    Here is how Sidemen FC and the YouTube All Stars were rated in Saturday’s charity match
    xQc had a shocker for the YouTube Allstars
    His rating was the worst ever on FotMob
    Manny was the man of the match
    The Canadian streamer had a lot to live up to after he had slammed Cal the Dragon’s performance in goal for the YouTube Allstars last year.
    xQc – real name Félix Lengye – himself had a mare in between the sticks as he saw eight goals fly into the goal.
    His lack of ability to defend the goal even led commentator Spencer Owen to joke: “Statistically speaking they’d have scored less if he wasn’t there.”
    His final rating was 0.3 out of 10, which was considerably worse than Cal the Dragon’s 2.1 last year.

    To make matters worse for xQc the rating is the worst ever recorded on FotMob.

    Manny’s prolific nature in front of goal saw him awarded with an impressive 9.7 rating.
    IShowSpeed saw his chances to boost his rating fail as he missed an open goal and a penalty saved by KSI.
