FIFA 22 Ultimate Team players have been eagerly anticipating the release of the 12th instalment of the Team of the Week, with players from across the globe seeing their stats boosted following stellar displays in their respective leagues.
Here, Sports Mole takes a closer look at the standout performers to make the cut this week as well all the players to have been rewarded with a coveted in-form card.
BERNARDO SILVA - 87

Despite Pep Guardiola's admission that Bernardo Silva wanted a move away from the club over the summer, the Portuguese superstar could hardly be in better form for Manchester City and stole the show against Watford at Vicarage Road.
After lashing home a stunning strike to propel his side to victory over Aston Villa, Silva scored two of his side's goals against Watford - with his second a truly delightful strike - while he also made four key passes and completed 93% of his passes on the day.
The former Monaco man has been rewarded for his stellar showings with an 87-rated item boasting 82 pace, 84 passing and a whopping 92 dribbling, making him an attractive option for those Premier League sides.
JORDAN HENDERSON - 86

As if he had not already endeared himself to the Liverpool supporters enough, multiple goal contributions in the Merseyside derby saw Jordan Henderson light up Goodison Park with the captain's armband in tow.
After opening the scoring for Liverpool with a beautifully-placed effort, Henderson found Mohamed Salah for his teammate to double the lead, and the Reds did not look back following the skipper's early contributions.
The Reds captain is not exactly a highly sought-after item in FUT, with his 86-rated in-form boasting just 69 pace, but 85 passing, 83 physical and 80 defending could appeal to those looking to beef up their midfield.
KINGSLEY COMAN - 87

December's Der Klassiker will be best remembered for Jude Bellingham's scathing post-match comments towards referee Felix Zwayer, but Kingsley Coman also enjoyed a positive outing at the Westfalenstadion.
With the two sides level pegging at 1-1 heading into the half-time break, Coman pounced on a loose ball inside the area before seeing his deflected effort sail into the roof of the net, while he also completed 81% of his passes and succeeded in two of his three dribble attempts.
Already a highly-coveted Ultimate Team item, Coman's 87-rated in-form catches the eye with 94 pace and 89 dribbling, with those stats alone making him a dream option on the flanks.
