The Team of the Year (TOTY) promotion in EA Sports FC 24 is one of the most anticipated events in the Ultimate Team calendar.

Fans and players alike vote on who deserves a spot in this prestigious lineup. Learn more about the current event and related content by checking out the EA FC TOTY tracker, which includes updates, predictions, and related content for EA FC 24.

What is EA FC TOTY?

EA FC TOTY showcases a selection of the world’s best football players as determined by both EA Sports and community votes. These special items feature some of the most powerful cards in Ultimate Team, offering massive upgrades in ratings and stats. Players selected for the TOTY squad are given exclusive versions of their cards, often with enhanced skills and unique visuals.

The Voting Process

Typically, the TOTY selection begins with EA revealing a list of nominees. These nominees cover each position - goalkeepers, defenders, midfielders, and forwards. Fans then cast their votes for who they believe delivered top-tier performances across the year. EA totals the votes and finalizes the TOTY based on both fan and internal evaluations.

Release Schedule

Once the final TOTY is announced, EA rolls out different segments of the team over the span of several days. This staged release helps maintain hype and provides opportunities for players to pack them throughout the event.

Usual Release Order

  1. Day 1 to 2: Attackers
  2. Day 3 to 4: Midfielders
  3. Day 5 to 6: Defenders and Goalkeeper
  4. Final days: Full TOTY Team available in packs

In addition to the main TOTY players, EA often includes TOTY Icons - special versions of ICON players who also had historic TOTY-worthy seasons in their prime.

Why TOTY Cards Matter

TOTY cards are not just visually impressive - they are some of the best-performing items in the game. These cards typically receive major boosts to pace, dribbling, shooting, passing, and defending stats. They play a key role in Weekend League squads and are highly sought after on the transfer market.

Investment Opportunities

During the TOTY promo, the FUT market often sees major fluctuations. Savvy traders look to buy cards ahead of the TOTY release, anticipating market drops and rises. TOTY is also seen as a time to invest in SBC fodder, icons, and meta-players who can be used in hybrid squads featuring TOTY selections.

How to Improve Your Odds

Securing a TOTY card is a dream for many, but pack weight is extremely low. Here are a few tips to improve your chances:

  1. Save packs before the TOTY event begins
  2. Grind upgrade SBCs and daily objectives
  3. Participate in TOTY-themed challenges for bonus packs
  4. Open saved packs when the full squad is available

While there is never a guarantee, increasing your volume of packs opened and utilizing gameplay objectives can give you a better shot.

TOTY Objectives and SBC Content

Alongside the release of the TOTY items in packs, EA usually launches a slate of Squad Building Challenges (SBCs) and objectives. These can include TOTY Moments players, TOTY loan players, and themed challenges that offer unique rewards.

SBC Tips

Prepare early by stocking your club with high-rated cards, chemistry links, and fodder before TOTY kicks off. Being prepared can allow you to tackle the most valuable SBCs without spending coins in a volatile market.

Final Thoughts

The EA FC TOTY promotion remains one of the highlights of the Ultimate Team season. It combines the excitement of community participation, elite-level content, and exclusive cards that define the meta for months to come. Whether you are in it to pack a TOTY, build your dream squad, or dominate Weekend League, TOTY offers something for every FUT fan.

So if you are preparing your club for the next big push, now is the time to focus your efforts. Track the latest news, vote wisely, and build toward the ultimate TOTY experience.
