John Nellis lets Reading's players grade his football skills

A top-corner finish gets the squad's approval, but defending proves rather less flattering in his FC 27 card challenge.

Pro Footballers Decide My FC 27 Rating

John Nellis puts his own football ability up for inspection, and Reading's players deliver a decidedly uneven report card. Shooting looks promising. Stopping anyone else from scoring is another matter.

His new Short, "Pro Footballers Decide My FC 27 Rating", has drawn nearly 400,000 views in its first few hours. This time, the players who featured in his lung-testing adventures get to put him through the tests.

A speed-gun sprint gives Nellis a strong start, followed by a shot into the top corner in front of the watching squad. "The only way's down from here," he says. Passing with Wing and weaving through cones bring more modest marks, before repeated defeats in defensive one-on-ones prompt a player's diplomatic assessment: "You're more of an attacker."

O'Connor handles the gym examination, with weights and an assault bike completing the workout. The squad settles on an overall rating of 85 for Nellis's homemade card. Several viewers are discussing whether that is generous, particularly after the defending.
