FIFA 20: Nicolas Pepe joined by Varane, Jesus in FUT TOTW

Nicolas Pepe earned his first inclusion of the season in FIFA Ultimate Team’s Team of the Week thanks to his eye-catching display against Manchester United.

The reported £72million signing from Lille endured a difficult first few months in an Arsenal jersey, struggling to recapture the form he showed in France over the previous two campaigns.

But in the 2-0 win over Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s men, Pepe opened the scoring and was a constant livewire, troubling United’s backline with his trickery, movement and general unpredictability.

With some European leagues enjoying a mid-season break, the latest FUT selection is rather Premier League-dominated, with five players from the division in the starting XI, while there are another six England-based representatives among the substitutes and reserves.

Joining Pepe in the starting XI are the likes of Real Madrid’s Raphael Varane, Alejandro Gomez of Atalanta and Lazio’s Ciro Immobile.

Below, we take a look at the entire squad that is set to be available online.
