Why should people be excited for the ePL?
It sees the best UK players matching up.

What would it mean to you to win the ePL?
It'd be amazing for me - a dream come true.

What formation and style of play do you adopt in-game usually?
I use the 4-3-2-1 formation as I feel it best fits my style of play. I can defend really well and this formation then allows me to attack dangerously.

However, Thomas battled back to win 5-3.

It's the best 40 players in the UK going head-to-head for a cash prize.

What formation and style of play do you adopt in-game usually?
I use the 3-4-2-1 formation as it helps me going forward and leads to me scoring more goals.
