It's one thing when David Villa or Andrea Pirlo or Danq Phranq pops up on EA Sports' FIFA 16 Team of the Week. One grasps that logic without much trouble.

But with three assists in his last four games, perhaps we ought not be the least bit surprised that RJ Allen is feeling the love from the Video Game Gods.
It took way, way too long, but the luminaries at EA Sports have finally felt the potent, palpable essence of Allen's greatness, including (but not limited to):
- Utter fearlessness racing forward on the ball
- Uncommon penchant for the early cross
- Pleasingly physical style of play
- Impressive playmaking vision and touch
- Dashingly rugged, all-American charm
The Notorious RJA's current run of scintillating form couldn't have come at a better time, what with Sunday's fifth edition of the Hudson River Derby such a short stone's throw away.
