TOTW 25 Highlights and Analysis

EA SPORTS has unveiled FIFA 21’s Team of the Week 25, showcasing standout performers from recent matches. While Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi were potential candidates, neither superstar made the final cut – a rare occurrence that might surprise many Ultimate Team managers.

The spotlight shines on Liverpool’s Diogo Jota (85 OVR), whose decisive goal against former club Wolverhampton earned him a coveted in-form card. Manchester City’s Kevin De Bruyne (93 OVR) and Bayern Munich veteran Thomas Muller (89 OVR) also received well-deserved upgrades following their consistent domestic performances.

For squad building strategies, consider these TOTW 25 standouts:

  • Diogo Jota (85) – Liverpool (Perfect link with Portuguese Premier League players)
  • Thomas Muller (89) – Bayern Munich (Strong Bundesliga hyperlink options)
  • Kevin De Bruyne (93) – Manchester City (Premium Premier League midfielder)
  • Lautaro Martinez (89) – Inter Milan (Argentine Serie A striker option)
  • Jesus Navas (86) – Sevilla (La Liga right-back with exceptional pace)
  • Kieran Tierney (84) – Arsenal (Scottish Premier League defensive upgrade)
  • Release Schedule and Time Zones

    Mark your calendars for March 17 when TOTW 25 becomes available in packs at precisely 6pm GMT (UK time). These special cards will remain obtainable for exactly seven days until the next Team of the Week announcement.

    Global release times for TOTW 25:

  • North America: 1pm Eastern | 10am Pacific
  • Europe: 7pm CET | 6pm BST
  • Asia/Oceania: 4am AEDT (March 18) | 1am JST
  • Pro tip: The first two hours after release typically see peak server activity. For smoother pack openings, consider waiting until off-peak times if you’re not competing in time-sensitive Squad Battles or Division Rivals matches.

    Expert Predictions vs. Actual Team

    Our pre-release predictions included 25 potential candidates, with three ultimately making the official TOTW 25 roster:

  • Kevin De Bruyne – Manchester City (Correct prediction)
  • Thomas Muller – Bayern Munich (Correct prediction)
  • Diogo Jota – Liverpool (Correct prediction)
  • Notable misses included Cristiano Ronaldo (Juventus) and Lautaro Martinez (Inter Milan), who were featured in our predictions but didn’t receive cards this week. This demonstrates the challenge of accurately forecasting EA’s selection process, which considers both statistical performance and promotional pacing.

    For future TOTW predictions, focus on:

  • Players with multiple goal contributions in key matches
  • Underrepresented leagues that may receive rotational attention
  • Performance in high-profile derbies or rivalry matches
  • EA’s tendency to alternate between offensive and defensive players
