None of these ratings are official. EA has not named the TOTW 7 squad yet, so every number below is a prediction from community trackers, and the real reveal on Wednesday can flip the list. Build your plan around the official drop, not the guesswork. The safe move is to hold your fodder, run the 81+ TOTW 1-6 Upgrade SBC if you own older informs, and wait for EA's posted squad before committing coins to any inform investment.
FC 27 TOTW 7 Predictions, When the Official Squad Drops
EA releases Team of the Week every Wednesday at 6pm UK, and the TOTW 7 squad goes live on October 28, 2026. That is the only date that matters for your club.
The prediction set shown here landed on Tuesday, one day before the reveal, which is the usual window where trackers post their final XI.
EA's own announcement is the moment the ratings become real, and past weeks have shown the Tuesday list and the Wednesday squad do not always match. Treat the predictions as a shopping list of names to watch, nothing more.
FC 27 TOTW 7 Predictions, The Lead Starting XI
The predicted XI is built around defenders and midfielders who kept clean sheets or scored in key wins. Gabriel tops the list at 90 after a goal and a shutout, while Raya leads the goalkeepers at 89. McTominay reaches 88 despite Napoli dropping home points, because his individual brace still stands out. Here is the full predicted starting eleven.
| Name | Position | Club | Predicted OVR |
|---|---|---|---|
| David Raya | GK | Arsenal | 89 |
| Gabriel Magalhaes | CB | Arsenal | 90 |
| Ezri Konsa | CB | Aston Villa | 86 |
| Melvine Malard | LM | Chelsea | 87 |
| Scott McTominay | CM | Napoli | 88 |
| Alex Berenguer | RW | Athletic Club | 84 |
| Nicolas Jackson | ST | Aston Villa | 85 |
| Ivan Toney | ST | Al-Ahli | 86 |
Gabriel at 90 is the headline card. A centre back hitting 90 off a goal and clean sheet is rare, and he would slot straight into most defences. Jackson at 85 follows his brace against Manchester City, the kind of upset performance EA loves to reward. Berenguer sits lowest at 84 after three assists for Athletic Club, a quiet but effective weekend.
FC 27 TOTW 7 Predictions, The Subs and Women's Pick
The bench carries two more high rated names and the second women's pick. Russo headlines the subs at 89, Malard at 87 is the starting XI women's selection, and both reflect EA's habit of including at least one women's player in every TOTW. Thauvin and Milinkovic-Savic round out the predicted bench with solid but less certain spots.
| Name | Position | Club | Predicted OVR |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sergej Milinkovic-Savic | CM | Al-Hilal | 86 |
| Florian Thauvin | RW | Lens | 85 |
| Alessia Russo | ST | Arsenal | 89 |
Russo at 89 is the standout sub. If she makes the official squad she becomes one of the highest rated strikers of the week, and her women's card already carries strong links for hybrid squads. Milinkovic-Savic at 86 is a safe midfield option, while Thauvin at 85 is the likeliest name to drop when EA trims the bench.
FC 27 TOTW 7 Predictions, Why the Clasico Names Fell Out
The weekend before this list dropped was the Clasico, and the early candidate talk was all about Mbappe and Raphinha. Neither name appears in the predicted XI. That gap is the clearest sign of how much guesswork remains this far out. A single big match inflates candidate hype, but EA weights the full weekend of domestic leagues, and a quieter performer with a clean sheet often edges out a superstar on the losing side. McTominay is the perfect example, his brace came in a home draw, yet he still climbs to 88.
FC 27 TOTW 7 Predictions, What to Do Before the Reveal
Your job is to avoid spending on a guess. Follow these steps on Tuesday night and Wednesday morning.
- Run the 81+ TOTW 1-6 Upgrade SBC if you hold informs from those weeks. It is the only TOTW related upgrade that does not depend on the new squad, so it stays safe through the reveal.
- Hold your 83 to 85 rated fodder. If a predicted name you own makes the official squad, its price spikes for a few hours. Selling into that spike beats dumping it early.
- Do not buy informs of predicted players hoping for a chain. The prediction misses often enough that this trade loses coins more than it wins.
- Wait for EA's posted squad at 6pm UK on October 28 before opening any TOTW related packs or committing to an inform investment.
- Watch the women's slots. Malard and Russo are predicted, but EA's final women's pick has flipped week to week, so treat those two as the weakest locks on the list.
The prediction is a guide, not a guarantee. Raya, Gabriel and McTominay lead the talk, but the only ratings that count are the ones EA posts on October 28.
