Alexander Isak has become the main talking point in the Premier League Team of the Season for FC 25. While many players received average upgrades and questionable playstyle plus choices, Isak’s TOTS card is a clear exception. He delivers everything needed to dominate the meta right now in Ultimate Team.
His stats are stacked with 97 dribbling, 96 pace and 96 shooting. But what truly makes him elite is his playstyle plus trio: finesse plus, rapid and low driven plus. This combination gives him every tool to break through defenses and finish clinically in any situation.
Compared to other Premier League TOTS attackers, Isak clearly stands out. Haaland’s card is strong but not significantly better than his existing special items. Cole Palmer received no pace boost and lost finesse plus. Even Salah’s TOTS version doesn’t feel as sharp as his Team of the Year. Isak offers clear value both on the pitch and on the market.
The perfect mix of pace, dribbling and playstyles
Here is why Isak should be your top target from the Premier League TOTS:
- Finesse plus lets him finish from outside the box with precision.
- Rapid gives him elite acceleration and burst through backlines.
- Low driven plus allows for deadly finishes inside the penalty area.
- 97 dribbling makes him feel responsive and smooth on the ball.
- Strong physical stats give him the edge over smaller forwards.
He plays like a taller version of Mbappé with more strength and just as much technical ability. Whether you want a striker to hold the ball up or run behind the line, Isak can do both. His height and balance make him one of the hardest strikers to dispossess.
Smart ways to get the most out of Isak
To unlock Isak’s full potential in FC 25, try these squad setups:
- Use a 4-2-3-1 or 4-3-2-1 with Isak as the lone striker or central forward.
- Pair him with a technical CAM who has incisive pass or tiki taka to feed him chances.
- Use Engine to boost balance and agility or Marksman to maximize shooting and strength.
He also links well with Premier League and Swedish players. Bruno Guimarães, who has a leaked SBC, could be the ideal link. Newcastle teammates and other Premier League midfielders give great chemistry options in hybrid squads.
Pack weight will determine Isak’s market value
EA historically makes top Premier League TOTS players rare in packs. Isak is likely to follow that trend. If his pack weight is low, expect his price to stay above 1 million coins for most of the week. His popularity and in-game performance will only drive demand higher.
Compared to last week’s League One cards like Barcola or Thuram, Isak is expected to be far less common. That scarcity means if you pack him, you are looking at a card that is not just untradeable hype but top-level value.
Don’t wait to open packs if you want Isak
If you’ve saved packs for Premier League TOTS, now is the time to open. Isak is the best chance you have this cycle to pack a dominant striker. With La Liga still three weeks away, there will be more chances to save later. Today, focus on the biggest prize on offer.
Use your 84×7 and 85×10 packs and any stored player picks for the best shot. Isak is worth the gamble. Even if you miss, the rest of the Premier League TOTS still holds decent value, and the pack value is high due to stacked SBC content.
Open League One upgrade packs before they leave today, then shift focus entirely to Premier League TOTS packs. The odds of hitting a card like Isak will drop once his hype peaks and others chase him hard.
