FG: It’s a good time to be alive, isn’t it?
Erling: Yeah it is
FG: I can see you’re a lot happier than last time.
FG: Look, he’s quite angry. I can tell. Right, okay.
Jack: Physicality should be a little bit higher.
FG: What do you reckon it should be?
FG: Oooh yeah
Steph: I’m not being funny, I’m quicker than 61. FG: Yes. I know you’re quicker than that.
FG: It’s a little bit low though, right?
Julian: Eh, I don’t know
Esme: I should be way faster though. That’s the one that annoys me.
Kalvin: Jeeez! 74 pace?!
FG: 53 shot. Nathan: Yeah, correct.
Joško: At least 80
Ellie: Yeah, shambles.
Rico: Nah that’s taking the mick a little bit. FG: I knew you weren’t gonna take that one!
Phil: It is a bit harsh, seeing we won the treble.
FG: Today I’m giving the Manchester City players their copy of EA FC 24
Let’s go and see what they think about their ratings.
FG: 85-rated. Happy? Jack: Yeah.
FG: I think you should be an 86 at least.
Jack: Nah, 85 I’m happy with. FG: Mate, you won the Treble!
Jack: 84 last year.
Jack: Shooting yeah. FG: 76 shooting’s right?!
Jack: Yeah. Geez I only scored five.
FG: Physical? Jack: Physicality should be a little bit higher.
FG: What do you reckon it should be?
FG: Oooh yeah, it should. Oof.
FG: But that’s at least an 80! Jack: Nah I’m only joking.
Jack: Nah, it’s alright.
Chloe: It’s better than last year, is it?
FG: Listen, you are absolutely incredible on this game.
Chloe: Do you know what, a lot of people have been saying this.
FG: I have played about 30 people with you.
FG: And I have won about zero games against you. Chloe: What do you mean, in the game?
FG: In-game, you are a problem.
FG: 89-rated. That’s good.
Rodri: Not bad, not bad. FG: Do you want the good news or the bad news?
Rodri: Ah good news. Good news.
FG: The good news is your 89.
FG: The bad news is they’ve gave you 58 pace.
Rodri: Ah, come on man. FG: 58!
Rodri: It’s not true.
FG: We had this conversation last year.
FG: You’ve got the pace though. Rodri: And the shot?
Rodri: Yeah I’ve got the pace. FG; Oh my god, the shot. 73.
FG: Do you know how many good memories this man's given all of us with his shot?
FG: Left foot. Right foot. You don’t score bad goals.
FG: I feel like if there was a tap-in, you'd let it go to someone else
FG: because it doesn't fit your game style.
FG: Want to have a quick game?
FG: You got time to play me first goal wins?
FG: Let’s do it, let’s go.
FG: I also played against Man City Players on FC 24.
FG: Let me know how you think I did in the comments below
FG: and look out for the video coming soon to Man City’s YouTube.
FG: You are so good on this game.
FG: have played against you numerous times
FG: and I’ve had nightmares.
FG: You and Chloe are genuinely unplayable on it.
FG: But there you go, that’s for you. Enjoy it. Lauren: I love that. Thank you very much.
Kalvin: Who’s is that, is that Reeks?
Kalvin: Let’s have a look at Reeks’ Rico: I think it’s not bad.
Kalvin: Jeeez! 74 pace?!
Kalvin: Rico. 79.
Rico: Sorry? Kalvin: I’m 79.
FG: I think you’ve been done dirty. Personally. Rico: What’s your pace?
Kalvin: 66.
Kalvin: I’m not fast though, am I?
Rico: Yeah, but you’re not slow are you?
FG: 74 pace. Rico: That’s a bit generous I think.
FG: You’re quicker than that. Come on mate.
Rico: Nah, it’s generous.
FG: 72 dribbling. Rico: I’m happy with that.
FG: You’re happy with 72 dribbling? Rico: That’s good. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
FG: Right, defending 70. Come on mate.
Rico: Yeah but I’m a Silver.
FG: Yeah but come on mate. You’ve won the Treble.
Rico: Yeah, but you’ve gotta just take what you get, don’t you?
Rico: Don’t get upset. FG: Right, you’re gonna take the 59 physical as well?
Rico: Nah that’s taking the mick a little bit. FG: I knew you weren’t gonna take that one!
Rico: No. I’m a little bit stronger than that.
FG: So congratulations on being on the game. Rico: Thank you very much.
FG: Let’s hope for some special...
FG: Have you got any promos you want to be a part of this year?
Rico: Yeah, Future Stars innit. FG: Future Stars. He knows!
