FIFA 18 Ultimate Team of the Week: Di Maria and Kroos star in TOTW 20

The Real Madrid and PSG stars are joined in the best XI by the likes of Jerome Boateng and Dries Mertens

Toni Kroos and Angel Di Maria feature in a star-studded FIFA Ultimate Team Team of the Week.

Kroos was on target as Real Madrid got themselves firmly back on track in La Liga with a win over Valencia. The midfielder helped Zinedine Zidane’s side to a vital 4-1 victory in Spain’s top flight.

Di Maria also finds himself back in favour at Parc des Princes having played a starring role for Paris Saint-Germain against Montpellier in Ligue 1 last weekend.
