Goals. And the opportunity to watch the best players play the game.
What would it mean to you to win the ePL?
It would mean a lot for me to win the ePremier League and bring a trophy home to Crystal Palace.
What formation and style of play do you adopt in-game usually?
I play a free-flowing 4-4-2 formation. I enforce a high-pressing system in order to score lots of goals early and then once in the lead, revert to more defensive tactics to see the game out.
