EA SPORTS FC 27 Team of the Week 2 is now live in Ultimate Team, bringing 23 new In-Form Player Items led by 91-rated Michael Olise. Raphinha and Sophia Wilson follow at 89 OVR, while Mohamed Salah and Marquinhos headline the 88-rated tier.
The Overall ratings only tell part of the story, though. Some of the biggest names receive small improvements to already strong Base Items, while cards such as Pascal Groß, Vedat Muriqi and Marco Reus get upgrades that directly address major weaknesses.
Here is the full FC 27 TOTW 2 squad, including how every card compares with its regular Base Item.
FC 27 TOTW 2 Release Date

FC 27 TOTW 2 was released on Wednesday, September 23, 2026, featuring 23 players. It is available during the weekly TOTW window before TOTW 3 arrives on September 30. Michael Olise is the highest-rated card at 91 OVR, with Raphinha selected as the second Community Player of FC 27 Season 1.
FC 27 TOTW 2: Base vs TOTW Stat Changes
The Base Item figures below are based on EA's FC 27 Ratings Database, while the TOTW figures use the live Player Items added to Ultimate Team on September 23. Position refers to each card's primary position.
Lorenzo Palmisani is the only goalkeeper in TOTW 2, so his card uses goalkeeper attributes instead:
The huge jumps on some lower-rated cards are consistent with FC 27's Season 1 TOTW upgrade path: Base Items rated 83+ receive +1 OVR, cards from 78–82 receive +2, while players rated 77 or below are boosted to at least 80 OVR.
Best FC 27 TOTW 2 Cards to Watch
Raphinha Is the FC 27 TOTW 2 Community Player
Raphinha is the second TOTW Community Player of FC 27 Season 1. EA allows the community to help shape one selection in each of the first six TOTW squads, with community votes contributing to EA's final choice and the selected card receiving a Community Player marker in-game.
For TOTW 2, that spot goes to Raphinha and his new 89-rated ST card.
The central position change makes this Community Player particularly interesting because it offers something genuinely different from his 88-rated LW Base Item instead of simply adding slightly higher numbers.
What Does TOTW 2 Mean for Ones to Watch?
TOTW selections also matter if the player has an eligible Ones to Watch Item.
In FC 27, an OTW Item receives a +1 OVR upgrade whenever that player earns a qualifying Team of the Week, Star Performer or Player of the Month Item. EA also makes it clear that the OTW card does not simply copy the exact attributes of the new TOTW version; it receives its own +1 OVR upgrade.
That means it is worth checking any relevant OTW Items separately whenever their player appears in a new weekly squad.
How to Get FC 27 TOTW 2 Players
FC 27 TOTW 2 Player Items are available through eligible Ultimate Team Packs while the squad is active. Tradeable versions can also be bought and sold through the Transfer Market. TOTW 2 went live on September 23 and is due to make way for the next weekly squad on September 30.
Remember that opening a normal eligible Pack does not guarantee a TOTW card. Always check the Pack description if you are opening one specifically for special Player Items.

Are FC 27 TOTW 2 Cards Worth It?
TOTW 2 has two very different types of upgrade.
At the top end, Olise, Raphinha, Wilson, Salah and Marquinhos are stronger versions of Base Items that were already good. Their upgrades mostly add polish rather than completely changing how the cards play. Raphinha stands out most here because moving from LW to ST gives the card extra squad-building and tactical value.
Further down the squad, the raw OVR can actually be misleading. Groß's 37 → 70 Pace, Reus' 53 → 72 Pace and Muriqi's 62 → 75 Pace directly address major limitations of their Base Items. Tolisso and Miguel Gutiérrez also become much more rounded through upgrades spread across Pace, Dribbling, Defending and Physical.
So when judging TOTW 2, do not look at Overall alone. The best upgrade for your squad may be the card whose stat changes fix a real gameplay weakness, rather than simply the highest-rated name.
FC 27 TOTW 2 FAQ
Conclusion
FC 27 TOTW 2 has plenty of star power with Olise, Raphinha, Wilson, Salah and Marquinhos, but some of the most interesting upgrades are further down the squad. Raphinha's switch to ST adds real flexibility, while the huge Pace boosts for Groß, Muriqi and Reus make their In-Forms fundamentally more practical than their Base Items.
