packs for a limited time.
But it will be significantly eclipsed if the defender is voted into the Community Team of the Season.
