In FIFA 19 FUT there is first information about TOTY – the Team of the Year. When the best players in Ultimate Team will be revealed, how the voting works, and which candidates are up for election, you will find out here in overview.
The Team of the Year in FIFA 19: 2019 starts with a big highlight for all FUT fans. Because in mid-January the TOTY will be released – a team consisting of 11 players who have extremely upgraded cards.
The TOTY cards are the best cards in FIFA 19 FUT.
When will the TOTY be released in FUT 19?
Release date of the TOTY: On January 7, 2019, the TOTY phase begins. According to EA Sports, the reveal of the Team of the Year will start on this date.
It is expected that the entire Team of the Year will not be revealed all at once. Instead, EA Sports will release it gradually in sets.
In the TOTY phase of FIFA 18, the forwards were revealed first, the midfielders one day later, and the defenders and the goalkeeper the day after, and placed in sets. Afterwards, the entire TOTY was available for a short time. Presumably, the TOTY release in FIFA 19 will proceed similarly.

How to get TOTY cards in FUT 19
TOTY cards via packs and transfer market: Once the TOTY players are available, you can pull them from the packs for a limited time, provided you have some luck. There will be special pack offers during this period. Afterwards, it will only be possible to acquire TOTY players on the transfer market, where they will fetch high prices.
What you need to know about the TOTY cards:
- Once the TOTY cards are in the packs, the standard cards of the respective players can no longer be pulled from the packs.
- A set must contain rare gold players to have a chance at a TOTY player.
- If you possess a standard card of a TOTY player, nothing will happen to that card. If you want a TOTY player, you must be lucky enough to pull them from sets or purchase them on the transfer market.
- The chances of pulling a TOTY player are exactly the same as the chances of pulling the standard card of the corresponding player at another time.
Market Crash at TOTY
Market Crash is likely: Since TOTY cards will be the most sought-after player cards in FUT 19, numerous players will open packs at this time. The market will be flooded with cards – the prices of many players will fall to the ground.
So if you want to make cheap bargains on the transfer market, the “Team of the Year” phase is an exciting time for it.
However, exact predictions for transfer market fluctuations are impossible.
How can I prepare for the Team of the Year? The best preparation is probably to save up a stock of coins now to be able to open some sets in the TOTY week.
