FC 27 TOTW 5 Hub: Release Time, Squad (Updated at 6pm UK) and How Long It Stays in Packs
FC 27 TOTW 5 is expected at 18:00 BST on 14 Oct: release time, the leaked squad (confirmed after the reveal), how long it's in packs and the Community Player.
Correct as of 14 Oct 2026, 09:20 BST (Europe/London): pre-reveal version
This is the weekly Team of the Week hub for TOTW 5. Until packs refresh this evening, the squad below is a leak, so treat every name as unconfirmed. We'll swap in the confirmed squad from FUTWIZ Players tonight. For last week's squad, see the TOTW 4 hub.
Quick answer: TOTW 5 is expected at 18:00 BST tonight
When does FC 27 TOTW 5 come out, and who is in it?
Community reporting expects TOTW 5 to land in packs on Wednesday 14 October 2026 at 18:00 BST (17:00 UTC), replacing TOTW 4. It should then stay in packs for about a week, until TOTW 6 on Wednesday 21 October. EA doesn't post a weekly TOTW article (the squad is revealed in-game), so check the content timer in Ultimate Team. [CONFIRM IN GAME: release time and pack window.]
A 23-name squad has leaked, led by the women's international window. None of it is confirmed until the cards are in packs.
[REFRESH AT REVEAL 18:00 BST: Wed 14 Oct after 18:00 BST. Rewrite this answer box as "TOTW 5 is in packs", with the confirmed release time (FUTWIZ added times), squad size, OVR range and the highest-rated cards from FUTWIZ Players. Switch the H1 to "FC 27 TOTW 5: Confirmed Squad, Release Time and Who Made Team of the Week".]
| Detail | What we know | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Release | Wed 14 Oct, 18:00 BST (17:00 UTC) | Community reporting; check the timer |
| In packs until | Wed 21 Oct (TOTW 6) | Community reporting |

Today only: the Max 86 Base Hero Upgrade SBC ends tonight. FUTWIZ showed about 8 hours left when we checked at 09:15 BST, which points to the same 18:00 BST slot as the TOTW swap. If you want it, finish it before the reveal. Our Max 86 Base Hero Upgrade guide covers whether it's worth it. [CONFIRM IN GAME: Max 86 Base Hero Upgrade expiry tonight (FUTWIZ lists 18:00 BST).]
TOTW 5 squad
Before 18:00 BST: the leaked names (unconfirmed)
[REFRESH AT REVEAL 18:00 BST: replace this whole subsection with the confirmed-squad table below. Delete every leaked name that misses.]
These names come from leakers, passed on by community reporting on the evening of 13 October. We haven't printed ratings, positions or clubs. Leak sites have published predicted stats, but predictions aren't ratings, and we only print OVRs once FUTWIZ has the real cards.
- Alessia Russo
- Patri Guijarro
- Elliot Anderson
- Ollie Watkins
- Florian Thauvin
- Christopher Nkunku
- Jordan Henderson
- Isco
- Pierce Charles
- Lineth Beerensteyn
- Tijjani Noslin
- Marco Rente
- Carlo Holse
- Samuel Dahl
- Cristian Romero
- Melissa Kössler
- André Henrique
- Adriel Ba Loua
- Bryan Reynolds
- Nicolò Cambiaghi
- Sidiki Chérif
- Jaminton Campaz
- Frank Acheampong
[CONFIRM: every leaked name, plus OVR, position and club, from FUTWIZ Players after 18:00 BST. Don't guess clubs.]
After 18:00 BST: the confirmed squad
[REFRESH AT REVEAL 18:00 BST: insert the confirmed table here (Player | OVR | Position | Club), sorted by OVR, from FUTWIZ Players only (per-player pages), with the check time. Add one line comparing it with the leak (names that missed, names that weren't leaked). Optional: if Messi, Kane and Diomandé are still absent, one line saying they were predicted by community trackers but aren't in the squad. Don't explain why.]
| Player | OVR | Position | Club |
|---|---|---|---|
| Confirmed squad goes here after the reveal |
Open any player on FUTWIZ Players for full stats, PlayStyles and live prices once they're in. If the in-game card ever differs from our table, the in-game card wins.
Headline cards (leaked)
This week's leak is led by the women's international window. Community reporting points to Alessia Russo's display for England against Greece and Patri Guijarro's for Spain against the USA, with Ollie Watkins, Cristian Romero, Isco and Christopher Nkunku in on club form. All of them are on the leaked list, so none of their cards is confirmed until the reveal. [CONFIRM: Russo and Guijarro match details against a match report before printing scores or goals.]
