FC 26 Players

Excluding TOTY that concluded earlier this year, Team of the Season, launched in mid-April, is arguably the most monumental promotional event of the first half of FC 26!

This event spans six weeks and is currently entering its third week. This coming Friday, the third batch of squads, featuring players from Bundesliga, GPFBL, Roshn Saudi League, and Rest of the World (RoW), will be officially unveiled.

Below, we offer our predictions for the potential final squads and provide guidance to help you prepare to acquire these new player cards.

TOTS Week 3 overview

Team of the Season event runs from April 17th to May 22nd. Every other week (on Fridays), the squads for the featured leagues are announced, based on the results of prior player voting combined with a select number of pre-reserved spots.

Accordingly, the official reveal date for Week 3 is this coming Friday, May 1st. Following the announcement, FUT 26 will release a host of new SBCs and other activities to help you earn FC 26 coins and unlock these new player cards.

Bundesliga Squad

Bundesliga represents the pinnacle of German football and stands as one of the most popular leagues globally; as such, it is a primary focus of our coverage here.

Based on performance during 2025/26 season, there are 40 candidates vying for a spot in FC 26 TOTS from this league; however, only 11 players will ultimately be selected to form the standard squad. Below are our preliminary predictions, broken down by specific positions.

Goalkeeper

There is only one available spot for this position, and our top pick is Swiss international Gregor Kobel. Currently playing for Borussia Dortmund, Kobel recorded the highest number of clean sheets during the past season, establishing an impenetrable defensive foundation for his team.

Defenders

Three defensive spots are up for grabs, and the majority of these slots are likely to be claimed once again by the powerhouse club, Bayern Munich, as suggested by our predictions for the top two candidates below.

Although Jonathan Tah only joined Bayern last summer, he quickly integrated into the squad and delivered impressive defensive performances.

Dayot Upamecano's key strengths lie in his blistering pace, tenacious tackling, and exceptional ball-playing ability, allowing him to make significant contributions to the team at both ends of the pitch.

We have reserved the final spot among TOTS defenders for Luka Vušković from Hamburg. Although he is currently only a loanee, he has emerged as a young breakout star in Bundesliga during 2025/26 season.

Midfielders

The team expected to dominate this position once again is Bayern Munich, with potential midfield candidates including Joshua Kimmich and Aleksandar Pavlović.

Kimmich's greatest asset is his unwavering consistency; he is able to dictate the team's offensive and defensive tempo while linking up seamlessly with teammates, such as Pavlović. Together, the pair forms an indispensable partnership for Bayern at this moment.

Another potential candidate for a spot in FIFA 26 TOTS midfield is Angelo Stiller, who plays for VfB Stuttgart. Thanks to his impeccable timing in joining the attack, he was able to significantly boost the entire team's passing accuracy.

Attackers

We must preface this by stating that our TOTS squad predictions are not made from the perspective of a fan of any specific team; however, at least within the context of Bundesliga, Bayern's performance has undeniably been eye-catching.

Consequently, three potential candidates for the attacking lineup, Luis Díaz, Harry Kane, and Michael Olise, all hail from Bayern Munich. Through their individual strengths, they have forged a formidable attacking frontline for the team.

GPFBL Squad

GPFBL stands for Google Pixel Frauen-Bundesliga, which can be simply understood as the women's equivalent of Bundesliga. We have listed the potential selections based on the candidates' OVR:

• Klara Bühl - FC Bayern München - LM
• Lea Schüller - FC Bayern München - ST
• Pernille Harder - FC Bayern München - CAM
• Georgia Stanway - FC Bayern München - CDM
• Alexandra Popp - VfL Wolfsburg - ST
• Svenja Huth - VfL Wolfsburg - CM
• Janina Minge - VfL Wolfsburg - CM
• Laura Freigang - Frankfurt - CAM
• Géraldine Reuteler - Frankfurt - ST

Roshn Saudi League Squad

This league is the premier football competition in Saudi Arabia; the top three finishers in the league, along with the winner of King's Cup, qualify for AFC Champions League. Here is the predicted lineup:

• João Félix - Al Nassr - CAM
• Cristiano Ronaldo - Al Nassr - ST
• Al Owairan - HERO - RW
• Núñez - Al Hilal - ST
• Diaby - Al Ittihad - RM
• Al Dawsari - Al Hilal - LM
• Kanté - Al Ittihad - CDM
• Simakan - Al Nassr - CB
• Koulibaly - Al Hilal - CB
• Millot - Al Ahli - CAM

RoW Squad

RoW stands for Rest of World. Unlike the other squads, this does not represent a single official, real-world league; instead, it refers to teams not included in the main licensed leagues within EA FC 26, encompassing a diverse range of international clubs.

