FC 26 Boosting

Next week marks the unveiling of Ultimate TOTS final lineup, but for now, La Liga squad dropping on Friday, May 15th is the most attention-worthy content.

All TOTS players for La Liga, Liga F, and Liga Portugal have already been leaked. Some powerful midfielders and defenders from La Liga look to be among the hottest picks this time around – let's dive into the specific leaked names.

Leaked Player List

La Liga is the focus for most players, with names like Kylian Mbappé and Lamine Yamal drawing the most speculation. Many are guessing who will end up with four PlayStyles+.

Over in Liga F, Claudia Pina's inclusion comes as no surprise. This outstanding winger has dominated FC 26 all year long – every one of her cards performs brilliantly. We can be almost certain she will earn a spot in Ultimate TOTS.

In Portuguese league, Suárez also carries a dangerous set of offensive PlayStyles+, but with only three PlayStyle+, his card may fall short of Yamal or Claudia Pina in terms of overall impact.

Let's break down the leaked squads for each league:

La Liga TOTS

• 97 OVR Lamine Yamal (RW): Finesse Shot+, Technical+, Rapid+, Inventive+
• 96 OVR Kylian Mbappé (ST): Low Driven Shot+, Finesse Shot+, Rapid+
• 96 OVR Pedri (CM): Finesse Shot+, Pinged Pass+, Rapid+
• 96 OVR Eric Garcia (CB): Anticipate+, Bruiser+, Jockey+
• 95 OVR Marcos Llorente (RB): Pinged Pass+, Intercept+, Quick Step+
• 95 OVR Vedat Muriqi (ST): Low Driven Shot+, Power Shot+, Quick Step+
• 95 OVR Aurélien Tchouaméni (CDM): Intercept+, Jockey+, Incisive Pass+
• 95 OVR Carlos Romero (LB): Jockey+, Whipped Pass+, Quick Step+
• 94 OVR Federico Valverde (CM): Incisive Pass+, Pinged Pass+, Anticipate+
• 94 OVR Arda Güler (CAM): Finesse Shot+, Inventive+, Quick Step+
• 94 OVR Joan Garcia (GK): Cross Claimer+, Deflector+, Long Ball Pass+
• 93 OVR Raphinha (LW): Rapid+, Quick Step+, Low Driven Shot+
• 93 OVR Pau Cubarsí (CB): Intercept+, Anticipate+, Jockey+
• 93 OVR Santiago Mouriño (RB): Bruiser+, Anticipate+, Block+
• 92 OVR Thibaut Courtois (GK): Far Reach+, Footwork+, Pinged Pass+
• 92 OVR Moleiro (LM): Finesse Shot+, Inventive+, Technical+
• 92 OVR Pablo Fornals (CM): Incisive Pass+, Tiki Taka+, First Touch+
• 92 OVR Pubill (CB): Bruiser+, Aerial Fortress+, Quick Step+
• 91 OVR Fermín (CAM): Pinged Pass+, Technical+, Quick Step+
• 91 OVR Oyarzabal (ST): Finesse Shot+, Technical+, Incisive Pass+
• 90 OVR Pablo Barrios (CM): Long Ball Pass+, Intercept+, Technical+
• 90 OVR Luis Milla (CM): Tiki Taka+, Press Proven+, Jockey+

Lamel becomes the fourth card to receive four PlayStyle+, and Messi, Modrić, and Vitinha had already been given that treatment.

The most shocking omission is Vinícius Júnior. Despite contributing 20 goals and assists this season, the leak suggests he did not make the cut. Looking at the roster, Barcelona have around seven players selected while Real Madrid have only about four – Raphinha appears to have taken Vinícius' spot.

Even though Raphinha has indeed had a great season, Vinícius' absence remains hugely controversial. As compensation, the official team will almost certainly release a high-rated Vinícius player card via an SBC or objectives, which might allow more players to obtain him.

