What do Erling Haaland, Thibaut Courtois and Diogo Jota have in common? They are all professional footballers and play for some of the best clubs in the world. And they’re passionate about FIFA 21. Liverpool FC’s Jota is even really good and briefly secured first place in the Weekend League.
The FUT teams of Trent Alexander-Arnold and Thibaut Courtois look extremely strong. However, it is not known how good they really play in FIFA 21. Winger Diogo Jota from Liverpool FC is a completely different story, as he briefly took first place in the FUT Champions Weekend League last weekend.
Diogo Jota dominates Weekend League
The FUT Champions Weekend League is the game mode every FIFA gamer is looking forward to. Every weekend, you have to prove yourself in a maximum of 30 games in order to win the rewards on the following Thursday.
However, winning all 30 games is not that easy – especially when the servers are once again throwing a spanner in the works. While mega-talent Anders Vejrgang is racing from one record to the next, Diogo Jota also secured a triumph and ranked first in the Weekend League. In the end, Jota finished FUT Champions in 10th place because other players had a higher skill rating.
Diogo Jota’s team
Diogo Jota, who joined Liverpool FC from Wolverhampton Wanderers at the start of the – Season , is fielding an extremely strong team, which he shared with the world via his Esports organization on Twitter.
Included: his 99 Pro Player card, which, unlike Thibaut Courtois, is actually used. Otherwise, the Portuguese relies on the central defender duo that most FIFA professionals also rely on: RTTF Raphael Varane and TOTW Kyle Walker, supplemented by headliners Tavernier and Ferland Mendy, whose 83 Gold card is still completely OP.
However, Diogo Jota doesn’t field any Liverpool FC teammates, but he does use the best duo FIFA 21 has to offer in the midfield center: the two middle icons Patrick Vieira and Ruud Gullit (okay, the Prime variants are even better). Presumably, Jota’s 99 card will run up front next to Ronaldo, while Kylian Mbappé and Mid-Eusebio will occupy the flanks.
Already in FIFA 20 Diogo Jota could celebrate some successes in the Weekend League and explained at that time in an interview with TheAthletic how playing Football Manager and FIFA made him a better footballer.
FIFA 22 – FUTs
What could be cooler than just relaxed gaming and doing some sofa sports on the side? In FIFA 22, the player is on the move fast, but without getting sore muscles. With the Ultimate Team Event cards, the collecting instinct is now also satisfied. However, the FUT Heroes keep creeping into my mind, so here are the best Ultimate Team Event cards that are definitely worth adding to your collection.
Heroes cards selected by EA for top qualities
Admittedly, the FUT heroes will cost quite a bit of coin, but it turns out that EA has once again brought some top-class players into the game when it comes to selection. As a collector and hunter, it’s an added attraction for FIFA gamers to now include their own favorite heroes in the portfolio and benefit from their individual skills. Both in the game and in team building, the FUTs will revolutionize the game once again.
EA SPORTS FC: FIFA GAME SERIES TO BE CONTINUED UNDER NEW NAME
Of course, the soccer simulation game series will not be discontinued completely. After FIFA 23, EA will relaunch the game under the name EA Sports FC and market it independently. Old FIFA hares should now become quite an ear, after all, the EA Sports Football Club used to be a part of the actual game for years. A lot of playing was rewarded, points could be collected and items, boosts or balls for the individual game modes could be unlocked.
In this context, there could also be a complete revolution of the classic game. There is a heated discussion in the FIFA community about whether the game, which is expected to be released in the fall of 2023, will be free-to-play. This option is said to be on the table for the game makers from EA, because: It seems that EA earns most of its money with the purchases of FIFA Points in the game mode Ultimate Team and not with the sale of the game itself.
