Peterborough United defender up against a FIFA pro in big cup tie

Bennett is representing Posh in the inaugural #UltimateQuaranteam FIFA 20 Tournament in a first round tie against Exeter City.

Now Exeter might play a division below Posh in the real world, but in this competition the Grecians are represented by a professional E-Gamer ‘Scultpaa.’

Bennett likes FIFA, but he also has a life.

Bennett has made controversial team selections including picking himself and leaving out in-form Siriki Dembele in favour of Mo Eisa.

Apparently his selections are based on FIFA game statistics.

The match is six minutes real-time per half. If it’s a draw they will replay until there’s a winner. No extra time or penalties.

On loan George Cooper’s match for Plymouth last night went to a fourth replay before the Posh man was defeated.

Bennett said: “I am looking forward to facing Exeter tonight in the first round of the tournament. It will be a huge task against a professional FIFA player, but I will give 100% and hopefully it will be a good game to watch. Come on The Posh!”

Leyton Orient have organised the tournament between 128 clubs worldwide with the aim of raising £100k for charity. They are already halfway towards that total.
