Marie Katoto Headlines TOTW 26
The standout player this week is Marie Katoto, whose 89-rated striker card leads the squad. The French international has been one of the most consistent attacking players recently, and her strong performances have finally earned her a Team of the Week upgrade in FC 26.
With improved pace, finishing, and physical attributes, Katoto’s TOTW item could become a strong option for players building hybrid squads or women’s football-focused teams in Ultimate Team.
Featured Players With Bigger Upgrades
Several players in TOTW 26 receive notably larger upgrades compared to others in the squad. These featured players often gain more significant stat boosts, making their cards particularly attractive for Ultimate Team squads.
The featured players this week include:
· João Pedro Junqueira de Jesus
· Nico González
· Santiago Mouriño
· Pervis Estupiñán
· Hinata Miyazawa
· Başar Önal
· Ben Waine
Among these, Pervis Estupiñán stands out as a particularly useful option due to the importance of pace and defensive attributes for full-backs in FC 26 gameplay. Meanwhile, attackers like João Pedro and Ben Waine provide fresh striker options for players looking to experiment with different attacking setups.
Limited Premier League Representation
Interestingly, Team of the Week 26 contains very few players from the English top flight. Only two players in the squad come from the Premier League, including Adam Wharton and João Pedro.
The reason for this limited representation is simple: most English clubs played FA Cup fixtures last weekend instead of league matches. Since Team of the Week selections are based on league performances, standout displays in FA Cup games are not eligible for TOTW consideration in FC 26.
This resulted in a more internationally diverse TOTW squad, with players from various leagues receiving recognition for their recent performances.
Final Thoughts
FC 26 TOTW 26 delivers a balanced lineup featuring a mix of top-tier attackers, creative midfielders, and reliable defenders. With Marie Katoto leading the squad at 89 OVR and several featured players receiving major boosts, there are plenty of new cards for Ultimate Team players to explore. The reduced presence of Premier League players also allowed stars from other leagues and competitions to shine in this week’s selection.
