Leading Predicted Starters for TOTW 21
Before you get to know about the full squad prediction first you have to know which players performed best this week. This will help you get a clear understanding of why they have been included in the predictions. These players are most likely to be included in the TOTW 21 squad. These players have shown excellent performance this week in terms of goals, assists, clean sheets, match winning performances and high player ratings in real matches.
Marco Carnesecchi (GK)(Atlanta)
This goalkeeper was one of the best performers of the week. His team faced a goal disadvantage in almost the whole match against Como. But he still made 9 saves and also stopped a penalty. Because of this the final score was 0-0. This makes it very likely that he will be included in this week’s TOTW squad.
Luka Vuskovic (CB)(HSV)
The young centre back scored 1 goal and helped his team draw 2-2 against Munich. He also got the Man of the Match award. Because of this his match rating also increased and you might see a high rating card in TOTW 21 squad as well.
Bremer (CB) (Juventus)
Even though Bremer is mainly a defender he still scored 2 goals and helped Juventus win 4-1 against Parma. This helped Juventus get 5 consecutive wins and more points on the table. Because of this versatility he might be included in this week’s squad.
Florian Wirtz (CAM)(Liverpool)
This German creative midfielder continued his excellent form with 1 goal and 1 assist and helped his team win 4-1 against Newcastle. Since he was already in form, this performance made his match rating even higher. Ekitike also scored 2 goals but since Wirtz also got the Man of the Match award he is very likely to be included in the squad.
Dominic Solanke (ST)(Tottenham)
Solanke scored 2 very important goals this week when Manchester City was already up by 2. Because of this the final score was 2-2 and. Solanke singlehandedly stopped his team from losing the match badly. His 2nd goal is even a Goal of the Season contender. Because of such excellent performance he is very likely to be included in the TOTW 21 squad.

There are other players as well that can be included in the squad. Let us see what the starting XI most probably will be.

Additional Contenders for TOTW 21
Other than these players there are a few players who have also played exceptionally well but because of tough competition there is less chance that they will be included.
- ST: Hugo Ekitike (Liverpool)
- RM: Lamine Yamal (Barcelona)
- CDM: Casemiro (Manchester United)
- RB: Aaron Wan-Bissaka (West Ham)
- CB: Ibrahima Konaté (Liverpool)
If EA includes a broader variety of players then these players might get included in the TOTW 21 squad. But they have already been included in the past few squads and the chance is still very low.
Conclusion
From TOTW 21 you can expect a good combination of attackers, midfielders and defenders. Many players have showed outstanding performance in real matches. If you know these predictions from before then you can create a plan beforehand about what players you can buy and you can prepare yourself accordingly.
