A reliable leak from prominent FIFA leaker @DonkTrading revealed 18 of the 23 players for the upcoming Team of the Week (TOTW) 28 in EA Sports FC 25, featuring some of the most notable international performances in recent fixtures. This TOTW is generating special attention due to the inclusion of Real Madrid superstar Vinícius Jr., one of the biggest names to feature in a TOTW squad this season.
Vinícius Jr. – Brazil’s Last-Minute Hero
Vinícius Jr. earns his spot after delivering an extraordinary performance for Brazil during their World Cup 2026 qualifier against Colombia on March 21. In a dramatic finish, Vinícius scored the match-winning goal in the 99th minute, ensuring a crucial 2-1 victory for Brazil. His standout display finally gives Ultimate Team players a highly usable TOTW card, breaking the recent trend of less impactful cards.
Arda Güler Continues to Impress
Real Madrid’s young talent, Arda Güler, also secured a spot in TOTW 28 after shining for Turkey in the UEFA Nations League playoff against Hungary on March 23. Güler scored Turkey’s second goal in their convincing 3-0 win, helping Turkey secure promotion to League A with a dominant 6-1 aggregate victory.
