FIFA 17 Ultimate Team: FUT Team of the Week 25 Predictions, Pack Costs and More

Christopher SimpsonMar 7, 2017

Dries Mertens will receive his fourth in-form card of the season in FIFA 17 Ultimate Team on Wednesday if he features in Team of the Week 25.

The Belgian scored twice as Napoli beat Roma 2-1, and alongside him there could be plenty of La Liga flavour in the attack as Lionel Messi, Karim Benzema and Antoine Griezmann all netted braces too.

Marko Arnautovic could be representing the Premier League after he scored both goals in Stoke City's 2-0 win over Middlesbrough, while Artur Boruc's strong performance and penalty save in Bournemouth's 1-1 draw with Manchester United may see him given the nod in goal.

Team of the Week 25 will be announced on Wednesday, March 8, at 3 p.m. GMT (10 a.m. ET) and will be released into card packs at 6 p.m. GMT (1 p.m. ET) later that day. Stats and ratings have been provided by FUTHead.com

If a player's original rating is the highest available in bronze (64) or silver (74), his first in-form cannot feature an overall increase but will feature improved individual stats.

Dries Mertens, Napoli

Mertens has already featured in Team of the Week 9, 14, 21 and Team of the Group Stage for the UEFA Champions League, which is a result of the forward enjoying his most prolific campaign in Italy to date.

He added another two goals to his tally on Saturday, his 17th and 18th in Serie A this season, as Napoli travelled to the Italian capital and came away with three points.

The 29-year-old opened the scoring against Roma with a delightful chip over the 'keeper and channeled former Nigeria international Finidi George in his celebration:

He doubled their lead when he converted Lorenzo Insigne's cross from close range.

There's scarcely room to improve on his latest 89-rated IF thanks to his base stats of 95 pace, 94 shooting and 93 dribbling, but he could be set to become an even more deadly asset up front.

Karim Benzema, Real Madrid

With Cristiano Ronaldo injured and Gareth Bale suspended, it fell to Benzema to lead the line against Eibar for Real Madrid on Saturday.

The Frenchman has been fairly inconsistent this season, but he turned in an outstanding performance to help Los Blancos win 4-1.

He opened the scoring from the right after his initial effort was saved by Yoel only to rebound back to him, and he doubled the lead when he touched home James Rodriguez's curling free-kick, before turning provider for the Colombian to make it 3-0.

La Liga writers Sid Lowe and Dermot Corrigan picked him out as Los Blancos' top performer:

Such an impressive outing is likely to see the striker receive his first IF of the season, with his 84 shooting and 77 passing likely to receive the biggest boosts.

Lionel Messi, Barcelona

Messi has received Team of the Year and Team of the Group Stage cards this season but is yet to appear in the Team of the Week.

After two goals and two assists in Barcelona's 5-0 thrashing of Celta Vigo, he'll surely make his debut this time.

The Argentinian netted from the edge of the area after a driving run forward through the middle before slipping in Neymar to make it 2-0. After squaring it to Samuel Umtiti to score from close range, Messi rounded out the scoring when he cut in from the right and tucked home.

Yahoo Sports' Andrew Gaffney led the plaudits of the talisman:

The Barcelona star boasts impressive stats already in his base card, and with his 90 shooting, 86 passing and 89 pace likely to be among the improvements he receives this week, he'll be a must-have for any La Liga or Argentina-themed attacks.
