What did I get last week, 15 I think it was? Average - thankfully this week appears to be relatively routine in terms of selection and thus I'm expecting to hit the high-teens. Watch me not make it into double figures...
I don’t mean to upset anyone
However, the chances are, if you’re a fan of a Premier League or a Liga BBVA club, I may have upset you in some way. Unless you’re a Chelsea fan of course, because they don’t feel emotions. Only greed. Moving on, the two most popular leagues on FUT both had two match-days over the past week which only meant one thing. Well, to put it bluntly, the Premier League could’ve had a TOTW on it’s own. I apologise to the likes of David de Gea, Aaron Ramsey, Dimitri Payet, Jermain Defoe, Roberto Firmino and Olivier Giroud because, on most weeks, you would have a good chance of being decked out with a special item come Wednesday. This week however… not so much. The same applies for a good four or five La Liga players; I only had room for one stat-padding Real Madrid player this week, in the form of full-back Daniel Carvajal. I’m afraid my Team of the Week “shortlist” was more of an essay - not that the selection I’ve come up with is poor by any stretch.
No TOTY? No problem
Is what Luis Suarez may have been thinking to himself as Barcelona faced Athletic Bilbao. Sergio Busquets may have also been thinking the same, as both the Spaniard and the aforementioned Uruguayan were magnificent in their 6-0 demolition of Athletic. Sure, they were aided by Iraizoz’ dismissal in the early stages after a foul on Suarez, however the Catalan club were still in sparkling form. There’s no debating who the star of the night was, with Suarez scoring a hat-trick and also registering an assist. Who needs a blue item on FUT anyways?
