After a double-game week that saw the Fire pick up four points and clinch their spot in the 2017 Audi MLS Playoffs, midfielder Djordje Mihailovic and forward Nemanja Nikolic were selected to Major League Soccer's Team of the Week for Week 30.


Mihailovic picked up his first career goal in last Wednesday's big 4-1 victory over the Earthquakes in San Jose, and assisted on the game-winner that formally locked up his team's spot in the postseason. He then went the full 90 in Saturday night's 1-1 draw against NYCFC, helping keep the Fire on track to earn a home match in the 2017 postseason.


Nikolic scored his 19th and 20th goals of the season in San Jose, breaking the Chicago Fire's single-season goal record previously held by Ante Razov. He then added his 21st on Saturday against New York City, which put him back on top of the MLS Golden Boot standings ahead of David Villa and Portland's Diego Valeri.
