FIFA 20: FUT TOTW 5 Prediction (Ultimate Team of the Week 5) – Lewandowski, Alderweireld, Depay & more

There are three things you can be sure of in life: death, taxes and Robert Lewandowski banging in goal after goal. .

The Polish hitman is on fire in front of goal this season and has helped Poland qualify for Euro 2020 already.

The international break can often be straightforward for the big teams, however now and then a shock is thrown into the mix.

England were victims this time as they never got going in their defeat to Czech Republic whilst Spain were denied a win by Norway after Josh King’s late penalty.

This week’s FIFA 20 Ultimate Team of the Week (TOTW) will contain a mixture of stars who excelled for their country over the past week.

Each week, EA will select a squad of 23 of the best performing players from the past seven days and give them in-form (IF) cards which have increased ratings.

These players form the TOTW which is available to challenge for coins on FIFA Ultimate Team. These players are also available in packs and on the transfer market, so look out for them!
