TOTW 24 cards will be available in packs for one week from 6 p.m. GMT (1 p.m. ET) on Wednesday.
Luis Suarez, Barcelona
Suarez's performance against Girona capped a tremendous outing for Barcelona's attacking stars:
He slotted home Lionel Messi's pass after five minutes to cancel out Portu's early opener, and he turned provider for Messi to fire Barca ahead.
The striker completed his hat-trick by converting passes from Philippe Coutinho and Ousmane Dembele.
Suarez's 95-rated card puts him among the deadliest attackers on the game, with a shooting stat of 95 setting him apart along with 91 dribbling.
His pace and physical stats are now 85, while his passing is 86, so he rightly excels in virtually every category.
Karim Benzema, Real Madrid
Benzema's form has often left much to be desired this season, but he put in a superb shift as Real beat Alaves 4-0 on Saturday.
A backheel set up Cristiano Ronaldo, and he also fed Gareth Bale to double Real's tally.
Ronaldo, after making it 3-0, returned the favour late on to show Benzema his appreciation, per ESPN FC's Dermot Corrigan:
The Frenchman's 87-rated card may not compare to Suarez's, and his below 80-rated pace and physical stats do limit his effectiveness somewhat, but he's still a strong choice for players with a La Liga-themed attack thanks to his 86 shooting and 84 dribbling.
Romelu Lukaku, Manchester United
The Belgian endured a difficult start to United's 2-1 win over Chelsea on Sunday as the Blues took the lead through Willian, and it looked as if it could become another fruitless day in front of goal for the striker against one of the Premier League's top six sides.
However, he fired home United's equaliser after a neat combination between Alexis Sanchez and Anthony Martial, and he then supplied the cross for Jesse Lingard's winning header.
ESPN's Rob Dawson hailed the latter contribution, while football writer Liam Canning also singled him out for praise:
Lukaku's shooting has been bumped up to a deadly 89, and coupled with his 85 pace and 86 physical stats, he makes for a real handful for defenders.
With a passing stat of 74 it will be difficult for him to engage in slick build-up play, but he'll be capable of finishing moves on the ground or in the air.
