FIFA 22 TOTW 18 predictions with FUT TOTY candidates set to miss out

The FIFA 22 Team of the Week 18 will likely not feature any of the biggest names, due to the upcoming Ultimate TOTY XI release.

Despite incredible performances from the likes of Bayern Munich striker Robert Lewandowski, Man City midfielder Kevin De Bruyne, Manchester United midfielder Bruno Fernandes, Paris Saint-Germain striker Kylian Mbappe and others, they likely won't feature in the FIFA 22 TOTW 18 due to their possible Ultimate TOTY XI inclusion.

However, the TOTW 18 could still have big names included, with players from Bayern Munich, Liverpool, Manchester City, Juventus and others having a good chance of getting an in-form this week.

Elsewhere, players from Mainz, Lens, AS Monaco, Leeds United and more could also get in-forms.

The FIFA 22 Team of the Week 18 (TOTW 18) is expected to be revealed and released into packs on Wednesday, January 19, 2022, at 18:00 pm GMT. Here are Mirror Football's FIFA 22 TOTW 18 predictions.

FIFA 22 Team of the Week 18 (TOTW 18) predictions

The FUT 22 TOTW 18 line-up will be picked on single performances only, so goals and assists are not added cumulatively within the TOTW period. Also, note that performances in domestic cup competitions do not count towards TOTW selection criteria. Only one player from any one team can be included in a TOTW line-up, barring exceptional circumstances.

Also note that players included in either of the last two TOTW line-ups are ineligible, as are players who have featured in a recent FUT 22 promo.

This is just a FUT 22 TOTW 18 prediction, so there is no guarantee that any players mentioned below will be included.

  • GK: Samir Handanovic (Inter)
  • CB: John Stones (Man City)
  • CB: Jeremiah St. Juste (FSV Mainz)
  • RB: Thilo Kehrer (Paris Saint-Germain)
  • CDM: Fabinho (Liverpool)
  • CM: Seko Fofana (Lens)
  • LM: Jack Harrison (Leeds United)
  • CAM: Thomas Muller (Bayern Munich)
  • CF: Paulo Dybala (Juventus)
  • ST: Wissam Ben Yedder (AS Monaco)
  • ST: Ciro Immobile (Lazio)

UPDATE: Fiorentina left-back Cristiano Biraghi scored twice on Monday evening, whilst Napoli forward Hirving Lazano also scored twice, so both have a good chance of making the TOTW 18 squad.

As always, more than 11 players had good individual games over the weekend, so other players that could feature in TOTW 18 are Andrew Robertson, Peter Gulacsi, Erling Haaland, Adama Traore, Jose Sa, Jonathan Clauss and more.

The EA SPORTS FIFA Team of the Week will be revealed and released into packs at 18:00 BST UK time every Wednesday throughout FUT 22.

FIFA 22 is the latest game within EA's popular FIFA video game franchise, which was released worldwide on Friday, October 1, 2021. The game is available now on all platforms including Xbox One, PS4, PS5, Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, Stadia and PC.
