FIFA 21 Team of The Week Predictions: Week 25
Hello and welcome to week 25 of our TOTW Predictions.
Last week we finally got some decent result, but as I’ve said – few 5050s were in predictions and they didn’t go my way. Overall was pretty satisfied with that, so let’s try something like that again.
Will try to explain most of my picks right now. Let’s start with Strikers: Went with Benzema for 2 clutch goals and 3 stars on Marca – another upgrade for Headliner? It would make his HL card 95 rated and it’d look very gooood.
Also chose Ronaldo, but it’s really 5050. They can exclude him easily, but I couldn’t exclude him with 3 goals in 1 game, so if he’ll miss on TOTW – it’d be fair (because of 2-3 week rule). But still – perfect hat-trick and pack seller hard to exclude.
3rd striker this week – Wout Weghorst. Very good performance of Wout versus Schalke 0-5 (lul) with 1 goal and 2 assists and should be in TOTW too. Moving straight to Bundesliga midfielder option – I went with Muller for 2 goals versus Werder Bremen and 2 on Kicker. That should make Muller 89 rated IF. Other midfielders are: Gerard Moreno with 2 assists for Villarreal in 3-1 win and 3* from Marca, Luis Alberto with goal and great performance versus Crotone. Other option is Mislav Orsic with 2 goals and 1 assist in 5-0 win. Problem with Orsic and Moreno: they got MOTMs not so long ago, so both can be excluded. We’ll see what will happen.
In defense – I went with Cancelo with his performance against Fulham, with Fonte with his perfromance against Monaco and with Tagliafico with 1 goal and CS in their games. Goalkeepers were easier to choose: I went with Soria for his insane performance against Atletico Madrid and with Gikiewicz for his performance against Monchengladbach in Bundesliga.
Bench – some 5050 picks. Went with 2 Liga Nos players from Porto and Benfica. Sergio Oliveira had a very nice game and Diogo Goncalves got 2 assists for Benfica from RB spot. Gomis scored 3 goals, Kamano scored 2 nice goals for Lokomotiv in important game in RPL, Onyekeru scored 2 goals for Galatasaray.
That’s probably it. Hopefully I explained more to you this week and it’ll help you understand my decisions.
Good luck with your reds and packs!
