Hello and welcome to Team of the Week Predictions for Week 17. Last week was successful as expected due to low amount of league being played, but some leagues are back now and I expected some wild-card picks here and there.

Main focus was on Premier League, where Arsenal extended their lead up top with Declan Rice having a fantastic game and scoring 2 goals, McGinn helped Villa to recover after mid-week loss to Arsenal and scored 2 goals vs Forest, Thiago scored 3 more goals for Brentford and chasing Erling Haaland.

in La Liga Joan Garcia had a wonderful game vs his ex club, Gonzalo Garcia had a great game for Real Madrid and scored 3 goals and in Serie A we had some highlights as Atalanta won vs their ex-coach in 1-0 win with Scalvini scoring only goal, Lautaro lead Inter to victory and 1st place in Serie A and that’s probably it.

Few highlights from Saudi League: Milinkovic-Savic had 2 good games in a row, while Gini Wijnaldum had like 4 good games in a row, both deserve recognitions.

Apart from that: some highlights from SPL and Championship below, let’s see how it goes!
