Team of the Year Week 3 Icons Teased
EA Sports FC Mobile has officially dropped the teaser for Team of the Year (TOTY) Week 3 ICONS, and once again, the community has jumped straight into prediction mode. As one of the biggest and most anticipated annual events in FC Mobile, TOTY continues to dominate discussions with every new teaser.
Week 3 content is set to arrive this Thursday UTC, and expectations are sky-high after two strong weeks of Icon and nominee releases.
TOTY So Far - Setting the Stage
This year’s TOTY event introduced a brand-new Draft-based system, replacing older shard and grind-heavy formats. While the new system has received mixed reactions from users, one thing is clear - the card quality, OVR jump, and exclusive Icons have kept players fully invested.
Week 1 and Week 2 delivered several headline names that instantly became fan favourites, including icons and heroes such as Zico, Maldini, Cafu, Andrea Pirlo, and Al Owairan. These cards not only raised the competitive bar but also shaped squad-building decisions across all modes.
With Attackers featured as nominees in Week 1 and Midfielders in Week 2, players have been closely tracking EA’s release pattern heading into Week 3.
Week 3 Teaser Breakdown
As with previous TOTY teasers, EA has once again avoided revealing player names or faces. Instead, the teaser focuses purely on silhouettes paired with OVR, position, and nationality.
Despite the limited information, the clues were more than enough for the community to narrow down realistic possibilities.
The three teased cards are
117 OVR CM Icon - Netherlands
A Dutch central midfielder at 117 OVR instantly signals a top-tier Icon. With TOTY being the biggest event of the year, the community strongly believes this card points to Ruud Gullit.
Gullit is one of the most dominant midfield Icons in FC Mobile history, and a 117 OVR TOTY version would instantly become an endgame card.
116 OVR CDM Icon - Ghana
A Ghanaian defensive midfielder Icon almost certainly points toward Michael Essien.
Essien is known for his elite defensive presence, physicality, and box-to-box dominance, making him a perfect fit for a high-rated TOTY CDM Icon.
115 OVR LW Hero - Ivory Coast
This one is now clearly identified as Gervinho.
With the Ivory Coast nationality, Hero badge, and left-wing position, Gervinho fits the teaser perfectly. Known in FC Mobile for his explosive pace, agility, and direct attacking style, he remains a strong meta winger option.
Draft Strategy and Community Reactions
With Week 3 shaping up to be midfield-focused, many users are already adjusting their Draft strategy. A large portion of the community is choosing to hold onto Draft Vouchers, waiting for the full Week 3 release before committing resources.
This approach makes sense, especially for players looking to strengthen their midfield with elite Icons like Gullit or Essien.
Based on EA’s usual content rollout, the official Week 3 banner is likely to drop tomorrow, which should fully confirm the identities of all three teased cards.
What Else to Expect in Week 3
Alongside the new Icons and Hero, players are also eagerly waiting to see which TOTY Nominee cards will arrive this week.
So far
- Week 1 featured Attackers
- Week 2 featured Midfielders
Week 3 is widely expected to introduce Defenders as nominees
If this pattern holds, Week 3 could bring a strong defensive lineup to complement the elite midfield and winger options teased.
Final Thoughts
The TOTY Week 3 teaser has once again delivered exactly what the community loves - mystery, speculation, and hype. With Ruud Gullit, Michael Essien, and Gervinho all heavily hinted, this week is shaping up to be one of the most impactful phases of the TOTY event.
As Thursday UTC approaches, all eyes are now on the banner reveal and how these cards will reshape squad-building across FC Mobile.
