The final TOTW before Team of the Year is here!
The entire Ultimate Team player base is eagerly awaiting the arrival of the 2023 Team of the Year. Therefore, the release of Team of the Week 18 might not be in the watchlist of most Ultimate Team fans. Nevertheless, EA has released the latest Team of the Week – a lineup consisting of 18 players based on their performance in domestic leagues and international fixtures.
Team of the Week 18 is headlined by PSG’s Shot Stopper, Gianluigi Donnarumma, who kept a clean sheet against a 10-man Lens. Federico Dimarco, who has been a huge threat in both attack and defense for Inter throughout the season, has also made the cut into TOTW 18 owing to his brilliant all round performance in their 5-1 victory over Monza.
PSV’s ace striker Luuk De Jong, who scored a hattrick against Excelsior to keep their flawless record in 2023-24 Eredivisie, has also got into the latest TOTW with an incredible +36 pace boost. Sadly, other than these cards, TOTW 18 does not offer any quality additions to most Ultimate Team squads.

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.
