Quick answer: FC 27 TOTW 2 is live now, running 23–30 September 2026 — timed exactly with the full-game launch on 25 September. Michael Olise leads the release at 91 OVR, followed by Raphinha (89) and co-headliners Salah and Marquinhos at 88. All 23 players are available in packs via the Transfer Market and the FUT Champions Token Store.
FC 27 TOTW 2 arrived on Wednesday 23 September 2026, landing two days before the worldwide full-game launch. That timing means millions of players who jumped in today — or who skipped early access entirely — are opening their first packs of the season against this exact squad. Olise, Raphinha and Salah are three of the most commercially active player names in FUT history; the combination of all three in a single TOTW pool is rare.
This guide covers the full confirmed 23-player squad, what each card costs to target, and which of these items is genuinely worth coins — on a launch day when every pack you open is fighting for packs against peak demand.

When Does FC 27 TOTW 2 End?
TOTW 2 is live from Wednesday 23 September through Wednesday 30 September 2026 at approximately 18:00 BST / 13:00 ET / 10:00 PT.
Once TOTW 3 goes live on 30 September, TOTW 2 players leave standard packs. The Transfer Market window stays open beyond that — you can still buy a TOTW 2 card after it cycles out of packs, but prices typically rise once the supply tap closes.
If you are going to open packs for a TOTW 2 player, this week is the only supply window.

Which FC 27 TOTW 2 Cards Are Worth Targeting?
Not every TOTW card earns its price premium. Here is the shortlist that actually matters on launch day.
1. Michael Olise 91 — The Headline
Olise at 91 OVR is the highest-rated TOTW 2 card and his stats profile — pace, dribbling, finishing — aligns directly with what FC 27's manual-defending meta rewards. At his expected launch-week pack pull rate, he will be the most-traded card in TOTW 2. Expect his Transfer Market price to settle in the 350,000–450,000 coin range within 48 hours of launch; he will be cheaper on Monday–Tuesday before the Wednesday TOTW 3 reset.
2. Mohamed Salah 88 — Best Value in the XI
Salah at 88 OVR is underpriced relative to his playstyle links. As a Liverpool Premier League player he slots cleanly into the most common Premier League-linked squads. His pace and 5-star skills make him usable at a position the meta values highly (RM/LW). Expect his price to hover in the 90,000–140,000 range — that is the sweet spot where Transfer Market demand keeps it above pack cost but still accessible.
Why Salah over Raphinha here? Raphinha plays for Barcelona, which means his chemistry links are La Liga–weighted. Unless you are already building a La Liga hybrid, his 89 OVR rating is hard to justify the higher price premium over the more link-friendly Salah.
3. Raphinha 89 — La Liga Hybrid Pick
If you are running a La Liga or Barcelona-themed squad, Raphinha's 89 OVR is excellent value. His real-world form at Barcelona has been outstanding — the TOTW selection was not a surprise. Expect him at 180,000–250,000 coins during the first three days, settling lower after Saturday's supply surge.
4. Marquinhos 88 — Best TOTW 2 Defender
At CB, Marquinhos 88 offers the cleanest link set for any PSG or France/Brazil dual-nationality build. His FC 27 base card rating is 87; a +1 TOTW upgrade is a meaningful jump on a player this strong defensively. Launch-week price: roughly 120,000–180,000 coins.
5. Pascal Groß 81 — Best SBC Fodder Buy
Groß at 81 OVR is TOTW 2's most efficient SBC-fodder card. CDM/CM hybrid position, two in-demand league tags (EPL + Germany), and a bronze-ish pack cost at the lower end of the TOTW distribution. In a week when dozens of launch-window SBCs are live, having an 81-rated card with both league and nation value makes it a reliable component. Expected price: 9,000–14,000 coins.
How Do You Get FC 27 TOTW 2 Players?
There are three routes to any TOTW 2 card:
1. Pack pull (direct) TOTW items appear in Gold and higher packs at standard in-form pull rates. FC 27 does not publish pack odds (see EA's help page for general probability guidance). Statistically, launching dedicated pack openings for a specific TOTW player is never coin-efficient — you are buying luck, not a card.
2. Transfer Market (recommended) All TOTW 2 players are tradeable. Buying direct from the Transfer Market is always more coin-efficient than pack opens. Prices follow a predictable launch-week pattern: high on Thursday (release day), slight dip Friday, recovery Saturday–Sunday, drop Monday–Tuesday as sellers restock, lowest Tuesday–Wednesday before TOTW 3 releases. Buy Tuesday if you are patient.
3. FUT Champions Token Store (exclusive Red Items) Per EA's launch update Pitch Notes: "The Champions Token Store will offer red-design TOTW items, Evolutions, and Celebrations for Champions finishers." TOTW Red Items are exclusive to Champions Token Store and are not available on the Transfer Market — they are a FUT Champions reward only. If you want the Red Item version of Olise 91 rather than the standard TOTW version, you need Champions tokens.

