*The team of the week is picked completely objectively, all based on an algorithm that calculates each player's stats and generates a total score - The player with the highest "value" is then selected in each position. Players cannot be selected out of position.

As such, the interchange players are chosen from players who start the match from the bench and are there to give an indication of the players who performed best in that role.
