Each FIFA release, there’s an interesting Team of the Week ⁠— one that finds itself squeezed right in the middle of the Team of the Year celebrations. This year, it’s TOTW 18.

While many of the year’s top stars have already been included in a stunning TOTY lineup, which includes top-class picks like Ronaldo, De Bruyne, and Mbappe, the year’s 18th in-form squad certainly doesn’t disappoint either;  Neymar Jr, Karim Benzema, Bernardo Silva, and Frenkie De Jong all made the cut.

On top of that, Burnley’s Nick Pope was slotted in for his titanic efforts at Anfield – helping end Liverpool’s 68-match unbeaten streak at home with a heroic clean sheet and a MOTM performance.

Here’s everything we know about the mid-week FIFA 21 promo so far, including when the Team of the Week lineup will drop and Dexerto’s weekly predictions.
