FIFA 23 TOTW 8 Predictions
Starting XI
Manuel Riemann – GK – 79 → 82
5 saves & clean sheet / 1-0 win against Augsburg / 7.9 WhoScored Match Rating
Once again it was a tough week to choose a keeper. We chose Riemann as he had the highest match rating for Bochum and kept a clean sheet.
Tiago Djalo – CB – 75 → 81
1 goal & a clean sheet / 1-0 win against Angers / 8 WhoScored Match Rating
Despite going down to ten men, Lille managed to hold on for a 1-0 win. It was that man Djalo who scored the goal and led his side to the win.

Tah scored and hung on to keep a clean sheet as Xabi Alonso picked up another win as Leverkusen’s manager.
Nuno Mendes – LB – 80 → 83
2 assists & clean sheet / 5-0 win against Auxerre / 8.4 WhoScored Match Rating
The Portuguese left-back was excellent as his side blasted 5 goals into the Auxerre net. Mendes will be happy to go into the World Cup in top form and a TOTW item will certainly offer great links to the meta PSG players in FIFA 23!
Jamal Musiala – CM – 84 → 86
2 assists / 2-0 win against Schalke 04 / 8.5 WhoScored Match Rating
Musiala assisted both goals in Bayern’s 2-0 win. A second inform would give Musiala a really nice item!
Rodrigo Bentancur – CM – 86 → 87
2 goals / 4-3 win against Leeds United / 8.3 WhoScored Match Rating
What a turnaround for Spurs this was. Conte’s side was not ahead at any point of the match until the 83rd minute when Bentancur popped up for his second.
This was a crucial win and Bentancur was an important part of these three points
Vincenzo Grifo – LM – 84 → 86
3 goals / 4-1 win against Union Berlin / 9.3 WhoScored Match Rating
The Italian scored a hat-trick which makes him a sure shot for TOTW 9
Jonas Hofmann – CAM → RM – 84 → 86
1 goal & 2 assists / 4-2 win against Borussia Dortmund / 8.6 WhoScored Match Rating
Hofmann is in line for a second TOTW item after scoring and assisting twice against Dortmund. While not an appealing right midfielder, Hofmann has CAM as his secondary position.
An 86-rated Hofmann could be a nice addition to your squads!
Darwin Nunez – ST → LW – 82 → 84
Two goals / 3-1 win against Southampton / 8.5 WhoScored Match Rating
Nunez has had a rocky start to life at Liverpool but the Uruguayan has been finding form just in time for the World Cup. The No.27’s two goals certainly make him a contender and his OTW is set to go to an 86 OVR!
Ivan Toney – ST – 77 → 81
2 goals / 2-1 win against Manchester City / 8.9 WhoScored Match Rating
Wow, what a performance from Ivan Toney. The Englishman sent a loud and clear message to Gareth Southgate that he should have been on that plane to Qatar.

Moise Kean – ST – 78 → 82

Ramos scored twice in Benfica’s win. We have previously predicted Ramos to appear in two other TOTWs, perhaps this is the week he appears!
Danny Ings – ST – 79 → 82
2 goals / 2-1 win against Brighton / 8.7 WhoScored Match Rating
Ings’ two goals against Brighton helped Unai Emery continue his unbeaten return in the Premier League. Villa are looking more dangerous under the Spaniard
Reserves
Zian Flemming – CAM – 73 → 79
3 goals / 4-2 win against Preston / 9.8 WhoScored Match Rating
Flemming scored a hat-trick pretty much guaranteeing him in TOTW 9! The Dutchman has a pretty well rounded silver card so an upgrade would make a pretty nice addition if anyone has a championship team!
Tim Kleindienst – ST – 71 → 78
2 goals & 1 assist / 5-4 win against Jahn Regensburg / 9.3 WhoScored Match Rating
There were a lot of goals across the Bundesliga second and third tiers so it has been quite a tough choice on who would make TOTW 9. We’ve gone for Kleindienst due to his goal involvements and match rating.