Liga F TOTS

• 97 OVR Claudia Pina (LW): Finesse Shot+, Low Driven Shot+, Incisive Pass+, Technical+
• 96 OVR Alexia Putellas (CM): Low Driven Shot+, Tiki Taka+, First Touch+
• 96 OVR Fiamma Benítez (CAM): Finesse Shot+, Pinged Pass+, Incisive Pass+
• 95 OVR Caroline Weir (CAM): Finesse Shot+, Tiki Taka+, Technical+
• 95 OVR Athenea (RW): Low Driven Shot+, Rapid+, Quick Step+
• 94 OVR Ewa Pajor (ST): Finesse Shot+, Power Shot+, Low Driven Shot+
• 94 OVR Ona Batlle (RB): Anticipate+, Whipped Pass+, Quick Step+
• 94 OVR Esmee Brugts (LB): Intercept+, Jockey+, Rapid+
• 93 OVR Paula Fernández (CM): Incisive Pass+, Long Ball Pass+, Bruiser+
• 93 OVR Maria Méndez (CB): Anticipate+, Intercept+, Long Ball Pass+
• 92 OVR Noelia Ramos (GK): Deflector+, Rush Out+, Long Ball Pass+
• 92 OVR Esperanza Pizarro (CM): Low Driven Shot+, Incisive Pass+, Pinged Pass+
• 91 OVR Daniela Agote (LW): Finesse Shot+, Inventive+, Quick Step+
• 90 OVR Isina Corte (CAM): Power Shot+, Technical+, First Touch+

On the women's side, top stars like Putellas, Pina, and Pajor are all present. Worth noting: for those who already have TOTY versions, their TOTS cards will usually be even stronger – this could actually cause TOTY versions to hold or increase their worth.

But puzzlingly, Hansen is also left out. Hansen has recorded 7 goals and 10 assists this season, ranking among the league's top five. Her absence makes little sense, unless she too has been relegated to an SBC release.

Liga Portugal TOTS

• 96 OVR Luis Javier Suárez (ST): Quick Step+, Low Driven Shot+, Finesse Shot+
• 95 OVR Rodrigo Zalazar (CAM): Finesse Shot+, Incisive Pass+, Technical+
• 95 OVR Vangelis Pavlidis (ST): Finesse Shot+, Game Changer+, Incisive Pass+
• 94 OVR Trincão (CAM): Incisive Pass+, Finesse Shot+, Technical+
• 94 OVR Jan Bednarek (CB): Anticipate+, Bruiser+, Block+
• 94 OVR Jakub Kiwior (CB): Intercept+, Jockey+, Bruiser+
• 93 OVR Victor Froholdt (CM): Incisive Pass+, Technical+, Press Proven+
• 93 OVR Maximiliano Araújo (LB): Slide Tackle+, Technical+, Quick Step+
• 92 OVR Lazar Carević (GK): Deflector+, Rush Out+, Footwork+
• 92 OVR Yanis Begraoui (ST): Finesse Shot+, Rapid+, Technical+
• 92 OVR Fredrik Aursnes (RM): Anticipate+, Tiki Taka+, Press Proven+
• 91 OVR Alberto Costa (RB): Incisive Pass+, Jockey+, Quick Step+
• 91 OVR Gustaf Lagerbielke (CB): Bruiser+, Slide Tackle+, Block+
• 90 OVR Camara (LW): Low Driven Shot+, Quick Step+, Trickster+

Portuguese league squad holds little appeal for most players. These cards won't enter the red picks reward pool, nor will they have a meaningful impact on the market. Denis Suárez might have been excellent with four PlayStyle+, but overall, this lineup does not warrant much attention.

How to Approach the Market?

Player Cards

The leaked information has already had a tangible impact on the market, though no massive crash has occurred. After Vinícius was confirmed to be left out, his relevant cards fell from 35,000 coins to 27,000 coins; panic selling even pushed them down to 22,000 FC 26 coins at one point. Whenever panic selling happens, card values always rebound slightly – you should sell into that rebound rather than join the panic.

Mbappé's selection was almost a certainty, so the leak confirmation did not trigger a big rise – in fact, his value dipped slightly. Everyone had already anticipated it. If you've been looking to get his card, now is a decent time.

Which positions to be cautious about?

Two positions to avoid investing in:

• Left Wing
• Right Wing

The reason: if Vinícius and Hansen are released as SBCs, that will heavily hurt the market value of those two positions.

That wraps up all the leaked TOTS squads for La Liga, Liga F, and Liga Portugal. Aside from a few surprising omissions, the lineups are solid overall. The recommendation now is to start stocking packs for them.

FC 26 launched Season 7 on April 23rd. As of this Thursday, the season officially enters its third week; consequently, Weekly Play 3 objective set for this season has now gone live.

Weekly Play is essentially a core set of missions within Ultimate Team mode. It is often viewed as a specific type of in-game objective designed to encourage you to earn Season Points, effectively in-game XP, by participating in various game modes.

