14-year-old FIFA professional Anders Vejrgang has set a new world record for consecutive FUT Champions wins by racking up 300 victories with zero losses in FIFA 21.
FUT Champions is an Ultimate Team game mode where the best players battle it out each week, and the Danish wunderkind has been absolutely balling out on anyone unlucky enough to face him.
Each player gets 30 games to play a week, with better rewards given based on how many games you win. It can be tough for anyone to win all 30, as any FIFA player will let you know. Apparently, Anders has had no problem at all though, to say the very least.
The previous record had belonged to Manchester City FIFA pro Shellzz, who went 298-0 before losing his 299th match, so getting a perfect 300 wins and zero losses is certainly a memorable one for the 14-year-old.

The RB Leizpig esports player has been dealing with jealous haters and trolls in the runup to his record-setting win (such is the price of video game fame) and seemed to dedicate his milestone especially to them: “300-0 – new world record. Still no shower, no sunlight, and no Bruno pens for another week, sorry haters.”
Three weeks ago Verjgang hit 210 wins, and hasn’t slowed down since. If you’re wondering about that “Bruno” bit in his Tweet, it’s in reference to a clip that emerged last week of the Dane actually losing the final match of an online tournament to a Bruno Fernandes penalty. It wasn’t FUT Champions match though, so it didn’t count against his streak.

So, what’s the secret that makes this literal child a demigod of FIFA? Well, if you’ve tuned in to any of his streams you’ll know it’s due in part to his Jedi-like mastery of the stepover skill move. Take a look at recent matches against former FIFA world champ Kai ‘Deto’ Wollin, who is over twice Verjgang’s age:
How many stepovers did you count, or did you lose track just like we did? Now, just imagine having to play against a player like that in FUT Champions and you might begin to understand how he managed to get all the way to a world record.
At the time of writing, he’s played in 10 Weekend Leagues and has yet to drop a single match, a pretty ridiculous feat — and that’s before you remember he’s doing this at just 14 years old.
He might have a world record, but it will still be interesting to see how long he can actually keep this streak alive.
