Each week in EA Sports FC 25, top-performing players from football matches worldwide earn a coveted spot on the Team of the Week (TOTW). This feature, a tradition in the EA Sports FIFA series, continues in FC 25, rewarding standout performances with upgraded player cards. Let’s explore what TOTW 2 has in store for fans.
What is the Team of the Week in FC 25?
Before diving into the latest TOTW 2, it’s essential to understand the mechanics behind the Team of the Week in FC 25. Every week, 23 players are selected based on their real-world football performances from the previous seven days. If a player scores a hat-trick, makes critical saves, or is instrumental in their team’s success, they are prime candidates for inclusion in the TOTW.
Once selected, these players receive a special upgraded card in FC 25, making them more valuable and desirable for players in the Ultimate Team mode. One exciting aspect introduced in recent iterations of the game is the permanence of these upgrades. When a player makes it into the TOTW, their card will be stronger than before, even if they’ve been featured in previous weeks.
However, no player can appear in consecutive TOTW 2 lineups. For example, if Gerónimo Rulli made a series of incredible saves for Villarreal in TOTW 1, he will be ineligible for TOTW 2, despite performing brilliantly in another match.

Where to Find TOTW 2 Cards in FC 25
Now that you know the players featured in TOTW 2, the next step is figuring out how to get your hands on their cards. There are two main ways to acquire TOTW cards in FC 25:
- Packs: You can earn TOTW cards by opening Ultimate Team packs. However, the chances of finding a TOTW card in a pack are slim, especially for the higher-rated players like Vinicius Jr. (91). Each Wednesday at 7 PM (local time), a new Team of the Week is released, replacing the previous week’s TOTW players in packs.
- Transfer Market: If you’re unlucky with packs or if you’re targeting a specific player from the TOTW, the transfer market is your best bet. Keep in mind that prices for the most sought-after cards—especially early in the game—can skyrocket. Players like Vinicius Jr. and Son are likely to command high prices due to their high ratings and popularity in the footballing world.
Tips for Maximizing TOTW 2 Players
If you’re serious about building a formidable squad in FC 25’s Ultimate Team, TOTW players can offer a significant edge. Here are a few tips to consider:
- Timing is Key: The earlier you acquire a TOTW card, the better. Prices tend to rise quickly as more players discover the benefits of these enhanced cards. It’s often a good strategy to purchase TOTW players as soon as they’re released, especially if you have a clear vision for your squad.
- Resell for Profit: For those looking to make coins in FC 25, investing in TOTW players can be a lucrative option. High-rated and popular players, such as those from the Premier League or La Liga, often see their value increase over time. If you manage to snag a TOTW player early at a lower price, you can sell them later for a significant profit.
- Squad Building: TOTW players aren’t just for show. Their enhanced stats can make a real difference in matches, particularly in competitive modes. Whether it’s an agile winger like Vinicius or a solid defender like Bremer, having TOTW players in key positions can elevate your gameplay.
Conclusion
The Team of the Week in FC 25 is an exciting way for football fans and Ultimate Team players to celebrate the standout performances from real-world football matches. TOTW 2 features a stellar lineup of players, from Vinicius Jr. to Heung-min Son, offering incredible value for those lucky enough to pack them or willing to invest in them on the transfer market.
Whether you’re looking to strengthen your squad or turn a profit on the market, TOTW cards can be a game-changer in FC 25. Keep an eye on the latest releases every Wednesday and make sure you don’t miss out on these powerful upgrades!
