FIFA 22 Team of the Week Prediction: Week 2
2nd week of FUT 22 is here and TOTW looking better than first one already. Apart from it being first week of full game, there’s also an OTW promo and already 1 card may get an upgrade!
Very decent week of football. A lot of midweek games that helped make this TOTW way better than I expected at first. Let’s go down the list and highlight the players I’ve included.
Most meta full-backs in FUT performed well midweek: Theo got 1g and 1a in 2-0 win over Venezia, Hakimi scored 2 goals for PSG.
Zakaria got MOTM for a game vs BVB, scored a nice goal and controlled the game. Overall – not many highlights in Bundesliga this week – Bayern wasn’t as dominant as always, BVB lost, Bayer won only 1-0, so I’ve chosen only Zakaria. Oh, and Nkunku who got 2 goals and 1 assist in 6-0 demolishing of Hertha.
In PL – it’s different. Emi Martinez performed well for Villa vs United and kept CS, Bruno missed a pen. But Hause can get it instead of him, as he scored an only goal in game. Couldn’t find a player from City – possibly Jesus, but didn’t seem like it was a TOTW worthy performance. Overall top teams didn’t perform well this weekend, but we can see someone from Arsenal from London derby which Arsenal won 3-1. I’ve chosen ESR, because thought he was most impactful and had 1g and 1a.
In Serie A – Felipe Anderson performed for Lazio (aka Latium) vs Roma (aka Roma FC) and should get one nice IF. Osimhen played well in both games and he playing really well, as a whole Napoli too.
Asensio was MOTM in 6-1 midweek win for Real Madrid and scored 3 goals vs Mallorca, should get an IF.
A lot of good performances in Ligue 1, but nothing exceptional apart from Hakimi. Also included Fofana for 8 from Lequipe vs Marseille and 8 from Costil vs Rennes, who kept point for Bordeaux.
Overall TOTW looking decent and my choice for Featured TOTW is probably Osimhen. Or Zakaria. One of those 2 would be great and would make their cards even better!
Good luck in packs and may you pack one of those meta full-backs if they’ll get IF.
