[Sunday 29/010/2019, Location: Cologne Bonn Airport]
In one of the Business suits at Bonn Airport, the figures of the Leverkusen squad can be seen relaxing as they wait for their flight. It had already arrived but in the final checks something concerning was discovered and the team opted to wait for a new plane. The airline company the team had chartered tried to convince them that it was just something minor and they could still fly after some repairs.
However, head coach Bosz was taking no chances with a squad valued at 620 million. Simon Rolfes, the team’s managing director gave him a thumbs-up when he heard this. He made sure to complain to the charter company and use his connection to call a second reliable partner to facilitate his team’s travel.
The Brazilian players and those from poorer backgrounds were the happiest with this decision. Most of them had taken their first flight due to playing football and wouldn’t take any chances with their safety. As a matter of fact, Paulinho and Wendell had been in the process of trying to convince their teammates to march if they didn’t get a safer flight.
Anyway, with the flight arrangement being sorted out the players looked much more relaxed as they did their best to entertain themselves. One of them managed to get their hands on a PlayStation after bribing the airport staff and now hosted a FIFA tournament. Rakim, who was doing his best to overcome the upset of the century which was losing to Paulinho, was at this moment nursing his sports drink.
"Who told you to play with yourself in the game when you know they sold you badly," Paulinho said with a bright smile still enjoying his hard-fought victory. He had chosen to go with Leverkusen whilst Rakim chose Celic for the sole reason FIFA hadn’t bothered to update his move in the game.
If it was only that he wouldn’t mind but they only gave him 3-star skill moves, 64 speed, 67 Acceleration, 70 finishing, and 84 Dribbling. Safe to say he felt heavily violated when he saw this, especially since he only found out today. This whole time he had believed that he wasn’t in the game since he barely played 3 months last season.
So, it was only natural that he didn’t even bother getting the game, however now he felt insulted looking at his character. They didn’t even bother giving him proper processing power when creating his player. The guy literally was a light-skinned guy with dreads tied in a ponytail and don’t get me started on the face.
"(sigh) I’m surprised that my fans haven’t found this and started roasting me," Rakim replied before deciding to post on his Twitter which like every other celebrity he only used to complain or throw shade.
[@Rex22: Honestly @EASportsFifa This is borderline criminal. Does anyone know if I can sue them for Defamation, my mama can’t even recognize whoever this is supposed to be not even minding the stats. #EAWhy #WhyMe]
No sooner had he posted and some sharp-eyed members of the RexNation, who just so happen to be keyboard warriors picked it up. For his own mental health, Rakim decided to not stick around in cyberspace to see the dumpster fire he had just lit.
Like him, most of his fans hadn’t expected him to already be in this game. Those who did end up packing him didn’t recognize him and would simply quick sell most bronze cards. Thus, given the fact the game had only reached their consoles yesterday, they were yet to catch him lacking in the game.

@Rex4GoldenBoot: "64 speed? Did they watch him burn defenders last season or nah? FIFA really doesn’t rate ballers from the Scottish League smh."
@BiggestOp: @StoneColdBruce How can you even type that with a straight face, can you lot even play football with a skirt over there in Scotland? As for Rakim, the kid needs to sit down not everyone can be like my boy Mateo doing bits.

@DeadlyDribblez: "64 speed for Rakim? EA must be trolling. The man’s faster than my Wi-Fi connection and they did him like this? Unreal. #FIFAFlop"
@FIFAProTips: "Bruh, not only did they nerf Rakim’s stats, but they also made him look like he’s fresh out of Sims 2. EA, we gotta talk."
@RexNationLoyal: "64 speed, 67 acceleration... EA’s really out here pretending Rakim didn’t smoke defenders all throughout this month. Imagine watching football and still being this wrong, Like the boy had had grown men on their knees questioning life choices.
@VougeScout: Ahem Mr Rex upon further consideration we must resend our offer for you to model in our next magazine. This decision was made carefully upon a lot of consideration and has nothing to do with your Shrek... (ahem) magnificent FIFA avatar.
@TrollingOutLoud: @VougeScout I’m so dead, you have my respect as a fellow practitioner of the troll arts.
@VougeScout: @TrollingOutLoud what do you mean by trolling... Oh S$it yall for get you saw this this isn’t the company email.
@HollywoodJanitor: (Ahem) Have yall seen the new She-Hulk I promise you it’s the best thing since sliced bread. Oh, by the way, I heard that Aquaman is releasing a limited edition collector DVD with extended content so get your extra 30 minutes worth of content.
-_-
:/
:)
@ProClubKingz: "Rakim’s FIFA stats look like they let the janitor take over the player ratings. Someone explain how this man has 84 dribbling but moves like he’s in quicksand?"
@FIFAOverload: "It’s not just Rakim, let’s talk about EA disrespecting the entire Scottish League. Why does every player move like their controller died mid-game?"
@EA_Hater_101: "EA every year: ’This is the most realistic FIFA ever.’ Also, EA: gives players stats that look like they were picked at random by a drunk intern. #FixYourGame"
@SweatyGoals45: "Rakim’s player design is the least of FIFA’s problems. Have y’all tried playing Career Mode? It’s like they’re daring us to uninstall."
@CouchManagers: "42 Jump Rakim is deadass lacking, but can we talk about how every defender in FIFA 19 is apparently prime Harry Maguire? My Sunday league team defends better than this.

Back in the airport lounge, Paulinho couldn’t stop laughing as the memes rolled in. Since they followed each other and were teammates the algorithm did its thing despite Rakim having left the app. "Bro, not sure if your fans are supporting you or simply throwing oil to the fire." he cackled, showing Rakim yet another meme where his FIFA player was photoshopped into a lineup of random NPC characters.
Wendell leaned over with his phone, grinning. "Yo, this one’s got you looking like a character from GTA San Andreas. They even gave you a fake name: Rakeem Rexington."
Rakim groaned, but even he couldn’t hold back a chuckle as he proceeded to pick up his phone once firing off a new tweet. ["(Tweet Tweet) @Rex22: @RexNation Someone link me up with Saul and tell him I might have a job for him -_-!"
