FIFA 21 Team of the Week Prediction: Week 26
Hello and welcome to week 26 of our TOTW Predictions.
Last few weeks been weird. Overall scores are alright, but feel like a lot 5050 didn’t go my way due to different reasons. Should do better, will try to do better too. We’ll see how it goes.
Let’s try to explain what I’ve picked this week. Let’s start with Strikers, shall we. Benzema got 2 goals, 1 assist, insane game for Real Madrid. Felt like he was robbed last week by not getting IF, so this performance should secure him another IF.
Andre Silva had another awesome game for Frankfurt with 2 goals and 1 assist against Union Berlin. Union collapsed in the end of first half and Silva had a massive impact on that game.
Mertens scored 2 really nice goals for Napoli versus Roma, in important battle for UCL spot. Here comes interesting part. He can be excluded due to his Headliner getting an upgrade, but still can’t exclude him from Predictions for that performance.
On the bench I have Cunha for 2 on Kicker vs Bayer. I included him mostly because of his Headliner. Feels like he’ll get an upgrade for that game. If not him- Lukebakio should be instead of him.
Rafa Silva scored and assisted versus Braga in battle for 3rd place in Liga NOS. Trossard scored and assisted versus Newcastle. Sane got 2 assists in 5-0 win over Stuttgart. I think Lewa can’t get into TOTW, and I’ve went with Sane over Gnabry. Felt like Leroy needs an IF. On the left we’ll have Tim Leibold for 2 goals for Hamburg important victory.
Nabil Fekir got 1 insane goal in 2-0 win for Betis over Levante. Verratti got 8 for a game versus Lyon. He was really good, he was controlling the game and was impressive. If defense – Gaya for his game against Granada, Kjaer for 2 assists versus Fiorentina, Clauss for 2 assists in his latest game.
I’ve went with Bono for GK spot for his last minute goal that saved a draw for Sevilla, should be in just for that.
Apart from that – not much to highlight. I’ll answer most of the questions in replies as usual.
Good luck in you reds too!
