FIFA 21 Team of the Week Prediction: Week 5
Welcome to week 5 of our TOTW Predictions powered by Score More With Xbox!
Last week predictions ended up being alright, although there were a few random OTW picks and a surprise in Delaney, let’s see if we can build on that and have a good week 5.
This week was really hard to choose gold players and easy to choose silver players.
Main highlights of the week are: Lewandowski with another 3 goals, Zaha with a goal and assist but really…..I think that’s all! Honestly, there weren’t many good performances in the big leagues, so it’s going to be a case of trying to find some interesting players to feature..
Schmeichel had a good game vs Arsenal, overall goalkeepers performed well in the last Premier League match week – Mendy from Chelsea could make it into the team but I opted for Silva as he’s OTW, he’s not really usable but still he was MOTM. Fabianski has a chance too.
In Bundesliga the 3 league leaders won their games – we’ve already discussed Lewandowski so in addition to him BVB will get an IF, Akanji, Hummels and Guerrero all have a chance. I went with Akanji as his goal was the most important one vs Schalke.
In Serie A we have another possible player from Napoli – Politano registered 2 assists in a win, Luis Alberto was back for Lazio and back with a goal and MOTM performance.
In La Liga, Real won vs Barcelona and surprisingly Lucas Vazquez at right-back was MOTM. We can get Lucas at RB with some interesting stats… Swap with Hakimi in game, anyone?
Paulinho played midweek game and played well with 1 goal and 2 assists. He should be included, but I wouldn’t be surprised if he didn’t end up making it
So yeah, that’s a wrap on this week’s TOTW Prediction, good luck in your reds and packs. Hopefully it’ll be better than I predict.
