The first Team of the Week (TOTW) in EA Sports FC 26 is finally here, and with it comes the excitement of the game's imminent full release. As predicted in our earlier TOTW 1 forecast, EA has delivered a squad stacked with star power—perfect for injecting hype into Ultimate Team right before launch.

For those diving into the Web App, some of these cards are already within reach, but they'll only truly shine once early access begins. Let's take a closer look at who cut TOTW 1 in FC 26.

A Strong Start to the TOTW Promo

Leading the way are two of the most prolific goal scorers in modern football: Erling Haaland and Harry Kane. Both strikers put in stellar performances for their clubs, making their inclusion inevitable. With Haaland's sheer pace and finishing ability and Kane's playmaking, combined with lethal shooting, these cards are guaranteed to slot into early squads everywhere.

Midfield maestro Luka Modric, now at A.C. Milan, also headlines TOTW 1. At 85 OVR, his passing and composure make him one of the best creative options available this early in the game cycle.

Another highlight is Thomas Müller, who continues to reinvent himself while playing in North America, and still earns a TOTW nod for his contributions. Oberdorf, Marcos Llorente, Grimaldo, and Pavard also stand out as versatile options with excellent links.

What makes this TOTW particularly exciting is the mix of established legends and fresh breakout stars. Premier League newcomers Semenyo and Bergvall are rewarded for their recent performances, offering budget-friendly but highly usable early-game cards.

The timing of TOTW 1 couldn't be better. With the FC 26 Web App live, players can already trade, build squads, and chase these new in-forms on the transfer market. While gameplay access through early release isn't available just yet, ambitious players can stockpile investments and prepare their dream lineups now.

Final Thoughts

EA has kicked off FC 26's first TOTW with an exciting balance of superstar headliners and underrated talents. Between Haaland, Kane, and Modric, the promo features several cards strong enough to anchor squads from day one. Meanwhile, hidden gems like Semenyo, Bergvall, and Yildiz add flavor for those looking to build creative starter teams.

If this squad is anything to go by, the quality of TOTW promos in FC 26 looks promising—and fans can only hope the momentum carries into future weeks.
