It’s a day after Christmas, but the gifts keep arriving for FIFA 19 gamers. On Wednesday, December 26, EA revealed the new Team of the Week (TOTW) for Ultimate Team. Among the star players that gamers are looking to add through FUT packs will be high-rated Paul Pogba, Alex Sandro, and Daniel Parejo. Here are more details about the starting XI, substitutes, and bench players that are available today.

FIFA 19 Team of the Week 15: Starting XI

For FIFA 19’s TOTW 14, gamers found Lionel Messi and Antoine Griezmann amongst the highest-rated cards available. For the Week 15 starting lineup, they’ll find more star players. That includes Manchester United star Paul Pogba. The French footballer checks in with an 89 rating on his FUT card for TOTW 15.

Joining him on the lineup is Alex Sandro at 88 overall, and a Daniel Parejo player card at 87. There are also three players with 86 ratings including Lala and Franck Ribery. Here’s a look at the full team in EA FIFA’s tweet from Wednesday morning.

There were predictions ahead of the latest FIFA 19 Team of the Week 15 release for which players might be included. Since TOTW is based on which players performed well, the WhoScored website’s football stats from Dec. 18 to Dec. 23 revealed a few of the Starting XI players correctly.

The folks at FUTHead also correctly predicted a number of the TOTW 15 representatives. They included Munich’s Franck Ribery and Son Heung-Min from Tottenham. Their lineup also sports Jesse Lingard who was not included in this week’s TOTW. Lingard scored twice and assisted on another goal in his team’s win over Cardiff four days ago.

Lingard may have been this week’s snub in favor of Paul Pogba getting the TOTW honors. With Pogba’s struggles under his previous Man. United boss Jose Mourinho, it seems well-deserved about now, though.

FIFA 19 Team of the Week 15: Substitutes, reserves

As with previous installments of FIFA’s Team of the Week, gamers will also be able to pick up key substitutes and bench players. These are also players who performed well in their recent games on the pitch. The seven reserves all boast 81 ratings. They include right-wing Gayle and goalkeeper Meret. Here’s the full listing:

  • GK Meret (81)
  • CB Perrin (83)
  • CM Odjidja-Ofoe (81)
  • LM Bourigeaud (81)
  • ST Calleri (81)
  • RW Gayle (81)
  • CF Budescu (81)

There are five bench players this week, with the highest-rated card a 79 for left midfielder Dennis. Lica and Testroet check in with 76s as backup players.

  • LM Dennis (79)
  • RM Texpetey (74)
  • RW Lica (76)
  • ST1 Testroet  (76)
  • ST2 Stockley (75)

Gamers can check out FIFA Team of the Week 15 on the FIFA Web app. As mentioned, cards are in the FUT packs and will be available through the transfer market. In addition, gamers can challenge the new FIFA Team of the Week 15 for bonus coins on their PS4, Xbox One, or other participating game consoles.