How Does the TOTW Community Vote Work in FC 27?
For the first six TOTWs of Season 1 — meaning TOTW 1 through TOTW 6 — EA allows the community to vote for one of three shortlisted players to join the squad. TOTW 1's community vote winner was Felix Nmecha (Borussia Dortmund, 86 OVR).
For TOTW 2, the community vote mechanism selected one of the named squad members. EA opens the vote earlier in the week (typically Monday–Tuesday) and announces the winner at TOTW release on Wednesday. The voted-in player appears with a slight OVR bump versus their standard in-form projection — tracking which player won the vote confirms which card has the best in-form delta.
What Are the Best Coin Methods to Fund Pack Openings?
Opening packs for TOTW players is coin-intensive. The most sustainable launch-week coin methods in FC 27 are:
- Bronze Pack Method (BPM): Open bronze packs, list the common players. With the first-week price premium on all cards, BPM profit margins are higher at launch than at any other point in the year.
- 85-rated player mass listing: Buy 85s when the market dips (typically late Monday night), list at peak (Friday–Saturday evening). TOTW season creates extra demand for 85s as SBC fodder.
- Squad Battles grinding: Complete on World Class difficulty, redeem packs weekly. Season 1 Squad Battles awards have been upgraded with tradeable reward packs.

TOTW 2 vs TOTW 1: How Does the Quality Compare?
FC 27 TOTW 1 was headlined by Lamine Yamal at 91 OVR, with David Raya 89 and Lucy Bronze 86 providing strong supporting options.
TOTW 2 matches TOTW 1's headline OVR ceiling (Olise 91 = Yamal 91) and actually adds a second 88-rated player (Salah alongside Marquinhos), making the depth stronger. For pack-opening efficiency, TOTW 2 arguably offers more value per pull given the higher concentration of 85–88 OVR items.
FAQ
When does FC 27 TOTW 2 expire? TOTW 2 exits standard packs on Wednesday 30 September 2026 at ~18:00 BST when TOTW 3 releases. Players can still be bought from the Transfer Market after that date, but prices typically rise once the pack supply closes.
Can I get FC 27 TOTW 2 players in regular Gold Packs? Yes. TOTW in-form items appear in all Gold and higher packs during their active week. However, EA does not confirm pack odds for specific in-form cards. Transfer Market purchase is more reliable than pack-hunting.
What is Michael Olise's FC 27 TOTW 2 price? Olise at 91 OVR is expected to price between 350,000 and 450,000 coins during launch week. Prices are highest on release day (Wednesday) and typically dip Tuesday of the following week before TOTW 3 resets supply.
Is TOTW 2 available in the FUT Champions Token Store? Yes. A limited number of TOTW Red Items (visually distinct, exclusive designs) are available exclusively in the Champions Token Store for players who earn FUT Champions tokens. These are not the same cards available in packs — Red Items are Champions-exclusive.
What is Raphinha's position in FC 27 TOTW 2? Raphinha is listed as a forward in TOTW 2. At FC Barcelona he typically plays as right winger or false nine — his TOTW card retains attacking attributes aligned with his real-world form this season.
Should I open packs or buy from Transfer Market? Transfer Market is almost always more coin-efficient than targeting a specific player through pack-opening. The exception: if you have untradeable pack rewards (pre-order bonuses, Season rewards), opening them during TOTW week gives you a chance at in-form players at no coins cost.
