The development team at EA Sports is continuing to deliver Team of the Week line-ups for the Ultimate Team mode in FIFA 15, with the new installment set to offer gamers access to such stars as Yaya Toure, Rakitic and Thiago Silva.

The attack line continues to contain three strikers and includes Raffael, Stindl and Berardi.

When it comes to midfield, there are four players who are both able to absorb the attacks of opponents and to deliver solid balls for the offensive players: Yaya Toure, who was unable to save the season for Manchester City, Rakitic, Mane and Eremenko.

The three-man defensive of the Team of the Week is made up of Rose, Otamendi and Thiago Silva, the last one being the best known of the bunch.

The goalkeeper that gamers will get for Ultimate Team is Burki.

EA Sports is also delivering the classic seven substitutes, which tend to be generally ignored by players and are only good when it comes to trades and obtaining coins for other players who can get in the first team.

FIFA 15 remains popular because of new Ultimate Team content

The launch of the Team of the Week package is one of the highlights of the period for fans of the football sim.

The Ultimate Team mode continues to get tweaks and updates in order to make sure that fans continue to play it even if the core game mechanics are starting to look a little old.

EA Sports is at the moment focused on making sure that as many players as possible will get access to the biggest stars from real-world teams, including the likes of Messi, Ibrahimovic or Cristiano Ronaldo.

This means that their prices are trending down on all platforms and might go even lower in the coming months while new competitions and tournaments are designed to offer gamers access to more coins.

The development team is also trying to eliminate as many farmers and coin sellers in order to make sure that the playing field for the Ultimate Team mode remains as fair and balanced as possible in the long term.

EA Sports is also working on FIFA 16, which has not been officially announced but will probably get a first trailer in the coming weeks and more details about the actual gameplay changes in time for the E3 2015 event.
