On the evening of November 5th, EA Sports FC 26's new Team of the Week 8 (TOTW 8) will be released, and as usual, the player list has been leaked in advance. If you're curious about the 23 players chosen for this week, you'll find all the details below. According to the leaks, the standout players this week include Declan Rice, Mike Maignan, Hakan Çalhanoğlu, Ellie Carpenter, Pedro Gonçalves, and Antony, who are expected to receive some significant upgrades.
Although TOTW 8 might not be as strong as the previous selection, it still features some notable players worth considering. The top-rated cards this week come from Declan Rice of Arsenal, who scored one of two goals against Burnley and had an outstanding match, and Mike Maignan from AC Milan, who successfully defended multiple shots and a penalty from AS Roma, leading his team to a clean sheet victory. Both players are set to receive an upgrade to an impressive 88 OVR.
Following closely is Ellie Carpenter from Chelsea Women, with a rating of 86 OVR, after scoring a goal against London City Lionesses. Other notable names include Pedro Gonçalves from Sporting CP with an upgrade to 85 OVR and Antony from Real Betis, boosting his rating to 84 OVR.
For collectors focused on local leagues, TOTW 8 is the weakest team so far, featuring only two options: Haris Tabaković from Borussia Mönchengladbach, who provided two goals and an assist against St. Pauli, and Wouter Burger from TSG 1899 Hoffenheim, who scored two of the three goals against VfL Wolfsburg. Both players are anticipated to receive a seven-point upgrade, landing them at 80 OVR.
The following table summarizes all the currently leaked professionals for Team of the Week 8. Please note that these are not official confirmations from EA Sports, and the leaks may end up being partially or completely incorrect.
