In light of the recent postponement of all professional English football matches, Leyton Orient decided to host a 64-team knockout-style FIFA 20 tournament.
However, since then the competition has exploded, with over 100 professional teams being represented in the tournament. Crystal Palace have signed up to take part in the games, with Andros Townsend representing the Eagles.
When the winger tweeted out that he was taking part in the tournament, Palace fans wished him luck. They are counting on him to bring the trophy home.
With the Eagles in such fine form back in the real world, winning their last three games, it is no surprise to see that the fans are in such high spirits.
Get in Andros!!! ??????

What do we think?
In 15 Premier League games this season, Townsend has scored one goal and recorded one assist. He is also the club’s 16th-best performing player this season, with a WhoScored rating of 6.61/10.
Hopefully, for Townsend, his performances in this tournament are better than that of his real-life ones.
