Troy Parrott is a national hero for Ireland, and now could be rewarded with a ridiculous EA FC 26 Ultimate Team card.

The AZ Alkmaar striker had possibly the greatest international break any football player has ever experienced.

The former Tottenham Hotspur man scored a double in a shock 2-0 win over Portugal.

Then he scored a hat-trick against Hungary with a 97th-minute winner to send Ireland into the World Cup qualifier playoffs.

And football game nerds will be keeping an eye on Parrot with the fully licensed World Cup and international management coming to Football Manager 26.

Speaking after his exciting winner against Hungary, Parrot said:

“I’m really emotional right now… this is why we love football, because things like this can happen. It’s the first time I’ve cried in years.”

EA Sports will soon release Team of the Week 10 for EA FC 26, and Troy Parrott’s heroics practically guarantee he’ll get a largely upgraded card.

The Irishman already has a decent silver card in the mode with a 74-rating, 76 pace, and 74 shooting.

However, you look at the TOTS card Parrott got in EA FC 25 to see how strong an upgraded card of his could become.

The 91-rated TOTS card had 91 pace, 90 shooting and 90 dribbling as well as 87 physicality.

And it isn’t unreasonable to think EA will hand Parrott’s new inform card a big upgrade.

Considering the calibre of his opposition and the size of the occasion, Parrott should be given a monstrous inform.

Last week, English Kocaelispor striker Dan Agyei went from 65-rated to 83-rated with his EA FC 26 TOTW 9 inform.

If given the same 18-rating boost, Troy Parrot would receive a 92-rated card for Ultimate Team.

Parrot wasn’t the only national team hero who will likely get an inform card in EA FC TOTW 10.

Another is Manchester City striker Erling Haaland, who scored a brace in Norway’s shock 4-1 win away to Italy.

Haaland already has a 91-rated inform as well as 92-rated Premier League POTM and Champions League Primetime cards.

Norway have now qualified for the 2026 World Cup, meaning there won’t be much time for Haaland to play his EA FC 26 Career Mode save.

Haaland’s Norway teammate, Borussia Dortmund right-back Julian Ryerson, could also get an inform after bagging two assists in the same match.

Napoli’s Scott McTominay may also be included after his spectacular bicycle kick against Denmark.

And, another international hero who will likely get a new Ultimate Team card is DR Congo goalkeeper Timothy Fayulu.

The keeper plays for the Armenian team FC Noah but is in Ultimate Team with his parent club FC Sion.

Fayulu saved two penalties in DR Congo’s crucial shootout win over Nigeria and will surely be given an upgrade.
