Gorilla
Gorilla, who signed up to UNILAD eSports last year, has to be the main player to watch this year and it’s easy to see why. He’s been tearing up the FIFA competitive scene for a good while now and aside from being a 6x Gfinity champion and the UK eSports Player of the Year for 2017, he also managed to win the FIWC last year too. Gorilla is officially the best FIFA player on the planet right now, and you can only imagine him coming back stronger this year too in order to defend his crown.
Kurt0411
Kurt is the self-proclaimed best FIFA player in the world and while he may not have so far proved himself at LAN events, he is certainly regarded as one of the finest players out there. He’s got a superb record on the Gfinity network and is regularly scene destroying opponents in Weekend League. This could really be the year Kurt delivers on the main stage as he’s due to appear in Barcelona for the FUT Champions Cup at the end of the month.
Dragonn
Dragonn is a FIFA player everybody in the competitive scene will have heard of. He’s been runner up at the FIWC twice and regularly excels in Gfinity tournaments too. Gorilla put his success at the FIWC 2017 down to the coaching he received from Dragonn, his friend and coach, but now the former West Ham eSports player is looking to once again prove himself as one of the best FIFA players out there. He’s teamed up with eSports stable Lightening Pandas and 2018 could be the year of the Dragonn for sure.
MegaBit98
MegaBit is a player who has been in and around the FIFA eSports scene for a good while now, and in that time has been making steady progress. 2017 was the year MegaBit really announced himself as one of the ones to watch, after an astonishing run saw him qualify for the FUT Champions Cup as world number 1 on Xbox; after winning 160 games without defeat. MegaBit, who is the official player for VFL Bochum, also continues to impress PlayStation too and many are tipping the FIWC 8th place finisher to enjoy a great 2018.
Shellzz
Shellzz, like Gorilla, is a member of the UNILAD eSports stable and he’s certainly going to be a player to look out for in 2018. Last year he managed to enjoy a superb winning streak that saw him win 160 games without defeat, and he ended the year as the FIFA 17 Ultimate Team Championship runner up. His has one of the best records on console right now and while 2017 may have been huge for Shellzz, 2018 is set to be a lot bigger and it would be no surprise to see him winning tournaments over the next 12 months.
