Football players that significantly contributed to their teams’ triumphs over the weekend are included in the current Team of the Week lineup. Lionel Messi helped PSG increase their advantage over Marseille in Ligue 1 with a goal and two assists, and as a result, he was given a position in the TOTW 18 squad.

The legendary forward has had an outstanding campaign to now, winning the World Cup with Argentina and other individual honors. In FIFA 23 Ultimate Team, Messi already has a number of unique cards, such as Player of the Month and Team of the Year items.

With this TOTW squad, players like Thomas Muller and Phil Foden have also been given highly valued special cards. These players are productive for their respective teams, and their influence can be seen in the most recent items they have received upgrades for.
