For the second week in a row EA has provided an extra boss into the TOTW sets. This weeks boss is Patriots free safety Devin McCourty. This 92 overall boss card is definitely a difference maker. The 5’10 safety has 90 speed, 90 acceleration, and 93 play recognition.
The reasoning for McCourty getting the boss card probably had to do with his career high in tackles with 14 on the Colts, to help New England win 38-24. Again this card doesn’t come easy, as it will cost both 90 overall boss cards or right around 400 thousand coins on the market. The players and bosses needed to achieve McCourty are listed below.
