FC 27 Team of the Week 9 - TOTW 9 Revealed

Team of the Week 9 is now available in FC 27 Ultimate Team, with Khadija Shaw taking the headline spot after receiving a 91-rated striker card. Florian Wirtz follows at 87, while Grace Geyoro and Jule Brand both receive 85-rated upgrades. The squad contains 23 players, but its value is uneven: there are a few cards worth considering for competitive squads, several useful options for specific leagues and positions, and a large group of 80-rated items that will mainly serve as SBC fodder.

For players opening saved packs or deciding whether to spend coins on the transfer market, the important question is not simply which card has the highest rating. It is whether a particular In-Form improves your starting eleven enough to justify its price. Jule Brand, for example, offers an interesting attacking full-back option, while Leandro Trossard has a different kind of value as a technically strong attacker. Shaw is the headline pull, but she is not automatically the best purchase for every club.

Here is a closer look at the confirmed squad, the standout cards, and how to approach the market while these items remain in packs.

FC 27 TOTW 9 Full Squad and Ratings

The ninth squad went live on November 11, 2026, and is scheduled to remain in packs for one week, until the next weekly release. EA’s reveal confirmed the main names from the earlier leak, although some positions differed from the leaked graphic. Geyoro is listed as a CDM, Brand as an LB, and Trossard as an RM.

One detail stands out immediately: only four cards are rated 85 or higher, while twelve are rated 80. That makes this a relatively top-heavy release. The strongest cards attract attention, but most packs will not necessarily produce an item that changes a competitive squad.

Khadija Shaw 91 ST: The Main Card to Watch

Khadija Shaw is the clear headline player in this release. Her 91-rated In-Form combines 91 Shooting, 89 Physicality, 86 Dribbling, and 84 Pace. That profile points toward a striker who can finish chances and compete physically with defenders rather than relying entirely on acceleration and quick turns.

Her best use case is a central attacking role where she can receive the ball inside the penalty area, hold off a centre-back, and finish after a cutback or a pass into the box. For example, if your wide player reaches the byline and pulls the ball back toward the penalty spot, Shaw’s shooting and physical attributes make her an attractive target. She can also be useful when you need a forward who can protect possession while a supporting attacker moves into space.

There is a trade-off, however. Players who build their attacks around very quick, agile forwards may prefer a smaller striker who can turn sharply in tight spaces. Shaw’s value depends on how often you use her physical presence and finishing rather than expecting her to perform like a lightweight dribbler.

Her Manchester City and WSL connections also give her a useful route into squads built around compatible players. Still, a 91 rating should not be enough on its own to justify a major purchase. Compare her price with the strikers already in your club, then decide whether the upgrade is meaningful in your actual matches.

Florian Wirtz 87 CAM: A Creative Upgrade

Wirtz is the other major attraction in the squad. His 87-rated card has 87 Passing and 89 Dribbling, making him a natural option for players who want their central attacking midfielder to create chances rather than simply make runs behind the defence. He can help connect midfield possession with the final pass, especially when opponents defend deep and leave little space for a direct through ball.

Consider a match in which your striker is being closely marked and your wide attackers are struggling to receive the ball. A creative midfielder can give you another way to progress. Use Wirtz to receive between the lines, turn away from pressure, and look for a short combination with a forward or a pass toward the far-side winger. His passing and dribbling profile suits that type of possession-based attack.

His weakness is not necessarily a lack of quality, but the opportunity cost of buying another expensive attacking midfielder. If your current CAM already performs well and your squad has more urgent problems at centre-back or defensive midfield, Wirtz may not be the upgrade to prioritize. His market availability and price should also be checked before making a decision; early price trackers reported limited listings shortly after release.

Jule Brand 85 LB: One of the Most Interesting Value Options

Brand may be a more practical purchase than her overall rating suggests. Her 85-rated card has 92 Pace, 85 Dribbling, and 81 Passing, with four-star skill moves and a four-star weak foot reported in the early card data. She also has the flexibility to feature in wider attacking positions, making her more interesting than a conventional defensive full-back.

The main concern is her 57 Defending. That makes her a better fit for an aggressive full-back role than for a system that asks both full-backs to stay deep and protect the back line. If you frequently overlap on the left, use her pace to move beyond the winger and create an extra passing option. When possession is lost, however, you need a midfielder or centre-back ready to cover the space she leaves behind.

This is the kind of card that should be judged by its role rather than its overall rating. A player who fits your attacking pattern can be more valuable than a higher-rated item that does not solve a problem in your squad.

Geyoro, Güler, and Trossard: Which One Fits Your Club

Grace Geyoro’s 85-rated CDM card is worth examining for players who need more mobility in central midfield. Her reported 90 Pace and 83 Defending give her an appealing defensive profile, particularly if you want a midfielder who can cover space and help recover possession. Her value depends on how she performs alongside your other midfielders: a defensive midfielder should not only win the ball but also provide a reliable outlet after the recovery.