The following are predictions for RoW players likely to be selected for this year's TOTS:

• Fernando Muslera - Estudiantes - GK
• Mateo Castillo - América de Cali - RB
• Santiago Sosa - Racing Club - CB
• Yazan Al Arab - FC Seoul - CB
• Blás Riveros - Cerro Porteño - LB
• Kang Sang Yoon - Jeonbuk Hyundai Motors - CM
• Patrik Mercado - Independiente del Valle - CM
• Gabriel Villamíl - LDU Quito - CM
• Lee Dong Kyeong - Ulsan HD - CAM
• Juan Mata - Melbourne Victory FC - CAM
• Marcelino Moreno - Club Atlético Lanús - CAM
• Jesse Randall - Auckland FC - LM
• Kim Seung Sub - Jeonbuk Motors - LW
• Nicolas López - Nicolas López - ST

How to obtain these players?

Following the official announcement of TOTS squads for the four leagues mentioned above on May 1st, FC 26 will continue to release additional SBCs and Objectives until the next batch of content goes live (on May 8th).

Upon completing these challenges, you will be rewarded with coins or packs. Opening these packs yields random player cards, while coins can be used to trade more packs in the store or utilized directly to trade for specific cards on the transfer market.

It is worth noting that a select few specific cards will be available exclusively as direct rewards for completing SBCs, these are the ones you absolutely do not want to miss!

Since there are three more batches of TOTS squads scheduled to be released subsequently, we highly recommend that you acquire any cards you desire from Week 3 within this one-week window; otherwise, you run a significant risk of missing out on them due to a lack of time!

We hope the lineup predictions we've provided here prove helpful for your future FC 26 experience! We sincerely wish you the best of luck in securing all the players you've set your sights on!

Premier League The EA FC 26 TOTS Week 2 squad is set to arrive on Friday, with this week's selections drawn mainly from Premier League, Barclays WSL and EFL Combined. Premier League is unquestionably the centrepiece, as it's packed with players that many fans adore.

It's precisely that huge enthusiasm for Premier League that causes its cards to carry a noticeable premium. So, let's take a look at the leaked players for Week 2.

TOTS Week 2 Player Leaks

Leaks for TOTS Week 2 surfaced very early. Unsurprisingly, Premier League's Bruno Fernandes tops the billing, boasting four extremely strong Playstyles+. Once he's officially in packs, he's expected to comfortably clear the 2 million FC 26 coins mark within three days.

Another card that comes with four Playstyles+ is 97 OVR Khadija Shaw from the Barclays WSL. While her card will still command a high volume of FC 26 coins, it's projected to deliver far better value for your coins than Bruno Fernandes. Let's dive into the full list of leaked players.

This Premier League TOTS selection feels a bit odd. For instance, a player like Hugo Ekitiké has not put in the performances to justify such a rating. On top of that, a large number of Arsenal and Chelsea players (clubs that didn't have particularly convincing seasons) have made the cut, meaning far fewer Manchester City players were included. The official picks have clearly left players scratching their heads.

How to Earn Coins?

For players working with a limited coin stack, the simplest profit point comes from fodder rotation. Right now, Weekend League rewards are flooding the market, which has driven the going rate for 85- to 86-rated common gold cards down sharply - 86 OVR cards have even dropped to 700 coins apiece. You can snap these up now and offload them after SBC refresh on Wednesday evening, targeting a profit of over 500 coins per card, essentially a near-100% return on the coins you had tied up.

Premier League content will definitely whip the market into even more of a frenzy, and the new season pass is performing well too. Now is the moment to think carefully about how you want to put your coins to use.
