In FIFA 19 there are many different special cards. To keep track of the abbreviations of TOTY, TOTS, TOTW, MOTM, or OTW, we list all Special Cards from FUT for you.
Special cards are an integral part of Ultimate Team. By now, there are so many that many FUT newcomers do not know which abbreviation stands for which event card.
In this list we provide you with all special cards from FUT 19. If you want to know when each event occurs, you can check that in our FUT Event Calendar for FIFA 19.
All graphics in the article come from the Card Generator by Futhead.
Team of the Week (TOTW)
Released every week: The “Team of the Week” (TOTW) is the most common special card in the game. Every Wednesday at 4 PM the new TOTW with 23 Informs is announced, from 7 PM it can be obtained in packs for one week.
The best players of the leagues: Every week the players with the best performances from the national leagues are selected. They receive a rating upgrade and a black special card. Position changes are also possible. The first “Team of the Week” was released before the game release.
Team of the Year (TOTY)
Released in early 2019: The best special cards of the FUT season come every year from the “Team of the Year” (TOTY). It is released by position starting in January – from the 7th.
The best players in the world: 11 blue special cards are part of the TOTY. Only the players who delivered the best performances in the calendar year 2018 make it into the team. The rating upgrades are substantial, so many players open a lot of packs during the TOTY period and there is a significant market crash.
Team of the Season (TOTS)
Released at the end of the season: The “Team of the Season” (TOTS) is a slightly toned-down version of the TOTY. It is released in May 2019, when the leagues have stopped playing.
Almost every league has its own TOTS: The major leagues and some smaller ones each receive their own “Team of the Season”. These are also blue special cards. The upgrades are slightly lower than those in the TOTY and are based on performances from the 2018/2019 football season.
Ones to Watch (OTW)
Released before and in the middle of the season: The “Ones to Watch” are available in summer and winter editions. The summer OTWs are released at launch, while the winter OTWs are issued after the winter transfer period.
Dynamic special cards: The “Ones to Watch” cards initially share the same rating as the standard cards. However, if the player receives a special card, such as a TOTW, the values of the OTW card increase accordingly. Only players who changed clubs in the previous transfer period can become a “One to Watch”.
Player of the Month (POTM)
Released every month: The “Player of the Month” is chosen by the community and Premier League experts. Once the vote is cast, there will be an SBC available for a limited time in the following month, where you can obtain the player’s POTM card. Starting from FIFA 19, there is also a POTM from the Bundesliga in addition to the Premier League POTM.
Expensive challenge: Even though the rating is often very high, the SBC is only worth it if you really want the player. This is because the cards you must submit have a high value.
Player of the Year: The “Player of the Year” (POTY) is also available as an SBC in some leagues.
Man of the Match (MOTM)
Released irregularly: The orange “Player of the Day” cards are difficult to predict. They are usually awarded for performances in cup games, as these do not factor into the TOTW nomination. Most MOTM cards are available in packs for 24 hours.
International Man of the Match: Similar to the MOTM, there is also the “International Man of the Match,” referred to as IMOTM. This includes performances from international games.
Team of the Group-Stage (TOTGS)
Released mid-December: The “Team of the Group Stage” is part of the “Team of the Tournaments” (TOTT) and is released at the end of the group stage in December. With the new Champions League license, we could also expect a name change and other innovations.
The best European players: 23 players make it into the TOTGS. This is based on the performances of players from the Europa and Champions League during the group stage. The players receive a blue special card and a slight upgrade compared to their last special card.
Team of the Knockout-Stage (TOTKS)
Released mid-May: Like the TOTGS, the “Team of the Knockout Stage” is also part of the “Team of the Tournaments.” The players are selected similarly to the TOTGS cards, except this time performances in the knockout phase are considered.
FIFA 19 FUT has Champions League cards – the ones that look really good
Hero Cards
Only after special actions: The purple Hero cards can sometimes be found in the TOTW. However, a Hero card is only awarded to players if they have delivered an extremely special performance. This includes, for example, a derby victory almost single-handedly or the decisive goals for World Cup qualification.
Record Breaker
Only for special records: Similar to the Hero card, the Record Breaker cards are only very rare. Only when a player like Cristiano Ronaldo breaks an old record is he rewarded with such a special card, which is then available in packs for one day.
Squad Building Challenges
All SBC cards: All cards that cannot be obtained from packs and are not one of the other special cards like POTM or POTY have a purple design and can be obtained through SBCs. This includes, for example, the league player SBCs.
Ultimate Scream
Released at the end of October: At Halloween, the Scream Team is released. It consists of 23 players who receive a slightly upgraded, spooky special card. Every full moon, the players receive their Scream boost, making them significantly stronger.
FUTmas
Released in December: Also during the Christmas season, new special cards are released. The FUTmas cards can usually only be obtained through Squad Building Challenges during this time. The card design is in the Christmas theme and stands out significantly.
FUT Birthday
Released at the end of March: For the annual birthday of Ultimate Team, EA always comes up with something special. Around March 19, the FUT Birthday Team with 23 players is released.
Favorites of FIFA players: Usually, the players are favorites from previous FIFA editions, who receive a new, very interesting card. There can be rating increases or also position changes. The card design is colorful and adapted to the birthday theme.
Futties
Released in July: At the beginning of July, the last FUT event, the Futties festival, starts. The pink special cards cannot be obtained from packs but through SBCs or tasks.
FIFA favorites without Inform: Futties cards receive a multi-level upgrade. However, only players who did not receive a special card in the FIFA 19 season get a card. Usually, these are community favorites, like Bakyoko in FIFA 18 or Smalling in FIFA 17.
FUT Champions
Released with the Weekend League rewards: In FUT Champions you receive your rewards every Thursday. Among them can also be所谓 “Player Picks,” where you can choose untradeable red Informs. This replaces the monthly rewards from last year.
Pro Player
Only for professionals: If you play against a turquoise special card with a rating of 99, you are playing against a real professional! These cards are only given to football players on their own accounts.
Of course, as with the FUT Event Calendar, it is not confirmed that all special cards will appear this way and new ones may also be added. Nevertheless, it is regarded as likely that these special cards will exist.
