One of the most exciting weekly events in EA SPORTS FC 26 has officially arrived — Team of the Week 5 (TOTW 5). Each week, EA selects standout players from the latest round of matches to receive in-form (IF) cards, which give upgraded stats and ratings to celebrate their real-life performances.
With last weekend featuring international fixtures instead of league matches, FC 26 TOTW 5 is shaped entirely by players who shone for their national teams. From dominant displays by star forwards to game-controlling midfield performances, this week’s lineup brings together some of the best global talent across both men’s and women’s football.
FC 26 TOTW 5 Officially Released
EA has now confirmed the TOTW 5 squad for EA SPORTS FC 26, and it’s one of the most balanced selections so far this season. The headline card belongs to Mohamed Salah, who leads the lineup with a phenomenal 92-rated right-wing card, recognizing his incredible form for Egypt.
This week’s team also features standout performers like Caroline Weir, Keira Walsh, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, and Cody Gakpo, reflecting the international impact of players from multiple leagues and nations.
These cards are now available in packs for a limited time, giving Ultimate Team fans the opportunity to strengthen their squads with some of football’s best recent performers.

TOTW 5 Highlights
This week’s TOTW brings together a wide range of playstyles, offering something for nearly every squad type:
• Mohamed Salah (RW, 92 OVR): The Egyptian winger headlines TOTW 5 with an elite pace and finishing boost. His in-form card is a must-have for any Premier League or hybrid lineup.
• Cody Gakpo (LW, 86 OVR): The Dutch forward adds versatility up front with strong dribbling and shooting stats, making him a great left-wing or center-forward option.
• Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (ST, 86 OVR): The veteran striker continues to prove his worth internationally, earning a lethal in-form that combines blistering speed with high finishing.
• Keira Walsh & Caroline Weir (86 OVR): A duo that brings control and creativity to midfield, ideal for players who prefer a balanced mix of passing precision and playmaking flair.
• Rúben Neves (CDM, 86 OVR): His defensive awareness and long passing make him a reliable anchor for those who like to dictate tempo from deep positions.
The inclusion of both men’s and women’s footballers in the same squad once again showcases EA SPORTS FC 26’s continued commitment to equality and authenticity in representing the sport’s top performers.
