Predictions
Starting XI
Gerónimo Rulli – GK – 84 → 87
7 Saves & Clean Sheet / 0-0 draw against FC Twente / 8.5 WhoScored match rating
The Argentine was tested multiple times throughout his match, with his side going down to ten men in the first half. The ‘keeper made seven saves and received the highest match rating as he kept a clean sheet.
Nordi Mukiele – RWB – 79 → 84
2 Assists & Clean Sheet / 2-0 win against Angers / 8.2 WhoScored match rating
The French wingback picked up two assists and received the highest match rating as PSG secured an important three points.
Andrei Girotto – CB – 78 → 84
1 Goal & Clean Sheet / 3-0 win against Montpellier / 9.0 WhoScored match rating
The Brazilian was rock solid at the heart of his side’s defense. With a goal, a clean sheet, and the highest match rating, we’d be confident of his inclusion in the squad.

Jordan Beyer – CB – 74 → 83
1 Goal & Clean Sheet / 1-0 win against Coventry / 8.7 WhoScored match rating
The German scored an 82nd-minute winner as Burnley continued their goal to return to England’s top flight. With the new TOTW upgrade system, Beyer could be a quality item.
Przemysław Frankowski – LWB – 76 → 83
1 Goal & Clean Sheet / 1-0 win against Auxerre / 8.0 WhoScored match rating
The Polish defender scored the only goal of the game whilst also keeping a clean sheet. Lens are keeping the pace on PSG but can they win an unlikely Ligue 1 title?
Orkun Kökçü – CM – 79 → 84
1 Goal / 3-0 win against FC Groningen / 8.9 WhoScored match rating
The Turkish midfielder has been unlucky not to receive a TOTW item in FIFA 23. With a goal and the highest match rating, this could be the week he finally features.
James Ward-Prowse – CM – 81 → 85
2 Goals / 2-1 win against Everton / 8.9 WhoScored match rating
The free-kick maestro himself scored yet another against Everton. Ward-Prowse’s double at Goodison secured an all-important three points in this Premier League relegation battle fixture.
Marcus Rashford – LW → LM – 84 → 87
1 Goal / 2-1 win against Manchester City / 7.5 WhoScored match rating
It’s hard to believe that Rashford has yet to get a TOTW item in FIFA 23. The English forward was the talk of the weekend after a controversial offside decision but with one goal in a derby fixture, it could be enough to warrant a place in the squad.
Wissam Ben Yedder – ST – 86 → 88
3 Goals / 7-1 win against AC Ajaccio / 9.4 WhoScored match rating
The Frenchman only recently received a FUT Centurions item in Team 1, but with a hat trick, it will be hard to ignore him for TOTW 12.
Jonathan David – ST – 82 → 85
2 Goals / 5-1 win against Troyes / 9.1 WhoScored match rating
The Canadian struck twice as his side got a comfortable win. Mohamed Bayo also scored twice, but we have gone with David as he got a higher match rating and is overall a better FIFA 23 item.
Khvicha Kvaratskhelia – LW – 74 → 83
1 Goal & 2 Assists / 5-1 win against Juventus / 9.8 WhoScored match rating
It’s been a long time coming, but Kvaradona may finally get a special item in FIFA 23. Victor Osimhen is also a likely contender with 2 goals and an assist, but we feel that the Georgian would be a more interesting inclusion, especially if he receives the featured TOTW boost as well!

Subs
Aaron Ramsdale – GK – 82 → 85
7 Saves & Clean Sheet / 2-0 win against Tottenham Hotspur / 8.7 WhoScored match rating
It feels wrong to have Ramsdale on the bench, but he was immense as the Gunners continue their fine form. The Englishman helped deny their North London rivals from scoring with some excellent stops.

Léo Dubois – RB → LB – 76 → 83
1 Assist & Clean Sheet / 4-0 win against Hatayaspor / 8.0 WhoScored match rating
The Frenchman was not the first choice in this game, as Juan Mata scored twice. However, the Spaniard is currently not on FIFA, and the right-back had the second-highest match rating.
Khephren Thuram – CM → CAM – 77 → 83
1 Goal & 1 Assist / 6-1 win against Montpellier / 9.0 WhoScored match rating
The OGC Nice midfielder is one of football’s hottest prospects, and it’s clear why. With 1 goal and 1 assist, he is in with a shout to feature in FIFA 23 TOTW 12.
Ademola Lookman – LM → RW – 77 → 83
2 Goals & 1 Assist / 8-2 win against Salernitana / 9.3 WhoScored match rating
There have been quite a lot of goals scored this weekend, and Lookman got in on the action in a huge 8-2 win. The English forward scored twice, assisted once, and received the highest match rating.
Brennan Johnson – RW → ST – 75 → 83
2 Goals / 2-0 win against Leicester City / 8.6 WhoScored match rating
Another massive fixture at the bottom of the Premier League, and Johnson was vital in winning the game for his side. This was a toss-up choice between Gibbs-White, who assisted twice, and the Welshman. However, we went for Johnson as he makes for the more interesting inform!
Teemu Pukki – ST – 75 → 83
2 Goals & 1 Assist / 4-0 win against Preston / 9.5 WhoScored match rating
The Pukki party has arrived! It perhaps hasn’t been the season they hoped for, but Pukki’s three contributions were massive in the race for the play-off spots in the EFL Championship.
Gianluca Caprari – CF – 78 → 84
2 Goals / 3-2 win against Cremonese / 7.4 WhoScored match rating
The Italian forward struck twice as Monza secured a 3-2 win.
Reserves
Ertaç Özbir – GK – 70 → 81
10 Saves / 3-1 win against Ankaragucu / 9.2 WhoScored match rating
The Turkish ‘keeper made a total of 10 saves! His heroics between the sticks gave his team all three points.
Teddy Teuma – CM- 75 → 83
1 Goal & 1 Assist / 2-0 win against Royal Antwerp / 8.7 WhoScored match rating
The Maltese midfielder had a hand in both his sides goal. Coupled with a high match rating, he has an outside shot at TOTW 12.
Samu – CM → CAM – 72 → 81
2 Assists / 3-0 win against Maritimo / 8.2 WhoScored match rating
The Portuguese midfielder assisted twice as his side went on to win. Bruno Wilson could also be in with a shout for FIFA 23 TOTW 12; however, we have gone for Samu in our prediction.
Olivier Kemen – CM – 70 → 81
2 Goals & 1 Assist / 4-1 win against Kayserispor / 9.9 WhoScored match rating
The Frenchman is one of the most obvious shouts this week. The central midfielder had an almost perfect match rating in his side’s 4-1 win.
Quentin Cornette – RW – 66 → 79
3 Goals / 3-1 win against Nîmes Olympique / 8.8 SofaScore match rating
A hat trick for Cornette should cement his place in the TOTW squad.
