The FIFA 18 TOTW 5 line-up goes live at 6pm BST today, and it will be available till next Wednesday at the same time.
For those who missed the big Team of the Week reveal earlier today, the FIFA 18 TOTW 5 line-up has three Premier League players in the starting 11.
This trio are Manchester United goalkeeper David De Gea and Manchester City's Raheem Sterling and Gabriel Jesus.
UPDATE ONE: The FIFA 18 TOTW 5 line-up has been revealed, with Manchester City getting TWO players in the starting 11.
Raheem Sterling and Gabriel Jesus are in the starting line-up after the Premier League leader’s 7-2 drubbing of Stoke City over the weekend.
The FIFA 18 TOTW 5 line-up was revealed by the official EA Sports Twitter account.
They tweeted: "Hat trick at the Milan derby = 86 Icardi + 89 @Thiago6 & 84 @sterling7. #TOTW #FUT #FIFA18".
ORIGINAL: FIFA 18 gamers are gearing up for the TOTW 5 reveal, which rounds up the 23 most in-form players from around the world.
These players will get a stat boost from EA based on how well they have performed in the past week during real-life fixtures.
As usual, EA Sports will look to reveal their lineup in the early afternoon, before setting them live at around 5.45pm today.
Ultimate Team fans will then be able to get them in Gold, Silver or Bronze packs.
There’s no way for certain of knowing which 23 players will be in the FIFA 18 TOTW 5 line-up, although predictions have been made.
The team at Futhead believe a few Premier League stars could be in the running for selections this week, including Raheem Sterling.

“Yet another convincing win for City who are ruthless in front of goal, winning 7-2 against Stoke,” they explain.
“The IF/IFs could go several ways, but I feel that Sterling with a goal and two assists is the front runner for the City inclusion.
Another spotted inclusion is Man City forward Gabriel Jesus, who has also had a fine week.
“That being said I do have two Manchester City players selected for their 7-2 win," Futhead adds.
“Jesus is the second after he scored two of the said seven goals. With a lack of big name players and strikers available for the side, he becomes a strong candidate for it.”
Lazio players can expect to feature following their win over Juventus, while as mentioned above, Manchester City are also likely to be represented after demolishing Stoke City.
Inter Milan also caught the eye with their dramatic derby win over rivals AC Milan, while Luke Berry is in with a shout after bagging a hat-trick as Luton hammered Stevenage 7-1.
Gabriel Jesus scores fantastic goals for Brazil
The official FUT Team of the Week will be released on Wednesday, but Express Sport have also had a go at predicting which red-hot stars could make up the latest squad.
You can find them in the FIFA 18 Gallery above.
The new FUT lineup follows a big FIFA 18 update launched by EA Sports for PS4 and Xbox One last week.
The FIFA 18 update 1.03 is available to download now and brings with it changes to keepers and shot accuracy.
The FIFA 18 patch weighs in at 1.2GB and fixes a number of Ultimate Team issues for FUT fans and brings in some big gameplay changes.
The headline feature is reducing shot accuracy and increasing the reactions of goalkeepers in certain situation.
The tweaks to shot taking and goalkeepers in FIFA 18 should make goals now more difficult to score.
