Harry Cornick, rated 60, has been playing
FIFA since 2004. Accumulating a solid 14
years of experience and knowledge of the
game, it’s fair to say he has become a bit of
an expert—but how does he feel about his
own ratings?
After school, Cornick would play FIFA against his older brother and
his friends, this evolved to playing online, and now playing Pro Clubs
against his fellow pro footballers at Luton Town.
Cornick recently got involved with the Ultimate Teams and his
account is progressing nicely, but the preferred format is the draft.
The Ultimate Team Draft is a unique game mode within FIFA
Ultimate Team in which you build a team from a selection of players
presented to you as options for each position.
To enter a Draft you must pay 15,000 FIFA Coins or 300 FIFA Points.
It can work out as more cost effective for getting high performing
cards than grinding your way through Weekend Leagues or
purchasing packs in-game.
Away from the FUT Draft, Harry often plays using the FIFA Team
Randomiser, which is a mode where the game selects a number of
teams for the player.
Cornick says: “If I could choose any team, I would always in the
past have played as Chelsea, especially when Diego Costa was
in the middle and you can get Willian or Hazard down the wings.
If you’ve got two quick wingers it’s a win-win for me as Costa is
almost unplayable.”
He adds: “Now, with Costa having moved, I would have to choose
Atletico Madrid”.
FIFA 19 sees Costa, the beast of a player, rated at 85 overall with a
physicality of 87 and shot rating of 83, so we can see why anyone
would like to have him in their FUT.
You would have thought all this love for Costa would make him
Harry’s favourite player in FIFA, but that special place—the first on his
team sheet—would always belong to N’Golo Kante.
Kante has had a memorable Premiership journey. After joining
Leicester City on a three year contract in 2015, he went on to win
back to back titles with Leicester and Chelsea, and a year later
he was called up to the 23-man French squad for the 2018 FIFA
World Cup.
Cornick says that Kante is his “favourite player in FIFA”.
He remarks: “You have to have him as CM. If you have him as CM he
is everywhere, he is my must have, my rock.”
