FIFA 19 TOTW 27 predictions (Team of the Week 27)


It’s a crucial phase of the season, with the Champions League round of 16 being completed this past week. After that, the top clubs in Europe just had one match before the international break, as they look to build momentum before the domestic run-in.

In the Premier League, Liverpool took advantage of Manchester City not featuring by defeating Fulham to go top of the table, with the other noticeable result being Chelsea’s loss away to Everton meaning they have plenty of work to do to finish in the top four. 

It was an eventful weekend in Serie A, with Juventus suffering a surprise defeat to Genoa and Inter Milan defeating rivals AC Milan in the derby at the San Siro. PSG were victorious in Le Classique against Marseille in Ligue 1, and over in Spain, Real Madrid claimed a 2-0 win over Celta Vigo in Zinedine Zidane’s first game back in charge.

Lastly, in the Bundesliga Bayern Munich smashed Mainz 6-0 to put pressure on Borussia Dortmund, who left it late to defeat Hertha Berlin 3-2.

With some outstanding individual performances across Europe and in the MLS this weekend, it will be tough to call who will make the FIFA 19 Team of the Week this time around. A squad of 23 in-form players will be selected on FIFA Ultimate Team on Wednesday, 20 March with the squad able to be challenged for a coin bonus. You can hunt to get hold of these players by purchasing packs from the FUT store or buy and sell them individually in the transfer market. 

RealSport predicts the Team of the Week on the back of the weekend’s action.

Loris Karius was criticised last week after an error-stricken performance in Besiktas’ 3-2 win over Rizespor, but the German has bounced back this week with a clean sheet against Gotzepe. The Liverpool loanee made four saves as the Istanbul held on to the three points which keep them third in the Turkish Super Lig table.

Karius’s 79 overall rating should improve to an in-form 82 this week, and you can pick up his base card for 950 coins on PS4 and 1,200 on Xbox One in Ultimate Team. 

Stefan de Vrij (OVR 84 – IF 86)

Lautaro Martinez may have been the hero for Inter Milan in the Derby della Madonnina, but that should take nothing away from Stefan de Vrij’s tremendous header. The Dutch international bagged just his second goal for the club in the win, which saw Inter climb above AC Milan and into third place in Serie A.

De Vrij’s 84 overall is likely to rise to 86 this Wednesday, with his base card priced at 4,700 coins on both consoles. An 85 rated Champions League item will set you back 18,000 on PS4 and 19,000 on Xbox One. 

Angelo Ogbonna (OVR 78 – IF 81)

It’s a similar case for Angelo Ogbonna, with the centre back clearly overshadowed by the late brace from Javier Hernandez in West Ham’s crazy 4-3 victory over Huddersfield. Ogbonna bagged one for himself however, helping the Hammers remain in ninth place in the table.

Ogbonna’s 78 overall could improve to around 81 if he makes the Team of the Week, with his base card costing 600 coins on PS4 and 800 on Xbox One. 

Martin Hinteregger (OVR 77 – SIF 83)

Martin Hinteregger was undoubtedly the star in Eintracht Frankfurt’s 1-0 win over Nurnberg, with the centre back bagging the only goal. The Austrian’s effort sees Eintracht remain in the fifth place in the Bundesliga but have closed the cap to Monchengladbach above them to just one point. 

Hinteregger’s 77 rating on Ultimate Team should improve to a second in-form card of 83, with his base card worth 1,500 coins on PS4 and 1,600 on Xbox One. An 81 in-form from TOTW 22 costs 21,000 on PS4 and 24,000 on Xbox One.

Napoli were made to work for their 4-2 win over Udinese, with the Gli Azzurri letting a 2-0 lead slip inside the first half, only to restore the advantage in the second period. Jose Callejon had a superb outing, scoring once and assisting Arkadiusz Milik in the victory. 

Callejon’s 84 overall should rise to a second in-form card of 88 this week, with his position moving from right wing to right midfield. You can pick up the Spaniard’s base card for 4,200 coins on PS4 and 4,400 on Xbox One, with his 85 Champions League item costing 27,000 on PS4 and 26,000 on Xbox One.

It’s always tough to call whether Lionel Messi will receive another in-form card, but with the Argentine netting a hat trick for Barcelona, he has given himself a great chance. His treble in the 4-1 win over Real Betis drew a round of applause from the opposition supporters, with Barca opening up a 10-point gap at the top of La Liga.
