NYCFC defender Maxime Chanot’s big week just got a little bigger.
The center back is in the EA SPORTS FUT Team of the Week following his massive performance against the Philadelphia Union, a match in which he scored the late equalizer on a thunderous near-post header.
This is Chanot’s first-ever appearance in the FUT Team of the Week, and he earned it in the same week as his first-ever goal for NYCFC. Of course, he’s much better known for preventing goals than he is for putting them back in the net.
Chanot has been massive this year, helping NYCFC to the 4th-best goal differential in Major League Soccer.
