For EA FC 26 TOTW 14:

Predicted Attackers for EA FC 26 TOTW 14

The attacking pool for TOTW 14 is absolutely loaded. There is a huge list of forwards who recorded braces, hat-tricks or decisive assists, making the selection extremely competitive.

Headline Attackers

These are the star forwards with the strongest case for an in-form card:

• Khadija Shaw (Manchester City W.F.C., ST) – Four goals and a WOTM performance. An upgrade from 90 to a predicted 91 overall would turn her into one of the most fearsome strikers in the women’s side of Ultimate Team.
• Erling Haaland (Manchester City, ST) – Two goals and MOTM. A 92-rated in-form would give him yet another lethal finisher version, combining elite shooting and physicality.
• Kadidiatou Diani (Olympique Lyon Women, RF/RM/ST) – Two goals and WOTM; her versatility on the right or as a striker, paired with pace and finishing, makes her a perfect option for hybrid squads.
• Alba Redondo (Real Madrid Women, RF/ST) – Another two-goal WOTM display that almost demands recognition.
• Fridolina Rolfö (Manchester United W.F.C., LF/LB/LM) – Two goals and WOTM from a wide starting position; a boosted version will be very attractive for players who value flexibility between attack and defense.
• Rachel Daly (Aston Villa W.F.C., ST/CM/CAM) – Two goals plus WOTM, and her ability to operate centrally makes her an interesting box-to-box or false nine option.

Hat-trick Heroes & Prolific Scorers

Beyond the superstars, several attackers delivered multi-goal masterclasses:

• Vangelis Pavlidis (Benfica, ST/CAM) – A hat-trick and MOTM almost guarantee an upgrade, likely around 86 overall. With improved shooting and positioning, he could be a budget-friendly beast.
• Callum Hudson-Odoi (Nottingham Forest, LF/LM) – Two goals, one assist and MOTM; a big boost from his base 78 card would make him a nimble Premier League winger option.
• Harry Wilson (Fulham, RF/RM) – One goal, two assists and MOTM; an all-round creative threat on the right side.
• Fredrik Aursnes (Benfica, RF/CM/RM/CAM) – One goal and two assists; positional flexibility will interest tactical players.

A wave of attackers also hit braces with MOTM awards, including Hugo Ekitike (Liverpool), Jizz Hornkamp (Heracles Almelo), Morgan Rogers (Aston Villa), Evan Ferguson (AS Roma), Federico Bernardeschi (Bologna), Geny Catamo (Sporting CP), Gianluca Scamacca (Atalanta), Gift Orban (Hellas Verona), Lassine Sinayoko (Auxerre), Odsonne Édouard (Lens), Oscar Gloukh (Ajax), Patrick Wimmer (Wolfsburg), Sam Lammers (Twente), Viktor Tsygankov (Girona), and more.

Creative Forwards & One-Goal Standouts

Not every attacker needed a brace to stand out. A few players combined goals with assists or dominant all-round displays:

• Selina Cerci (TSG Hoffenheim Women, ST) – One goal and one assist with WOTM; a dynamic striker option for Bundesliga fans.
• Alyssa Thompson (Chelsea Women, LF/LM/RM) – Goal, assist and WOTM; a pacey, skillful wide forward who will appeal to meta-focused players.
• Leroy Sané (Galatasaray, RF/RM/LM) – One goal, one assist, MOTM; his in-form could be a brutally quick inverted winger.
• Anthony Gordon (Newcastle United, LF/LM/RF) – Goal and assist; with an upgrade he becomes one of the most complete Premier League wide forwards at his price point.
• Lautaro Martínez (Inter, ST) – A goal and assist; a 90-rated IF would further cement him as an elite all-round striker.
• Harry Kane (Bayern München, ST) – One decisive goal and MOTM; while not the paciest, his clinical finishing and passing always make his in-forms desirable.

We should also mention supporting attackers like Ibrahim Mbaye (two assists, MOTM for PSG), Juri Cisotti (two assists, MOTM for FCSB), and Andrea Pinamonti (two assists for Sassuolo), each with a realistic outside shot at a TOTW nod.

