When was the FIFA 21 TOTW 32 release date?

FIFA 21 TOTW 32 arrived on Wednesday 5th May 2021, in keeping with EA's usual tradition of dropping these little updates into the game on Wednesdays. If you've been looking for new things to do in FIFA this week, then, why not try to recruit some of the new TOTW players for your FUT squad?

What time does FIFA 21 TOTW 32 drop?

Again, EA is sticking to tradition here, with FIFA 21 TOTW 32 landing at around 6pm UK time. This is ideal if you're finishing work or coming home from school around this time, as it means you won't have to wait long to check out the new TOTW.

FIFA 21 TOTW 32 predictions

You can rule out anyone that appeared in FIFA 21 TOTW 31 (because players don't turn to appear two weeks in a row) and you can also rule out everyone that didn't play (such as TOWIE star Mark Wright, whose Crawley Town career has gone very quiet of late).

That still left plenty of potential picks for EA, though, and we made some predictions earlier in the day. Serge Aurier and Gareth Bale were surely both considered, after their terrific link-up play helped Tottenham trounce Sheffield United 4-0 on Sunday.

PSG's Neymar could've beeen in with a shout, too, having nabbed a goal and an assist during a 2-1 win over Lens on Saturday. There are already Neymar skins in Fortnite, so this could've been a double-whammy of gaming accolades for the player! Sam Johnstone of West Brom, Eder Militão of Real Madrid and Kike García of Eibar have also been in fine form.

Now that FIFA 21 TOTW 32 has been revealed, you can see that some of those predictions were right on the money, while some of the others were not.
