One of the trickiest weeks to pick in a long time this, especially as far as goalkeepers go; could arguably have picked any of 10! So I do apologise to all Greek goalkeeper fans out there as both Karzenis and Konstantopoulos would've walked into the TOTW in pretty much every week on FUT14 so far, bar this one. Oh well, if you could remember to leave your suggestions in the comments as well as following myself and FUTWIZ on Twitter and perhaps even sharing this around to your mates, that would be brilliant. Enjoy folks!
Choosing one of the numerous brilliant performances after Liverpool's thrilling 3-2 victory over Manchester City this weekend was near enough impossible so I decided to include two of them; even then I may get both wrong as I have chosen to exclude Raheem Sterling, who was voted Sky Sports' MOTM. The Brazilian Philippe Coutinho scored the winner, a well taken goal after a mistake by City skipper Vincent Kompany and Steven Gerrard was a rock throughout. Not only did he claim the assist for Skrtel's header and use his passion to help lift and carry Liverpool throughout but the emotion he showed at the end was incredible.
Speaking of incredible, Hulk has been in fine form of late for Zenit under new boss AVB and he continued that form at the weekend after bagging a hat-trick in a 4-1 win over FC Krasnodar. He's one of two Russian League players in my Prediction this week, and after two last week and the three imminent from the Most Consistent TOTS's, it's a good time to be a Russian League fan on FUT!
Napoli's Argentine Gonzalo Higuain scored his 15th, 16th and 17th goals of this Serie A season in a 4-2 win over Lazio. Not only will this most certainly earn the striker a SIF card but it also took him to joint 3rd in this season's goal scoring charts. Would be a great TOTS card, no?
