A top end card makes it into the mix!
EA has answered to all the complaints regarding the sad state of Team of the Week cards in EA FC 24. From now on, all the cards featured in the Team of the Week, a weekly team that is selected on the basis of real life performances, will have a minimum rating of 85. In addition to this, EA has now started selecting three TOTW items for getting a Featured Card boost. These minor changes may help TOTW items to keep up with the power curve to a small extent.
TOTW 20 is headlined by Barcelona’s Caroline Hansen who scored a brace in the Culer’s 6-0 triumph over Real Betis Women. Hansen’s latest card, however, will not be in packs until Friday as the Norwegian is a part of the Women’s Team of the Year. Alexander Sorloth, who scored an important injury time goal for Villareal in their 5-3 win against Barcelona has also earned himself a TOTW card. However, Andy Diouf, who scored for Lens in their 2-0 victory over Toulouse may be one of the cards to watch out for as the 20 year old midfielder got a “Gullit Gang” card with 87 pace.
Let’s have a look at the complete 18-player squad of TOTW 20.

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 the second TOTW refresh, all TOTW will be at least 85+ 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.
If you are still optimistic about Team of the Week, stay tuned for the release of TOTW 21 next week.
EA Sports FC 24 is available on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and Switch.
