The new season of EA FC 25 Ultimate Team is officially underway, and the very first Team of the Week (TOTW) has just been announced. If you’ve been itching to see which players made the cut after some stellar real-world performances, we’ve got all the details right here.
The inaugural TOTW is setting the bar high by featuring some of the biggest names in football. Leading the pack is Lionel Messi from Inter Miami with an impressive 89 overall rating. After a fantastic game where he scored twice and provided an assist, it’s no surprise he’s headlining this week’s team.
Joining him are other top-tier talents like Theo Hernández of AC Milan, rated at 88, and Ousmane Dembélé from Paris Saint-Germain, coming in at 87. These players have shown exceptional skill on the pitch, and their upgraded cards are sure to be hot commodities in the transfer market.
But it’s not just about the seasoned pros. The first TOTW also highlights some rising stars who are making a name for themselves. Lamine Yamal, the young sensation from Barcelona, has earned an 84-rated card—a significant achievement so early in his career. Similarly, Victor Boniface of Bayer Leverkusen has secured an 84 rating, reflecting his growing influence on the field.
