Here continues with the original article.
When does the TOTY come to FIFA 21? The “Team of the Year” will be released tonight, January 22, 2021, at 7 PM in FIFA 21. A loading screen within Ultimate Team indicates this:

At this time, the event will start. The TOTY is among the most anticipated promos in FIFA every year, as it brings extremely boosted cards for 11 players who have managed to make it through in the TOTY voting.
What to expect in the TOTY of FIFA 21
Which players are included? Which players are officially included is still unknown. The final TOTY eleven will likely be announced at the event start at 7:00 PM. Should any cards be announced beforehand, we will keep you updated here.
It is certain that the TOTY eleven will consist of a selection of nominees that players were allowed to vote on recently. So it must be 11 of the following players who were originally available for voting:
TOTY leak about Kevin de Bruyne: The club Manchester City announced that Kevin de Bruyne has supposedly made it into the TOTY again. The club shared this post on Twitter – so de Bruyne is expected to be included:
Predictions for the Team of the Year: While the official members are not yet known, there are already plenty of TOTY predictions in the community for which players could be included. There are some favorites that could be in the TOTY tonight. Among the closer favorites are players like:
- Attack: C. Ronaldo, Lewandowski, Messi, Mbappé, Neymar
- Midfield: De Bruyne, Kimmich, Bruno Fernandes, Thiago
- Defense: Alexander-Arnold, Ramos, Van Dijk, Davies
- Goal: Neuer, Alisson
Which players have actually made it by the end, the TOTY release will show.
How to get TOTY cards? The Team of the Year is expected to appear first only in packs. It is still unclear whether the entire eleven will be available directly, or if it will be released in stages over several days. In the past, it happened that attackers were available for a few days first, then midfield and defense in packs, before all players were available at a later time.
The TOTY cards will also land on the transfer market, but they will be extremely expensive. Here you will need plenty of coins to secure a TOTY member.
It is clear: The chances of getting a TOTY from packs are extremely low. The probability of pulling strong cards from packs is already poor, and for a TOTY you need even more luck. This has also been shown in the last years in FIFA.
What else does the event bring? It is to be expected that there will also be special SBCs and tasks with which you can secure special rewards during the TOTY event. How this will look is yet to be revealed at the event start.
