- Look how far we've come.
- No, keep going. - It was somethin' like that. Wait, how does it go? - My name is Jake Barford, and welcome to 5-Star
Skiller. Today, I'm joined alongside Fulham midfielder
Fabio Carvalho. Fabio, man, you, uh, ready to play some FIFA?
- Let's go.
- All right, so, for the first match, we're gonna be playing
head to head. We're both gonna control Fulham, and goals that
are scored with you specifically, are gonna be
worth two. Anything formation wise, what are you runnin',
stickin' with the same formation there?
- Yeah, 4-2-3-1, that's what I'm goin' for. But I'm gonna give my
good friend Tyrese some game time cuz you know, you gotta
trust the youth. Neco as well. Yeah, that's what I'm goin' for.
- All right, let's do it. Let's jump into it. All right, so we got head
to head here. I'm in white, Fabio's in the black, he's
skillin' already. Goals with yourself are worth two, remember
that. - Yeah, I'm gonna score a few. - [Announcer:] Marvelous piece of skill. - What's your FIFA experience,
man? I gotta know. How long have you been playing for?
- '08 or '09? Like, PS2 times. Yeah I just remember Ronaldinho on
the cover. And, like, he was just one of the best players in the game.
That's like, one of my first memories.
- How old were you when that game came out? You had to be—
- Like, six, seven. - Yeah. Wow. That's early to be
playing FIFA then. - Yeah.
To be fair, I only played because my brother cuz he's a
bit older. So he kind of, like, put me on, like, football in
general. So, yeah, he helped me a lot.
- Was he beating you? Who was better? - You know what,
back in the days, we would go head-to-head like we was like,
even, but now, he's just, he's very good. I just feel like—
- Ooh. No. - I think I've just 'megged you there. Let's go. That's Mitro as well.
Come on. I'm sorry. I'm sorry I had to do it. Look at yourself
celebrating. You gotta tell him to stop. Oh, no, I've literally
just given it straight back to you, no.
- [Announcer:] The emphasis is on creativity. - Oh, you're trying to skill in the box. I can't let you do that
to me. I'm sorry. Is the Ultimate Team, is it Career
Mode, Pro Clubs?
- A bit of everything, to be fair. Pro Club, with my friends, yeah
that gets quite funny, to be fair. We're not the best, like, we're still in
like Div, like, Six or something, but it's just fun to play with.
Go on. - Oh, this is you as well. No! You scored it.
- Some things never change.
- They got your signature celebration in FIFA
yet, or no? - Nah, not yet, no. - Oh, you skipped the replays as well, man! Come on.
- I did, I did. I did. I need to get another one, innit. I need to win
this game. What was I gonna say? - That's 2-1, that's worth two.
- Yeah, they don't have the celebration yet, but soon, soon
come.
- What's the story behind that celebration? I'm gonna score another with Mitro.
- It's to do with my friends, innit, we've just got, like, an inside
joke kind of thing. So the one I've done, like, most recent was
like, kind of like shootin', it's, like, cuz obviously, we
play FIFA and, like, shooters shoot. So that's probably it. And the ones
like that, it's just to get the fans, the away fans kind of, like,
going crazy. - Love that.
All right, decent first half. 1-1. - That’s all right. - Or 2-1 technically since you scored with yourself. - Oh, no. - Love that one. That's the American, as well. That's my guy right there. - Jedi. - Let’s go. Love that. Who is your go-to FIFA player, like, favorite all-time?
- Probably Neymar. He's just too skillful. And like, you know, I
like doing my skills, innit. Or like 2017-2018 Ronaldo, he was OP.
- I feel like you can't go wrong with Ronaldo or Neymar in really
any FIFA.
- I feel like if you've got pace on FIFA, you're just, like— and you can finish, then, yeah.
- Oh, yeah. If you go back in, like, FIFA 13, FIFA 14, it's all pace. I don't
know if you remember some of those guys like the Doumbias, Ibarbos. - Yeah, yeah.
You know what, every time I start, like, Ultimate Team, I
used to get like Musa, Doumbia, them two, front two for, like,
cheap coins. They were too OP.
- Just go straight for the pace-y players. All right, we got a close
game, we got 10 minutes left, Mitro's 'bout to score another.
You know, I'm gonna, I'm gonna sweat it.
- No. - Oh no! Oh my god. - That's what you get for sweating.
- What is that finishing, man? We need to work—I'm gonna blame
that on you, actually. I'm gonna blame that miss on you. - On me? - Yeah, cuz it
was you, man.
- Yeah, but don't blame it on me, blame it on EA for giving me
dead ratings.
- Oh, no. Oh, no way. Come on keeper. Oh, you just—yes! Have
you just—did you just try to chip me there, man? - Yeah I tried
to chip you. - I see how it is. We just met and you're already—wow, OK.
All right. I respect it, I respect it. GG. We'll call that a draw since
you scored with yourself. You got two, I got two. I'd say
that's a good first challenge complete right
there. Do you have any, like, favorite FIFA songs because I
would say that's one of the biggest nostalgia factors with
FIFA, is like everyone has a favorite song. Do you have one?
- There was one by Skepta. I don't know if it was this FIFA or the
last FIFA, which was good. And then I don't know really the
name, but I know how they go. There was one of them, I think
it might have been like 2014 or 15, maybe, it used to go like:
'Look how far we've come.' - No, keep going! - It was somethin' like that. Wait, how does it go?
Ah, I can't remember how it goes, man. But yeah, there's a
few, there was a few where, like, they have some a few
bangers, to be fair, but— - There's so many
good ones: "The Nights" by Avicii. - Yeah, that was a good one.
- "We Come Running," "Dreaming" by Smallpools.
