FIFA 20 Bundesliga MOTM Replaces TOTW
By Michael Malley | May 20 2020
FIFA 20 Bundesliga MOTM cards were released in packs Wednesday in place of the usual Team of the Week. Eight cards were released from various matches across Bundesliga and Bundesliga 2, the top two divisions of German soccer.
Traditionally, a TOTW is released every Wednesday to celebrate the best performances around the world from the past weekend. But because many leagues were cancelled or suspended because of the coronavirus pandemic, EA switched to releasing a TOTW Moments squad every Wednesday.
This week, they switched things up again, as Germany became the first country to restart its professional soccer leagues. Because Bundesliga and Bundesliga 2 were the only leagues playing over the weekend, players from those leagues were the only ones to receive upgraded cards.

FIFA 20 Bundesliga MOTM Replaces TOTW
While it's always nice to see EA changing up the promotions in FIFA, the MOTM cards they released for this week are not at the same level as cards from other promotions this year.
MOTM cards are not usually the most overpowered cards in the game, but this batch brings a new level of mediocrity. The highest pace of any of the cards is 84 for Alassane Pléa, which is so low that many FIFA players won't even touch a gold player with that pace. The only other card worth looking at is 86-rated Raphaël Guerreiro, and his positioning at LWB makes him even less valuable.
