Lionel Messi Headlines TOTW 25
One of the biggest highlights in TOTW 25 is the inclusion of Lionel Messi, who continues to shine for Inter Miami CF. The Argentine legend delivered a memorable performance in the Florida Derby, scoring two goals to secure a major victory for his side.
As a result, Messi receives his third Team of the Week card in FC 26, bringing another upgraded version to Ultimate Team. This latest item includes the Dead Ball PlayStyles+, reflecting the precision free-kick goal he scored during the match.
For Ultimate Team players, this card is particularly appealing due to Messi’s elite technical stats, including dribbling, passing, and finishing. Combined with the PlayStyles+ upgrade, his TOTW item could easily become a game-changing attacking option for squads built around La Liga legends or MLS hybrids.
Joshua Kimmich Tops the Ratings
The highest-rated player in TOTW 25 is Joshua Kimmich with a 90 overall rating. The German midfielder was instrumental in FC Bayern Munich’s dramatic victory against Borussia Dortmund in the Bundesliga.
Kimmich scored the winning goal in the final minutes of the match, securing a crucial win in one of Germany’s most intense rivalries. His TOTW card reflects his importance on the pitch, with significant boosts to passing, defensive awareness, and stamina.
In Ultimate Team, Kimmich’s versatility remains one of his strongest attributes. Whether deployed as a defensive midfielder, deep playmaker, or box-to-box engine, his upgraded card fits perfectly into Bundesliga squads and hybrid team builds.
Featured Players with Major Upgrades
In addition to the headline names, TOTW 25 also includes several featured players, who receive larger attribute boosts compared to standard in-form items.
Among the most notable are:
· Mikkel Damsgaard

These featured cards typically provide improved pace, dribbling, and overall performance boosts, making them valuable options for players looking for strong alternatives to the more expensive superstar items.
Value Picks and Hidden Gems

Players such as Romelu Lukaku and Jurriën Timber offer strong physical and defensive attributes, while midfielders like João Gomes and Farès Chaïbi provide solid options for balanced midfield setups. These cards are often overlooked compared to the marquee names, but can be extremely effective in squad rotation or league-specific team compositions.
