How does it feel to be representing Albion this year on Playstation? 
It’s great. As soon as the finals ended last year I knew I was going to try and qualify for Albion again this year. 

What do you think our chances are this year in the ePremier League? 
Very good, I think we’re definitely in the top five best teams so as long as we turn up on the day I think we have a chance. 

What is it about the ePremier League that you love? 
It brings more pressure when it comes around. You want to practise harder during the week to qualify for. This will be my fourth attempt at it, so hopefully I’ll get the winner’s trophy this year. 

Who do you think our main threat will be? 
I think Liverpool are the favourites. You’ve got teams like Tottenham Hotspur and Crystal Palace as well who will be pretty good.

Liverpool 

Favourite formation in FIFA?

How does it feel to be representing Albion this year on Xbox? 
I’m really happy. It was my main goal this year was to qualify and especially for Brighton which I’m very happy about.  

What do you think our chances are this year in the ePremier League? 
We have the potential to go and win it. I do see us lifting the trophy. 

What is the preparation now for the finals? 
Just to play and practise every day before the tournament. Because I play the PlayStation 5 and Xbox, it’s quite tough to go back and forth so I just need to get used to them. Hopefully on the day me and Marc can turn up.
