In FIFA 19, a football professional made it among the best FIFA players worldwide. Without a top team, he achieved a 29-1 success in the Weekend League.
This is the professional footballer: Manuel Kubli is a 24-year-old football player of the second division club FC Rapperswil-Jona in Switzerland, who, when he is not on the pitch, enjoys spending his time playing FIFA. Because even on the console, Kubli is talented.
This is what happened: As he was injured and missed his team’s match last weekend, only able to watch from the stands, he had enough time to participate in the Weekend League.
His fans were able to join him live on Twitch. And indeed, he managed an incredible 29 wins out of 30 games. A success that not every FIFA eSports player can boast. It was only in the last game that Kubli had to concede defeat.
This is how the Weekend League works: The FUT Champions Weekend League is the most important and profitable game mode of FIFA 19 Ultimate Team. Here, 30 games can be completed over the weekend, aiming to collect as many wins as possible.
The rewards depend on the number of wins. Therefore, with many wins, really strong rewards can be obtained. However, these are not easy to achieve, as the best FIFA players face off in the Weekend League.
Rank 12 in the world without an absolute top team
Manuel Kubli made it to rank 12 in the world with his performance. This is an extreme success, considering that Kubli’s team does not consist solely of Icon and TOTY cards, as is common for many eSports players.
In Kubli’s team, three Icon cards can be found, but there are also quite a number of untradeable Inform cards that he received for his successes in the Weekend League. Kubli also plays with regular gold cards, which at such a level is also unusual.
Manuel Kubli impressively demonstrates that it is not only possible to achieve great success as a professional football player in FIFA. But also that this can work with a balanced team. Provided the ability.
