Have they even decided what platform they'll play on?

Also believe some teams hire expert players to represent them.

Sarge is gonna get his time in the spotlight - just not the way he'd expected it.

With no televised football my kids are charging me £5 to watch them play FIFA 2020 - but only If I agree to go abroad. Fortunately I have a VPN.

This sounds like a brilliant idea - but (and I'm probably misunderstanding it) if you have to play as your own team, then aren't one of the teams from the PL bound to win. The PL players have much better skill levels than L2 ones - I don't see how the smaller teams have a chance.
