It’s MLS Cup week in the USA, with Western Conference Champiside Seattle Sounders, facing off against the Eastern Conference’s Toronto FC.
In anticipation of the Cup Final this Sunday (10th November), we bring you the best FUT made up of players from the USA.
The team has been built using players with American nationality and with the most suitable traits for each position.
