Stay tuned for further updates as they're released later today.
FIFA 17 TOTW 26 UPDATE
For those interested, EA Sports has revealed the FIFA 17 Team of the Week for week 26, which means fans can now play against them in FIFA Ultimate Team.
TOTW items are available by chance when opening FIFA Ultimate Team Packs.
ORIGINAL STORY - FIFA 17 St Patricks Day Event
EA Sports has revealed the starting dates for their annual St. Patricks Day event, which kicks off tomorrow for all fans of FIFA 17's Ultimate Team Mode.
A new tweet was sent out from EA Sports announcing when the event would start, with a small message accompanying the image seen above, which read:
"Get ready for the #GreenTeam tomorrow! #StPatricksDay #FUT"
No further details about the event have been revealed by EA Sports just yet, but it will likely follow the trend of previous St. Patricks Day events in FIFA games.
The St. Patricks Day event has been a yearly tradition as far back as FIFA 14, and sees the introduction of 23 special green cards FUT cards to recognise the best Irish players right now.
These 23 players are given a special green FUT card, but won't see any boost in stats.
Additionally, there's usually a St. Patrick’s Day tournament which runs the duration of the five-day event and we can't imagine why it would be any different this year.
In the meantime, fifa 17 will be unveiling a new TOTW in a couple of hours, the 26th team of the week for the game's Ultimate Team mode.
You should be able to access this from either the FIFA 17 Web App or from your PS4, Xbox One and PC.
While we can't say for definite who will be in the 23 man TOTW squad, there are one or two players who have surely cemented their place this week following some fine performances from last week's fixtures.
For those of you who are still getting to grips with FIFA Ultimate team, the FUT Team of the Week (TOTW) is a weekly team of 23 in-form player cards.
Unlike the St. Patrick's Day squad, these players will be boosted with a stat upgrade by EA based on how well they have performed over the last week in real-life football fixtures.
The FIFA Ultimate Team new cards are available in Gold, Silver or Bronze packs but will only be available for one week from 5.45PM (UK time) every Wednesday.
Anyone wanting a reminder to pop in their diary, this week's FIFA 17 TOTW cards will be available in FIFA packs from 6PM, March 15th until 5.45PM UK time, March 22nd.
Before EA unveil this week's FIFA 17 TOTW, here's a prediction of the squad we could see, as by the FIFA Ultimate Team experts at www.bwowg.com .
