FIFA 19 Team Of The Week 20 Adds Joao Cancelo, Angel Di Maria High Ratings FUT Cards
On Wednesday, the newest FIFA 19 Team of the Week officially debuted and includes major stars from the pitch from the past week’s games. This week’s lineup doesn’t boast any 90-plus ratings for players but does bring several players in the high 80s. They include Joao Cancelo and Angel Di Maria. Here’s a look at who else is featured in the FIFA 19 Team of the Week 20 lineup.
FIFA 19 Team of the Week 20: Joao Cancelo, Di Maria featured
In the FIFA TOTW 19, gamers had a chance at top-rated cards from Edinson Cavani and Luka Modric. While those were FUT player cards with ratings of 90 or better, this week’s lineup provides a few 87-rated players at best. They’re no slouches either, as gamers will be able to pick up Joao Cancelo and Angel Di Maria cards through the packs.
Last week, Angel Di Maria’s Paris Saint-Germain teammates Edinson Cavani and Kylian Mbappe headlined TOTW after a dominant PSG win. While all three players figured in the team’s 4-1 win over Rennes in Paris, it was Di Maria getting the TOTW nod. He scored once in that game along an assists to lead the way.
Joao Cancelo was a key player in his Juventus club’s recent 2-1 win over Lazio. Cancelo scored the game-tying goal in that game and then his teammate, FIFA 19 TOTY representative Cristiano Ronaldo, won it. That gives him an 87-rated player card for FUT this week. The full starting XI and other players among the 23 TOTW 20 representatives are shown below.
