Newcastle star rewarded for stellar display as FIFA 19 Ultimate Team TOTW 31 is revealed

Newcastle defender Fabian Schar has been rewarded for his brilliant performance in the Magpies' 1-0 win against Leicester, after being named in the FIFA 19 Ultimate Team TOTW 31 lineup.

The Switzerland international was outstanding at the back for Rafael Benitez's side and his inclusion is fully deserved.

This is Schar's second TOTW appearance, meaning he has now got two in-form cards this season, with the latest rated at 86 overall.

The likes of Kevin De Bruyne, Ryan Fraser, Lucas Moura, Kalidou Koulibaly, Kingsley Coman and former Toon defender Mathieu Debuchy are also included.

Dwight Gayle admits that he could see his future away from Newcastle United 

Newcastle loanee Dwight Gayle gets a place on the TOTW 31 bench, after his hat-trick for West Brom against Preston this weekend.

The TOTW line-up is picked on single performances only, so goals and assists are not added accumulatively within the TOTW period.

Also, players who were included in last week's TOTW are not eligible for selection this week, nor are players who have been involved in a recent promotion. 

Here is the FIFA 19 FUT TOTW 31 starting XI in full.
