Riyad Mahrez and Michy Batshuayi have been included in the latest FIFA Team of the Week after playing key roles for Manchester City and Crystal Palace as their respective sides won on the last day of the Premier League campaign.

After being left out of the previous five Premier League games, Mahrez proved important with a goal and an assist to help City seal the Premier League title with a 4-1 win at Brighton. 

Belgian striker Batshuayi, meanwhile, netted twice within eight minutes to put Palace ahead as they went on to finish the season with a 5-3 win at home against Bournemouth.
