After a wild, high volume period of special squad and card releases, it’d be reasonable to expect a bit of a regression to the mean in terms of high demand, interesting new ones available on the market. Think again.
Raising the bar on last week’s Team of the Week, TOTW 21 features, as widely expected, an upgrade to OTW Gabriel Jesus, his first IF of FIFA 17 following a game winner at the death in a two goal performance, plus another upgrade to Everton striker Romelo Lukaku, after his hat-trick afternoon. At this point, the only real question is how high Lukaku’s Team of the Year will be rated.
Probably intriguing to many will be the 87 rated LM for Manchester United’s Henrikh Mkhitaryan. The Armenian helped United to a resounding 3-0 win over defending champs Leicester City Sunday at the King Power Stadium. A second inform for BVB staple Sokratis Papastathopoulos will also pique the interest of Bundesliga squad builders.
Here’s the complete FIFA 17 Ultimate Team TOTW 21:
