FIFA 21 Team of the Week Prediction: Week 7
Time for week 7 of our TOTW Predictions powered by Score More With Xbox!
Last week ended up being pretty good accuracy wise so lets see if we can carry that momentum into Week 7, it has been a very interesting week with some real standout performances.
It’s been a fun one to predict, many of the choices were between players who scored 3 goals and not 1 goal and 1 assist like the last few weeks, so this way we’ll get less surprise picks where people wouldn’t understand the selection.
First of all, let’s cover the hyped players who can get into TOTW: it’s probably no surprise that Bruno Fernandes is the first player in my prediction, he was on fire against Everton with 2 goals and 1 assist, although he wasn’t actually named the official MOTM (Maguire was given it), Bruno should get into TOTW.
Angel Di Maria was player of the week in Ligue 1, 2 goals and 1 assist in a 3-0 victory should be enough, although he was included in the Rulebreakers Promo. Same goes with Marcos Llorente, who got 1 goal and 1 assist in 4-0 win. Felix got MOTM with 2 goals and 1 assist but he won’t make it due to his inclusion in TOTW last week.
Thiago Silva may finally get his deserved OTW upgrade. He scored 1 goal in a 4-1 win and even though Chelsea conceded he had a really good game. He’s due an upgrade already so this week should secure it. Ollie Watkins scored another 2 goals vs a top team. 2 goals should secure him a SIF this week and it may surprise as a really strong meta item.
Apart from that – I can’t find many players that would get into teams right now, maybe Casteels will be a nice option for a Belgian goalkeeper, a rating of 1.5 on Kicker for a game vs Hoffenheim with a pen save should be enough.
Rest of the picks don’t need an explanation in my opinion, so let’s move to them. And as always – good luck with your reds.
