No. Spending money enhances your player's build, but doesn't increase personal skill.

"Pay to win" is a gaming model where players can gain significant competitive advantages over others by spending real-world money, rather than relying solely on skill or time invested. This frequently involves purchasing exclusive gear, powerful items, or stat-boosting upgrades that make it difficult for non-paying players to compete.
If you follow the direct definition then yes, this would be pay to win.
Correct me if I am wrong but from what I understand you can not create some of these builds with the offered stats and boosts in the game (they are only given to the builds that cost "real world money")

  This is correct. You can't build the same loadouts since they don't have the available amount of points. Regardless, personal skill and team chemistry is what determines the outcome of games rather than boosted attributes. For example, high speed and shot accuracy aren't really effective when you have defenders not giving them the time and space to use those attributes.

    Personal skill or team chemistry does not change the fact that you are selling a competitive advantage over a player who its not willing to spend real world money. That is what the definition of pay to win is.
    If boosted attributes have no real purpose to an outcome in a game then why do they exist? Why is EA creating builds with higher then allowed stats if its not to entice the player to spend more money to get an edge over someone else?
    Why not allow all players the chance to have the same level of stats or boosts so that they can grow their skills? Seemingly, that doesn't seem to be the image that EA wants to portray to its playerbase.
