EA Sports FC 26’s Team of the Week returns with TOTW 20, once again spotlighting the standout performers from domestic leagues and international competitions. As always, this week’s squad blends elite men’s and women’s footballers, rewarding match-winning moments with significant Ultimate Team upgrades.

With several meta-relevant cards and a major promo right around the corner, TOTW 20 arrives at a pivotal moment for FC 26 Ultimate Team players.

FC 26 TOTW 20 Highlights

Man’s Standout: Matheus Cunha (LM – 87)

The headline man’s card this week goes to Matheus Cunha, following a clutch, game-defining goal that helped Manchester United secure a vital win. His performance not only delivered three points for the Red Devils but also tightened the Premier League title race. With Aston Villa and Manchester City now closing in on Arsenal, the league’s top spot looks far less secure than it did just weeks ago—especially after Arsenal’s Martinelli featured in TOTW 18. Cunha’s TOTW card reflects both his decisive impact and growing importance in United’s attack.

Best Overall Card: Mead (RM – 88)

The strongest card in TOTW 20 belongs to Mead, Arsenal’s right midfielder in the women’s game. Her dominant showing in a statement win over Chelsea earns her an 88-rated inform, making her the squad's highest-rated player. That victory also had major implications for the league table, bringing Arsenal within touching distance of Chelsea, 26 points to 27, intensifying the title race. In Ultimate Team terms, Mead’s card offers pace, dribbling, and versatility—ideal for hybrid squads and women’s league-focused builds.
