Kevin De Bruyne’s barnstorming performance for Manchester City in Sunday’s 3-0 win over Arsenal unsurprisingly secures him the starring role in FIFA Ultimate Team’s latest Team of the Week.

De Bruyne produced a masterclass at Emirates Stadium, scoring twice and creating another for Raheem Sterling.

The Belgian’s driving runs from midfield were a constant feature, while each of his goals were truly quality efforts. He almost got a third, too, only for a wonderful save to help another thunderous strike onto the post.

De Bruyne is the star man in an impressive attacking unit in this week’s FIFA 20 squad, with Liverpool’s Mohamed Salah leading the line after netting a brace in the Reds’ 2-0 victory over Watford.

Salah is joined in attack by Borussia Dortmund’s Jadon Sancho following fine displays against Mainz and RB Leipzig, collecting two goals and two assists across those games.

Philippe Coutinho is the other standout attacking name in the starting XI, while Jan Vertonghen offers a strong option at the back.

Below, we take a look at the latest squad in full.
