Fans are about to see the most prestigious FUT promo of the season so far: the Team of the Year (TOTY) is gradually getting underway. When can we expect the event to start in FC 24?
An overall rating of 96 is currently enough for Pelé’s Winter Wildcards object to be the highest-rated card in FUT 24. That will change in a few weeks: The TOTY arrives in January. The best eleven players of the past calendar year will be honored with outstanding special items – as well as the traditional 12th man. But when can we expect the Team of the Year to start?
When is the TOTY coming to FC 24?
It can also be assumed that EA SPORTS will leave the selection of players to the community for FC 24. For FIFA 23, the developer created a pool of 100 candidates for this purpose – 16 of whom came from the Bundesliga. Voting began last year on January 10.
The release date of the last TOTY is probably more meaningful for a forecast for 2024. This was released in the soccer simulation on January 20. This was a Friday, which can also be assumed for FC 24. The favorite for the release of the cards is therefore January 19.
The TOTY voting is also likely to start a little earlier than for FIFA 23. We assume that it will start between January 7 and 9. EA SPORTS could also announce the nominated players before the voting starts – and want to create increased anticipation.
How does the TOTY voting work?
The 100 players available to vote for in FC 24 will in all likelihood be divided into the positions of goal, defense, midfield and forward. In the previous title, a 4-3-3 formation was specified, within which the voting fans were allowed to distribute their favorites.
For this purpose, the developer will most likely once again create a subpage where everything can be voted for. In previous years, the mini-cards of the corresponding professionals could be dragged and dropped into the appropriate place
What else does the TOTY offer?
Like every other promo, the Team of the Year traditionally not only includes special cards for the FUT packs. But also objects that are available via Squad Building Challenge (SBC) or tasks. These usually depict players who just didn’t make it into the TOTY – the “Honorable Mentions”.
It would also be possible to integrate a system that provides for the exchange of tokens for special items or other rewards. EA SPORTS recently used such a system for the Winter Wildcards promo, and it could be implemented again
What happens to the women?
Official information on a possible TOTY separation of men and women is not yet available. However, the X account ‘Fut Sheriff’ claims to have exclusively learned that there will be two teams this year, separated by gender.
This would probably mean 24 instead of the usual twelve TOTY cards for FUT. Professional female players have been added to Ultimate Team for the first time with FC 24.
