With the new season, we are introduced to the first Team of the Week (TOTW) refresh in EA FC 24. EA has honored their commitment to scaling TOTW alongside the power creep, and the first refresh is a significant step forward. From this point forward, TOTW players will boast a minimum rating of 83—a substantial development for Ultimate Team gamers.
TOTW 8 features FC Barcelona’s stellar goalkeeper Marc-André ter Stegen, who secured a clean sheet in a hard-fought victory against Real Sociedad. Bayer Leverkusen’s Grimaldo earns his second TOTW selection following a superb brace against Hoffenheim.
Chelsea’s Nicolas Jackson claims a spot in TOTW 8 as well, after scoring a hat-trick that handed Tottenham their first defeat of the season. For those tracking META players within TOTW, Ousmane Dembélé (PSG), Jeremy Doku (Manchester City), and Dayot Upamecano (Bayern Munich) have received some incredible cards this week. An in-form player that shouldn’t be overlooked by Ultimate Team enthusiasts is Torino’s Adrien Tameze, who has received some impressive upgrades as a center-back.

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.
