FIFA 21 TOTW 31 predictions ft. Haaland, Griezmann, Pickford

It may be that time of year when FIFA Ultimate Team is in the grip of a Team of the Season mania but that doesn't mean the football has stopped, with most of the major European leagues still having five or six games to go.

With still much to still play for, that means more chances for players to earn a place in the Team of the Week and the reward of a boosted IF card. We take a look at the last week's football to see who you could be unpacking come Wednesday.

This week we saw Dortmund's Erling Haaland continue his goalscoring form with two against Wolfsburg, while Barcelona's Antoine Greizmann matched that feat with his double against Villareal.

It's a pair of performances that both earn them a place in our TOTW 31 predictions.

There was also a resolute, and important, defensive performance from Inter centre-back Stefan de Vrij. The league leaders will be feeling the pressure with the chance to bring an end to rivals', Juventus' nine consecutive league titles. Their 1-0 win against Verona this weekend means if they avoid defeat next week their champions.
