The fifth instalment of the Team of the Week for FIFA 22 Ultimate Team has been revealed, as players return to club exploits following last week's rewards for international performances.
Here, Sports Mole takes a closer look at the standout performers to make the cut this week as well all of the players to have been rewarded with a coveted in-form card.
Roberto Firmino - 86
Roberto Firmino has had to be patient for his starts in a Liverpool shirt this term, but with Diogo Jota only making the bench at Watford after an injury scare, the Brazilian grasped his opportunity with both hands.
Firmino struck three of his side's five goals against the Hornets and also claimed an assist for Mohamed Salah's spectacular effort on the day, which unsurprisingly earned him another start in the Champions League versus Atletico Madrid.
The 30-year-old returns to an 86-rated card with this week's in-form, and while 79 pace may not make him too appealing in the CF or ST role, stats of 90 dribbling, 80 shooting and 79 physical could make him an enticing option in the hole.
Ansu Fati - 81
Back from injury as strong as ever before, teenage sensation Ansu Fati has already forced his way back into the Barcelona first XI and repaid Ronald Koeman's faith in him with a standout showing against Valencia.
After Jose Gaya's thunderbolt opened the scoring for Valencia, Fati took all of eight minutes to equalise at Camp Nou with a delightful effort from outside the area to set the Blaugrana on their way to a pivotal 3-1 success.
The 18-year-old has been handed a bumper +5 upgrade from his normal 76-rated card to an 81 here, while stats of 91 pace, 84 dribbling and 80 shooting are not to be ignored by those seeking wide options for their La Liga teams.
Jude Bellingham - 82
Another player in this TOTW who continues to defy his age, Dortmund starlet Jude Bellingham produced a man-of-the-match performance for Borussia Dortmund to see them to a 3-1 success over Mainz in the weekend's Bundesliga clash.
Bellingham provided the assist for Erling Braut Haaland's clincher in the final few seconds, succeeded with three out of four dribble attempts, posted an 82% pass accuracy and won seven ground duels during an all-action display.
The England international has also been handed a tasty upgrade to an 82-rated item from his base 79, and with 73 shooting representing his lowest card stat, Bellingham is sure to represent a fairly-priced option in the engine room.
