Matt Prior hasn't only been discussing the chances of Fortnite emotes being included in FIFA 19, he's also been busy telling the media that Alex Hunter's time in the sun will come to an end this year. Yes, The Journey 3 will be Hunter's swan song, but EA are unlikely to give up on the mode altogether.

In the same interview, Prior said, "The Journey’s been a massive success, so it’d be great to continue that and obviously with the Champions League as the main narrative focus". That sounds tasty, and it hints that a new character will burst onto the scene as Alex bows out towards the end of 19's story.

That character is one some fans predict will be the new face of The Journey.

EA are just starting to find their feet with the narrative mode, and it's time they let players customise their own star. Maybe that'll be the big reveal this year? Some on Twitter seem to think so, and Prior's comments certainly suggest The Journey is going nowhere.
