It’s been a bit of a good week for Emile Smith Rowe. After putting Tottenham to the sword with an easy victory at the weekend, Arsenal’s latest wonderkid finds a place in the big league, with a spot in FIFA 22’s TOTW #2. He’s joined by some massive names of the game too – like Real’s Karim Benzema who earns a place thanks to a double. The less said about the Champions League effort of his teammates, the better though.
FIFA 22 has only just arrived on the global stage, but after a 10-hour trial kicked things off, it’s here for real in Ultimate Edition form, with the standard release just a day or so away. And that means TOTW and the Ultimate Team cash cow can really start to move into second gear, with TOTW Week #2 providing players with a host of great players, ready and willing to jump ship should you be able to afford them.
Smith Rowe is certainly going to be of interest to many even off the bench (perhaps not Spurs fans), as will Benzema, but alongside both of those we find Leverkusen’s Lukáš Hrádecký in sticks, and some top end 80+’ers in the form of Gabriel Jesus, Felipe Anderson and Jesus Navas filling out spots. Admittedly it’s a bit short on Premier League talent, but there’s always Blackburn’s Ben Brereton available if you need him.
FIFA 22 TOTW #2 stars are available from today for you to pick up and add into your Ultimate Team. You’ve got until the 6th October to grab them. But who will be first on your hit list? Let us know in the comments.
