EA give up on released games so easily these days, look at Battlefront 2, I'm shocked its actually getting clone wars content somewhere down the line, but its mostly been forgotten about.
I think it's the more the fact that this is the first time we havn't had a TOTW since I can remember, back past FUT 12. Seems odd for EA to break a constant tradition without much thought or fuss.
I think it also depends on what Real show up, if they show up like they have done the whole season, then Liverpool have a strong chance, but if they play like the team they are, then Pool will have no chance.
Have to go with Madrid, I think however Klopp sets them out they will lose. If they play their attacking football, Real will expose their defence, and if they decide to go defensive, Real will battle out a 2-1 or 1-0 win.
