Many other well-known players who do not make videos are also believed to have been hit.
AnesonGib, W2S, Nepenthez, Nick28T, Bateson87 and matthdgamer have more than five million YouTube subscribers between them.
the gang behind the attacks could use online leader boards to pick victims.
"It's most likely they just went on the leaderboards and found the ones with the best Ultimate Team Clubs "
Origin is the online system that players have to use if they want to use some of the multi-player aspects of EA games.
An EA representative said: "We encourage all Fifa players to secure their accounts with authentication and verification steps, which we outline on our help and our product sites.
"We are consistently working through our customer experience teams to secure accounts and make sure players are educated when account compromises are made."
