I. TOTW 12 - Headline Cards (86+ OVR)

The top row of TOTW 12 features the most elite in-forms of the release—players who will immediately fit into high-level squads thanks to superior pace, power, or tactical utility. These cards typically become the most expensive in the batch, especially if they fill meta-favored positions.

1. Martínez - 89 OVR

This card stands out instantly as the highest-rated item in TOTW 12. With a well-rounded stat spread featuring excellent finishing, strong physicality, and high attacking positioning, Martínez is built for players who prefer a traditional striker who can hold up play and finish reliably inside the box. His strength rating, combined with respectable agility, makes him a threat in both through-ball systems and possession-based attacks.

2. Heggeberg - 88 OVR

Heggeberg's card fits the mold of a creative yet clinical attacking leader. With a blend of finishing, dribbling, and playmaking values, she becomes an excellent forward option for players using wide formations such as 4-3-3 or 4-2-3-1. Her shooting ratings allow her to generate space outside the box and deliver dangerous driven efforts.

3. David Neres - 86 OVR

Neres continues his tradition of receiving agile, fast, dribble-oriented in-forms. His pace and dribbling stats make him one of the most meta-relevant cards of TOTW 12, especially for players who rely on skills, rapid directional changes, and wing penetration. If you enjoy 5-star skillers or nimble wingers, this is one of the release's must-have cards.

4. Thiaw - 86 OVR

Thiaw's in-form is a welcome addition to defensive squads needing pacey, strong CBs. FC 26 places a huge emphasis on defender athleticism, and Thiaw delivers exactly that: impressive defensive awareness, strong physical presence, and enough speed to keep up with meta attackers. Chemically, he links well with Bundesliga hybrids.

5. Petralia - 86 OVR

Petralia brings balance and reliability. His stats suggest he's suitable for both ball progression and solid defensive work. He's a versatile option who fits formations using holding midfielders who must intercept, recycle, and dictate tempo.

6. Tomori - 86 OVR

Tomori's TOTW card is always a community favorite thanks to his trademark elite pace and mobility for a CB. His in-form continues that tradition, making him one of the fastest central defenders in the TOTW pool. In competitive modes where speed kills, Tomori will almost certainly be among the most expensive cards of this release.

II. Upper-Mid Tier TOTW Cards (84-86 OVR)

The middle block of TOTW 12 includes players who might not break into top-tier squads but still hold great value, especially for Road to Glory players, objective grinding, and meta-compliant hybrid builds.

Foden - 86 OVR

A technically gifted midfielder, Foden's TOTW offers elite dribbling, strong ball control, and excellent playmaking. His versatility makes him viable as a CAM, CM, or even RW in certain setups. His agility and close control shine especially in tight spaces—ideal for 4-1-2-1-2 narrow players.

Hancko - 86 OVR

Hancko's defensive build suits players who want a left-footed CB with good tackling, positioning, and stamina. He's especially attractive for linking with Eredivisie squads or underdog hybrid builds.

Wilms - 86 OVR

Wilms provides a dependable fullback profile with standout defending stats and enough pace to keep up with fast wingers. This card works well in both attacking and defensive fullback roles, depending on your tactical instructions.

Adeyemi - 85 OVR

Adeyemi is one of the most exciting attackers of TOTW 12 thanks to his exceptional pace and acceleration. With attributes that allow him to burst past backlines, he's a dream for counterattacking systems. His dribbling and finishing numbers ensure he can convert chances reliably, making him a must-watch card for Bundesliga fans.

Falcone - 85 OVR

Falcone's TOTW goalie card provides reliable reflexes and handling. Good GK items are vital early and mid-cycle due to how unpredictable keeper AI can be, so a card like Falcone provides stability at a low cost.

Girão - 84 OVR

A steady and balanced item, Girão's in-form fits nicely into budget leagues and hybrid squads. He is unlikely to be meta-defining but provides strong links and dependable utility.

III. Value Picks & Budget Gems (83-84 OVR)

One of the joys of TOTW releases is the appearance of budget-friendly cards that massively overperform their rating. Prepare plenty of  and choose your favorite players. These items may not headline social media discussions, but they frequently offer some of the best coin-to-performance ratios.

Pablo Fornals - 84 OVR

Fornals brings a creative midfielder profile with balanced passing, vision, and ball retention. For players running Premier League hybrids on a budget, he offers a dependable ball-playing presence.

Midtsjø's card leans toward a box-to-box CDM/CM role, combining stamina, interceptions, and decent short passing. He's a perfect fit for players who value midfield stability.

Thauvin - 83 OVR

A long-time FUT favorite, Thauvin provides high dribbling and finesse-shot potential—great for curling efforts from the right side. His card performs well in possession-based attacks.

Sallai - 83 OVR

Sallai brings pace and versatility, suitable for RM/LM/CF roles. His movement off the ball and agility make him a strong pick for players who need rotational attackers.

Özer - 83 OVR

Goalkeeper items at this level often become sleepers, and Özer fits that category. Good reflexes and diving make him a dependable choice for budget squads.

Onuachu - 83 OVR

Onuachu brings a unique profile: towering physical presence, heading ability, and hold-up strength. Target-man systems thrive with cards like this, especially in 4-4-2 or 4-3-3.

IV. The Final Row - Rotational Depth & Chemistry Enhancers

The bottom row features additional versatile low-rated TOTW players who can help complete league objectives, form unique squad-building solutions, or serve as useful substitutes.

Beni - 83 OVR

A reliable midfielder with balanced stats across the board. Good for linking nations or leagues not often represented in meta squads.

V. Meta Relevance and Market Impact

TOTW 12 is one of the most balanced selections yet this cycle. It includes:

Elite defenders like Tomori and Thiaw

Fast, agile attackers like Neres and Adeyemi

Top-tier finishers like Martínez

Creative midfielders such as Foden and Fornals

Useful budget diamonds like Tripic, Simms, and Sallai

The diversity of leagues and nationalities also significantly boosts the SBC market, as more players pursue unique hybrid squad-building options. Furthermore, cards like Tomori, Neres, and Adeyemi will likely rise in price due to their popularity in Weekend League squads.
