Welcome to the special holiday edition of the FUT Weekly Update. The next ten days are going to be very exciting in the land of FUT, with some very lucrative tournaments, great deals and even a few surprises coming your way. The FUT Web App has been updated with some great new features and to celebrate we have a nice gift for you. We’ll go into detail about all this a bit later in the article but to start we have the FUT Podcast and the, always exciting, Team of the Week.
FUT Podcast
It's the last podcast of the year and Christophe, back after last week's absence, is joined by Paul for a holiday themed discussion. With a lot of games canceled due to snow, the guys discuss the difficulties in picking this week's Team of the Week. They will also preview some of the tournaments and deals coming up during the holiday period. It's worth a listen!
