Team of the Week (TOTW) in EA FC 27 Ultimate Team

By · Updated Nov 2, 2026

Team of the Week, or TOTW, is a weekly squad of real footballers whose Ultimate Team cards are upgraded to reflect strong recent performances. The cards are called In-Form items. They enter packs for about a week and then leave, though cards already in your club stay.

Written during Season 1 of EA SPORTS FC 27 Ultimate Team, in November 2026. Some details come from EA, others from FIFPlay, a community database; the factcheck labels which is which. Exact squad lineups are not listed here because they change every week.

How the weekly cycle works

FIFPlay describes a new TOTW every Wednesday, and each squad normally stays in packs until the next one arrives, roughly a week. Selection is based mainly on real-world performance: goals, assists, clean sheets, goalkeeping and defensive displays. The selected players receive In-Form items with improved ratings and attributes. Players picked more than once usually receive stronger In-Form versions, and some squads include a Featured TOTW player with a larger upgrade than a standard In-Form.

EA's own pages for FC 27 do not state the release weekday, so treat the Wednesday cadence as community-documented.

The Season 1 community vote

EA added a new twist in FC 27. During Season 1, the community helps select one player item in each of the first six TOTW squads. EA's launch update (14 September 2026) gives the rules:

  • Voting opened on 14 September.
  • Every player in the FC 27 Ratings Database is eligible.
  • A new voting period starts each Tuesday.
  • You vote for one player per week, can change your pick until voting closes on Monday at 11:59 pm PT, and must log in with your EA Account to confirm.

EA limits the vote to the first six squads of Season 1. It does not describe the vote as a permanent feature.

TOTW and Ones to Watch

TOTW also feeds the Ones to Watch (OTW) items from FC 27 Season 1. EA states that an OTW player gains +1 OVR for each TOTW, Star Performer or Player of the Month inclusion, and a one-time +1 OVR if his club wins three of its next six domestic league matches counted from 18 September 2026. OTW items rated 83 or higher keep their base attributes, lower-rated ones are boosted to 83, and every OTW item has at least 60 Pace. Being named in a TOTW therefore matters beyond the In-Form card itself.

How people use TOTW cards

  • Open packs while the squad is live, because the cards leave packs when the next squad drops.
  • Compare Transfer Market prices on the day a squad appears with the price a week later, and judge by the live market, since no EA source gives a pattern.
  • Use In-Form cards in squad building where their position and nation links fit; chemistry works as for other cards.
