Kevin De Bruyne spearheads star-studded TOTW 17 lineup in FIFA 23 Ultimate Team
Team of the Week is a way for EA Sports to incorporate the real-world aspect of football into Ultimate Team by rewarding the best performers with special cards in FUT. This practice has continued in FIFA 23, with TOTW 17 featuring some of the most popular players in the sport.
Manchester City's dominance in the Premier League over the last decade can largely be attributed to the quality of their midfield. Kevin De Bruyne has been the driving force behind their success, and the Belgian once again proved his mettle with a Man of the Match performance against Nottingham Forrest. While the Citizens did not win, a draw kept them in the title race due to De Bruyne's heroics.
On the other side of Manchester, the Red Devils continued their impressive run with a resounding win over Leicester City. Marcus Rashford and Bruno Fernandes stole the show with their goals and assists, with the Portuguese maestro being included in TOTW 17 of FIFA 23.

Which are the best cards featured in the squad?
As the headlining cards on the roster, De Bruyne and Bruno Fernandes are by far the most overpowered inclusions in the TOTW 17 squad. They will be effective box-to-box midfielders in FIFA Ultime Team 23, and their abilities will undoubtedly be reflected in their value in the FUT transfer market.
Despite not possessing the pace to be considered elite-tier in the current meta of FIFA 23, the likes of Marco Reus and Ciro Immobile still have the stats to be effective in their respective positions. Viktor Tsygankov and Fecundo Medina will also serve as overpowered options for budget squads.
