You can find these mainly in the packs that you can purchase in-game. As always, each player's stats are based on their recent past performance. The better they played, the higher the rating.This time the best card - as already assumed in the predictions - goes to the account of the French Karim Benzema from Real Madrid. He trumps with an impressive 93er rating and can convince both in dribbling and shooting. Directly behind is Serge Gnabry, a German player. The FC Bayern Munich striker has an 87 rating and is a real offensive all-rounder. The third best card is given to Dries Mertens. The Belgian is currently under contract with the Italian club SSC Napoli and is on the virtual field with an 86 rating. Players from the German Bundesliga such as André Silva (Eintracht Frankfurt) and Christian Günter (SC Freiburg) are also involved.

FIFA 21 TOTW 26 release dateToday is the day, FIFA fans! Wednesday 24th March 2021 is the release date for TOTW 26. This shouldn’t come as a big surprise to players, because Wednesday releases have long been standard for TOTW. It’s a little treat in the middle of the week.
What time is FIFA 21 TOTW 26 released?This week’s TOTW became available at around 6pm GMT today in the UK. This early-evening drop has been normal for a while now, although long-term fans of the franchise will remember that 3pm drops used to be the norm. It’s all about that 6pm launch these days – it’s something to look forward to at the end of the working day.

We now know exactly which players are featuring in FIFA 21 TOTW 26, with EA sharing some images (including the one above) to reveal the picks for this week. Below is the full list of players, their positions and their ratings:
Arsenal’s Alexandre Lacazette got snubbed.
Prior to EA dropping its official TOTW 26 announcement later today, we laid some predictions on the line. As ever, the last seven days of real-life football have provided us with plenty of on-pitch heroes to choose from. For posterity, you can find our predictions below…
Patrick Bamford of Leeds United scored and assisted against Fulham on Friday, which could be enough to put him in the running for a TOTW card.
Nathan Redmond from Southampton also put in a strong performance, as did Leandro Trossard and Danny Welbeck from Brighton.
Leicester’s Youri Tielemans also impressed, as did his teammate Kelechi Iheanacho. But since Iheanacho was in last week’s TOTW 25, it’s very unlikely that he’ll be picked this week as well.
Arsenal’s Alexandre Lacazette is another strong pick, as is Jesse Lingard (who is currently at West Ham, on loan from Manchester United).
Or could Watford be in line for some love from EA? Francisco Sierralta has received a lot of praise from fans of the Championship side, as has his teammate Ken Sema. It’s always worth remembering that TOTW can include players from any division!
Looking further afield, Kylian Mbappé scored twice against Leon to put Paris Saint Germain at the top of France’s Ligue 1. A big-name player like that, in top form, is always in with a chance. And the fact that he’s a FIFA cover star can’t hurt, either.
One person you shouldn’t expect to see is Mark Wright, who was recently added to the game as one of its worst players. Sorry Mark!
With the gift of hindsight, you can now see which of our predictions were right! We’ll see you back here next week for more TOTW fun.
