EA Sports FC 26 has released its Team of the Week (TOTW) 9 squad, featuring Lionel Messi's first in-form card of the season alongside a new 90-rated midfielder. The squad, available in Ultimate Team packs from Wednesday, November 12, includes PSG's Vitinha, who earned his place with two assists against OL Lyon.
Despite recent criticism over underwhelming TOTW line-ups, this week's selection has generated excitement. Messi was recognised for his two goals and one assist against Nashville, while Mirror Gaming's predictions proved accurate for several players. However, Barcelona striker Robert Lewandowski was omitted despite his hat-trick against Celta Vigo.
The full squad features a mix of star names and niche picks, with Arsenal's Declan Rice and AC Milan's Mike Maignan among the notable inclusions from previous weeks. The TOTW 9 squad is now live in packs, with the complete lineup released at 6pm UK time on Wednesday.
