FIFA Ultimate Team Team of the Week (TOTW) – April 30th

Each week EA Sports creates a FIFA Ultimate Team Team of the Week (TOTW) based on players in the real world that are in form for that week. Take a look at the team that will be available for one week from 30th April at 6pm.

Jonjo Shelvey – There was once a time when Shelvey only got attention from terrible tackles or not being good enough for the team he was at. Now at Swansea he’s scoring goals to make the headlines from midfield, but not just any goal. This weekend saw arguably the joint best goal in Premier League history from the centre circle to earn himself a place in the team of the week.

Claudio Pizarro – It’s hard to believe anyone would have this guy in a top team after a dreadful spell in English football but it seems that was a mere blip on an otherwise goal saturated career. He got some game time for Bayern Munich at the weekend, showing there may still be another season or two left in him. Two goals helped secured a 5-2 win over Werder Bremen for the German champions.

Dimitar Berbatov – The nonchalant striker may have found a team (AS Monaco) and a league to suit his undeniable talents. Berbatov bagged two goals during a routine 4-1 victory at AC Ajaccio which was key in keeping in mathematical range for a chance of catching PSG. They need to keep on winning and hope PSG lose them all.
