Now for the second problem I have with this game :S :

Is this game poorly optimized or something? My GPU is running between %90 and %100, at 80-90 degrees C. It's extremly hot, specially for this sort of game and it sometimes causes freezes. Any ideas?

+1 on the stress test. Do one while keeping an eye on it, report back on how it goes.

Don't worry too much, AFAIK your PC should shut down automatically before your GPU goes into Chernobyl meltdown mode, although permanent high temps obviously aren't great for lifetime.

No, 90ºC are not safe tems at all, since the GTX 680 maxes out at 98ºC. And it's pretty much continuos. I'm telling you the game freezes for a few seconds everytime I play for more than half an hour or so. When I touch the GPU I feel it's much warmer than with any other game, even Crysis 3 or Battlefield 4. Something must be wrong with FIFA.
 
The problem is not the game but the GPU.
The GTX 680 has temp issues.
One thing that might help is replaceing the thermal paste with something better/new like arctic silver 5.
Thermal paste has a life cycle of around 1 year (sometimes less depending on other factors).

Personally, I change my thermal paste twice a year :D.
