FIFA EA Sports Reveals Nigeria's Best Player Against Seychelles & It's NOT Samuel Kalu

Published: September 13, 2018

EA Sports FIFA has ended the argument once and for all over who was the most outstanding player in the Super Eagles team in their comprehensive 3-0 win over Seychelles in an Africa Cup of Nations qualifier last weekend.

Bordeaux number ten Samuel Kalu may have given the Super Eagles fans something to talk about with his showboating and playing to the gallery against the Pirates but he did not make the most impact during the match, according to the highly respected video game publishers.

EA Sports has revealed its Team of the Week for Week 46, taking into account all the matches that were played during the international break, and former Leicester City man Ahmed Musa narrowly missed out on the ceremonial best eleven players but made the substitutes bench.

In a 3-4-1-2 formation, Real Madrid's Wales star Gareth Bale and Chelsea's Michy Batshuayi were chosen in attack, Liverpool's Mohamed Salah occupied right midfield and Inter Milan's Croatia World Cup star Ivan Perišić played as a left midfielder.

With an overall rating of 84, Musa was named as a substitute in the left midfield role and was awarded 96 pace, 86 dribbling, 87 shooting, 75 passing and 65 physicality.

The Super Eagles captain against Seychelles opened the scoring with a brilliant long-range, left-footed volley in the 15th minute.
