The Team of the Season (TOTS) campaign in EA Sports FC 26 is about to expand, and this time the spotlight is shifting toward two fan-favorite minor leagues: the Eredivisie and Major League Soccer. While the biggest European leagues typically dominate headlines, these upcoming squads could deliver some of the most exciting and meta-relevant cards yet—especially for players looking to build unique Ultimate Team squads.

Eredivisie & MLS TOTS Arrive in FC 26 Ultimate Team

EA Sports is continuing its staggered TOTS rollout, and the Eredivisie and MLS squads are set to be the first “minor league” releases in this year’s promotion. Despite the hype, EA has remained notably quiet about official details, leaving the community to rely heavily on leaks and speculation.

What we do know is that both leagues will launch simultaneously alongside the Serie A TOTS squad, marking a major content drop that should shake up the Ultimate Team meta.

Leaked Eredivisie TOTS Players

The Eredivisie squad looks particularly well-balanced, offering a mix of elite attackers, technical midfielders, and versatile defenders. According to current leaks, these are the players expected to feature:

· Joey Veerman – 96

· Ayase Ueda – 96

· Mika Godts – 95

· Saibari – 94

· Schouten – 93

· Mauro Junior – 92

· Valente – 92

· Van Rooij – 91

· Ihattaren – 91

· Meulensteen – 90

· Watanabe – 89

· Koeman Jr – 89

· Sano – 89

At the top end, Veerman and Ueda headline the squad with 96-rated items, which could make them highly desirable depending on their PlayStyle+ combinations and in-game stats. Eredivisie cards are often overlooked, but they frequently deliver strong value due to hybrid links and affordability.

Leaked MLS TOTS Players

The MLS squad, on the other hand, is led by one of the biggest names in football:

· Lionel Messi – 96

· Diego Luna – 94

· Denis Bouanga – 94

· Surridge – 94

· Evander – 94

· Berhalter – 93

· Anders Dreyer – 93

· St. Clair – 93

· Ayala – 92

· Blackmon – 92

· Najar – 91

· Glesnes – 90

· Roldan – 89

· Arfsten – 89

Messi’s inclusion instantly elevates the MLS squad’s appeal. A 96-rated version—potentially featuring four PlayStyle+ traits—could rival some of the best cards in the entire TOTS cycle. Alongside him, Bouanga, Evander, and Luna offer strong attacking and midfield options that could easily slot into competitive squads.

Ratings, PlayStyles, and Meta Impact

It’s important to stress that these ratings are still leaks and not officially confirmed. However, if they hold, we’re likely looking at a very competitive batch of cards.

One key detail circulating in the community is that several of the highest-rated players may receive up to four PlayStyle+ traits. If accurate, that would significantly boost their usability, especially in high-level gameplay where traits like Rapid+, Finesse Shot+, or Intercept+ can define matches.

This also suggests that EA is continuing its trend of making “minor league” TOTS cards far more viable than in previous years, reducing the gap between top-tier and secondary leagues.

Release Date and Timing

The Eredivisie and MLS TOTS squads are scheduled to go live on Friday, April 17, aligning with the release of the Serie A TOTS. This drop will also coincide with the conclusion of the Trophy Titans promo, marking a clean transition into the next phase of Ultimate Team content.

Once the countdown expires, players can expect:

· New packs in the store, use FUT 26 Coins to buy

· Updated objectives and SBCs

· Potential player-specific challenges tied to TOTS cards

Final Thoughts

While they may not carry the same prestige as the Premier League or La Liga squads, the Eredivisie and MLS TOTS releases could end up being some of the most impactful drops in EA Sports FC 26 so far.

With high-rated attackers, versatile midfielders, and the presence of global superstars like Lionel Messi, these squads offer both competitive value and squad-building creativity. If EA follows through with boosted PlayStyle+ distributions, don’t be surprised if several of these cards become staples in Weekend League lineups.
