How to Get TOTW 3 Cards

TOTW 3 cards are available for a limited time in packs, generally lasting one week from the day of release. This means that players have a narrow window to obtain these rare cards. There are a few ways to acquire them:

Packs: The most common way to get TOTW cards is by opening packs. While this can be a gamble due to the randomness of pack openings, it can sometimes result in landing a top-tier TOTW card.

Transfer Market: For players who prefer a more direct route, TOTW cards can be found on the transfer market. However, because of their improved stats and limited availability, these cards often come with a high price tag, especially the top-rated ones like Lautaro Martinez or Eder Militão.

Squad Battles and Division Rivals Rewards: Another way to potentially earn TOTW cards is by competing in Squad Battles or Division Rivals. EA Sports often includes TOTW players as part of weekly rewards, providing another avenue for acquiring these cards without spending coins or FIFA Points on packs.

Impact on Ultimate Team

TOTW cards are game-changers in Ultimate Team. Their improved stats make them valuable assets for both casual and competitive players. Here’s how these TOTW 3 cards can impact your squad:

Enhanced Performance: TOTW cards generally have significantly higher stats than their regular counterparts, meaning players like Lautaro Martinez and Guro Reiten will perform better on the pitch in key areas such as finishing, dribbling, and pace.

Squad Building: These cards are particularly useful for building hybrid squads, as many of the players come from top clubs and nations. For example, adding Eder Militão to your squad opens up links to other La Liga players or Brazilian stars, offering more flexibility in your team’s chemistry.

Meta Shift: TOTW releases often cause shifts in the Ultimate Team meta. With high-rated cards like Lautaro Martinez and Ewa Pajor now available, you may notice an increase in players using these cards in competitive modes like FUT Champions. Keeping up with these changes is important if you want to stay competitive.
