FIFA 17 Ultimate Team: FUT Team of the Week 24 Predictions, Pack Info and More

FIFA 17 Ultimate Team is poised to release Team of the Week 24 this Wednesday, and the latest in-form additions to the game look sure to attract major interest from players after a goal bonanza across Europe's top leagues. 

The strike force in particular looks likely to be a coveted one after Tottenham Hotspur forward Harry Kane and Bayern Munich frontman Robert Lewandowski both scored hat-tricks over the past seven days.

Borussia Dortmund's Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang will also be in the running after he netted a brace against Freiburg, as did AS Roma general Radja Nainggolan and Lyon winger Memphis Depay in their weekend outings.

Chelsea winger Pedro could also be in the hunt for another in-form upgrade after scoring one goal and assisting another in a 3-1 win over Swansea City, a feat replicated by team-mate Cesc Fabregas in that fixture.

Read on as we predict which stars we'll see lining up in Team of the Week 24, which promises to be one release players won't want to miss.

Harry Kane, Tottenham Hotspur

What started off as another slow campaign is gradually turning into a career best for Tottenham talisman Kane, who scored his third hat-trick of 2017 en route to a 4-0 hammering of Stoke City on Saturday. 

That display looks likely to earn Kane a remarkable fifth in-form boost of the 2016-17 season, which is of little wonder given the run the England striker has enjoyed in recent campaigns, per Sky Sports Statto:

The England international is aware of the world-class form he's displayed in recent times, too, and picked himself as one of football's deadliest strikers when he's playing at his best, per the Guardian's Dominic Fifield:

"

I feel that, if you look at my stats, my goals, then I’m up there. Look, I just try to do my best. I like to score goals, obviously I will try and score as many as I can from now until the end of the season. I feel in good form.

I think I am in the best form of my career. I feel fresh, I feel sharp, I feel in good shape. Of course, that injury I had earlier in the season might have done me a bit of good, getting a bit more rest. I’ve had a good couple of months so it’s important I continue that until the end of the season.

"

Kane's latest in-form, a Man of the Match award for the FA Cup's fifth round, already came equipped with 93 shooting and 90 physical base-stat ratings, which could both verge further into that elite bracket in TOTW 24.

However, the forward's 89 dribbling looks set to become his third stat field breaking the 90 mark this week, putting Premier League team owners on red alert for what's sure to be a must-have hitman.

Radja Nainggolan, AS Roma

Few players in Serie A had finer outings than AS Roma midfielder Nainggolan this past weekend after he scored two goals of world-class quality in the Giallorossi's 3-1 win over Inter Milan.

BT Sport provided footage of both belters in question, a brace that's likely to see the Belgian's already fearsome 86 shooting in his most recent in-form boosted once again:

As outlined by Kristof Terreur of Belgian newspaper Het Laatste Nieuws, Nainggolan has already eclipsed his previous best scoring tally for a Serie A campaign and is eyeing bigger and better plaudits in the months to come:

This has been the season in which he's truly outlined himself as a world-class midfield force, and a new in-form release, which will have an overall rating of 88 or higher, looks likely to see Nainggolan earn his first 90-plus stats of FIFA 17.

His base dribbling and physical ratings sit on 89, while defence is rated 87 and both shooting and passing standing at 86. Needless to say Serie A enthusiasts will want a new Nainggolan among their ranks, while his Belgian nationality makes him a very appealing asset to place in many a hybrid setup.

Robert Lewandowski, Bayern Munich

Kane wasn't the only European hotshot to bag a hat-trick over the weekend as Lewandowski led Bayern's 8-0 hammering of Hamburg with a three-goal haul of his own at the Allianz Arena.

While some may be tempted to question the Pole's accomplishment in such a one-sided landslide, it should be noted that it was Lewandowski's hat-trick that actually laid the foundation for Bayern's bombardment:

A fourth in-form of the season looks destined to be his as a result in TOTW 24, where Lewandowski now stands to receive an upgrade on his 92 shooting and 91 dribbling.

And the striker looks set to land a third 90-plus stat as his 89 physical base stat angles for an upgrade, with any 94 overall-rated Lewandowski likely to establish himself further as one of the game's finest finishers.
