How much would a subscription cost?
It is entirely possible that a subscription model could be used to sell FIFA 20 and EA bosses have discussed the idea in the past.
In fact, EA already offers subscription services in the form of EA Access and Origin Access, which is available for PC.
EA Access costs $4.99 a month or $29.99 for a year, which is cheaper than both Spotify ($9.99 p/m) and Netflix ($12.99 p/m).
