FIFA 13 Ultimate Team: Ligue 1 Team of the Season Cards Revealed

EA Sports has revealed another Team of the Season selection for its FIFA 13 Ultimate Team mode, this time focusing on Ligue 1's top performers from the 2012-13 campaign.

Following on from last week's Serie A Team of the Season selection, which Ligue 1 players will receive a shiny blue card?

This is the sixth Team of the Season reveal out of a total of eight. The rest will arrive over the coming weeks. These card variations represent the best overall statistical performances of each individual included on the Ultimate Team—meaning they're likely to be rather costly. All will enter packs at 1 p.m. ET on June 5.

Analysis

Regular watchers of French football will know that there are plenty of other players who could have been included in this selection.

Names such as Florian Thauvin, Salvatore Sirigu, Loic Perrin—the list goes on.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Thiago Silva have been rewarded with two of the best cards in the game, while Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang will have rival defences shuddering in fear of his pace.

This is another extremely strong lineup. With the various nations included, it can be utilised to make many interesting teams with full chemistry.

It's also refreshing to see two silvers included with the best, unlike last week's selection.
