FC 26 TOTW 16 Revealed: Full List of Cards
EA has officially unveiled Team of the Week 16 (TOTW 16) for EA FC 26 Ultimate Team, and it's a fitting way to close out the final competitive stretch of 2025. With a strong mix of elite playmakers, in-form attackers, and dependable defensive options, TOTW 16 balances star power with usability, offering something for Weekend League grinders, SBC investors, and casual Ultimate Team builders alike.
TOTW 16 doesn't just reward headline performances-it reflects the broader design philosophy of FC 26: meaningful upgrades, playable stats across multiple positions, and cards that slot cleanly into a variety of squad archetypes. Let's break down what makes this Team of the Week special and take a look at the full list of cards included.
Headliners of TOTW 16
At the top of the selection, Florian Wirtz (90 LM) headlines the squad as the highest-rated card. Wirtz continues to shine as one of the most technically gifted attacking midfielders in world football, and his 90-rated in-form reflects that. With elite dribbling, vision, and composure, this card is perfectly suited for wide CAM or left-sided playmaker roles in formations like 4-2-3-1 or 4-3-3 (4).
Close behind is Martin Ødegaard (88 CM), whose TOTW item reinforces his status as a midfield metronome. Ødegaard's passing, ball control, and work rate make him an ideal central creator, especially for players who prefer possession-heavy or tiki-taka styles.
On the wing, Malcom (87 RW) offers pace, flair, and cutting ability. His upgraded dribbling and shooting stats make him a strong option for Ligue-based or hybrid squads, particularly for players who rely on quick transitions and inverted wingers.
Between the posts, Martin Dúbravka (86 GK) earns a spot after a standout run of performances. While goalkeepers in Ultimate Team are often divisive, an 86-rated in-form keeper with solid reflexes and handling is always useful-especially for first-owner teams and SBC objectives.
Strong Mid-Tier Performers
TOTW 16 also shines in its mid-tier depth, with multiple 85-86 rated cards that are extremely playable.
Ollie Watkins (86 ST) is one of the most practical inclusions. His combination of pace, positioning, and finishing makes him a dangerous striker for Premier League squads, especially for players who value off-the-ball movement and pressing forwards.
At the back, Manuel Akanji (86 CB) continues to be a reliable defensive option. His pace-to-physicality ratio makes him effective against fast attackers, and his versatility allows him to slot into both back-four and back-three systems.
Nico Paz (86 CAM) is one of the more exciting creative inclusions. With strong ball control and attacking intelligence, his TOTW card is well-suited to central attacking roles, especially in formations that emphasize quick passing between the lines.
Rayan Cherki (85 RM) brings creativity and unpredictability. While not the most physical winger, his dribbling and technical ability make him ideal for players who enjoy skill-based attacking play.
Defensively, Pierre Kalulu (85 CB) adds pace and composure, making him particularly effective in high defensive lines. He's a popular choice for players who rely on aggressive pressing and quick recovery runs.
Value Picks and Squad Builders
TOTW 16 also includes a solid selection of 84-rated cards, which are especially valuable for SBCs, objectives, and budget-friendly squads.

Patrick Dorgu (84 RM) - Offers pace and width, ideal for transitional play.
Kevin Schade (84 LM) - A direct winger with strong speed, perfect for counter-attacking setups.
