New week and new predictions for the FIFA 23 TOTW 14 Team of the Week. As usual, EA will offer new IF cards following the results of the best professional players of the past week. For the moment, the TOTW (IF) card system seems to be the same as last year with a Featured card (highlighted) as well as fairly standard boosts depending on the level of the card. We therefore present to you our predictions for the new cards which will be available in the packs from Wednesday at 7 p.m.
Prediction : Score over the past week, 5/9.
Leaks : You can check our Team of the Week leaks to find out in advance which players will be selected by EA.
Guardians Team of the Week 14
Kasper Schmeichel, OGC Nice, Ligue 1
Once again we have Kasper Schmeichel in our TOTW predictions. The Danish goalkeeper had a great match against LOSC (a match in the Big Posters) and could therefore get a second TOTW card this year.
Benjamin Lecomte, Montpellier, Ligue 1
While it’s doubtful that EA will place two goalkeepers from the same league in Team of the Week, both options are particularly compelling. Here, Lecomte was extremely good for Montpellier, stopping all shots in his direction including a penalty.
Defender Predictions
Marcos Acuna, Sevilla FC, La Liga
After getting a TOTW card in early January, we’re taking the risk of listing Marcos Acuna again. The Argentine player was excellent for Sevilla, scoring a goal and an assist in the club’s clear win over Elche. Barring an amazing boost, this card won’t be as good as its World Cup Show.
Grimaldo, Benfica, Liga NOS
Although having obtained 3 TOTS cards over the last three seasons, Grimaldo has only won one TOTW during this period. The Spanish player could get there his second following his performance last weekend: a goal and a clean sheet.
Midfielders
Domenico Berardi, Sassuolo, Serie A
It’s rare to see a defending champion so battered but Sassuolo really didn’t want to slow down this weekend. The Italian team crushed AC Milan 5-2! Among the big players in this victory, we note the three assists and the goal of Berardi, who would obtain there his third special FIFA 23 card.
Luis Alberto, Lazio, Serie A
If just above we mentioned the rare aspect of a heavy defeat for the defending champion, it was to further accentuate the result of Lazio vs AC Milan. The Roma team also dominated Milan, ending the match with a final score of 4 to 0. We note the performance of Luis Alberto, author of a goal and an assist, which will finally get him out of your 83+ packs for a week.
Which Attackers in TOTW 14?
Niclas Fullkrug, Bremen, Bundesliga
What a start to the season for Fullkrug! The German player is currently the Bundesliga’s top scorer with 13 goals. His talents were put to good use once again last week with two goals against Wolfsburg, which should give him another special card.
Enner Valencia, Fenerbahce, Super Lig
Enner Valencia continues its good season in Turkey with a quadruple recorded last week. The Ecuador player is by far the top scorer in the league with 19 goals, a second TOTW seems particularly deserved given the goalscorer’s recent performance.
FIFA 23 Featured Map of the Week
Mattias Svanberg, Wolfsburg, Bundesliga
One of the new features from last year, the Featured Team of the Week card is back in FIFA 23. For TOTW 14, our choice is Mattias Svanberg, the Swedish player from Wolfsburg. Author of a goal and two assists, the midfielder should be highlighted by EA in this Team of the Week.
Cards that could appear in TOTW 14
We list here players who have a chance of appearing there but who, for various reasons should miss the selection of EA. The interest of listing these cards is to protect you from an investment point of view (see below) and thus potentially take some risks on less expected players.
- Kobel, Borussia Dortmund
- Hofmann, M’Gladbach
- Martinez, Inter Milan
- Tavernkeeper, Rangers
- Jordi Alba, FC Barcelona
- Andre Silva, RB Leipzig
How to get TOTW cards in FIFA 23?
TOTW cards are often interesting at high level but also for DCEs as well as to achieve specific objectives in friendly match mode. Therefore, even on players whose overall rating would be quite low, it is necessary to know how to get these TOTW cards on FIFA 23.
The first source is obviously the transfer market, where you can find a player’s TOTW cards in special versions of their cards. Be careful, however, because the IF cards sell for much more than the basic version. This is explained in particular by their rarity but also by the fact that the base price (in discard) is already quite high.
A second source remains gold packs of the game, which have these special cards for one week (from Wednesday to the following Wednesday at 7 p.m.). So be careful because once this week is over, it will be impossible to drop them in packs.
Additionally, Team of the Week cards are obtainable as a reward for FUTChampion (WL) depending on your ranking. If this year, the rewards could change, EA should not remove the presence of the TOTW cards. Similarly, the weekly ranking in Rivals allows to obtain TOTW cards although again, in FUT Champion mode (red).
Finally, specific TOTW Packs will be present during the season in ECDalthough the latter are often unprofitable because they are totally random.
Investments linked to TOTW predictions on FIFA 23
If the cards of the players selected in the Team of the week are often good sources of investment, it is also possible to earn credits via the TOTW. Indeed, there are several methods to speculate on the market.
Thus, the simplest and most regular is to bet on current TOTW players’ normal Gold cards. These are not present in the packs during the week, limiting the quantity of cards. If a player is looking to use these cards for DCEs or for their team, the prices can spike a lot. So buy the cards in anticipation of this rise, speculating on TOTW’s predictions. This technique is called OOP (Out of Packs, understand outside of packs) and also works for special cards in events. The more specific the card (big league, nation and rare position), the greater its potential. For example, a player like Jonathan Claus is very interesting because he is French, from Ligue 1 and on a relatively rare DD position in the Gold card. Therefore, his price in the Gold version could easily triple in OOP.
In addition, another method is to analyze future good TOTW cards and thus speculate on the cards related to them. For example, if Haaland receives a Team of the Week card, it’s likely players will be looking to incorporate him into their FUT roster. Thus, they will also seek to link this new card with other Premier League players, Man City players or even Norwegian players in order to create the best possible links. It is therefore possible to invest in cards allowing perfect links, just before the release of the new Team of the week. This technique will be useful with the release of special maps until around mid-December, before which time Team of the Week starts to look less interesting on FIFA 23.
Note that these two strategies require good anticipation of the market, but also finding the right timing. Often the cards to buy go up quickly, so you need to plan ahead who to buy. Also, this bull run won’t last long, so it’s necessary to play for a few days and quickly sell your cards.

So much for our predictions of the new FIFA 23 TOTW 14 Team of the Week players. If as often EA will seek to muddy the waters by selecting slightly more obscure profiles, we are confident that the majority of the players listed above will be available. as a special card on FIFA 23. As a reminder, the TOTW 14 will be officially unveiled Wednesday at 7 p.m..
