Keira Walsh (86 CDM - Barcelona Femenino)

Why She's Essential:

Walsh's TOTW boost makes her one of the most complete CDMs in the women's division this season. Her defensive awareness (88), interceptions (89), and passing vision (87) make her a core player in possession-heavy systems.

Best Tactics:

Use her as a single pivot in 4-3-3 formations or a holding midfielder in FC 26 Coins 4-2-3-1.

Ideal chemistry: Anchor or Shadow to raise pace and defense.

Perfect Links:

Aitana Bonmatí, Alexia Putellas, and Mapi León for a dominant FC Barcelona midfield trio.

Riyad Mahrez (85 RW - Al Ahli)

Why He's Special:

Mahrez remains one of the most technically gifted wingers in Ultimate Team. His 5-star skill moves and 88 dribbling make him fun and unpredictable in attack. The TOTW 5 upgrade gives him a noticeable bump in acceleration (83 → 86) and shooting (81 → 84).

Playstyle Recommendation:

Use him as a central CAM in narrow formations.

Chemistry style: Engine for silky dribbling and passing boosts.

Great for skill move enthusiasts and creative build-ups.

Cody Gakpo (86 LW - Liverpool)

Why He's Underrated:

Gakpo's TOTW card combines strength (85), dribbling (86), and shooting (86), creating a hybrid forward that can play LW, ST, or CAM. He's a versatile link option for Dutch squads and Premier League hybrids alike.

Best Setup:

Pair with Salah or van Dijk for easy chemistry.

Apply Hunter for 95 pace and 90+ finishing.

Investment Tip:

Gakpo's card has mid-tier rarity and strong links — good candidate for TOTW SBC fodder investment.

Caroline Weir (86 CAM - Real Madrid Femenino)

Why She's a Playmaker's Dream:

Weir's passing and finesse shot traits make her an incredible creative midfielder. With 90 vision and 88 long shots, she excels in 4-1-2-1-2 formations as the central CAM.

How to Maximize Her:

Pair with Walsh or Bonmatí for full chemistry in cheap Fut Coins women's squads.

Apply Maestro chemistry style for stronger ball control and shot power.
