Double Tap Builds an Ultimate Team with Matty FC, Melu Bertetti and EA Sports at the FC27 Launch

EA Sports is launching its newest edition of the game, and Double Tap's Matty FC and Melu Bertetti were in Brooklyn for the reveal.

EA Sports held its FC27 launch party in Brooklyn, unveiling the game's biggest new features in front of creators and a global live audience. The livestream drew 2.6 million viewers as EA showed off the updates players have been waiting for since the last release. FC27 puts more focus on building a football identity beyond the match itself, exactly the space Double Tap's creators know best.

Matty FC: expertise and reach

Matty FC has built an audience of 1.8 million followers across TikTok, Instagram and YouTube, combining football knowledge with a sharp, likeable on-camera style. His World Cup content alone brought in 250k new Instagram followers.

Melu Bertetti: storytelling that keeps audiences hooked

Joining him is Melu Bertetti, one of the most recognisable names in football content, with a combined 4.5 million followers across TikTok, YouTube and Instagram. Her content mixes football's best highlights with lesser-known moments from the sport's history, giving her audience a blend of nostalgia and discovery that keeps them coming back.

A launch-night trio

Matty and Melu were joined by Rodri Cabral, a rising name in the football creator space and part of Double Tap's team for the event. Together, the three represented exactly what EA wanted in the room for the FC27 reveal.

2.6 million viewers watched the launch live. Double Tap was there in the middle of it.