[REFRESH AT REVEAL 18:00 BST: name the highest-rated confirmed cards with their FUTWIZ OVRs, and apply the Holographic bands below to confirmed OVRs only (check FUTWIZ's holo versions agree).]
Holographics (EA): TOTW items are Regular Holographic at 87 or below and Pristine at 88 or above. That tier feeds into Item Score, which Streamlined SBCs use; see our Streamlined SBCs and Item Score guide.
Community Player and Ones to Watch (EA)
TOTW 5 is the fifth of six Community Player squads
EA's Season 1 announcement says the community helps shape one player in each of the first six TOTW squads. TOTW 5 is the fifth, so TOTW 6 is the last. You vote in the Ratings Database with your EA Account, and the chosen card carries a Community Player marker in-game. EA says the final pick is decided by a combination of EA and community votes.
Who the community picked for TOTW 5
We don't know yet. EA shows the result in-game, and FUTWIZ doesn't display the marker, so we'll only name the player once it's confirmed. [CONFIRM IN GAME: which TOTW 5 card has the Community Player marker.]
Ones to Watch holders: Anderson's reported +1
EA's Season 1 rules give Ones to Watch items +1 overall for each qualifying TOTW inclusion. Community reporting says one OTW item is in this week's leak: Elliot Anderson. If you own his OTW card, check it on FUTWIZ Players after the reveal to see whether the upgrade has landed. The full rules are in our Ones to Watch tracker. [CONFIRM: Elliot Anderson's OTW card shows the +1 on FUTWIZ Players after 18:00 BST.]
[REFRESH AT REVEAL 18:00 BST: if Anderson is confirmed, state whether FUTWIZ shows the OTW +1, and list any other confirmed TOTW 5 players with an OTW item.]
What else changes this week
TOTW Upgrade SBC: TOTW 1–4 only, about two days left
FUTWIZ lists the TOTW Upgrade SBC as giving "a pack containing 1 TOTW Player Item, from TOTW 1 to 4", with about two days left on the morning of 14 October. So it can't give you a TOTW 5 card. Check the tile on FUTWIZ SBCs, and see the TOTW Upgrade guide and the last-chance guide. [CONFIRM IN GAME: TOTW Upgrade (TOTW 1–4) expiry on the tile.]
Max 86 Base Hero Upgrade ends tonight
As above: FUTWIZ showed the Max. 86 Base Hero Upgrade with about 8 hours left when we checked at 09:15 BST, so it goes tonight. If you've been chipping away at the score, finish it before the TOTW swap. See the Max 86 Base Hero Upgrade guide.
Future Stars Team 2 on Friday: save or spend
Community reporting says Future Stars Team 2 is due on Friday 16 October. If you're choosing between spending fodder on SBCs now and saving it for Future Stars SBCs, keep a clean stack back. Check rebuild costs on Lowest Price Ratings, catch up on Team 1 in our Future Stars Team 1 hub, and see the Team 2 hub.
Red TOTW in the Champions Token Store
EA confirms the Champions Token Store can offer TOTW items with an exclusive Red Item design. Stock and Token costs are only shown in-game. See our Champions qualification and Token Store guide.
FAQ
[REFRESH AT REVEAL 18:00 BST: update the first three answers with the confirmed time and squad. Add "Who missed out?" only if the predicted names are still absent.]
What time does TOTW 5 come out in FC 27?
Community reporting says Wednesday 14 October at 18:00 BST (17:00 UTC). EA reveals TOTW in-game rather than in a news post, so check the content timer.
Who is in FC 27 TOTW 5?
Until 18:00 BST tonight, only a leaked 23-name list, shown above without ratings. We'll replace it with the confirmed squad from FUTWIZ Players after the reveal.
How long is TOTW 5 in packs?
About a week, until TOTW 6 replaces it on Wednesday 21 October (community reporting). Existing TOTW 5 cards stay on the Transfer Market after that.
Can the TOTW Upgrade SBC give a TOTW 5 card?
No. FUTWIZ lists its pack as TOTW 1 to 4 only, with about two days left on 14 October. Check the tile before you submit.
Who is the TOTW 5 Community Player?
Look for the Community Player marker on the in-game cards. We'll name it once it's confirmed. TOTW 6 is the last of the six Season 1 Community Player squads.
Does TOTW 5 upgrade my Ones to Watch card?
Only if that player is in the confirmed squad. EA gives OTW items +1 overall for each qualifying TOTW inclusion. Community reporting says Elliot Anderson is the OTW player in this week's leak, so check his card on FUTWIZ Players after 18:00 BST.
