New week and new predictions for the FIFA 22 TOTW 21 Team of the Week. As usual, EA will offer new IF cards based on the results of the best players from the past week. The novelty for FIFA 22 obviously lies in the presence of a Featured card, put forward by EA, which will give a double boost to a card 80 and below. We therefore present to you our predictions for the new cards which will be available in the packs from Wednesday at 7 p.m.
The gardians
Manuel Neuer, Bayern Munich, Bundesliga
If Bayern Munich conceded two goals in their duel against RB Leipzig, their goalkeeper Manuel Neuer was named player of the match. It must be said that the German veteran had a great match, ensuring the championship leader a very important victory for the title race.
Sergio Herrera, Ossasuna, La Liga
Although it is always difficult to predict the goalkeepers in the different Teams of the Week, Sergio Herrera is expected to be selected by EA. The goalkeeper did everything to bring a point to his team, notably by stopping a penalty against Sevilla.
Defender Predictions
Pau Torres, Villarreal, La Liga
TOTW regular Pau Torres could therefore be back following Villarreal’s 2-0 victory. The Spanish defender scored a goal in addition to maintaining his goalscoring invincibility, a big positive for EA.
Jordi Alba, FC Barcelona, La Liga
What a goal for Alba and what a great victory for FC Barcelona. If it remains a little early to talk about the “return of Barca”, the performance of Jordi Alba is to be noted with in particular a very beautiful goal at the start of the match. If Alves was omnipresent, the Brazilian veteran was expelled, leaving the place free for the Spanish veteran.
Midfielders
Marco Asensio, Real Madrid, La Liga
Real Madrid got very hot against Granada as the league leaders won by the narrowest of margins. Madrid secured all three points thanks to a goal from Marco Asensio, who should get his first FIFA 22 TOTW card there.
Danielo Pereira, PSG, Ligue 1
Sacred match for Pereira and PSG against Lille since the leaders of the French championship crushed the defending champions. Among the scorers, we note the two goals of Portuguese midfielder Danielo Pereira, who has distinguished himself as one of the best players of the week on the side of Ligue 1.
Which Attackers in TOTW 21?
Anderson Talisca, Al-Nassr, Saudi Arabia
Usually shunned by EA, Talisca had obtained a first TOTW some time ago, allowing him to climb to 86 in OTW version. The Brazilian player, author of two goals and an assist, could now have obtained a third improvement if EA rewards him for this new good performance.
Arkadiusz Milik, OM, Ligue 1
Typically, a striker with a hat-trick will be selected by EA to be included in the Team of the Week. So, with three goals scored in OM’s 5-2 win, Milik should definitely feature in this TOTW 21.
FIFA 22 Feature Card of the Week
Jonathan Tah, Leverkusen, Bundesliga
One of the big new features of FUT mode on FIFA 22 is to implement a Featured card in the Team of the Week. For the TOTW 21, our choice is Jonathan Tah. The German defender was one of the key players in Leverkusen’s big win over Dortmund, which should secure a place in this Team of the Week.
How to get TOTW cards in FIFA 22?
TOTW cards are often interesting at high level but also for DCEs as well as to achieve specific objectives in friendly match mode. Therefore, even on players whose overall rating would be quite low, it is necessary to know how to get these TOTW cards on FIFA 22.
The first source is obviously the transfer market, where you can find a player’s TOTW cards in the special versions of their cards. Be careful, however, because the IF cards sell for much more than the basic version.
A second source remains the game’s Gold packs, which have these special cards for one week (from Wednesday to the following Wednesday at 7 p.m.). So be careful because once this week is over, it will be impossible to drop them in packs.
Additionally, Team of the Week cards can be obtained as FUT Champion (WL) rewards based on your rank. If this year, the rewards could change since it will be possible to obtain your packs at the end of all your matches (rather than on Thursday), EA should not remove the presence of the TOTW cards.
Finally, specific TOTW Packs will be present during the DCE season, even if these are often unprofitable because they are totally random.
Investments related to TOTW predictions on FIFA 22
If the cards of the players selected in the Team of the week are often good sources of investment, it is also possible to earn credits via the TOTW. Indeed, there are several methods to speculate on the market.
So, the easiest and regular way is to bet on the normal Gold cards of the current TOTW players. These are not present in the packs during the week, limiting the quantity of cards. If a player is looking to use these cards for DCEs or for their team, the prices can spike a lot. So buy the cards in anticipation of this rise, speculating on TOTW’s predictions. This technique will mostly work in the early months of the game, until around the end of December.
In addition, another method is to analyze future good TOTW cards and thus speculate on the cards related to them. For example, if Haaland receives a Team of the Week card, it’s likely players will be looking to incorporate him into their FUT roster. Thus, they will also seek to link this new card with other Bundesliga players, Dortmund players or even Norwegian players in order to create the best possible links. It is therefore possible to invest in cards allowing perfect links, just before the release of the new Team of the week. This technique will come in handy with the release of special maps later in the season, until around mid-March, before which time Team of the Week starts to look less interesting on FIFA 22.
Note that these two strategies require good anticipation of the market, but also finding the right timing. Often the cards to buy go up quickly, so you need to plan ahead who to buy. Also, this bull run won’t last long, so it’s necessary to play for a few days and quickly sell your cards.
So much for our predictions of the players of the new FIFA 22 TOTW 21 team of the week. If as often EA will seek to muddy the waters by selecting profiles a little more obscure, we are confident that the majority of the players listed above will be available as a special card from the launch of FIFA 22. As a reminder, the TOTW 21 will be officially unveiled on Wednesday at 7 p.m.
