Ea fc toty - celebrating the best players of the year


Each year, EA Sports unveils its coveted Team of the Year (TOTY) selection in their flagship football video game. With the rebranding from FIFA to EA Sports FC, fans have eagerly awaited the latest iteration of the event now under the banner EA FC TOTY. This annual event highlights the greatest footballers over the past year, showcasing them with upgraded cards in EA FC Ultimate Team.

What Is EA FC TOTY?

The EA FC TOTY is an in-game promotion that celebrates the top performers from world football by awarding them special high-rated cards in EA FC Ultimate Team mode. These players receive notable upgrades to their in-game stats, making them some of the most desirable and powerful cards available. The TOTY squad is divided between attackers, midfielders, defenders, and a goalkeeper, all chosen based on their real-life performances throughout the year.

How Are TOTY Players Chosen?

The TOTY selection process is a blend of community involvement and expert analysis. Fans are given the opportunity to vote on their favorite players from a curated shortlist provided by EA Sports. The final team is determined by EA using this fan feedback in conjunction with real-world metrics and football statistics.

Voting Mechanism

  1. EA Sports releases a list of nominees across all positions.
  2. Players can vote online through EA’s platforms and official partners.
  3. The final squad is revealed, often through a week-long rollout of position-specific groups.

What Makes TOTY Cards So Special?

TOTY cards are particularly sought after not only for their rarity but also for the significant attribute boosts they offer. These cards often surpass the base versions of each player, and even most special version cards released throughout the year. A TOTY card represents a peak version of a player for that game cycle.

Key Features of TOTY Cards

  1. Massive stat boosts to pace, shooting, passing, and other key attributes.
  2. Exclusive card designs that stand out visually in-game.
  3. Availability in limited-time packs and SBCs (Squad Building Challenges).

Every year, the TOTY squad is headlined by the biggest names in football - players who have delivered extraordinary performances for both club and country. While lineups may vary slightly pending votes and game licensing, you can usually expect to see superstars like Lionel Messi, Kylian Mbappé, Erling Haaland, Kevin De Bruyne, and Virgil van Dijk among the selections.

Notable Inclusions in Recent TOTYs

  2. Kylian Mbappé - Celebrated for his pace and dribbling, his TOTY cards are fan favorites.
  3. Jude Bellingham - A rising star whose impact at club and international levels has earned him a place.

How to Get TOTY Players in EA FC

Securing a TOTY player is a challenging but exciting endeavor in EA FC Ultimate Team. They are available for a limited time in packs, and occasionally through Squad Building Challenges (SBCs) or Objectives. Given their rarity, many players opt to save up packs and resources in anticipation of the TOTY release period.
