Names like Cristiano Ronaldo and Anderson Talisca are reportedly set to headline the upcoming TOTW, alongside other top-tier talents such as Adrien Rabiot, Manuel Locatelli, and Lucy Bronze. With these massive inclusions, TOTW 30 might be the most impactful Team of the Week release in months, signaling a potential shift in how EA treats these weekly squads.

TOTW releases have long been a staple of FIFA Ultimate Team (now FC Ultimate Team), offering upgraded versions of real-life players based on their standout performances. However, with the emergence of high-powered promos such as Immortals, Future Stars, and Trailblazers, many players have grown indifferent to TOTW cards. The good news? TOTW 30 might just change that.

A New Direction for Team of the Week?

It's no secret that TOTW items have faded into the background in recent iterations of Ultimate Team. Promos dominate the meta with cards that outclass weekly upgrades in nearly every category: stats, traits, and most importantly, PlayStyle+ traits — the new meta-defining mechanic in FC 25.

EA is taking steps to reinvigorate Team of the Week. Players are expected to receive larger stat boosts, dual PlayStyle+ traits, and feature designations that elevate them to near-promo quality. This shift could restore value and excitement to weekly releases, and TOTW 30 is shaping up to be the perfect testing ground.

TOTW 30 Players

Here's a look at the EA FC 25 TOTW 30 roster and their expected overall ratings:

• Cristiano Ronaldo – 89

• Anderson Talisca – 89

• Morgan Rogers – 89

• Vangelis Pavlidis – 89

• Manuel Locatelli – 89

• Giorgi Mamardashvili – 89

• Adrien Rabiot – 89

• Selma Bacha – 89

• Lucy Bronze – 89

• Desiree Doue – 89

• Josef Martinez – 88

• Ismael Doucoure – 88

• Joel Pohjanpalo – 88

• Abraham Odoh – 88

• Ramon Terrats – 88

• Filippa Angeldahl – 88

• Alex Iwobi – 88

• Adrian Martinez – 88

• Pablo Barrios – 88

• Wessel Dammers – 88

• Ermedin Demirovic – 88

• Romano Schmid – 88

• Zakaria El Ouahdi – 88

This list is stacked from top to bottom. Each of these players has a strong performance background, real-world fan support, or a history of meta-friendly cards. The consistent 89 overall rating across the board is also a notable shift — no filler cards here.

Are TOTW Cards Back?

For months, the community has questioned whether TOTW still serves a purpose in Ultimate Team. With promo squads arriving every week filled with jaw-dropping stats and dual PlayStyle+ traits, TOTW cards seemed left behind — a relic of a bygone era.

Final Thoughts: TOTW 30 Might Be a Turning Point

EA FC 25 TOTW 30 could be the most influential Team of the Week in the game so far. With Cristiano Ronaldo and Anderson Talisca leading the charge, and several high-profile 89-rated cards backing them up, this squad could restore some much-needed relevance to the TOTW format.

The addition of dual PlayStyle+ traits, larger upgrades, and no filler cards make TOTW 30 a real contender against even promo squads. It remains to be seen whether this is a one-time boost or the beginning of a new era for Team of the Week content. But for now, TOTW 30 is a must-watch — and possibly, a must-own with FC 25 Coins.

Whether you're a collector, a squad builder, or a weekend warrior in FUT Champs, TOTW 30 offers something for everyone.
