Bruno Fernandes, the Manchester United midfielder, has earned the top spot in the EA SPORTS FC 26 Premier League Team of the Season (TOTS) ratings. His impressive performances throughout the campaign in England's top division have been recognized alongside a host of other standout players.
Among those sharing the starting eleven are Manchester City’s goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma and Hungary’s dynamic winger Dominik Szoboszlai, both of whom received high marks for their contributions over the season. Szoboszlai’s inclusion mirrors the breakthrough of Antoine Semenyo, who also secured a place in the starting lineup for the first time in his professional career. In a similar vein, Rayan Cherki, a promising young talent from Lyon, joined Donnarumma in the starting XI, marking his debut season in the Premier League with a notable achievement.
Erling Haaland continued his streak of excellence by making his third consecutive EA SPORTS FC Team of the Season, further cementing his reputation as one of the world’s most lethal forwards. His presence helped Manchester City increase its representation to four players on this prestigious list. Arsenal also enjoyed a strong showing, with four of its squad members—Gabriel, Declan Rice, Jurrien Timber and William Saliba—earning spots on the team.
Chelsea’s versatile left‑back Marc Cucurella rounded out the list of named starters. Beyond the starting eleven, the game also highlighted emerging talent. Hugo Ekitike, James Garner and Lewis Hall were all identified as breakthrough players for the season, even though they did not make the final eleven.
Their performances were strong enough to earn them the TOTS breakthrough item, signalling that they are players to watch in the coming years. Some notable names fell just short of a starting position and were placed on the bench instead. David Raya, Igor Thiago and Reece James are among those who were listed as substitutes, indicating that while they had solid seasons, they were edged out by a highly competitive group of peers. The women’s side of the competition received equal attention.
In the Women’s Super League Team of the Season, Manchester City’s Bunny Shaw was rated the highest, reflecting her impact and consistency throughout the campaign. The squad also featured Manchester United’s Jess Park and Maya Le Tissier, both of whom delivered strong performances for their club. Chelsea’s high‑profile signing Alyssa Thompson made the team in her inaugural season, while Arsenal’s Katie McCabe and Spain international Mariona Caldentey were also recognized for their contributions. The release of the TOTS list coincided with a range of promotional offers for football fans.
