Now that the full team has been announced, the TOTY event will kick off on Friday, January 21, 2021. The long-awaited cards will hit packs at 6 PM GMT. When is TOTY in packs? FIFA 22 promo explained Team of the Year works a little differently from other promos in FIFA 22, as the cards included will stagger out into FUT packs, similar to how nominees were announced. This means that the FIFA 22 TOTY will be announced on that Friday \u2013 as expected \u2013 but players will be available in stages. For example, attackers may be released into packs first, then midfielders, etc. This is in contrast to Team of the Season, for example, where the entire XI will be revealed and put into packs on that very same day. The schedule for releases has not yet been confirmed. Once this has been done, we will update this article. FIFA 22 Team of the Year nominees Goalkeepers Defenders Midfielders Forwards FIFA 22 TOTY cards The design of the Team of the Year cards has been shown off in glimpses. Until now, we have had to settle for just nominee versions \u2013 which are standard (and very similar each year). For a flash at the complete version, though, check out the official EA SPORTS FIFA reveal for the promo. It can be seen with a gold border.

The week starting January 24 should include some SBC and Objectives content around TOTY. So far, there have been some strong leaks and unconfirmed reports of EA dropping some absolute fire SBCs around, and during, the promotion. One of the game\u2019s most notorious leakers @FutSheriff has supposedly managed to uncover some SBCs that could potentially bankrupt players before we even get to TOTY! They have said they do not know the exact days they are coming, however, and it could be before TOTY, or during. \ud83d\udea8SBC days are not confirmed. They can either come during TOTY warmup or during TOTY.So if you see for now that they are all before friday, its FAKE. At least for me. \u2014 Fut Sheriff (@FutSheriff) January 17, 2022 Here are the leaked SBCs according to FUTSheriff: Hero Player Pick – 11x 81+ Attackers – 11x 81+ Midfielders – 11x 81+ Defenders – 3x 85+ Attackers – 3x 85+ Midfielders – 3\u00d785+ Defenders – The Hero Player Pick will be interesting with players scrambling to see if they can grab themself the ever-popular Ginola and Pele cards. Also, the packs centered around each position will be very tempting as players look to store them and increase their chances of securing a TOTY. Reaction to TOTY announcement When there are so many players to fill only 11 precious positions, there is always bound to be disagreements. Unsurprisingly, some of the FIFA 22 TOTY selections have become a bone of contention for the community with some selections raising eyebrows. One of the truly shocking omissions that has been echoed by players is Mohamed Salah. The Liverpool forward had a solid first half of the year in a struggling Liverpool team, and absolutely tore up England and Europe towards the end of 2021. \ud83c\udfc6 Football’s best, decided by you. This is your #TOTY. pic.twitter.com\/eyK03VbFgh\u2014 EA SPORTS FC (@EASPORTSFC) January 20, 2022 Here\u2019s a handful of comments and Tweets regarding this decision: \u201cSalah robbed\u201d – \u201cSalah instead of Mbappe and Lewandowski 99\u201d – \u201cI\u2019m so p*ssed that Salah isn\u2019t in there\u201d – \u201cHow\u2019s there 5 PSG players and no Salah?\u201d – The inclusion of so many PSG players has caused an uproar, especially given that PSG didn\u2019t win either the Champions League or even their own domestic league. There\u2019s also an argument that Kevin De Bruyne has been included based on past reputation. Truth be told, KDB has missed a lot of 2021 through injury and hasn\u2019t been the star for Manchester City that he\u2019s been in recent years. Users made their opinions clear on De Bruyne\u2019s position in the team: \u201cDe Bruyne, lmfao\u201d – \u201cMan didn\u2019t play for 9\/12 months\u201d – \u201cMans living off his reputation for the past 2-3 years?\u201d – \u201cKevin De Bruyne should be nowhere near this team\u201d – Once FIFA 22\u2019s Team of the Year is live we\u2019re sure everyone is going to be delighted if they manage to pack one of these incredibly rare and sought-after TOTY cards.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
