The FIFA+ for some reason doesn't have an Apple TV app, which is annoying, as previously it was easy to fire it up, bring up the YT app and watch that way.
No Apple TV app yet supports later versions of various TV's , well actually LG and Samsung only🤦‍♂️
No ability to pause etc either.
Yes, the lack of ability to pause a live stream or rewind when required due to leaving the action for a toilet break / making a cuppa / answering a phone call etc. means I will probably watch most games on demand after they have finished.
Initially I found the large number of ads playing at intervals during an on demand video on FIFA+ annoying.
However.....
A tech-savvy friend just recommended I install this free software on my computer and I can say it works very well in blocking nearly all ads online (on websites and when watching videos).
I'm finding that it blocks all ads on FIFA+ for a much better viewing experience.
I use it on my laptop's Chrome browser.
It's free ad blocker software installed on my laptop for Chrome.
It's called "ublock origin" and is free.
It's a fairly new one and I found in fact it blocks all ads when playing videos on FIFA+  (as it does on You Tube)
Details here: 
Scroll down to the bottom and choose whichever browser you use under "Platforms"

I have it installed for Chrome - easy to turn on and off by clicking "Chrome extensions" tab at top right)

Reviews by PC Magazine of the top five ad blockers (ublock is the best):

A tip if you are having problems with lagging when watching videos on FIFA+  - click on the cog symbol at top right every time when playing a video and select "HD" rather than the default "HD+" which I found causes the video to lag.
HD works fine for me on my laptop.
