Another solid score of 17/23 for TOTW34 - some good performances this week *should* see is safely into the sort of ballpark for TOTW35! Fingers crossed...
It's unusual to have two players from the Saudi Pro League in a Team of the Week, despite the fact it's one of the most popular and best supported leagues on FIFA 16. However, this week it's hard to ignore the performances of Omar Al-Soma and Yasser Al-Qahtani scored scored eight goals between them over the weekend! Syrian striker Al-Soma scored four for Al-Ahli in a 5-2 win, whilst Saudi footballing legend Al-Qahtani also scored four!
Back in Europe and I had a problem. Very recently of course it was the community chosen "Most Consistent" Team of the Season and released as part of the gold side was Bryan Ruiz. Obviously buoyed by his special item, Ruiz was in fantastic form in Sporting CP's 5-0 win over Vitoria Setubal, scoring twice and assisting another. However, is he going to get another (pointless) special item so soon? I think not, which is why I've opted for Gelson Martins. The Portuguese winger, like the Costa Rican, also scored twice, and also received the same matching rating as Ruiz, so why not? He looks like a cracking player too!
Oh, and despite the fact the Ligue 1 Team of the Season hasn't hit packs yet, we're only one player off of being able to make a full in-form (with players in the correct positions) Paris-Saint Germain side. Edinson Cavani is the latest to receive a special item, this one at left wing; only a central midfielder to go...
