It’s Team of the Week Wednesday and EA has given us a lot of talking points with this crop of in-forms. While TOTW 13 isn’t loaded with superstars, it is heavy on useful players who could ravage teams in the Weekend League.
The two most desirable cards for FUT Champions enthusiasts have to be the IF Jordi Alba and the IF Jamie Vardy. Both players already have great base cards. Their in-forms should be even better. Expect to come up against Vardy even more now with his 95 pace.
This TOTW also offers us the first Hero Card of FIFA 17, as well. Stefan Frei of the Seattle Sounders gets the honor for his amazing performance in MLS Cup 2016. His miraculous save of Jozy Altidore helped keep the match scoreless in Extra Time and his penalty heroics helped Seattle win their first MLS Cup in franchise history.
Gonzalo Higuain gets yet another special card, meaning his Ones to Watch will now get a bump up to 90 rated if you’re lucky enough to have one.
