Look Sports Media – EA Sports’ unveiling of Team of the Week (TOTW) 10 in EA FC 26 Ultimate Team has sparked debate, most notably for the conspicuous absence of Irish striker Troy Parrott. Despite Parrott’s stellar performance – a five-goal haul across two crucial matches, including a hat-trick and a dramatic 95th-minute winner that secured Ireland’s spot in the World Cup qualification playoffs – he was surprisingly omitted from the coveted TOTW selection.
The omission sent ripples through the EA FC 26 community, many of whom anticipated a significant upgrade for Parrott’s Ultimate Team card. Erling Haaland’s fans were also hoping for another inform card after his double secured Norway’s World Cup qualification. Similarly, some believed Scott McTominay deserved recognition after his bicycle kick secured Scotland’s World Cup qualification, but he was also overlooked.
Instead, TOTW 10 spotlights exceptional performances from the women’s game, featuring Manchester City’s Khadija Shaw and Barcelona’s Mapi León as headliners.

However, the perceived snub for Parrott has a silver lining. While he didn’t make the TOTW cut, EA Sports has seemingly compensated for his omission in a more significant way.
Rather than a standard TOTW inclusion, Parrott has been awarded a special Star Performer card in EA FC 26 Ultimate Team, boasting a substantial upgrade. This new card elevates Parrott from a 74-rated silver player to an impressive 87-rated striker, accompanied by significant stat boosts.
Beyond the overall rating increase, the Star Performer card grants Parrott a diverse range of PlayStyles. In addition to the Finesse Shot PlayStyle, the upgraded card features Finesse Shot+, Chip Shot, Low Driven Shot, Rapid, and Relentless, transforming him into a versatile attacking threat.
With stats like 87 pace, 87 shooting, 80 passing, and 83 dribbling, this card is poised to become a highly sought-after asset in Ultimate Team. Players can acquire this special card by completing two new Squad Building Challenges (SBCs) dedicated to Parrott.
This unexpected twist has reignited excitement among fans, who are now eager to witness Parrott’s continued success, both in-game and as they guide Ireland to glory in Football Manager 26’s official World Cup mode.