FG: Good morning. Deyna: Good morning.
FG: I have your new FC 24 item, Deyna: Ah, nice!
FG: with your copy of the game.

Deyna: I love that.
FG: Are you happy with your rating? Deyna: I’m very happy, yeah.
FG: Alright Julian, right. Okay, Treble winner. World Cup winner.
Julian: Oh, nice. FG: 80-rated.
Julian: 80. FG: It’s a little bit low though, right?
Julian: Eh, I don’t know, maybe. FG: It should be like 84, 85.
FG: 79 pace. Higher? Julian: Higher maybe, yeah.
FG: 81 shot. Julian: Eh, that’s good.
FG: Higher. No it’s not, it should be higher! Julian: You think?
FG: 76 passing. Julian: Yeah, that’s fine.
FG: 83 dribbling. Julian: Yeah, fine.
FG: You’re just being too nice. Julian: It’s good.
FG: You know you’ve got an Evolution card.
FG: So you can get upgraded.
FG: Let me show you real quick.
FG: 82-rated. Now that’s better, isn’t it? Julian: That’s perfect, yeah.
FG: Welcome to FC. It’s your first ever... Oscar: Oh, yeah!
FG: item, on FC 24. Oscar: Oh, thank you!
FG: What do you think mate?
FG: 64, I mean, it is the first item. Oscar: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
FG: The pace is good though. Oscar: The pace is great.
Oscar: No, no, I'm happy with this.
Oscar: I’m happy with being a rare. FG: It’s going to be a good year for you.
FG: Hopefully we can see maybe, a few specials. Oscar: No, I like this.
FG: If you were to give yourself a rating, what would it be?
Oscar: I’ll stick with 64. For now.
FG: For now, right? Oscar: For now, of course, yeah.
Jess: Sick! FG: Thoughts on your rating?
FG: You happy to be in the game? Finally! Jess: Sick!
FG: Look at all your stats.
FG: Technical, Flair, First Touch... Jess: They’re alright them actually!
FG: Trickster, Quick Step, Trivela. That’s the most I’ve seen so far.
Jess: Sick.
FG: I’ve got your FC 24 item. Yui: Oh, thank you!
FG: What do you think about your rating?
FG: It could be higher, maybe?
Yui: No, it’s okay.
FG: It’s okay? You’ve got a lot of stats as well.
FG: Tiki Taka, Intercept, Press Proven & Trivela.
Yui: Ooo yeah! FG: So there you go.
FG: Lovely to see you. There you go. Yui: Thank you.
FG: 75 pace, 53 shot. Nathan: Yeah, correct.
FG: He doesn’t rate his shooting, right.
FG: This one hurts mate, 72 passing. Nathan: Poor passing?
Nathan: Is that dead? FG: Is that dead? You’re a Treble winner mate!
FG: We need eights across the bottom, minimum, okay?!
FG: 74 dribbling.
FG: Nah, you’ve got a bit! Nathan, Eh, sometimes.
FG: You’ve got a little, shimmy and stuff in you! Right, okay.
FG: 82 defending. Yeah, it should be like 89.
Nathan: Yeah? FG: Of course.
FG: 77 physical. You’re stronger than that!
Nathan: They see the skinny body and they think...
Nathan: They don’t know it’s in the legs, you know. FG: It’s all in the legs. Right, okay.
FG: There is your copy of FC 24. Nathan: Thank you very much.
FG: FC item. Have you seen your rating?
Jill: Yeah, I’ve seen it FG: The highest-rated in the team along with Lauren.
FG: Happy with it? Jill: Of course.
FG: Yeah. Technical, First Touch.
FG: You are actually really, really good in-game, as well.
FG: We’ve got a copy of the game for you here.
Jill: Okay, that’s great. FG: So enjoy, and welcome to the club.
Jill: Thank you.
FG: 89 this year.
Rúben: Yeah. Guess it’s a good one?
FG: Yeah, but the pace is 62. Rúben: Yeah, I know that.
FG: That’s pretty bad that, isn’t it? Rúben: Yeah, well...
FG: You’re quicker than that!
FG: Look, he’s quite angry. I can tell. Right, okay.
FG: People might think that you’re slow.
FG: But I’ve never seen anyone get in behind you.
FG: What pace do you reckon you would have?
FG: In the 80’s? Rúben: I think this is ridiculous.
Rúben: From what I see in the game.
Rúben: I am slower than who? So many guys.
Rúben: Bernardo for example, it’s just...
FG: 66 passing. Hmm...
FG: Apparently you can’t pass mate. Rúben: Hmm...
