Every week, EA Sports compiles the 18 best performances by footballers in real-world fixtures and creates a Team of the Week based upon them, with each player receiving an inform card that upgrades their overall stats in FIFA 15’s Ultimate Team mode.
Following on from last week’s Team of the Week featuring Barcelona’s Lionel Messi, Arjen Robben, Bayern Munich veteran winger, leads this week’s Team of the Week with his overall bumped up to a rating of 91, as the 30-year-old Dutch forward scored twice in Bayern Munich 4-0 victory over Hannover 96 at the Allianz Arena.
Chelsea’s right-back Branislav Ivanović (upgraded to 82) makes his appearance in the starting line-up after a strong performance in their recent match against Arsenal, but joining him from the Barclays Premier League is none other than Manchester United’s goalkeeper David de Gea (upgraded to 84), who played a vital role in his team’s 2-1 victory against Everton last weekend.

Sunderland’s Steven Fletcher (rated 78), Wolfsburg’s Naldo (rated 81), Napoli’s Lorenzo Insigne (rated 80) and Juventus’ Leonardo Bonucci (rated 80) are some of the other notable faces from this week’s Team of the Week.
However, one distinguished footballer absent from this week’s Team of the Week is Real Madrid’s winger Cristiano Ronaldo (featured in Team of the Week from September 24th to October 1st), who completed a third hat-trick in his last four La Liga fixtures.
You can find all 18 footballers and their upgraded stats on EA Sports’ official website.
