This pro football player is out to prove he’s better than his terrible FIFA 19 rating

Kevin Ellison is a midfielder for Morecambe F.C., a League Two team in Lancashire. If you’re an entirely soccer - I mean football-ignorant American like me, that means the team is essentially fourth tier. Morecambe’s not an especially notable team, but its players - including Ellison - are all fully represented in FIFA 19. But Ellison’s in-game pace rating is worse than all of his teammates, and he’s out to prove that speed score wrong. Ellison’s pace rating is a fairly abysmal 35, and the 39-year-old pro doesn’t feel that matches reality. “I think that’s a bit unfair,” he tells Boston public radio station WBUR. “I think there’s a bit of ageism there, where they've gone against me 'cause I'm nearly 40.” Back in November, Ellison partnered with the team’s social media guy to put out a video. “We wear GPS monitors every day in training to tell us how fast we're running - the coverage, the kilometers we run. We get the scores put up daily.” That video has Ellison boast faster real-life speeds than any of his teammates who have better FIFA ratings.
