Based on a recent X post from DonkTrading, Swedish striker Viktor Gyokeres is expected to be a part of the upcoming TOTW 17 promo cards. However, he might not receive the PlayStyle+ trait on his special item card. This has sparked a genuine concern among EA FC 25 fans. The 26-year-old striker Gyokeres has performed phenomenally in the 2024/25 campaign so far. He's currently the leading goal scorer in Liga Portugal with 21 goals in 17 appearances.
Gyokeres scored a phenomenal hat trick in Sporting CP's recent matchup against Vitoria SC. On top of that, he bagged the winning goal in the Taca Da Liga Semifinal match against Porto, helping his club to secure a spot in the grand final.
After proving himself in the domestic league this week, Gyokeres will likely be rewarded by EA Sports with a special TOTW item. While all eyes will be on Bellingham and Haaland, several netizens have shown discontent that EA Sports might not provide any special playstyle trait for the Swedish striker even in 2025.

A prominent EA FC content leaker DonkTrading expressed his concern and brought this matter to public attention with a post on X that said:
"No PlayStyle+ for Gyokeres it’s 2025"
Naturally, several users including @Nick_BVB_1909 and @kongobob1 mirrored the concern and questioned why EA might not provide any PlayStyles+ for the most sought-after striker in Europe.
Although the discussion mainly revolved around EA not supposedly providing Gyokeres with a PlayStyle+, some fans even questioned the player selection for TOTW 17. According to the comments, players like Arda Guller, Christian Pulisic, and Youssef En Nesyri deserved a spot in this week's TOTW roster.
Note: Some parts of the article are speculative and based on leaked information from X/@DonkTrading. Readers are advised to take the information with a grain of salt.
Should Viktor Gyokeres receive a PlayStyle+ trait for his TOTW 17 special card?
Currently, Viktor Gyokeres has two special items apart from his base 84-rated (overall) rare gold edition. While his ThunderStruck version has a Rapid+ PlayStyle trait, the other 87-rated TOTW card has no such traits. Moreover, based on the leaked information from Donk, his TOTW 17 will likely not feature any special PlaytStyle+ trait. However, considering his recent performances, he should be awarded a Power Shot+ trait for his TOTW 17 card to fit into the current EA FC 25 meta.
