West Ham United’s Brazilian maestro Felipe Anderson has been named in EA SPORTS’ FIFA 20 FIFA Community Team of the Season So Far.
The skilful wide player, who last week celebrated turning 27-years-old, was voted into a squad of the season’s top performers by players of EA’s premiere football title, and has received a brilliant in-game FIFA Ultimate Team card in recognition of the feat.
Available in packs for the next seven days, Felipe Anderson’s ‘TOTSSF’ card sees his usual 82-rated avatar boosted into a 92-rated overall forward threat.

The card increases Anderson’s pace from 89 to 96; dribbling from 88 to 95; shooting from 77 to 90; defending from 55 to 61; and physicality from 61 to 75.
Anderson was one of four Premier League players named in the vote's top ten, alongside Liverpool's Joe Gomez, Crystal Palace's Wilfried Zaha and Manchester City's Fernandinho.
The announcement marks the first selection for the Team of the Season So Far, with future FIFA releases to follow focused on individual leagues.
The Brazilian becomes the fourth West Ham player this season to be awarded a special card after three Hammers – Aaron Cresswell, Mark Noble and Robert Snodgrass – were named in FIFA’s Team of the Week earlier this campaign.
Anderson was also the recipient of a Season Objective card in January, but his latest iteration in FIFA 20 surpasses even that card.
