Gamers can create a better team in time for Christmas

Dec 24, 2014 15:37 GMT  ·  By

Christmas is fast upon us, but the high point of the week for some FIFA 15 fans might be earlier, as the development team at EA Sports is delivering a new high-powered Team of the Week package for the Ultimate Team mode of the football sim, allowing gamers to pick up a range of new players that they can then integrate into their own line-ups for improved performance.

The star of the coming pack is without doubt Antoine Griezmann, who has single-handedly managed to create a win for his team by scoring a beautiful hat-trick during the weekend.

In the FIFA 15 Team of the Week, he is joined in the attacking line by Lacazette and Sergio Garcia, two players who have also put in solid performances in the past week, creating a powerful force that can deliver goals for any player.

As it has been for the last few weeks, the midfield of the EA Sports package is made up of another four players: Pedro, the impressive David Silva, Vidal, and Hamouma.

The Team of the Week defensive line consists of three players: Bernat, Naldo, and Yoshida.

The goalkeeper position is occupied by Diego Lopez and the traditional seven substitutes are also included for the team which has a Chemistry rating of 69, unusually large for the packs that EA Sports creates.

FIFA 15 is aiming to sell a lot for Christmas

FIFA 15 is at the moment the beneficiary of a 15 Days of Christmas promotion which gives fans a chance to win prizes associated with the football sim and to get access to special Ultimate Team packs.

The studio is trying to make sure that the community remains engaged in the long term and spends as much of its free time playing and maybe paying real world money for some virtual players.

At the same time, EA Sports is continuing to offer a special Holiday Edition of the title, which includes more celebrations for those special moments after a goal is scored and a chance to use Lionel Messi, the highest rated player in the title, as a loaned player in Ultimate Team.

After the upcoming January transfer window wraps up in the real world, the developers will deliver a major update to make sure that all rosters are as realistic as possible, and they might also use the occasion to introduce a number of other changes to gameplay.
