FIFA 23 TOTW 18 squad revealed with Lionel Messi but no Cristiano Ronaldo

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.

FIFA 23 TOTW 18 squad confirmed

Messi is the highest-rated player in the TOTW 18 squad, with a host of other high-rated players including Thomas Muller, Phil Foden and Declan Rice featuring. The lowest-rated player in the starting XI is 86 overall, with both 86-rated Featured TOTW items only making the bench in a stacked TOTW squad.

Here's the confirmed FIFA 23 Ultimate Team TOTW 18 squad, as revealed by EA Sports.
