The defender played both matches for the Republic of Ireland in their games against Georgia and Switzerland over the international break – keeping a clean sheet in the former, and has been rewarded with a place in the fifth selection of the season. 

Duffy, who was joined on Irish international duty by Albion teammate Aaron Connolly, has been chosen as one of seven Premier League faces, including the likes of Harry Kane and Ilkay Gundogan, after the latest round of European Championship qualifiers.

His selection comes after fellow central defender Lewis Dunk was also chosen in last week’s EA Sports FUT side following an impressive performance, including a clean sheet and an assist, in the 3-0 win over Tottenham Hotspur at the Amex Stadium. 

Duffy will be available in packs to supporters from 6pm this evening, and until next Wednesday.
