Bruno Fernandes, the Manchester United midfielder, has earned the distinction of being the highest‑rated player in EA SPORTS FC 26’s Premier League Team of the Season (TOTS). His impressive performances throughout the campaign in England’s top division have been recognised alongside a host of other standout performers. In the EA SPORTS FC 26 lineup, Fernandes shares the starting eleven with Manchester City’s goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma and Hungary’s dynamic winger Dominik Szoboszlai, both of whom also secured spots in the first XI.
Szoboszlai, like his teammate, is celebrated for his creative flair and goal‑scoring contributions, while Donnarumma’s consistency between the posts has kept City’s defence solid. Antoine Semenyo, another emerging talent, has been handed a starting berth for the first time in his professional career, underscoring his rapid development and impact on the pitch. Rayan Cherki, the French prodigy, follows his City teammate Donnarumma into the starting XI, marking an impressive debut season in the Premier League with a place among the league’s elite. Erling Haaland continues his streak of excellence, making his third consecutive appearance in the EA SPORTS FC Team of the Season.
His inclusion pushes Manchester City’s total to four players named in this year’s selection, reflecting the club’s depth across all areas of the field. Arsenal also enjoys a strong representation, with four of its players—Gabriel, Declan Rice, Jurrien Timber and William Saliba—earning spots on the prestigious list. Chelsea’s versatile full‑back Marc Cucurella rounds out the list of starters, highlighting his importance to the Blues’ defensive and attacking phases.
Beyond the starting eleven, the game also acknowledges rising stars who, while not part of the main XI, have been highlighted as breakthrough talents. Hugo Ekitike, James Garner and Lewis Hall are each identified as emerging prospects, earning the TOTS breakthrough badge for their promising contributions and potential for future stardom. Some notable names missed out on a starting position but are still recognised as valuable squad members, appearing among the substitutes.
David Raya, Igor Thiago and Reece James are listed on the bench, indicating that while they did not secure a first‑team slot, their performances were still deemed worthy of acknowledgment. The Women’s Super League (WSL) also receives its own Team of the Season.
Manchester City’s Bunny Shaw emerges as the highest‑rated player in the women’s lineup, reflecting her goal‑scoring prowess and influence on the pitch. The WSL XI includes Manchester United’s dynamic duo Jess Park and Maya Le Tissier, while Chelsea’s record signing Alyssa Thompson makes the squad in her inaugural Premier League season, showcasing her immediate impact.
