FIFA 19 TOTW 1 confirmed: FUT Team of the Week revealed – Hazard, Xhaka, Payet, Werner
FIFA 19 – EA Sports have announced the first FIFA 19 FUT Team of the Week ahead of the FIFA Web App launch, so who has made the squad?
FIFA 19 gamers will soon be able to get their hands on the very first FUT Team of the Week after EA Sports announced the 23-man squad this afternoon.
The Ultimate Team reveal comes in advance of the FIFA 19 Web App launch, set to go live later this evening.
The app will allow players to start building their FUT squads before the actual game gets released on September 28.
And eager gamers will be able to find a host of top class talent, including four Premier League stars, in packs when the Team of the Week gets released into the transfer market.
Eden Hazard is unsurprisingly included following his blistering hat-trick against Cardiff, with the Chelsea man handed an impressive 92 rating.
Granit Xhaka’s stunning strike against Newcastle has also earned him a place in the team while Andriy Yarmolenko’s double for West Ham against Everton has boosted the Ukranian up to 83.
Bournemouth winger Ryan Fraser was in fine form with two goals and an assist against Leicester but can’t displace Dimitri Payet from the starting XI after the Frenchman played a starring role in Marseille’s 4-0 win over Guingamp.
Elsewhere, Timo Werner makes the cut after a brace against Hannover and Napoli centre-back Kalidou Koulibaly anchors the defence – but which players will you try and get hold of?
