Hakan Çalhanoğlu (87 OVR)

Inter’s deep-lying playmaker continues to impress with his precise distribution and long-range ability. His TOTW 8 card is perfect for hybrid Serie A builds or as a creative pivot in 4-2-3-1 systems.

Lucas Paquetá (84 OVR)

After finding the net again for West Ham, Paquetá’s upgrade offers a balance between flair and control. Expect sharp dribbling and solid passing — ideal for those looking for a dynamic attacking midfielder.

Mike Maignan (88 OVR)

AC Milan’s dependable shot-stopper secures another TOTW feature, boasting world-class reflexes and positioning. He’s easily one of the most reliable keepers currently available from packs.

Pedro Gonçalves (86 OVR)

The Sporting CP star receives a well-rounded CAM card, capable of contributing goals and assists in equal measure. Great for Portuguese or Liga Portugal-themed squads.
