Team of the Week 5 Card Predictions - EA Sports FC 25 Guide - IGN (2024)

Ultimate Team is starting up its fifth week in EA FC 25, which means it's nearly time for the developers to announce the next Team of the Week promo. This past week of games was mostly played between national teams, giving FC 25 several intriguing names to consider before announcing TOTW 5 on October 16th. You'll find our predictions for the full team below.

Starters

ST Deniz Undav (Stuttgart) - The striker scored both goals in Germany's 2-1 victory over Bosnia. That should be enough to get him into the TOTW

ST Serhou Guirassy (Dortmund) - The Dortmund man picked up a hat-trick for Guinea in a must-win game against Ethiopia, making him one of the easiest additions to pick this week.

ST Khadija Shaw (Manchester City) - With the men playing for national teams, EA doesn't have a ton of high-rated options. Plus, the developers have consistently picked several female options each. Shaw had a brace in a 2-1 win over Liverpool, so she gives FC 25 a high-rated woman who should slot in nicely.

CM Alexia Putellas (Barcelona) - Putellas has quickly become a fan-favorite in FC 25. She had two goals and an assist in Barcelona's 7-1 win, so this is another easy pick.

CM Franck Kessie (Al Ahli) - Kessie scored twice in the Ivory Coast's 4-1 win over Sierra Leone. FC 25 has also consistently spotlighted the Suadi League this year, so he should make the cut.

CM Eduardo Camavinga (Real Madrid) - Camavinga missed out on Man of the Match to Matteo Guendouzi, but the Lazio man played limited minutes. Plus, EA could use another pack seller in the mix and the French midfielder is a great mid-range option.

LW Leandro Trossard (Arsenal) - Belgium roared back from down two to earn a draw against Italy. Most of that was due to Trossard who scored a goal and assisted another.

RB Achraf Hakimi (PSG) - Other players might grab this spot, but Hakimi scored a goal in Morocco's 5-0 win and is a popular Ultimate Team player.

CB Philipp Lienhart (Freiburg) - The Austrian center-back scored a goal for his nation and helped earn a clean sheet against Kazakhstan in the process. His countryman Christoph Baumgartner might slip in and take this spot, but we'll go with Lienhart.

RB Denzel Dumfries (Inter Milan) - There aren't a ton of great defensive options, so Dumfries might sneak in after scoring a goal to tie things up against a stout Hungarian squad.

GK Predrag Rajkovic (Al Ittihad) - This year, FC 25 has preferred penalty stoppers at goalkeeper. Rajkovic saved one to maintain Serbia's clean sheet against Switzerland.

Substitutes and Reserves

CB Radu Dragusin (Tottenham) - Dragusin didn't get MOTM as Romania beat Cyprus 3-0, but TOTW 25 needs more defending options, so we'll go with him here.

RM Faustine Robert (Fleury) - Robert scored once and had two assists in Fleury's 4-1 win over Guingamp, so she should slot in easily.

LM Said Benrahman (Lyon) - Benrahma scored Algeria's first two goals in its 5-1 win over Togo.

RM Nahki Wells (Bristol City) - Wells is one of the easier selections this week after putting away three goals and assisting a fourth in Bermuda's 6-1 win over Dominica.

ST Alexander Sorloth (Atletico Madrid) - All things being equal, this should go to Erling Haaland who scored a brace for Norway. However, EA has shown that it doesn't want to replace Player of the Month SBCs too quickly, so we'll go with Haaland's teammate Sorloth who assisted one of those goals and scored another himself.

CM Santi Cazorla (Real Ovideo) - Carorla provided two assists in his team's 3-2 home win and could be a fun flashback-style card depending on his pace boost.

ST Vangelis Pavlidis (Benfica) - Pavlidis scored both of Greece's goals to shockingly beat England. He seems like a lock.

LB Robbie Brady (Preston) - As mentioned, this team could use more defenders and Brady scored once and assisted another for Ireland.

CAM Alexandru Matan (Columbus) - Matan gives the MLS another TOTW card after scoring a hat-trick.

ST Mathew Stevens (Wimbleton) - Another hat-trick finisher, Stevens should make the reserves.

GK Guillermo Viscarra (The Strongest) - Viscarra had nine saves to keep a clean sheet for Bolivia.

LB Silke Demeyere (Le Havre) - One last defender to finish things off. Demeyere scored a goal and assisted another for Le Havre, so she should be in.