Rúben: Alright, you tell me. How do they balance it?
FG: I don’t know... Rúben: To get to this.
Rúben: Nah, no words for it. FG: You’re a Bruiser apparently.
FG: That is a new play style.
FG: Hard Tackle, Strong...
Rúben: Alright, this is new. I did not know this. FG: Yeah, that’s cool.
FG: Power Header.
FG: Yep. You’ve got the Block.
FG: We always see you running, with your hands behind your back.
FG: Yeah, I like that.
FG: Aerial. Yeah, you’re very good in the air.
FG: Can we just look into the camera now, and just say...
FG: His pace, is too low. Put it up, EA!
FG: Thoughts?
Esme: I’m not upset.
Esme: Last year I was 67. So I was quite upset about that.
Esme: So I’m happy that there’s an improvement.
Esme: I would like a Gold one.
Esme: I should be way faster though. That’s the one that annoys me.
Esme: I’m fast!
FG: So what pace would you give yourself? Esme: What’s Hempo? Is she on there?
Esme: 90. And Chloe’s 88! Well I’m as fast as Chloe.
Esme: So I should be at least an 88.
FG: Okay, right.
FG: 79 rated.
FG: They’re putting me in an awkward position here because,
FG: come on mate. Stefan: Yeah.
FG: 76 diving. Stefan: At least one up.
Stefan: 80 would be fine. FG: Nah, it’s gotta be 82, 83.
FG: 76 diving. Stefan: Really?
FG: Yeah, that’s mad that, isn’t it? Stefan: Yeah, that is mad.
FG: 86 kicking. Not bad. Decent. Stefan: Yeah, it’s alright.
FG: But you should be like, 80’s, 90’s.
Stefan: Yeah maybe.
Stefan: Yeah, this is a bit... FG: It’s too low, right.
Stefan: Yeah, it’s a bit too low.
FG: Have you seen your FC 24 rating?
Jérémy: Yeah, I’ve seen it.
FG: You’ve got a Team of the Week you know. Already.
Jérémy: Yeah, yeah, yeah. FG: 77-rated. 91 pace.
FG: 67, I’m not sure mate. Jérémy: 67 shooting?
FG: Yeah 67 shooting. It’s just so, so poor, isn’t it?
Jérémy: It’s low. It’s low. FG: Did they watch him against West Ham?
FG: Did you see the celebration?
Steph: I’m not being funny, I’m quicker than 61. FG: Yes. I know you’re quicker than that.
FG: Look at your passing as well, that’s... Steph: I know!
FG: Passing is the most... Do you not know who Steph Houghton is?
FG: That is the muggiest thing I’ve ever seen. Steph: My passing is definitely better than that.
Steph: Dribbling, I mean, you can take a bit off that.
FG: Look at the 80 defending. That’s decent.
Steph: Yeah, I don’t mind that.
Steph: Oh, that’s cool! FG: Thought’s on the physical?
Steph: Hm, could be a bit higher, but, you know... FG: Could be a bit higher, yeah.
Steph: I’m getting a bit older now, you see.
FG: An absolute legend of the game and you’re doing her dirty like this!
FG: Bernardooo... Congratulations on the new contract.
FG: 88-rated.
FG: That is a good item.
Bernardo: It’s a good item? FG: But let’s talk about your stats.
FG: Look at the dribbling firstly.
FG: 92 dribbling. That’s very good. Bernardo: The dribbling is very good.
FG: Pace, 69? Bernardo: The pace, yeah.
Bernardo: I’m quite slow so... FG: I don’t think you’re that slow!
FG: You cover a lot of ground. Bernardo: I accept that.
FG: 78 shooting. Bernardo: Yeah, it’s alright.
FG: 86 passing. Bernardo: Yeah, correct.
FG: That’s correct.
FG: 70 defending.
FG: You asked for an upgrade on last year. Bernardo: I’m a very good defender.
FG: I think it should be 80’s mate. Bernardo: It should be a bit more.
Bernardo: The physical should be a bit less.
FG: You should have less physical?
FG: We’ve given him too much physical, 69 physical!
Ellie: Yeah. Shambles. FG: It is a bit of a shambles.
FG: I was just saying to the camera then, you’ve been done a little bit dirty.
Ellie: Do you think?
FG: What do you think? Ellie: Well I appreciate that.
FG: What do you think? Ellie: Yeah, I agree.
Ellie: 79. I would have appreciated an 80, and above.
FG: By the way 87 pace is very good.
Demi: I dunno. That might have gone downhill now, I think.
