FIFA 22: when is the TOTY coming? All information about the event

In FIFA 22, Team of the Year is coming up. We’ll show you what the FIFA 22 TOTY could bring this year.

What is TOTY? The best players of the year end up in the “Team of the Year”, which is published with extremely improved cards in Ultimate Team. The TOTY is chosen by the fans – players decide which cards should ultimately be represented in the TOTY.

When does the TOTY start? There is no officially confirmed date yet, but everything speaks for the start of the TOTY event on Friday, January 21, 2022.

A voting phase last ran, which ended on January 18, 2022. For example, a countdown has now started on the FIFA 22 Instagram channel, announcing the presentation of the Team of the Year for Thursday, January 20 at 4:30 p.m.

So the TOTY will be presented on Thursday afternoon. As a rule, the actual events in FIFA 22 always start on Fridays. It can therefore be assumed that the TOTY event will start one day after the presentation – on Friday, January 21st.

What brings the Team of the Year in FIFA 22?

Was steckt im Team-of-the-Year-Event? Probably the most important element of the event is the TOTY-Elf. A starting eleven could be chosen from the nominees, which will receive extremely strong cards. Values ​​far above 90 are the rule here, the TOTY cards are among the best in the game.

There was a wide range of players to choose from and vote for by position. You can find the nominees here:

In the past, TOTY players were released in stages over several days. It is quite conceivable that this will also be the case this year.

These players usually just end up in the FIFA 22 packs, which also leads to criticism. Because: The cards are not only very rare and difficult to get, but also damn expensive on the transfer market.

You could also see that with streamers who opened an extremely large number of packs to ultimately hardly get any TOTY cards. Getting a TOTY card for the release is therefore an impossibility for many players.

What else could come? A look into the past shows that the TOTY event can also contain other content in addition to the starting eleven. The form in which this will take place this year is, however, speculative. However, many FIFA events are often based on their role models from previous years.

• In FIFA 21, for example, there was the “12. Man” that players could vote on as well. So Lionel Messi, who was missing from the TOTY for the first time, also got a brutally strong card.
• There were also “Honourable Mentions” for some players who didn’t quite make it into the TOTY. They also got an upgrade, but not quite as strong.
• In addition, there are usually special SBCs and weekly tasks for the TOTY.

The coming days will show exactly what the event looks like. By the way, the new season is currently running in FIFA Mobile. If you want to play FIFA on your mobile phone, here is an overview of whether downloading FIFA Mobile is worthwhile for you.
