Each week FIFA Ultimate Team assembles the best players from international and club competition around the world. This collection of players is available to challenge in FUT.

With a good chunk of European leagues still enjoying the winter break, this week’s squad features mostly players from England’s various divisions.

On Saturday, Arsenal stayed in first place of the Barclays Premier League following their 1-0 victory over Newcastle. Defender Laurent Koscielny’s shot in the 72^nd minute was enough to give them the three points.

Also on Saturday, Anthony Martial had a goal and helped set up the winner as Manchester United won their first match of 2016, defeating Swansea City 2-1. The victory moves the club to fifth, three points behind Tottenham.

Then on Sunday, Chelsea FC left Selhurst Park with a 0-3 victory over Crystal Palace. Oscar scored the match’s opening goal in the 29^th minute, then assisted on Willian’s goal in the 60^th.
