EA Sports has officially released FC 26 TOTW 13, introducing another exciting batch of upgraded items into Ultimate Team. This week's squad is headlined by two global icons, Lionel Messi and Harry Kane, who continue to put up elite performances despite being well past the ages typically associated with their athletic prime. Their recent form has earned them fresh in-form upgrades, making TOTW 13 one of the most eye-catching releases of the season for FC 26 Players.

 

Messi and Kane have both already received several special versions this year, but their new Team of the Week cards offer distinct boosts that reflect their most recent contributions on the pitch. For Ultimate Team fans who enjoy collecting top-tier attacking talent, this TOTW is one of the most appealing drops yet, and, depending on pack luck, may be worth spending saved FC 26 Coins to chase.

 

Messi and Kane Headline the FC 26 TOTW 13 Squad

 

Lionel Messi, fresh off securing another trophy for his résumé, once again finds himself at the center of attention. The Inter Miami star played a key role in winning the MLS Cup, delivering a standout performance during the final against Vancouver. His creativity, vision, and tempo control were reminiscent of his best years, a display that ultimately earned him inclusion in TOTW 13.

 

Messi had recently appeared in the Ratings Reload promo, receiving an 88-rated version featuring the coveted Finesse Shot+ PlayStyle. Now, with his new TOTW item, he has been granted Incisive Pass+, a PlayStyle that elevates his ability to slice defenses apart with sharp through balls. Combined with his natural playmaking brilliance, this TOTW card instantly becomes one of the most meta items in the entire squad.

 

Harry Kane, meanwhile, continues his superb season with Bayern Munich. The English striker is already enjoying an incredible start to life in the Bundesliga, and his hat-trick against Stuttgart pushed him to yet another upgrade. His new 91-rated TOTW card is the highest overall in the squad, reflecting his dominance in front of goal. Kane's combination of shooting precision, physicality, and elite positioning make him a dream option for FC 26 Players who prefer strong, clinical strikers.

Meta Standouts of TOTW 13

 

While Messi and Kane attract the most attention, several other players shine in this release.

 

Victor Osimhen (88) remains a meta-friendly striker thanks to his speed, physicality, and strength in aerial duels. He fits perfectly into Serie A squads and hybrids alike.

 

Olivia Smith (86) brings exceptional pace and dribbling, making her a dangerous option for anyone playing in the women's leagues or building mixed squads.

 

Swedberg and Muharemovic (86s) offer flexibility for midfield and defensive roles, giving users new SBC fodder or underrated options for competitive play.

 

However, one inclusion stands out for long-term team planning, Roony Bardghji (83). FC Barcelona's new young winger receives his first special card of the year, and with Evolutions being a major feature in FC 26, his TOTW item has enormous potential. Many FC 26 Players see him as one of the best future Evolutions options due to his age, league links, and promising base attributes.

 

Messi: The Most Overpowered Player in TOTW 13

 

Lionel Messi remains the crown jewel of this week's release. Beyond his rating, his combination of dribbling, passing, shooting, and elite PlayStyles makes him unparalleled. His latest card now features:

 

Incisive Pass+ – piercing through-ball accuracy

 

Tiki Taka – enhances quick passing sequences

 

Finesse Shot – boosts long-range shot precision

 

When combined with Messi's trademark ball control and agility, this TOTW version becomes one of the most enjoyable players to use in Ultimate Team. For competitive modes, he is easily the most meta card of TOTW 13.

 

Is TOTW 13 Worth Your FC 26 Coins

 

For those saving FC 26 Coins for major upgrades, TOTW 13 offers strong incentive to open packs or participate in trading. With several high-rated items and multiple meta attackers, this squad is one of the more rewarding TOTW releases of the season so far.

 

Messi and Kane provide elite top-end value, while players like Osimhen, Olivia Smith, and Muharemovic deliver mid-tier options with significant upside. And for Evolution-focused gamers, Bardghji is a gem worth holding onto.

The FC 26 TOTW 13 release combines superstar quality with meaningful upgrades across multiple leagues. Whether you're chasing Messi for his unmatched playmaking or targeting new rising talents for Evolutions, this Team of the Week offers tremendous variety and value.
