The world of football was rocked this past week by news of the death of Diego Maradona at age 60. Supremely gifted and a man who loved football to his core there was probably no better way to commemorate his legacy than to continue playing, and that is what happened, and in the world of FIFA 21, that means a new team of the week to look forward to.
It was a weekend of attacking might and for previously forgotten players to prove that they can still make a big impact.
Cavani came off the bench for Manchester United to spark a stunning comeback as the Red Devils turned around a two-goal deficit to secure victory at Southampton. The Saints, with James Ward-Prowse pulling the strings, had dominated up until that point.
Greizman got a goal and an assist in a game that will be more remembered for the tributes for former player and footballing royalty Diego Maradona.

In the Fenerbache vs Besktikas game, a fierce intra-city rivalry if there ever was one, Vincent Aboubakar was the hero with the former Porto man grabbing a double in a 4-3 win. The type of performance that is sure to get you in Team of the Week.
On Saturday, Mahrez re-ignited Man City's title hopes with a stunning hat-trick against Brighton.
