EA has released FC 24’s Team of the Week 13, and it’s safe to say that it is time for yet another revamp in TOTW structure.
This week features 18 special Team of the Week player items, permanently upgraded based on their real-world performances in domestic and international games. These are available in packs for a limited period. Like the previous Team of the Week, TOTW 13 appears somewhat underwhelming in retrospect.
The highlight of TOTW 13 is Tottenham Hotspur’s Heung-Min Son, recognized for his goal in the victory over Newcastle United. Another notable mention is John McGinn from Aston Villa, who scored the winning goal against Arsenal, contributing to Villa’s impressive run. Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang also secured his place in this TOTW due to his performance in Marseille’s match against Lens. However, apart from Son, there are no other META players in TOTW 13. James Tavernier might be considered a META choice, but linking a Scottish League player is challenging without multiple Icons in the team.
This week’s selection includes seven players rated at 83, a minor improvement from last week. Intriguingly, the team has six players rated at 86, but it’s unlikely that many of them will be integrated into most Ultimate Team players’ squads. For instance, Alexander Lacazette’s pace is only 77, and John McGinn has a 3-star rating for Weak Foot and Skill Moves.
So without further delay, let’s have a look at TOTW 13!

FC 24 Team of the Week Changes
EA continues on enhancing the in-game presence of TOTW this year with three major updates:
- Enhanced Upgrades for Lower Rated Players: Lower-rated OVR players will receive significant upgrades, ensuring all TOTW players will be at least 80+ OVR from launch. After first TOTW refresh, all TOTW will be at least 83+ rated.
- Balanced Upgrades Across All Ranges: Players across all OVR ranges may receive proportionally larger upgrades in key stats like Pace or Dribbling to maintain balance with other content released simultaneously.
- Featured TOTW Items Upgrades: These particular items will be eligible for larger upgrades, including improvements in Weak Foot & Skill Moves. These upgrades will persist to the player’s subsequent TOTW versions. PlayStyles are planned to be introduced in the near future in order to infuse more personality into Featured TOTW Players.
Stay tuned for the release of TOTW 14 next week.
