Manchester City's Enzo Fernandez showcased his interactive prowess in a pre-release event for EA SPORTS FC 27, crafting an ideal version of himself. The Argentine midfielder was pleased to evaluate himself with a rating of 87, a figure just one above what the developers decided on.
A cheeky video surfaced on the official account of Man City Esports, where the new addition to the City squad jovially assessed his key football characteristics, confidently creating his personal virtual card.
Fernandez displayed quite the optimistic view of his skills across the board:
- Speed (PAC): 72 (EA SPORTS rated him 68)
- Shooting (SHO): 79 (EA SPORTS rated him 78)
- Passing (PAS): 88 (EA SPORTS rated him 86)
- Dribbling (DRI): 81 (EA SPORTS rated him 83)
- Defending (DEF): 78 (EA SPORTS rated him 74)
- Physicality (PHY): 80 (EA SPORTS rated him 76)
The official card from EA SPORTS settled Fernandez's overall score at 86. Thus, the Argentine added four points to his speed, defending, and physical stats, two to his passing, and one to his shooting.
Interestingly, the developers rated only one aspect of his game higher than he did: dribbling, where they scored him at 83 compared to his own rating of 81.
While the one-point difference may not translate into real-life football battles, the video sparked lively discussions among fans and gamers, offering the newcomer a fantastic opportunity to engage with the vast esports community of Manchester City supporters.
