Alex Hunter is a 17-year-old male from Clapham, London. Hunter’s grandfather is former English striker Jim Hunter, who scored 22 goals in the 1968–69 season. Under his grandfather’s guidance, Hunter’s life goal is to play as a footballer in the Premier League. During a football match between two young teams, one of which features Hunter and his best friend, Gareth Walker, after a penalty shoot-out in which either Hunter or Walker scores the winning penalty, a scout remarks about Alex Hunter’s talent to Jim Hunter. Seven years later, Alex Hunter and Gareth Walker take on the exit trial which can be failed depending on how Alex Hunter performs. If the player fails they will have to redo the exit trial. If they succeed then Hunter signs for a Premier League club. Hunter soon learns that Walker has joined the same club.
Both players attend the club’s pre-season tour of the United States, where they play against Real Madrid, Borussia Dortmund and Paris Saint-Germain. In the regular season, after starting most games as a substitute, Alex Hunter is loaned out to one of Newcastle United, Aston Villa, or Norwich City as a result of the major signing of either Harry Kane or Ángel Di María by Alex’s parent club. When Hunter gets loaned out he is reunited with Danny Williams who also participated in the exit trial despite already being offered a pro contract. The two get close in Hunter’s loan spell and quickly become close friends. When Hunter is recalled by his parent club he immediately finds out that Gareth Walker is heading to their rivals.
After returning from loan, Hunter is able to receive sponsorship deals from Adidas, each deal being received whenever Hunter hits a milestone number of followers in the Twitter-based social media menu of the game mode. The deals include new boots, a photoshoot, and the chance to appear in an Adidas advertisement alongside Di María. After a successful season in the starting eleven, Hunter gets to start in the final of the FA Cup, in which he faces Gareth Walker for the second time since his departure from the club. Before the game, Hunter and Walker encounter in the tunnel. Regardless of the result, Walker and Hunter shake hands after the game and they become reconciled. Later, in Hunter’s flat, Hunter discovers that he has been named to the list of likely players to be called up to the England national team.
