Bruno Fernandes, the Manchester United midfielder, has earned the top spot in the EA SPORTS FC 26 Premier League Team of the Season (TOTS) rating list. His impressive performances throughout the campaign in England’s top division have been recognized alongside several other standout players. Goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma of Manchester City and Hungary’s dynamic winger Dominik Szoboszlai also secured places in the starting eleven, underscoring the depth of talent featured in this year’s selection. The inclusion of Szoboszlai mirrors the breakthrough of Antoine Semenyo, who, for the first time in his professional career, has been named in the starting XI.
Similarly, young French forward Rayan Cherki has joined his City teammate Donnarumma in the lineup, marking Cherki’s debut season in the Premier League with a noteworthy accolade. Erling Haaland continues his streak of excellence, achieving his third consecutive appearance in the EA SPORTS FC Team of the Season. His presence pushes Manchester City’s total representation to four players this year, reflecting the club’s dominant form across domestic competitions. Arsenal also enjoys a strong presence, with four of its players—Gabriel, Declan Rice, Jurrien Timber, and William Saliba—earning spots on the list.
Chelsea’s versatile left‑back Marc Cucurella rounds out the roster of established stars. Beyond the core eleven, the game highlights emerging talent through the TOTS breakthrough items.
Hugo Ekitike, James Garner, and Lewis Hall have all been singled out as promising young prospects, even though they did not make the main team. Their recognition signals a bright future and suggests they could become regular fixtures in upcoming editions of the Team of the Season.
Not every high‑profile name made the starting lineup. David Raya, Igor Thiago, and Reece James were omitted from the first eleven and instead placed among the substitutes, illustrating the competitive nature of the selection process.
