One of the biggest events in EA FC 24 is set to begin in April, but leakers have already presented the supposed card design for the Team of the Season (TOTS). In this context, we introduce some Bundesliga professionals who have legitimate hopes for a spot in the TOTS based on their performances.
Who is behind the leaks? Donktrading is one of the most well-known leakers in the FIFA/EA FC scene. With his leaks about yet-to-be-released players, Squad Building Challenges (SBCs), or packs, he has often proven to have a good nose for what’s coming.
The insider has now presented the design for the TOTS event well in advance in collaboration with other colleagues. Here you see a possible TOTS card for striker Rasmus Højlund, who has made quite an impact at Manchester United with many important goals, especially in the second half of the season:
Which Bundesliga stars do we see in the new TOTS design?
What is the TOTS event? The TOTS is the biggest event of the season after the Team of the Year (TOTY). As the name suggests, the best players of the current season are crowned here. Among other things, the top five leagues (Germany, England, Spain, Italy, France) each receive their own TOTS with 11 players.
In recent years, the event has stood out with strong upgrades that could even compete with the significant improvements of the TOTY cards. Like the TOTY, which appeared in EA FC 24 with twice as many cards, we also expect more TOTS professionals than ever before this year. This is because, in addition to the usual TOTS cards from men’s football, more event players might also be included.
These 11 Bundesliga stars could expect a TOTS based on their performances:
These were our criteria: For our predictions, we relied on the database and evaluations from Sofascore. Based on the player statistics, they give each professional a rating ranging from 0 to 10 after the matches. Based on all performance metrics, an average overall rating is derived for each player, which we used for our first prediction.
Important note: We tried to cover a relatively broad spectrum of teams in our Bundesliga TOTS prediction where it made sense. Some stars, who also had strong performances, had to be left out at least from the first team.
Starting eleven of the best players from the Bundesliga season 2023/24
- GK: Michael Zetterer – SV Werder Bremen (avg. Sofascore rating: 7.39)
- RM: Leroy Sané – FC Bayern (avg. Sofascore rating: 7.85)

The team consists of players from 7 different teams. The majority of professionals come from Bayer Leverkusen and FC Bayern, each represented by 3 players. The potential Bundesliga TOTS is completed with stars from Werder Bremen, Borussia Dortmund, VfB Stuttgart, VfL Bochum, and RB Leipzig, with one player from each club.
Bundesliga TOTS: 10 Honorable Mentions
Similarly to the TOTY Honorable Mentions, we have compiled a few players who narrowly missed out on our starting eleven but still have ambitions for a TOTS:
- GK: Oliver Baumann – TSG Hoffenheim (avg. Sofascore rating: 7.34)
- RB: Jeremie Frimpong – Bayer Leverkusen (avg. Sofascore rating: 7.38)

Two thirds of the season have already been played, so we can imagine that many of the predicted players will ultimately appear in the Bundesliga TOTS.
