Leading Predicted Starters for TOTW 20
This week’s matches have already been considered for the TOTW 20 this week and some performances have been very outstanding. Let us talk about some players who are very likely to be included in TOTW 20 and exactly why.
Mike Maignan (GK) (AC Milan)
Maignan is probably the most obvious choice for this week’s goalkeeper. He saved 6 goals and helped his team draw against Roma (1-1). For this he also became the Man of the Match. Because of this he will probably be there in this week’s squad.
Federico Dimarco (LB) (Inter)
Dimarco was excellent this week. He scored 1 goal and 2 assists. This helped his team win against Pisa with a massive 6-2 score. Clearly even after being a defender he showed excellent offensive skills. Because of this he is very likely to be included in this week’s squad.
Youri Baas (CB) (Ajax)
Baas has shown excellent performance in the Dutch Eredivisie. He has scored 2 goals and kept a clean sheet. He helped his team win against Volendan (2-0) all by himself. Because of this if he gets included then he will get a huge stat boost to his card.
Harry Maguire (CB) (Manchester United)
Maguire performed very well in one of the most important matches in the Premier League. He did not score any goals or assists in the match between Manchester United and Arsenal (3-2). But overall, he defended nicely and also became the Man of the Match. He is very likely to be added to this week’s squad because there is not much option from the Premier League.
Beth Mead (RM) (Arsenal)
Beth Mead has been very consistent in the Women’s Super League this week. She scored 1 goal and 1 assist and helped her team win against Chelsea (2-1). She also contributed very well in the midfield.
Jude Bellingham (CAM) (Real Madrid)
Bellingham has played well consistently this week. He can influence the attack very well and can also create many scoring chances. He might be one of the highest rated cards in this week’s squad.

There are other players as well that can be included in the squad. Let us see what the starting XI most probably will be.

Additional Contenders for TOTW 20
There are also a few players who have an outside chance of making TOTW 20 depending on EA’s final choices:
- ST: Gabriel Jesus (Arsenal) – 80 (real rating) → 85 (TOTW rating)

As you can see there are some big names like Mbappe and Jesus. But they might be contenders because of reasons like position limits or less competition in their category. The final decision will depend only on how EA will actually calculate the chances of including squad members.

Conclusion
TOTW 20 in EA FC 26 looks very interesting. Many players played really well this week. Some scored goals and some helped their teams win. These cards will be very useful in Ultimate Team.