- How does "We Come Running" go again? Can you give me a little preview?
- Oh, man, you're gonna make me sing now. It's like: 'Headed for
the open door, tell me what you're waiting for.' - Yeah that is a classic.
Yeah, that's a good one. - That's probably my favorite one of all
time. Love that song. - That was good singing as well, to be
fair. - Ah, I appreciate that. You scored a goal against Man City
in four minutes. So
we're gonna try to duplicate that in FIFA. So you are gonna
have four minutes to try to score against me while I'm
Manchester City. You gotta score with yourself.
- I'll do my best. Everyone 90-rated, yeah?
- Yeah, let's spice it up for this one. So you scored in four
minutes against Manchester City. What was that like?
- That's the game I really wanted to score, out of every game this
year. Because obviously, you're playing against one of the best
teams in the world, crazy. So my brother, to be fair, he did say
before the game, like, 'Oh Fabio, you're gonna get a chance, like,
it's just down to you if you're gonna score or not'.
- Here we go. You got four minutes to score in this game as well.
- All right,
cool. Does it have to be, like, the same? - Nah, just score whatever,
doesn't have to be the same. - This is it. - Last chance. We'll
give it to you right here if you do it. I don't even see, where
you even at? - I'm here. - There he is. Can you put it in? Oh, it's blocked!
Couldn't do it. All right, well, let's try this one more time.
Four minutes. Gotta score with yourself. Last opportunity at
the Etihad, let's do it.
- Just playing against all the players, like De Bruyne and
that, it was just crazy, like, seeing everyone in real life.
But I told myself before the game, like, just go out and try
and get on the ball as much as possible. Because like I told
you, I played against United and that was, like, one of my first
games for Fulham. And I was just starstruck, but I told myself,
this game, just go out and show the world what you can do. - Yep.
There it is.
There is it! There we go, man. Let's go.
- Yeah, yeah, it was just good to be a part of, just the
experience as a whole was just amazing.
- Love that, man. There we go. It's recreated. Let's jump into
a game with, uh, any team we want, and just try to score some crazy
goals. What do you think?
- All right cool. That's fine. - Let's do it. - I'm gonna go with United. - All right, let's do that. - I need some 5-star skillers.
- I like that, I like that. Is it weird at all, playing—I'm sure
you've played FIFA with a lot of these guys growing up. Is it
weird, like, playing with them in real life? Like yeah, it's gotta
be something that, like, what is that feeling like?
- It's not weird innit, but, like, when I first see them, you're,
like, 'Oh my god, like, it's them', because like you said,
I've played FIFA with them, and in a way, I kind of, like, idolize
some of them.
- Is there any, like, specific player who you maybe remember, like, used
them a ton in FIFA and you've now played against them in real
life?
- Paul Pogba. I'm using him right now. Paul Pogba.
- See if you can score with him. - Yeah. - He's got the skills. He's got the five-star skills. How
is that, playing against Pogba?
- Nice, good. Like, he just kind of bossed the whole game,
basically. Because he played, I think he played the whole game
and just bossed it. - Yeah. - And, like, you just get to learn a
lot from all of these guys.
- Yeah, we're terrible at scoring. We're trying to score
the best goals here. Oh my god, I think we've hit the post and
crossbar more than we've actually scored. I gotta ask all
the Ultimate Team questions cuz I feel like those are
just the most fun ones. And you obviously said you used to open
a lot of packs back in the day. Do you have, like, a best player
you've ever packed that you remember?
- Uh, who have I packed. I packed Ronaldinho once. But yeah, that was— - Really? - Yeah.
But then my team was kind of rubbish. So I kind of had to
sell him to buy a better team.
- I think there's a lot of people out there who can relate to
that.
- Yeah, it was a bit heartbreaking cuz he's my favorite player,
like, ever. Wait. Oh my god, what was that finish?
- How do you miss that? Oh, McTominay. - Do you have a pro
player card? Do you know that is? Do you have one? - No, I
don't. Is that like the 99 card thing? - Yeah,
we need to get EA on that for you. - Yeah, we do,
we do.
- Sancho. - Oh no. - Oh my god. - That would have been insane. You love that, you love
the little roulette spin inside the box.
- Yeah I do, it works. Well, it kind of works every time. - It does work. - It's not workin' now.
- It kind of. Not there though. C'mon Mbappe. All right, let's see what you can do with Ronaldo. - Oh no, Ronaldo.
- Oh, no. Oh, no, I've just given it—oh, why are you trying to be rainbow
flick me, man? All right, I'd like to know your all-time XI in
terms of in terms of FIFA or just, you know, players you like
if you could pick an all-time XI. Let's go a goalkeeper, three
defenders, three midfielders, three attackers and then the
11th player would just be yourself, so—
- Alright cool. So yeah, that's good.
- Let's start goalkeeper.
- Manuel Neuer.
- Is that someone who you just—what, is it a FIFA player
you like, or?
- FIFA and like, like, real life as well, like, the amount of
years he's been around, and he's still like one of the best at
what he does. It's just, that's what I wanna be able to
achieve, like, the longevity of the career. It just amazes me
how long he's been doing it. - All right, three defenders, go.
- Sergio Ramos. Thiago Silva. And let's go with Ricardo Carvalho
for the culture.
- Yeah, three midfielders and yourself is just gonna be
included in there.
Yeah, cool. So midfielders, we'll go Kanté, De Bruyne and
Iniesta.
- OK. Three attackers.
- We'll go Neymar, Ronaldo, Messi. I think that's quite easy,
- That's easy, man. That's easy. Dude, I really appreciate your time. - Thank you.
- Great to play some FIFA with you, man, nice meeting you. - Nice meeting you.
