Cristiano Ronaldo, Neymar Lead FUT Team of the Week 28 on FIFA 17 Ultimate Team

After shining with their countries on international duty, Cristiano Ronaldo and Neymar lead the line in a star-studded Team of the Week 28 in FIFA 17's Ultimate Team.

Real Madrid man Ronaldo netted a brace for Portugal in a 3-0 win over Hungary, as the European champions continued to make solid progress towards the 2018 FIFA World Cup in Russia. Neymar, meanwhile, was on the scoresheet in consecutive victories for Brazil over Uruguay and Paraguay.

Elsewhere, the team is packed full of world-class names, although it's a landmark occasion for one rising star in particular. Having helped the United States to two positive results in their qualifying matches, Borussia Dortmund's Christian Pulisic is in gold on Ultimate Team for the first time.

There is also a hero card for Lukas Podolski, as he scored in his final appearance for the German national team in their win over England last Wednesday.

Here is the full squad for Week 28, per the EA Sports FIFA Twitter feed:

Cristiano Ronaldo

In a repeat of their thrilling 3-3 draw at the summer's UEFA European Championship, Portugal met Hungary in what promised to be another absorbing game. But Ronaldo ensured the European champions were going to pick up the points in routine style.

After Andre Silva struck to give Portugal an early lead, the 32-year-old took over. Just four minutes after the opener he latched onto Silva’s brilliant assist to fire home from long range, while in the second period he found the net with a fine free-kick.

It was a brace that pushed Ronaldo on to 70 goals for his country in 137 international appearances. Per ESPN FC, he’s in fine company on that landmark:

Ronaldo then netted the opener in his team's 3-2 friendly defeat over Sweden on Tuesday to take his international haul to 71.

The result is a boost to 97 overall for Ronaldo on Ultimate Team and some pretty remarkable base statistics. Given the Madrid man is difficult enough to handle at his standard mark of 94, three attributes at 95 or higher—pace (95), dribbling (95) and shooting (96)—will mean this version of the great man will be unstoppable on the game. Plus, he'll be a cheaper alternative to the 99-rated Team of the Year version.

For Barcelona, Neymar always looks like a man enjoying his football. That's not something that could be said about the forward in Brazil colours in recent years, but with Tite at the helm, the Selecao are stirring again.

Indeed, their 3-0 win over Paraguay on Tuesday means they are the first team to officially book their place at the 2018 World Cup. During this international break, which also included a 4-1 win in Uruguay, Neymar and Co. have been nothing short of sensational.

Although Paulinho grabbed the headlines with a fine hat-trick against Uruguay, it's the Barcelona man that's been at the crux of this team's excellent displays:

Needless to say, with an in-form rating of 96 this week, Neymar's card will be coveted. He has four base statistics above the 90-point mark, including passing (91), shooting (92), pace (94) and dribbling, which tops out at a maximum 99.

For many, Pulisic has been a little hard done by in terms of his FIFA rating, with his performances for Borussia Dortmund and the USMNT befitting of a higher figure than 74. But his efforts have been recognised on the international stage with this latest boost.

Despite still being just 18 years old, Pulisic is already the key man in Bruce Arena's United States side. And when the team needed a big performance in their qualifying matches against Honduras and Panama this week, the Dortmund man helped them deliver.

Pulisic was the star man, committing opponents, finding space and slotting home the team's fourth goal in a 6-0 win. USMNT legend Landon Donovan was impressed:

In Tuesday's display against Panama he showed a different side to his game, working hard for the team, coping with some aggressive tactics from the opposition and setting up Clint Dempsey in a 1-1 draw. The teenager is well worth his boost.
