FIFA 19 TOTW Gameweek 17: 3 Players Who Should Make the XI

Modified Jan 09, 2019 08:00 GMT

#1 – Leroy Sane

Manchester City v Rotherham United - The Emirates FA Cup Third Round

Leroy Sane has to be in the team of the week even if EA are not counting Manchester City's match vs Rotherham United. Many suggest that the TOTW is decided only on league games and not cup matches so, Sane's performance vs Liverpool will be the only one considered.

The German winger was brilliant after coming on Rotherham United in the FA Cup as well but his goal in the game might not be considered at all. However, his impressive game vs Liverpool should be enough to earn him a place in the XI.

Sane's base card is at 86 and his two special card – UCL and TOTW – are rated at 87. So, this week, should he make it, his rating will be 88. With a pace of 97 at least and shooting at 85, he is going to be one of the most sort-after players this week.
