Following his strong performances in the Nations League, we could see an inform Kylian Mbappé in week four.
With normal league action paused in most of the top leagues last week, the focus for the fourth Team of the Week is on international matches. On the one hand, qualifying matches for the 2022 World Cup were played here, but also the semi-final and final matches of the Nations League were played.
In the fourth edition of TOTW, we could expect some extremely strong meta-relevenate cards on Wednesday. Especially Kylian Mbappé stands out here.
Prediction for TOTW 4
Top candidates for week 4
- Kylian Mbappé (Paris Saint-Germain, France) – 92
- Keylor Navas (Paris Saint-Germain, Costa Rica) – 89
- Andy Robertson (Liverpool FC, Scotland) – 88
- Riyad Mahrez (Manchester City, Algeria) – 87
- Achraf Hakimi (Paris Saint-Germain, Morocco) – 86
Youngster Kylian Mbappé is also increasingly developing into a leading player in the French national team. Last week, he showed all his skills in the Nations League and managed to score a whole four points. The 22-year-old scored one goal and set up one in the semi-final against Belgium. He repeated this in the final against Spain and ensured the Equipe tricolore won the tournament. If the Frenchman gets an inform, we would have one of the best players in TOTW very early in FIFA 22.
Last Friday, Honduras and Costa Rica faced each other in the qualifiers for the 2022 World Cup. With a total of 24 shots, Honduras did a lot offensively but could not get past the strong PSG keeper Keylor Navas. Navas made a total of five saves, kept a clean sheet at the back and was also named Man-of-the-Match.
In contrast to the LV position at Liverpool FC, Andy Robertson started at left midfield with the Scottish national team in the qualifier against Israel and thus provided further offensive impetus. The captain set up two goals in the 3-2 win and was instrumental in the victory. The Scots celebrated the team at the end as if they had won the World Cup.
The Algerian national team, led by Manchester City star Riyad Mahrez, won 6-1 against Niger in Friday night’s match. Mahrez and fellow striker Slimani stood out in particular as they kept things ticking over up front. With two goals and an assist of his own, Mahrez is a top contender for an inform in TOTW 4.
Morocco faced Guinea-Bissau twice during the week. In total, the Marroccans were able to claim a commanding 8-0 victory (5-0 and 3-0) in both matches. PSG defender Achraf Hakimi started from the beginning in both games, defended the nil at the back and made a solid impression overall. In the first game, he scored the opening goal to make it 1-0. If this performance is enough for an Inform, Hakimi would receive his first OTW upgrade in FIFA 22.
