Paris Saint-Germain star Lionel Messi headlines the FIFA 23 Team of the Week 18 (TOTW 18) squad, which is now available in Ultimate Team.
After scoring a goal and registering two assists in a 3-0 win over Marseille, Messi has been included in the FIFA 23 TOTW 18 squad, with the Argentine rated 92 overall. FUT fans were also hoping that Messi would be joined by Cristiano Ronaldo in the same TOTW squad for the first time since FIFA 16 after the Portuguese international bagged a hat-trick, but the Al Nassr striker misses out.
Players from Bayern Munich, Tottenham, Borussia Dortmund, Atletico Madrid and more also feature in the squad. The FIFA 23 TOTW 18 squad is live in Ultimate Team packs now and will be available until Wednesday, March 8 at 5.59pm GMT/ 12.59pm ET/ 9.59am PT.
