FIFA 16 Team of the Week Prediction: Week 39

Post time 07/06/2016 05:14pm 07/06/2016 05:14pm by fifaRAWR | Predictions


Apologies for no prediction last week, was slightly out of my control; should be returning to action from now on though!

Whilst the majority of media attention is on Euro 2016 in France which commences on Friday, the Copa America is also taking place in the United States. Beginning at the weekend, it's already thrown up what I believe to be five potential in-form items! Three of these are centre-backs; Colombia's Christian Zapata and Mexico's Rafa Marquez both scored in their respective nations victories in their opening ground matches, whilst Paraguay's Gustavo Gomez was named the official MOTM after a 0-0 draw against Costa Rica.

This weeks more attacking options from the Copa America are Blas Perez of Panama, who scored twice in a 2-1 victory over Bolivia, as well as this week's star man, Angel di Maria, who scored once and assisted another in a 2-1 win over a Chile. The Argentina and PSG winger was also named man of the match over the likes of Ever Banega, who did in-fact match di Maria's contribution on paper, therefore also has a chance of receiving a special item this Wednesday.

Enjoy Folks! #PACKPARTY
