fifaRAWR's Team of the Week Predictions: Week 19 - The Final Team
After a couple of slightly dud Team of the Weeks, it was about time we were treated to a great team and that is exactly what this week should be. The majority of European leagues have now returned to action, this is bar ze lazy Germans who are still sat on their behinds and do return to competitive matches next weekend. Moving swift onward, let’s dive into this week’s prediction and please do remember to drop a comment if you have any feedback as well as following FUTWIZ and myself on twitter!
Saturday saw another imperious performance from Juventus’ Chilean international Arturo Vidal, he scored the first in their 4-2 victory over Sampdoria before winning a penalty which he duly converted himself which took his tally to ten for the season.
Santi Cazorla had perhaps been a tad quiet for the Gunners up until recently, but after a goal against North London rivals Tottenham in the FA Cup and a brace last weekend against Fulham, the Spaniard looks to be getting back to his best at a great time for Arsenal, given two of their next four games are against Liverpool and Manchester United.
Speaking of Manchester United, Chelsea striker Samuel Eto’o of course scored three against them at Stamford Bridge on Sunday. Sure, there may have been a fair bit of luck involved in the first but nothing can be taken away from his obvious poaching ability, something he showed in his taking of the second and third goals but maybe it’s also something he hasn’t shown anywhere near enough of this season.