The midfield crop for TOTW 14 includes prolific scorers, deep-lying playmakers, and physical enforcers. Many of these cards could become key pieces in your central setup.

Goal-Scoring Midfielders

The most eye-catching midfield displays came from players who found the back of the net multiple times:

Predicted Defenders & Goalkeepers for EA FC 26 TOTW 14

Defenders and goalkeepers often get overlooked, but TOTW 14 has several standouts who may become valuable meta or budget options, especially for players who prioritize defensive solidity.

Assist-Monster Full-Backs

The most spectacular defensive contributions came from full-backs who essentially played like playmakers:

• Janou Levels (VfL Wolfsburg Women, LB/LM) – Three assists and WOTM; if she makes the squad, expect a very attacking full-back with strong crossing and pace.
• Carolin Simon (Bayern München Women, LB/LM) – Two assists and WOTM; another offensive full-back capable of driving play down the flank.

• Georgios Vagiannidis (Sporting CP, RB/RM) – Two assists; a right-back with strong offensive output, ideal for Portuguese league squads.

Goal-Scoring Defenders

Several centre-backs and full-backs scored crucial goals that could push them into TOTW 14:

• Carla Andrés (SD Eibar, CB/CDM/CM) – Scored and picked up WOTM; her hybrid positions make her interesting for flexible defensive tactics.

Goalkeeper Candidates

Three goalkeepers, in particular, produced elite-level shot-stopping performances this week:

• Janina Leitzig (Leicester City WFC, GK) – Saved a penalty, recorded five saves and kept a clean sheet, earning WOTM. A boosted card would be a top-tier women’s goalkeeper option.
• Dominik Greif (Olympique Lyon, GK) – Penalty save, four total saves and a clean sheet with MOTM; likely to receive an 83-rated in-form if selected.
• Gerónimo Rulli (Olympique Marseille, GK) – Five saves and a clean sheet with WOTM; an 86-rated in-form could make him one of the most reliable Ligue 1 shot-stoppers.

Meta-Relevant Highlights & Must-Watch Cards

From a gameplay perspective, not every TOTW card has the same impact. Here are the players that could truly influence the EA FC 26 Ultimate Team meta if they make it into TOTW 14:

• Erling Haaland – A 92-rated card with even better shooting and physical stats will continue to terrorize backlines, especially in straight-line pace and finishing.
• Raphinha – A 90-rated CAM/winger with explosive pace, elite dribbling and strong shooting could become one of the best La Liga attackers.
• Khadija Shaw – Her upgraded strength and finishing would make her an absolute powerhouse in women’s Ultimate Team builds.
• Malo Gusto – Top-tier pace, overlapping runs and good links (Chelsea / Premier League / France) make him a likely end-game right-back for many squads.
• Maximilian Mittelstädt – A balanced full-back with attacking threat; great for Bundesliga meta squads using high-press styles.
• Melchie Dumornay & Jude Bellingham – Two central midfielders who can defend, create and score; ideal for players who prefer complete box-to-box roles.

If even half of these highlight names are confirmed, TOTW 14 will be one of the most desirable squads to open packs for or to target on the transfer market.

Market Tips Before TOTW 14 Release

Because TOTW 14 has such a deep candidate pool, the transfer market may react strongly. Here are some concise tips to navigate the days before and after the official reveal:

• Monitor live performances – If you see a forward scoring a brace or a keeper saving a penalty, check their gold card price early. Traders often buy in anticipation of a TOTW.
• Avoid panic-selling meta golds – Even if a card is likely to get an in-form, the base version can sometimes rise after the announcement because of increased demand for links.
• Stock up on fodder – High-rated cards (83–87) often increase in price when a desirable TOTW drops and new SBCs are released to match the hype.
• Be patient with buying new TOTW cards – Prices are usually highest in the first hours; if you are not in a rush for FUT Champions, consider waiting a couple of days.
• Use your coins strategically – Whether you build packs, trade, or use services like ItemD2R to supplement your balance, always keep a safety buffer for sudden content drops.
