Favourite England player

Trent Alexander-Arnold. 100 per cent.

How old were you when you started playing FIFA?

I have no idea. I remember playing FIFA 08 or 09 when I was five or six but playing competitively, I have been playing since FIFA 17, so five or so years.

Who is your favourite player to sign on FIFA 23?

Ruud Gullit, who is on there as an icon. He is the best player on the game in my opinion.

Who would make your FIFA 23 five-a-side team?

I don’t really mind about the goalkeeper too much so I would go for Alisson. But then anyone with pace or skill, so Kyle Walker would be at the back. I like Jude Bellingham and then up front it would be as much pace as possible, so Kylian Mbappe and R9 Ronaldo.

Who would make your FIFA 23 five-a-side team of just England players?

Aaron Ramsdale, Kyle Walker, Trent, Bellingham and then Marcus Rashford.

What has been your favourite moment as an eLion?

Just playing in the FIFAe Nations in 2019. That was really fun.

What does it mean to be an eLion?

I like playing for England. I have played ePremier League with Liverpool and we won that so I enjoy the feeling of winning and hopefully I can replicate it with England.

How would you describe your playing style?

Smart. I don’t make many mistakes and then when I am in the box I like to do some skills. So smart and then skilful.

How do you assess England’s chances in the eNations Cup?

Very good to be honest. FIFA 19, we could have won it. Last year we didn’t perform at our best but we still got to the quarter-finals so if we perform well, then we can get to the semi-final, final and then win. We have some of the best players in the world in our team.
