Last year, his Pro Clubs series was one of the most popular series on Twitch. After setting up a team called Girth N Turf FC with a group of other streamers, footballers and celebrities, his videos began to go viral. The team treated it like football role play, with each player taking on the role and persona of a footballer in a team. Their fun and unique approach made for some of the funniest EA Sports FC content in years.
Tens of thousands of people tuned into his streams, catapulting Ginge to stardom and seeing the popularity of the Pro Clubs mode rise rapidly.
The other staple of Morgan's FC 26 content is his Road to Glory series. Much like any similar series, Road to Glory sees him try to make the best team without spending a penny on the game's micro transactions.
This year, he's focused on ex-RB Leipzig player Benjamin Sesko, trying to build a team around him. While the videos are a good example of how to efficiently run an FC 26 club, he focused on entertainment. The videos are fast paced, funny and focus on the silly moments from Ginge's streams.
In a similar vein, Ginge also releases a lot of pack-opening videos. They showcase what you can get from buying packs in the game and make for perfect short-form content.

Angry Ginge is heading down under

He's out in Australian outback to be a camp-mate in I’m a Celebrity Get Me Out of Here! He’d said goodbye in a video on his YouTube channel, telling his loyal stream viewers that he'll be back in a few short weeks.
