EA Sports has officially released the EA FC 25 Team of the Week (TOTW) 5 squad, now available in Ultimate Team packs. However, this particular TOTW has sparked debate among the community. While it certainly boasts some talented players, it’s far from being hailed as one of the best TOTWs, leaving many players underwhelmed.
Lack of Star Power from International Break
TOTW squads are usually an exciting mix of top performers from the world of football, including players who have delivered standout performances over the last week. This time around, though, the international break has proven to be a challenge for EA Sports, as many big-name players didn’t make an impression. As a result, TOTW 5 lacks the kind of star power that typically draws excitement from the Ultimate Team community.
Luckily for EA, women's domestic football was in full swing, and some standout players from this arena helped rescue the squad from mediocrity. Barcelona Women’s Caroline Graham Hansen, for example, provided a much-needed injection of quality into the TOTW 5 squad with her impressive performances. Without her, it’s possible that this week’s selection would have been regarded as one of the weakest in recent memory.
Top Performers: Caroline Graham Hansen Leads the Pack
The star of TOTW 5 is undoubtedly Caroline Graham Hansen from Barcelona Women. She headlines the squad with an impressive 91-rated card, making it one of the most sought-after in the game. Graham Hansen’s performances in domestic football have been stellar, and her inclusion is well-deserved. Her card is likely to be a game-changer in Ultimate Team, with her pace, dribbling, and shooting stats making her a lethal option on the right wing.
Other notable inclusions are Bunny Shaw from Manchester City Women, who boasts an 87 overall rating, and Leandro Trossard from Arsenal, who earned an 85-rated card. While these players add some appeal to the squad, it’s still not enough to propel TOTW 5 into the ranks of memorable releases. However, the inclusion of Liverpool’s Dominik Szoboszlai with an 84 OVR, and Chelsea Women’s Mayra Ramirez with 85 OVR, do provide some solid mid-tier options for players looking to improve their squads.
Leaked TOTW 5 Players
A handful of players from the EA FC 25 TOTW 5 squad were leaked ahead of the official reveal, which somewhat dampened the excitement surrounding the release. Denzel Dumfries from Inter, Radu Dragusin from Tottenham, and Dominik Szoboszlai from Liverpool were among those already rumored to be part of the squad. These leaks, coupled with the underwhelming international performances, have left some players disappointed.

TOTW 5 may not have delivered the big names many were hoping for, but it still brings some strong options for Ultimate Team enthusiasts. As always, the challenge lies in whether players will be lucky enough to pack the likes of Graham Hansen or Bunny Shaw before the squad rotates out.
