The TOTW 13 squad will be released into FIFA 23 Ultimate Team later today, but one major contender is set to miss out due to the TOTY 12th man vote.
Manchester City striker Erling Haaland was the standout performer from the last week as the Norwegian notched his fourth Premier League hat-trick of the season in a 3-0 win over Wolves, but according to some leaks, the striker will not be included in the FIFA 23 TOTW 13 squad. There is reasoning behind this though, with Haaland nominated for EA Sports ' FIFA 23 TOTY 12th man, so his potential exclusion could be a big hint towards him possibly winning the TOTY 12th man vote.
Over the weekend, we also saw players from the likes of Arsenal, Napoli and Atletico Madrid produce TOTW-worthy performances, with stars from these clubs potentially set for a spot in TOTW 13. The FIFA 23 TOTW 13 squad is set to be revealed and released into packs today at 6pm GMT / 1pm ET / 10am PT.
Below are the latest FIFA 23 TOTW 13 leaks predictions ahead of the official release.
