The wait is over—Team of the Week 1 has landed in EA Sports FC 26, bringing a star-studded lineup to kick off the new Ultimate Team season. With the game’s full release drawing closer, this first squad sets the tone for what looks to be an exciting year. As we correctly predicted in our TOTW 1 preview, the team is loaded with world-class talent, and if you’re lucky enough to pack one of these cards, they could slot straight into your starting XI from day one.

Big Names Lead the Way

At the top of the list are two of football’s most lethal finishers: Harry Kane and Erling Haaland. Both strikers are coming off stellar performances, making their inclusions a given. Haaland’s pace and clinical finishing, paired with Kane’s ability to score and create, make them instant game-changers this early in the cycle.

They’re joined by midfield legend Luka Modric, now pulling the strings at A.C. Milan. With his passing and vision, Modric’s card looks like one of the most reliable midfield options available at launch.

The lineup also shines a spotlight on rising stars like Semenyo and Bergvall, who earned their place with impressive Premier League displays. Meanwhile, veteran Thomas Müller proves he can still make an impact, now showcasing his football IQ in North America.

Day-One Starters

Most cards in this initial TOTW are strong enough to feature immediately in competitive squads. Their boosted stats and valuable playstyles make them hot commodities on the transfer market. With the Web App live, players can already trade and secure these cards, even if gameplay access through early release hasn’t been unlocked yet.

This blend of superstar power and breakout talent makes TOTW 1 one of the strongest opening lineups in recent memory—an encouraging sign for what’s ahead in FC 26.
