The Premier League may be on hiatus ‘in real life’, but on the virtual pitch, the action has been incredible. With goals galore and football banter that we’ve missed as much as the sport itself, the ePL Invitational FIFA20 event has been great value so far.

We’ve seen a dozen games so far, with only the quarter-finals, semi-final and final to come over the weekend. Who’s looking like they might be a player to avoid in those last games of the tournament series?

Round 1 took place between eight players, with just four progressing to the Last 16. John McGinn represented Aston Villa, but he was on the end of a 6-1 drubbing by Neal Maupay, who perhaps displayed why he hasn’t scored as many goals for Brighton & Hove Albion this season as he might have liked – he must have been playing FIFA20 into the midnight hour most nights to possess skills like these.
