EA Sports have announced on Twitter the 18 footballers who will feature in this week’s Team of the Week for FIFA 15’s Ultimate Team mode.
Last week, the second best-rated footballer in the title, Real Madrid’s winger Cristiano Ronaldo, made his first appearance in FIFA 15’s Team of the Week, but this week has none other than the cover star of FIFA 15 leading Team of the Week, Barcelona’s Lionel Messi.
The 27-year-old Argentine forward has been upgraded from a 93 overall to 94 in his inform card, as Messi scored twice and assisted two goals in Barcelona’s 6-0 thrashing against Granada at the Camp Nou.
