A FIFA 22 Ultimate Team’s Division Rivals game took an unexpected turn when one team’s Kimpembe took part in a duel for the ball and was sent packing to space because of a strange glitch.

The stress of FIFA 22’s Ultimate Team game mode cannot be understated, with Division Rivals and FUT Champs proving to be a stern test.

However, one player encountered an odd glitch that played havoc with their Kimpembe.

One of the game’s best defenders, Presnel Kimpembe, is a strong beast of a centre-back, and yet one duel with an opposition striker hilariously affected his gravity.

One of the most critical aspects of FIFA 22 Ultimate Team is defending. It doesn’t matter how potent your strikers or wingers are, world-class defenders with defending to back up their reputation are paramount to success.

This is why Kimpembe is one of the game’s best options as he’s very quick, strong, great in the air and on the ground, and his French nationality can lead to some genuinely great hybrid teams.

But nowhere on his card does it say that he has an aversion to one-on-one duels, as Iamabigdinosuar found out. Their defense was left agonizingly exposed after their Kimpembe cannoned off of the opponent’s Timo Werner, ragdolling like a rocket into the sky.

Any savvy football fan will know that Timo Werner is not the most physically imposing figure in the world, especially compared to Kimpembe.

So we think it’s fair to attribute this incident to an isolated and hilarious FIFA 22 Ultimate Team glitch that isn’t going to happen too often but will no doubt inspire plenty of laughter from players who experience this out-of-the-world glitch.
