Goalkeeper: Alisson - Liverpool

Manchester United v Liverpool FC - Premier League

Liverpool's trip to Manchester United was eagerly awaited by Premier League fans, although few expected Alisson to be the busier of the two goalkeepers. While this was mainly due to Liverpool's toothless attack, Alisson still managed to produce a stunning save that prevented Jesse Lingard from giving United a first-half lead.

In all, Alisson only faced three shots on target, although his stop from Lingard ensured that Jurgen Klopp's side returned to the top of the league. The clean sheet was also Alisson's 15th of the season, and the Brazilian is likely to see at least a one or two point increase over his base 87 rated card.

Defender: Layvin Kurzawa - PSG

Paris Saint-Germain v Celtic FC - UEFA Champions League

Since joining PSG back in 2015, Layvin Kurzawa has struggled to hold down a regular starting place. Nevertheless, the 26-year-old has recently hit a purple patch of form, and during PSG's 5-1 midweek win over Montpellier, Kurzawa scored once while adding two assists.

The French fullback also impressed during PSG's weekend victory over Nimes, and Kurzawa is likely to make the FIFA Team of the Week for the first time this season. The PSG star's base rating is 79, although this is likely to jump to at least 82 on Wednesday.

Midfield: Gerard Deulofeu - Watford

Cardiff City v Watford FC - Premier League

During Watford's 5-1 win over Cardiff City, Gerard Deulofeu became the first player in Watford's history to score a hat-trick in the Premier League. The Spanish winger also took his league tally for the season to six, which is already the most that he has managed in a campaign, and there is no doubting that the former Barcelona man is finally living up to his potential.

Deulofeu's 90 pace and four-star skill rating have already made him a popular card for Ultimate Team players, and the 24-year-old is likely to become even more in demand when his first in-form card of the season arrives. FIFA fans can expect Deulofeu's 81 rating to be enhanced to anything between 83 and 85, although the card could quickly become worth well over 100,000 coins. Ultimately, an in-form Deulofeu could be particularly lethal, although be prepared to cough up the steep asking price.

Forward: Lionel Messi - Barcelona

Sevilla FC v FC Barcelona - La Liga

Lionel Messi is no stranger to FIFA's Team of the Week, although the Argentine's immensely high standards mean that he really has to stand out to make the cut. Nevertheless, Saturday was one of these occasions, as Messi's brilliant hat-trick was enough for Barcelona to inch past a stubborn Sevilla side.

Messi's three goals were a highlight real of the forward at his dominant best, and Messi was the deciding factor in Barcelona retaining their seven-point lead at the top of La Liga. The performance will undoubtedly result in Messi returning to the TOTW, and the 31-year-old's normal 94 overall is set to rise to a minimum of 96. Needless to say, Messi's latest in form card will sell for well over 1 million coins across all platforms, so Ultimate Team managers will need to sell a number of their best cards before bringing Messi onboard.
