The latest video game in the Fifa football series has launched on Facebook rather than on games consoles.
The popularity of social media games has risen in recent years with up to 250 million global players logging on to various games each month.
Previous console Fifa games have retailed at around £30 but FIFA Superstars is free to play online.
The footballers making up each player's team are purchased in packs at a cost of £1 - £2 per pack.
Players pit their teams against those belonging to their Facebook friends.
As the tournament progresses, each player earns points which can also be used to purchase team members.
Unlike console-based versions of Fifa games in which the player can decide to play as a manager, a player or both, on Facebook players can only be managers of virtual teams made up of real players from around the world.

Playing a video game - and you may be improving your vision and other brain functions, according to research presented Thursday at a New York University conference on games as a learning tool.
"People that play these fast-paced games have better vision, better attention and better cognition," said Daphne Bavelier, an assistant professor in the department of brain and cognitive science at the University of Rochester.
Bavelier was a presenter at Games for Learning, a daylong symposium on the educational uses of video games and computer games.
The event, the first of its kind, was an indication that electronic games are gaining legitimacy in the classroom.
Panelists discussed how people learn and how games can be engineered to be even more educational.
"People do learn from games," said J. Dexter Fletcher of the Institute for Defense Analyses.

(Mashable) -- Fresh off a deal that will keep 'FarmVille," "Mafia Wars" and other popular Zynga titles on Facebook for at least the next five years, the company has inked a partnership with Yahoo to bring its social games to the Internet giant's massive userbase.
Yahoo users will be able to access Zynga's games from the Yahoo Homepage, Yahoo Mail, Yahoo Messenger and Yahoo Games, among other properties.
The deal makes a lot of sense for both companies. Games remain one of Yahoo's major strengths, with its Yahoo Games property seeing more than 19 million unique visitors each month according to comScore data.
With Zynga's titles already racking up insane amounts of usage on Facebook, we expect their addition to Yahoo will only help increase those metrics and the amount of time users are spending on the portal.
