Team of the Week · Samoa

How the eleven is picked

The SpotXI Performance formula, applied only to the matches of the week, Monday to Sunday, Paris time.

Every player of the week is ranked from a single match: the formula pulls players with few matches towards the average, so one good match is not enough.

The best of each line, in a 3-1-4-2, each player in one position only. Of the five midfielders, the one with the most tackles won per match plays alone in front of the defence. A hidden profile never appears.

Player of the Week: the most goals and assists combined; on a tie, the best Performance.

A place no player in that position can fill goes to the best remaining player, marked “Out of position”. With nobody left, it stays empty.
