Bruno Fernandes, the Manchester United midfielder, has earned the top spot as the highest‑rated player in EA SPORTS FC 26’s Premier League Team of the Season (TOTS). His consistent performances throughout the campaign in England’s top division have been recognised alongside a host of other standout performers. In the starting eleven, Fernandes joins Manchester City’s goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma and Hungary’s dynamic midfielder Dominik Szoboszlai, both of whom also secured places in the first‑team selection. Szoboszlai’s inclusion mirrors that of fellow newcomer Antoine Semenyo, who has been handed a starting berth for the first time in his professional career.
Rayan Cherki, another promising talent, follows his City teammate Donnarumma by making an appearance in the team during his debut Premier League season, highlighting the growing influence of young players in the league. Erling Haaland continues his dominance in the virtual world, marking his third consecutive appearance in the EA SPORTS FC Team of the Season.
His presence lifts Manchester City’s total to four players named in this edition’s lineup, underscoring the club’s depth and quality. Arsenal also enjoys a strong representation with four members – Gabriel, Declan Rice, Jurrien Timber and William Saliba – all making the cut. Chelsea’s versatile left‑back Marc Cucurella rounds out the list of established stars. Beyond the starting XI, EA SPORTS has spotlighted emerging talents who, while not making the main team, have been awarded TOTS breakthrough items.
Hugo Ekitike, James Garner and Lewis Hall are highlighted for their potential and impressive displays during the season, signaling that they are players to watch in future editions of the game. Some notable names missed out on a starting spot and are instead listed among the substitutes.
David Raya, Igor Thiago and Reece James are among those who, despite solid performances, were relegated to the bench in the virtual selection. The Women’s Super League (WSL) also received its own Team of the Season. Manchester City’s prolific striker Bunny Shaw topped the ratings for the women’s side, while the squad also featured Manchester United’s attacking duo Jess Park and Maya Le Tissier. Chelsea’s high‑profile signing Alyssa Thompson, making her debut season in the WSL, earned a place in the team, as did Arsenal’s seasoned internationals Katie McCabe and Mariona Caldentey.
