Aston Villa goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez has been included in FIFA 22’s latest Team of the Week following his displays for Argentina during the international break.
Villa shared the news on Twitter, and, as to be expected, many Villa fans were quick to praise the shot-stopper as a result.
Martinez, who has featured in all but one of Villa’s Premier League games this season, earned his 13th and 14th caps for his country, helping them qualify for the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.
The 29-year-old didn’t concede a goal in a win over Uruguay and a stalemate with Brazil and has been included in EA Sports’ Team of the Week alongside the likes of Harry Kane and Kylian Mbappe.
Martinez’s new in-form card is rated at 86, two higher than his base card which was released at the beginning of the series.
Villa fans react
This is what these Villa fans had to say in reply to Martinez’s card, with one saying his son will be ‘buzzing’ at the update, while another labelled the fan favourite as a 'phenomenon'.
“You just love to see it”
“The bloke is a phenomenon”
“YES!!! Give me him red”
“Oh that's filthy”
“My son will be buzzing”
“Absolutely gorgeous”
“WWWWW”
