In EA FC 25 you can vote for the 12th Team of the Year (TOTY). However, the voting process is different from the regular TOTY voting. On MeinMMO, you will learn how to vote for the 12th man and which players are among the candidates.
What is the 12th man in the TOTY? The vote for the 12th man grants one additional player from the candidates of the men’s and women’s TOTY a spot in the Team of the Year in FC 25. You can choose between 3 candidates for the 12th man or the 12th woman.
Since Monday evening (January 20), you can vote for the 12th man.
How can you vote for the 12th man in the TOTY? To participate in the vote for the 12th man in the TOTY, you must log in to Ultimate Team. When you select the shop from the menu, you will have two player selections with 3 loan items each (3 men and 3 women) for one game available.
The loan items represent the candidates in the voting for the 12th man/12th woman. The player you choose will receive your vote for the election.
TOTY 12th Man: All Candidates at a Glance
3 candidates for the 12th man in the men’s TOTY:
- Florian Wirtz (Bayer Leverkusen)
- Cristiano Ronaldo (Al-Nassr)
- Jeremie Frimpong (Bayer Leverkusen)
3 candidates for the 12th woman in the women’s TOTY:
- Giulia Gwinn (FC Bayern)
- Lindsey Horan (Olympique Lyon)
- Khadija Shaw (Manchester City)
We cannot explain exactly what criteria were used to select the 3 candidates. One possible explanation could be that they are the players with the most votes in the regular TOTY voting who did not get a place in the TOTY due to their even better competitors.
At this point, the original TOTY voting continues with all candidates.
