FIFA 20 Team of the Week Prediction: Week 5
Hey all, Tillian here and welcome back to our TOTW Predictions powered by Score More With Xbox! Time has flown by and we find ourselves approaching TOTW 5 already.
The international break offers a lot of opportunities for good TOTW and I think this week will deliver it, so hopefully we’re in for a strong TOTW!
Let’s start with some highlights: Robert Lewandowski scored another 3 goals and added 2 assists in 2 games, those 2 wins helped Poland to qualify for EURO 2020 which surely means that he’ll be headlining the TOTW with a 90 rated in-form.
Memphis Depay was very average for most of the game against Northern Ireland but then came back and scored 2 goals in stoppage time to get a crucial win from behind for Netherlands. His team-mate Wijnaldum provided 2 goals vs Belarus and one of the goals was an absolute banger.
Miralem Pjanic scored 2 goals for Bosnia and Herzegovina and was amazing on the pitch, his club-mate Bonucci was in fine form for Italy, he picked up an assist and also helped Italy to a clean sheet.
Maybe we’ll see some OTW Upgrades this week, one that looks the most likely is Hirving Lozano, having scored 2 goals and assisting 1 in Mexico’s game and was rated highly by ESPN. Should be a nice upgrade to one of the fan-favourites!
Ilkay Gundogan scored 2 goals and got 1 assist in a 3-0 win for Germany, an interesting fact for this game: he actually started as a LWB, but after Emre Can was sent off after 10 minutes he moved to CM and controlled the game.
A lot of other good performances and a few players scored 3 goals this week, should be a fun one!
As always, good luck with red picks, hopefully you’ll get one of the better ones
