Bruno Fernandes, the Manchester United midfielder, has been crowned the top‑rated player in the EA SPORTS FC 26 Premier League Team of the Season. His impressive performances throughout the campaign in England’s top division earned him the highest overall score, placing him ahead of all his peers in the virtual lineup. Fernandes joins a distinguished group of players who also secured spots in the starting eleven.
Manchester City’s goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma and Hungary’s attacking midfielder Dominik Szoboszlai are among those recognised for their contributions over the season. Like Szoboszlai, young forward Antoine Semenyo earned a place in the starting XI for the first time in his professional career, reflecting his rapid development and impact on the pitch. Rayan Cherki, another City prospect, also appears in the team, mirroring Donnarumma’s debut‑season success in the Premier League. Erling Haaland continues his streak of virtual accolades, marking his third consecutive appearance in the EA SPORTS FC Team of the Season.
His inclusion pushes Manchester City’s total to four representatives this year, underscoring the club’s dominance in both real‑world results and digital rankings. Arsenal also enjoys a strong presence, with four of its players—Gabriel, Declan Rice, Jurrien Timber and William Saliba—making the cut.
Chelsea’s versatile left‑back Marc Cucurella rounds out the list of starters from the London clubs. Beyond the starting lineup, the game highlights several emerging talents as "Team of the Season" breakthrough items. Hugo Ekitike, James Garner and Lewis Hall are celebrated for their potential, even though they did not secure a spot in the main XI.
Their performances this season suggest they could become regular fixtures in future editions of the team. Some notable names missed out on a starting position and are instead listed among the substitutes.
Goalkeeper David Raya, midfielder Igor Thiago and full‑back Reece James all find themselves on the bench, reflecting the competitive nature of the selection process. The Women’s Super League receives its own dedicated Team of the Season. Manchester City’s forward Bunny Shaw tops the rating chart for the women’s side, while Manchester United’s Jess Park and Maya Le Tissier also feature. Chelsea’s high‑profile signing Alyssa Thompson makes the squad in her inaugural Premier League season, and Arsenal’s Katie McCabe and Mariona Caldentey round out the lineup, highlighting the depth of talent across the women’s game.
