FIFA Ultimate Team - Team of the Week

With Manchester United winning the Premier League title on Monday night, it was striker Robin van Persie who stole the show. In their 3-0 victory over relegation-threatened Aston Villa, the Dutchman scored all three goals in the first 33 minutes of the match.

While it took RvP 33 minutes to score a hat trick, it only took Mario Gomez six minutes to do the same. Coming on as a substitute with the score already 3-1 against VfL Wolfsburg in a Cup match, the Bayern München striker amazed the home crowd adding three more goals en-route to a comfortable 6-1 win. He would score two more goals a few days later in an easy 1-6 win over Hannover 96.

Although Hamburg SV currently sits in eighth place in the German Bundesliga, they are only two points out of a spot in Europe’s premier club competition. With only four matches remaining, and their next match against 4^th-place Schalke 04, you can expect Rafeal van der Vaart to be called to lead. He was vital in their 2-1 win against Fortuna Düsseldorf, scoring both goals.