TOTS Week 4 squad is set to be officially released later today. Over the coming week, you will be working to acquire these featured players; completing objectives during this period will not only earn you XP but also help you unlock additional card packs.

Below, we will provide you with all the details regarding Season 7 Weekly Play 3, including its duration and how to participate, to ensure you can maximize the rewards you earn.

Season 7 Weekly Play 3 duration

This objective campaign went live via an update on May 7th at 6:00 PM and is expected to run for 28 days. A new Weekly Play set may be released following its conclusion.

The campaign consists of five specific objectives. However, unlike Weekly Objectives released at the very start of Season 7, you only need to complete three of these tasks to unlock the ultimate reward: 300 Season Points (SP)!

Of course, if your skill level and available time permit, you can choose to complete all five objectives; doing so will bring your total Season Point earnings for this set up to 1,050.

Weekly Play 3 content

You will receive a reward of 150 SP for every individual Weekly Play 3 objective you complete. The specific requirements for each task are as follows:

• Play 5 Squad Battles matches on Min. Semi-Pro difficulty.
• Play 5 matches in Rivals.
• Play 5 matches in Champions.
• Play 5 Rush matches.
• Play 5 matches in any Live Event.

All of these modes and game types are integral parts of FC 26 Ultimate Team experience. Crucially, Weekly Play 3 does not require you to win matches or perform specific in-game actions, making these objectives relatively easy to complete.

Squad Battles

As a core offline mode for earning rewards within Ultimate Team, Squad Battles has received several adjustments in FC 26. The most notable change is that the weekly match limit, the number of games that count toward your weekly score, has been increased from 14 to 18.

SP earned from completing these matches counts toward your weekly ranking. Once you reach the weekly cap, you can continue to earn FC 26 coins, but your point total will no longer increase.

Notably, thanks to an update to the point system in January, it is now easier to achieve high scores in Squad Battles; for instance, scoring just three goals is sufficient to earn the maximum points for goals scored.

Although Weekly Play 3 has no specific additional requirements, if you aim to maximize your rewards in Squad Battles by winning matches, common tips include utilizing players with high OVR and employing wider tactical formations.

Rivals

Rivals is a seasonal competitive mode featuring multiple tiers, ranging from the lowest Division 10 to the highest Elite Division.

To advance through the ranks, you must win as many matches as possible to earn Rivals points (you need at least 15 points to qualify for the weekly leaderboard). Rewards are distributed every Thursday based on your current Division.

Occasionally, random bounty objectives will appear during matches; completing these yields various rewards, which can provide additional bonuses such as more coins, packs, or even accelerated Division progress.

If your skill level is high enough to allow you to win three or more consecutive matches, you can also earn Double Promotion and Double Rivals Points.

Champions

This is a competitive mode utilizing a Weekend League format, consisting of 15 matches played between Friday and Monday. It is divided into two stages: Playoffs and Weekend League Finals.

You must first participate in Division Rivals and accumulate 1,000 points to qualify for Champions Playoffs, with the ultimate goal of reaching the Finals. The higher your ranking in the Finals, the better the rewards you will receive.

It is important to note that this mode does not allow for draws; if a match ends in a tie, you must proceed to extra time or a penalty shootout until a winner is decided.

Although Champions appears to be the most intensely competitive mode, it features a very player-friendly mechanic: the qualification tokens you earn to enter the Finals do not expire.

Typically, at the end of a season, your accumulated SP are reset, requiring you to start from scratch; however, Champions Finals qualification tokens are exempt from this reset and carry over into the next season.

Rush

This is a fast-paced, 5v5 small-sided match mode that has become a core component of Ultimate Team. Each match lasts 7 minutes and features no half-time break.

Each team consists of just four outfield players controlled by you, and one AI-controlled goalkeeper; however, you can issue specific commands to direct AI keeper. Additionally, the pitch dimensions differ from those of a standard field, being significantly more compact.

Live Event

Unlike the four gameplay modes mentioned previously, Live Event actually spans across the three major modes within EA FC 26. It encompasses a vast array of matches and gameplay types, offering you significantly fewer restrictions by comparison.

Extra tips

We highly recommend completing all five objectives whenever possible to unlock every Season 7 Weekly Play 3 SP reward. Doing so will allow you to accelerate your Season Pass progression, unlock the associated card packs, and acquire even more TOTS players before May 22nd!

That wraps up everything we have to share with you today. FC 26 updates its in-game content very frequently, so be sure to complete new events promptly and keep a close eye on the schedule! Good luck!
