EAFC 25: Team of The Week Predictions - Week 18
Hello and welcome to Team of the Week Predictions for Week 18. Another week without a lot of big teams playing, without PL and without lower English Leagues. But despite that there’re some great performances and players over the weekend.
A lot of Women performances in top leagues, like Rolfo with 1 goal and 1 assist in 6-0 win or Tere Abelleira with 2 goals and 1 assist in another 6-0 win. Barcelona continues cruising through the league, but Real Madrid putting in fight and not so far behind, only losing to Barcelona.
Apart from that Bundesliga is back and I’m happy: I’ve included Olise for his strong performance vs Monchengladbach despite not recording goals or assists to his name, Burkardt from Mainz actually playing amazingly this season and scored another 2 goals this weekend, Xabi Simons is back from the injury and scored 2 goals in his first game.
In La Liga 4 clubs battled for Supercup and that’s why League is a bit dull. Still, Soria saved Getafe and moved them up in a table with 2-1 win, Lenglet assisted Alvarez in 14th straight win for Atletico Madrid and that’s probably it.
In Saudi League 2 players performed above the rest: Renan Lodi scored and assisted in 5-0 win for Al Hilal and Sadio Mane got 2 goals in 3-1 win for Al Nassr. Should be fun cards.
In Serie A there were a lot of draws and not many big results, so I went with Darmian who scored the only goal in 1-0 win over Venezia and Zambo Anguissa who scored 1 out of 2 goals for league leaders Napoli.
In Ligue 1 there is Ousmane Dembele who plays fantastically and scored another 2 goals in 2-1 win and carrying PSG to another title, Laborde got 2 goals for Nice in 4-2 win.
Overall, not many big names, but there should be some decent cards. TOTY is coming this week or next week and main focus will be on it.
