What is TOTW
Team of the Week, which is known by the name TOTW is a weekly content drop that releases upgraded player cards. Previously, these players were chosen randomly by EA but with the updated settings, these players are selected on the basis of their real life performance in major leagues. The players who perform better in the following previous week of the TOTW drop are prioritised over others.
Release Date
Being a weekly event drop, TOTW follows a periodic day of the week of release. Following this schedule, the TOTW 33 will be released on Wednesday, 29th April, 2026.

TOTW 33 Starting XI
For the starting XI lineup, this week’s TOTW will feature some new faces that might just change the current meta.
Leno
There were not many Goalkeepers to catch the eye but Bernd Leno was an exception. Leno’s defensive goal saves has secured his team two consecutive matches with one being a clean sheet win and the other one being a draw.
Andy Robetson
For the LB, we have Andy Robertson who scored a goal in the Liverpool vs Crystal Palace game and ended up with a 7 rating. His contribution led his team to a 3-1 score victory.
Lucas Beraldo
From the PSG vs Angers match, we have Lucas with his single goal contribution that led the game to a clean sheet victory for PSG with a score of 3-0
Ramy Bensebaini
Ramy scored one goal and gave one assist that granted him the MOTM with a 9 rating. He led his team to a clean sheet victory, making him a strong contender for the TOTW lineup.
Yann Bisseck
Yann Bisseck scored one out of the two goals in the Torino vs Inter match, which ended in a draw due to Yann’s goal.
Joao Palhinha
Next up, we have Joao Palhinha for his deciding goal of the Wolves vs Tottenham match that ended the game in Tottenham’s favor with a 1-0 clean sheet victory.
Fermin Lopez
The impressive CAM Fermin got a 7.28 rating for his sole goal in the Arsenal vs Newcastle match. For the clean sheet victory and the sole goal, he has a good chance to be featured in the lineup.
Eberechi Eze
Eberechi Eze scored the only goal of the Arsenal vs Newcastle match and got a 7.38 rating. He led his team to a 1-0 victory.
Kaoru Mitoma
Kaoru Mitoma scored a goal in the Tottenham vs Brighton match which tied the match. Considering his performance, he has a good possibility to be added in this week’s TOTW.
Alexander Sorloth
Alexander Sorloth had one of the most charming performances with a double goal and a MOTM with 8.49 rating in the ATM vs AC match that Madrid won with a 3-2 score.
Michael Olise
