At the intersection of the old and new years, FC 25 has recently launched a number of promotions to provide you with a better gaming experience. But among all EA FC 25 promotions, TOTY is undoubtedly the grandest and most popular.

This event is dedicated to rating all playable FUT 25 players in a year and selecting the best performing football players, so that you can use your FIFA 25 Coins in the future game to exchange for players that are both suitable for your game style and strong enough to help you win the game as much as possible.

Based on this, we will introduce you to how to participate in the promotion and a list of some nominated players.

What Is FC 25 TOTY?

As the biggest annual promotion of EA Sports FC 25, the team of the year (TOTY) aims to select the most influential and outstanding players in the game based on ratings and statistics, allowing them to shine and more prominently enter your player shortlist.

TOTY mechanics are the same as in previous versions of the game, where you can vote for 11 outstanding players from both the men’s and women’s teams. These selected players can then be included in the game as TOTY Player Items, giving them their own FC 25 commemorative value.

FC 25 TOTY Schedule

The game is expected to release attackers and TOTY Icons Team 1 on Friday, January 17, 2025. And the following contents will be announced in sequence gradually:

• January 19, 2025: TOTY midfielders.
• January 21, 2025: TOTY defenders and goalkeepers, TOTY Icons Team 2.
• January 23, 2025: TOTY release.

Other more specific schedules are not yet known, but the overall schedule should be similar to that of FC 24, so you can make FC 25 TOTY arrangements in advance based on last year’s schedule.

How To Vote In TOTY?

To vote, you first need to know that the event officially started on Tuesday, January 7, 2025, and will last until 11:59 pm PST on January 12, 2025. During this period, you can enter EA Sports FC TOTY website to vote. But remember, only votes sent during this time will be valid. If you are not sure what to do after entering the website, here are the steps we provide for you:

• Go to EA Sports FC TOTY website within the specified time.
• Go to Vote Men’s TOTY or Vote Women’s TOTY interface.
• Carefully browse the list of nominated players in all positions including attackers, midfielders, defenders and goalkeepers.
• Find your favorite players and select them to fill each position in your starting lineup.
• Check the option to agree to EA terms and conditions.
• Click Submit Vote option to vote successfully.

What Are The Highlights Of This Year’s TOTY?

TOTY promotion will allow you and other players to select two teams of 11 players each, with the winners then entering the game as TOTY Player Items. Each item will not only receive a unique blue design and gold accents, but will also significantly improve the corresponding player’s in-game stats and ratings, making them the best FUT 25 players you can choose.

It is worth noting that EA Sports FC 25 will also provide an additional 12th player alternative position for each of these two teams to recognize outstanding players who did not make the starting lineup, and this voting is usually held at the end of TOTY promotion. In addition, FC 25 will also launch a TOTY Icons team composed of legendary players.

These special items from TOTY promotion will be available to you as sets after release. If you have enough FIFA 25 Coins, you can add these high-value TOTY players to your team. You can even sell players for profit to strengthen the strength of your team, because the best players of the year who win this vote will then become the most sought-after players in the game, so the assets they represent will become your important chips in the game.
