EA Sports has dropped the first Team of the Week for FIFA 19 and, as expected, it's hit both the high and low points in some people's books.

Eden Hazard has received a spicy overall upgrade from 91 to 92 and now has 92 pace, 95 dribbling, 84 shooting, 37 defending, 88 passing and 68 physical.

Futhead

Other standout additions to the team are Napoli's Kalidou Koulibaly, Marseille's Dimitri Payet, RB Leipzig's Timo Werner and PSV Eindhoven's Hirving Lozano.

For those of you who aren't familiar with Team of the Week, EA Sports will choose the best players from the previous week based on their real-life form and bump up their stats with an in-form card on Ultimate Team.

Oh, and it's worth remembering that it's based purely on domestic performances, mainly for how Champions League takes place during the week.

Here's a look at the first Team of the Week, including those players who made a place on the bench:



Of course, there are some people questioning how Cristiano Ronaldo, who has the highest rating alongside Lionel Messi, hasn't made it in the team.

The Juventus forward scored a brace against Sassuolo over the weekend, as well as becoming only the fifth player in history to break the 400-goal mark in club career.





You can try bagging one of these players from a pack starting at 6 pm today.

FIFA 19 will be released on September 28 for PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC.

What do you think of Hazard's rating?