FG: Oh you... Demi: Nah, I’m just kidding.
FG: I think you are that quick.
FG: Defending wise, you’re 73 and 76 though.
Demi: Oh, I mean defending, I’d like that higher, to be honest.
FG: Yeah, you want it a bit higher?
FG: Your FC 24 rating,
FG: Have you seen it yet? Joško: Nah.
FG: Let's talk about the stats though. 78 pace. I think you're quicker than that.
Joško: I am but... FG: What do you think it should be?
Joško: At least 80.
FG: I agree. 54 shot.
FG: 69 passing. Definitely should be higher Joško: Yeah, who...
Joško: I don’t know how... FG: Who made this?
FG: 82 defending and 83 physical.
Joško: That’s okay.
Joško: I’m okay with that. FG: You’re okay with 82 defending?
Joško: And 82, 83 is not that bad.
FG: But you’ve got a lot of Playstyles.
FG: So you’re good with the Block. You’ve got a Power Header.
FG: You’ve got a Pinged Pass. You’ve got a Long Ball Pass.
FG: And you can Jockey.
FG: That’s really good by the way. That is a lot.
FG: What are your thoughts on your rating?
Laia: Oh my God, passing?!
Laia: 58?! FG: Yeah that’s the muggiest thing I’ve seen that.
Laia: Oh, that’s bad.
FG: The 28 shot is pretty poor as well. Laia: Yeah, I know.
Laia: I'm going to improve.
Sandy: I mean, I thought the goal is just to get Gold, isn’t it?
FG: Yeah. Well, we’re nearly there.
Sandy: Yeah, close.
Phil: Same as last year.
FG: I think that’s a bit harsh, you know. Phil: It is a bit harsh.
Phil: Seeing as though we won the Treble.
FG: The one that hurts me the most right.
FG: The one that hurts me the most is the physical.
FG: Because I don’t think you’re weak.
Phil: I’m not that weak.
FG: 60 physical?! Phil: People just think I’m weak, the way I look.
Phil: Also LW. Can you change me to a CAM? FG: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
FG: You can play in various positions. Phil: It should be everywhere.
FG: Everywhere? Phil: Even left back.
FG: What’s your favourite position?
Phil: Probably CAM or RW.
FG: Do you not think you should start as a RW?
Phil: Yeah.
Leila: Yeah. Good defending, no? FG: Yeah, very good defending.
Leila: Yeah, maybe pass is better.
FG: Yeah, that pass should be better I think.
FG: But you’ve got the Jockey trait as well.
FG: Which is a new playstyle, which is really, really good.
FG: This is actually a really good starting item.
Mateo: I thought it would be a little bit higher, to be honest.
FG: Yeah, I agree. Mateo: I think.
FG: 69 shooting.
Mateo: Shooting, this is maybe why my ranking is not so good.
Mateo: So I would maybe put, I have a good shot, but I don’t use it a lot.
FG: Okay, so we’re gonna see it soon, right?
FG: 87 dribbling is a good stat.
FG: I’m glad that they’ve seen that, because you’re very good at dribbling.
FG: You don’t lose the ball.
Mateo: I think I defend good, to be honest.
Mateo: I improved a lot over the years, to be honest.
Alanna: It’s alright. FG: It’s alright?
Alanna: It’s alright. FG: What about the pace?
FG: Do you think you should have a higher pace?
Alanna: Oh, that’s a bit harsh. FG: Yeah, that is harsh.
Alanna: Yeah that’s harsh. So is the shooting.
FG: Thoughts on your rating?
Khaira: It should have gone higher.
FG: I know, it should be a lot higher. Khiara: 60 is a vio.
FG: Yeah, it is a little bit of a violation.
FG: 90 club!
FG: We can already see it. Erling: How are you?
FG: I’m very well mate. How are you? Erling: Good.
FG: Have you played a lot of the game yet?
Erling: A little bit, yeah.
FG: A little bit.
FG: 91. It’s a good time to be alive, isn’t it?
Erling: It is. FG: I can see you’re a lot happier than last time.
FG: 91-rated. 89 pace, 93... It’s just so nice to look at, isn’t it Erling.
FG: Are you going to avoid me again
FG: You’re not going to play me yet, are you?
Erling: Yeah, I will play you soon. But I have to get ready!
FG: He wants another pre-season!
FG: Well, look. There’s your FC item. Erling: Thank you very much.
FG: The cover star. Congratulations.
Erling: Thank you. FG: What a time to be alive.
FG: It’s great to have a City player on there.
FG: And what a great season you had, and thanks for last year.
