Below is a complete breakdown of TOTW 17, including the full list of cards, positional highlights, and how these items are likely to impact the FC 26 Ultimate Team meta.
What Is Team of the Week in FC 26
Team of the Week is a weekly Ultimate Team promotion that upgrades players who delivered exceptional performances in real-world matches. These players receive:
Boosted overall ratings
Improved in-game stats aligned with their performance
Black-and-gold special card designs
Temporary availability in packs (usually one week)
Once a TOTW rotates out of packs, the cards become available only via the transfer market or select SBC rewards, often increasing their long-term value.
FC 26 TOTW 17 Headliners
TOTW 17 is headlined by several high-rated attacking and midfield cards that stand out immediately for competitive play.
90-Rated Striker Card (Top-Tier Finisher)
The highest-rated card in TOTW 17 is a 90 OVR striker, boasting elite shooting, strong physicality, and solid pace. This card profiles as a classic box striker—deadly inside the penalty area, reliable on first-time shots, and effective in physical duels. For players running two-striker formations, this item is immediately Weekend League-viable.
89-Rated Central Midfielder Card (Box-to-Box Anchor)
The 89 OVR central midfielder is one of the most complete cards in the squad. With balanced pace, passing, dribbling, and defensive stats, this item fits perfectly as a box-to-box CM or a more advanced CDM in possession-heavy systems. Expect strong demand due to positional versatility and chemistry flexibility.
87-Rated Right Wing Card (Explosive Attacker)
This 87 OVR right winger brings speed and flair to the flanks. High pace and dribbling make this card ideal for counterattacking setups and wide formations. While physical stats are more modest, skillful players will get excellent value from this item.
Mid-Tier TOTW 17 Standouts (85-86 OVR)
TOTW 17 is particularly strong in the 85-86 rating range, offering several cards that punch above their overall rating.
86-Rated Goalkeeper Card
The 86 OVR goalkeeper is one of the most attractive picks for players looking to upgrade between the posts without paying premium icon prices. Strong reflexes and positioning make this card dependable in one-on-one situations, especially in competitive modes.
86-Rated Central Midfield and CAM Cards
Multiple 86 OVR midfielders and attacking midfielders appear in TOTW 17, providing creative passing options and solid long-shot potential. These cards are excellent for hybrid squads and often become popular choices for SBC solutions once they leave packs.
86-Rated Striker Card
Another striker option sits at 86 OVR, offering good pace, finishing, and positioning. While not as dominant as the top-rated attacker, this card is a strong choice for players on a moderate budget.
Defensive Options in TOTW 17
While attackers usually steal the spotlight, TOTW 17 includes several underrated defensive cards.
86-Rated Center Back Card
This center back offers a solid blend of pace, physicality, and defensive awareness. While not elite-tier, the card is reliable for Division Rivals and early Weekend League matches, particularly when paired with a faster partner.
84-Rated Fullbacks and Center Backs
The 84 OVR defensive cards are ideal budget upgrades. With respectable pace and defensive stats, they can comfortably fill squad gaps or act as chemistry links in league-specific teams.
Budget Beasts and SBC Value (84 OVR)
TOTW 17 includes a wide selection of 84-rated cards, which are extremely valuable for two reasons:
Playable Budget Options - Several of these cards feature high pace or shooting stats, making them usable in Rivals or Squad Battles.
SBC Fodder - 84-rated TOTW cards are often required for special SBCs, especially Player Picks and Hero/Icon challenges.
Expect these items to hold stable market value even after leaving packs.
