FIFA 17 Ultimate Team: FUT Team of the Week 39 Rewards Standout Internationals

Leigh Griffiths will feature in Team of the Week 39 on Wednesday when EA Sports releases its latest round of upgrades for FIFA 17's Ultimate Team, while Michael Bradley's wonder goal against Mexico earned him a place.

Griffiths' brace of free-kicks against England see him feature up front alongside Sandro Wagner, who grabbed a hat-trick for Germany as they predictably demolished San Marino 7-0.

Leigh Griffiths, Scotland

Scotland looked to be heading toward a 1-0 defeat at the hands of bitter rivals England at Hampden Park on Saturday, until Griffiths stepped up to a free-kick in the 87th minute.

Three minutes later, he beat Joe Hart with another set piece, per ITV Football:

While Harry Kane's late equaliser ensured England a share of the spoils, Griffiths' contribution earned him a spot in the team.

Football writer Robin Bairner hailed his efforts as the goals went in:

Griffiths has received an 81-rated in-form card for his troubles, which sees several of his attributes earn healthy upgrades from his 75-rated base card.

The striker's 76 shooting and 66 physical stats have gone up by six apiece to 82 and 72, while his 71 dribbling and 65 passing have risen by five each to 76 and 70.

Michael Bradley, USA

The USA earned a credible 1-1 draw with Mexico at the Azteca Stadium on Sunday, after taking the lead early on through Bradley's incredible strike, per U.S. Soccer:

The midfielder came close to grabbing a winner for the United States after El Tri had equalised, per Goal USA's Ives Galarcep:

Unsurprisingly, the American's new 83-rated card boasts significantly higher shooting than his base card with a rating of 80, up from 69.

His passing and dribbling have also moved beyond the bracket of 80, while his already strong physical stat has gone from 83 to 86.

Bradley's biggest downfall is his lack of pace which comes to just 71 even after the upgrade, but he can otherwise make for a robust option in the centre.

Sandro Wagner, Germany

Hoffenheim striker Wagner, 29, was making just his second appearance for Germany on Saturday and he helped his side make short work of minnows San Marino in Nuremberg.

A fine header from Kimmich's cross opened his account and he scrambled home his second following the Bayern Munich man's free-kick.

After hitting the post and missing a gilt-edged chance for his hat-trick, he eventually sealed it late on when he converted another excellent delivery from Kimmich.

OptaFranz shared the numbers behind his performance:

Wagner has gone up to 83 overall, but even with this boost he'll be limited in his usefulness, particularly against top defences.

His 62 pace will appear sluggish in comparison with most centre-backs—even those not known for their speed—while his 55 passing, though much-improved on the 45 his 78-rated base card possessed, means he'll struggle to take part in team moves either.