Arda Güler and Leandro Trossard are more attack-oriented options. Güler’s 84-rated card has 86 Passing and 85 Dribbling, which makes him a possible choice for players who prefer technical control and creative distribution from the right side. Trossard is rated 84 and offers 87 Dribbling and 84 Shooting, with a reported five-star weak foot. His 80 Pace is the obvious limitation, so he is more appealing as an inside attacker or a player who receives the ball in central areas than as a winger expected to win long sprints.

A useful way to choose between them is to identify the weakness in your current attack. If you need someone to carry the ball and create chances, Güler is worth considering. If you want a more direct finisher who can use either foot, Trossard may be the better fit. If your midfield is losing too many second balls, Geyoro addresses a different problem entirely.

The 80-Rated Cards: More Than Just Pack Fillers

Most of the remaining players are rated 80, so their value will usually depend on their individual attributes, alternative positions, and chemistry links. One notable example is Al Hassan Touré, whose card reportedly receives a substantial upgrade from his 63-rated base item. The In-Form has 93 Pace and several alternative attacking positions, including LM, CAM, RW, ST, and LW. That flexibility could make him an interesting low-cost option for players experimenting with different squad combinations.

Sydie Peck and Terry Devlin are also worth recognizing for their inclusion. Both received TOTW items after strong performances, with the EFL highlighting Peck’s hat-trick and Devlin’s brace. Their 80 ratings mean they are unlikely to become automatic starters in most established squads, but they can still have value in themed teams, objectives, or specific SBC requirements.

For most players, however, these cards should be evaluated as low-rated special items rather than major squad upgrades. Check their actual market prices before deciding whether to sell or keep them. If an 80-rated In-Form is selling for a meaningful premium over its fodder value, selling can be more useful than holding it for a future squad that may never need it.

TOTW 9 Market Strategy: Buy, Sell, or Save Your Coins

The first few hours after a new Team of the Week release can be volatile. On November 11, an early console market snapshot recorded Shaw around 339,000 coins, Brand around 42,250, Trossard around 27,000, and Hermoso around 21,500. Those figures are historical observations, not guaranteed current prices. Supply, platform, demand, and market corrections can change the numbers quickly.

If you want one of the expensive cards, avoid buying simply because the item has just appeared in packs. Compare several listings, check whether the price is moving, and consider whether you can wait for additional supply. Shaw and Wirtz are the obvious headline targets, but their prices may be difficult to justify if your current starting striker or CAM is already strong.

For budget-conscious buyers, Brand and Trossard are more interesting starting points. Brand offers pace and attacking flexibility, while Trossard provides a technical attacking profile with a five-star weak foot. Neither is a universal solution: Brand needs defensive cover, and Trossard’s pace may limit him in wide areas. Buy them only if their roles match the way you play.

If you are selling a newly packed card, compare its current transfer-market price with the value it would provide as SBC fodder. The same applies when managing FC 27 Coins: avoid tying up your entire budget in one special card if several positions still need improvement. A balanced squad upgrade often makes more difference than an expensive name sitting in your club.

Players who are planning a larger squad refresh should also consider the next content cycle. Hall of FUT: Unleashed was being anticipated for November 13, although its release details were not yet officially confirmed in the available reporting. That gives buyers another reason to avoid spending their full balance immediately. Keeping some EA FC Coins available can leave room to react if a new promo introduces a card that fits your team better.

Are TOTW 9 Cards Worth Opening Packs For

TOTW 9 has a recognizable headliner in Shaw and a strong creative option in Wirtz, but the squad becomes thinner below its top cards. Brand, Geyoro, Güler, and Trossard offer more specific reasons to be interested, while most of the 80-rated items are more likely to serve as fodder or niche squad options.

That does not mean saved packs are not worth opening. If you already have packs available, this squad gives you a chance at several useful special cards. The important distinction is between opening packs you have saved and spending additional resources specifically to chase one player. With only four cards rated 85 or higher, it is better to keep expectations realistic rather than assume a large pack opening will produce a top item.

FC 27 Team of the Week 9 is led by Khadija Shaw’s 91-rated striker card, with Wirtz providing the main creative alternative. Brand stands out as an interesting value option for attacking full-back roles, while Geyoro, Güler, and Trossard each offer a more specialized solution to different squad needs.

The best approach is to judge every card by its role, not just its overall rating. Check the live market before buying, avoid overpaying during the initial rush, and keep enough coins available for upcoming content. TOTW 9 has some useful additions, but building a better Ultimate Team still comes down to choosing the cards that solve real problems in your starting eleven.
