Fifa with friends: how to set up your own video game sports tournament

Euro 2020 postponed, Wimbledon cancelled, baseball's opening day delayed: the coronavirus pandemic has decimated the sporting calendar. Fortunately, if you're missing the competitive zeal of live sports, multiplayer games such as Fifa 20 enable fans to create their own tournaments – providing both distraction therapy, and the chance to beat your sister to the Premier League title. Here are five recommended multiplayer sports sims, and how to set them up for fierce, sofa-based competition. One of Fifa's great strengths is its options for offline tournament play. There are 63 competitions included, such as the English FA Cup and German DFB-Pokal. If you live with 19 other people you can even set up an entire Premier League season, with every club human-controlled.
