This week’s team of the week takes a trip down memory lane as veterans Pepe Reina, Mathieu Debuchy, Klass Jan Huntelaar and Radja Naingollan all get the nod.
Ajax’s Dutch legend Klass Jan Huntelaar admirably rolled back the years last weekend and scored 3 goals in an 8 goal thriller, as Ajax thumped 6 past Excelsior in the Eredivisie. With exception to Dutch purists, the card has little value outside Nostalgia purposes. The 81 rated card has a dreadful 58 pace rank along with 71 dribbling, 74 physicalities, 68 passing, and 84 shooting. Frankly, this card can’t run, dribbles past players like a stiff robot and will only score if within 10m of the net. Highly desirable? I think not!!
Pepe Reina dominated between the two posts in last weekends crucial Serie A clash between AC Milan and SSLazio. The Spanish international kept a clean sheet and impressed with numerous saves that defied his advancing years. His card has a rating of 85 and includes 83 diving, 85 reflexes, 85 handling, 85 positioning and 85 kicking.
Inter Milan’s temperamental Belgium midfield player Radja Nainggolan receives his second inform card for his commanding display in the 3-1 win against Frosinone. One to watch owners will also be pleased to see their cards get a nice upgrade from the previous rating of 86. The 87 inform card has ratings of 78 pace, 85 dribbling, 85 defending, 85 physicalities, 83 shooting, and 82 passing.
