This is our Team of the Week 16 Prediction. A difficult one due to the upcoming TOTY promo. Griezmann, Depay, Icardi. But it could be Haaland or even Messi. Check it out.
1. Pepe Reina - LazioWe have predicted his In-Form a few weeks ago ( TOTW 13 ) Sincerely none of the goalkeepers had a great performance this weekend. Reina had 3 saves, kept a clean sheet. But it could be Navas, or probably Perin too. We picked Reina because he probably deserved this IF before.
2. Danilo - Juventus1 goal and 1 assist. He had a great performance in Juventus´ victory 3-1 over Sassuolo. It would be his first In-Form ever in FIFA.
3. Maripán - MonacoNot only he had a great performance during the week, but also during the weekend. In the end, 2 goals and 1 assist.
4. Gayá - Valencia1 assist + clean sheet. He could get his first In-Form in FIFA 21. Remember he got a Freeze card but with position changed to striker.
5. Sancho - DortmundAgain, 1 goal and 1 assist. The same performance as the previous week. We predicted his card for TOTW15. Now we believe he would finally get the In-Form he deserves. If he does not make it into this TOTW is because of Haaland, one of the possible wildcards of this prediction.
6. Parejo - Villarreal1 goal and 1 assist. This would be his second In-Form. Parejo is those players that nobody uses but EA loves to give in-forms since these cards have a high overall rating but low value. Perfect for your next red pick.
7. Hofmann - B. MonchengladbachHe should get the In-Form the previous week. Now he managed to lead Monchengladbach to defeat Bayern Munich. 2 goals and an outstanding performance.
8. Brozovic - Inter2 assists. Not usual for a CDM. This would be his first In-Form in FIFA 21.
9. Depay - LyonTwo goals during the week could grant him his second In-Form. This card will be closer to his Moments card released by the end of November. Anyway, his Moments card has 89 composure. In the best of cases, in this In-Form his composure could reach 82.
10. Icardi - PSGAlmost no one predicted this card. 1 goal + 1 assist. Remember he got a UEFA Road to the Final Live card already.
11. Griezmann - Barcelona2 goals + 1 assist. The card that everybody predicted but no one wants to see in the next TOTW. Because if Griezmann does not make it, that could mean that Messi gets the in-Form.
WildcardsWhy so many, and why so many important ones? Well, the fact that the TOTY team is coming soon is the reason. TOTY voting closes on January 18 ( next Monday ). So probably they will announce the winners next week and release the team. Messi will be probably present in that team. Not sure about Haaland ( probably not ). So will EA give In-Forms to top players, probably present in the next TOTY Team, so close to the promo? Probably not. We still have some hope with Haaland, a card that could make this TOTW better.
Ilicic could make it, too. His performance was outstanding, with 3 goals, but he got an In-Form a few weeks ago. Gosens could take Brozovic's place. Ajorque, Dia or Chiesa could be among the substitutes.
SubstitutesAre you scared? Kent could be back. 2 assists could grant him this card. Anyway, EA could probably decide to preserve him for a future, expensive card, not that one you can get by winning a few matches. Other possible Silver Stars could be Larin ( Besiktas ), Demirovic ( Freiburg ) or Czerny ( Twente )
