Last week’s TOTW was highlighted by Rashford, Werner, and Ederson. This week, we’re getting even more must-have strikers and midfielders. The world’s best football players show up this week in TOTW 5 after game-changing performances in real life.

FIFA Team of the Week 5

Many of these cards are underwhelming, but there are definitely some gems in here. Luis Alberto and Kimmich will add a defensive midfield presence to any German or Bundesliga team and should go for a good price.

Premier League fans can also rejoice in seeing Zaha, with a 92 pace, as well as Joe Gomez on this list. Make sure to check all these new cards out on the market to see how they are doing over the next week.
