EA FC 25 Team of the Week Release Date & Predictions for TOTW 1

EA FC 25 has ushered in a new season of Ultimate Team, marking the return of the highly anticipated Team of the Week (TOTW) cards that are a key feature of the mode.

Each year, EA SPORTS introduces new special cards, including Heroes and Icons, along with various promotional items, but the TOTW cards are released consistently. These in-form cards are awarded to the real-life players who have delivered outstanding performances in a specified game week, whether in domestic leagues or international matches.

When does EA FC 25 Team of the Week release?

A new TOTW for EA FC 25 is set to be released every Wednesday at 10 AM PT / 1 PM ET / 6 PM BST, following the schedule of previous years.

While the exact date for the first squad release hasn’t been confirmed, it is anticipated to drop on Wednesday, September 18, coinciding with the launch of the Web App. Most players may not enter the game until September 20 at the earliest, yet the developers generally ensure that a TOTW is available when the Transfer Market opens.

Lionel Messi is anticipated to be featured in TOTW 1.

What are TOTW cards?

The EA FC 25 Team of the Week cards are selected by EA SPORTS based on players’ performances in the most recent fixtures. For instance, if a striker scores a hat trick to secure a victory for their team, or a goalkeeper makes a crucial penalty save, they may find themselves included in the TOTW.

These distinctive in-form items, identifiable by their black designs, replace a player’s standard card in pack openings and come with enhancements to their statistics.

Not only do these items enhance your team with upgraded stats, but they are also often needed in Squad Building Challenges (SBCs) released throughout the year. Therefore, it’s wise to hold onto any you collect, as they can save you both time and in-game currency in the future.

EA FC 25 TOTW 1 is poised to be an exciting start to the new Ultimate Team season, with Lionel Messi highly likely to earn an in-form card. The Argentinian icon recently shone in MLS, netting two goals within four minutes to lead Inter Miami to a 3-1 victory.

Lamine Yamal is another strong candidate for the first TOTW, having scored twice against Girona. In addition, Bayern Munich players Harry Kane and Georgia Stanway contributed significantly to their team’s offensive push in the Bundesliga, with impressive goal involvement.

This page will be consistently updated with the latest TOTW squads, so be sure to monitor EA FC 25’s highest-rated players every weekend to see how they perform. If a player with exceptional speed or five-star skills is included, their cards could reshape the game’s meta.
