FIFA 19 Team of the Week 27: Angel Di Maria headlines Starting XI
On last week’s FIFA TOTW 26, gamers were able to grab player cards for stars including Raheem Sterling and James Rodriguez. For Week 27, we’ve got another 90-rated player card, this time for Angel Di Maria who appeared in TOTW weeks ago. Di Maria was on fire in the recent Paris Saint-Germain win against Marseille. His latest Ultimate Team card brings a 92 Dribbling and 91 Pace, as well as 90 for Passing. There’s also that 87 Shooting to help him score goals.
Joining Di Maria on the new Starting XI are 10 other stars from recent matchups. They include 86-rated De Vrij and Richarlison, as the next best cards. Of those players, De Vrij was in the spotlight as helped Inter Milan defeat AC. Richarilson was a major part of the second-half surge for Chelsea in their win, scoring one of the team’s two goals.
