Finaly, the FIFA 22 Team of the Year (TOTY) has been announced. The biggest promotional event in the EA Sports FIFA gaming calendar will begin on Friday at 1 p. m. ET and will run through Sunday. What you need to know is as follows:
What exactly is FIFA TOTY?
TOTY is an annual event in FIFA's Ultimate Team (FUT) mode that honors the best players from the previous 12 months of the game's existence. Eleven players are selected by fan vote and released in digital packs containing player and consumable items that are available for purchase with FIFA 22 Coins over the course of eight days. During the course of the game cycle, these players will have improved stats, putting them among the highest rated and most sought-after players in the game until the end. A vote for the 12th man in the TOTY squad is also taking place, with users able to vote for their favorite player to be left out of the final XI.
In addition, during the Team of the Year event, TOTY Moments and Flashback players commemorating specific achievements and moments in individual careers will be released through Squad Building Challenges (SBCs), which will allow players to submit unique squads of players based on different challenge requirements in exchange for these special items. TOTY Moments and Flashback players are players who have achieved specific achievements and moments in their individual careers.
Who has been nominated for the TOTY award in 2021?
Eighty players have qualified to represent Brazil in the 2021 FIFA World Cup, including superstars such as Neymar, Lionel Messi, and Cristiano Ronaldo as well as Robert Lewandowski, Kevin De Bruyne, and Sergio Ramos. It is possible to view the entire list of nominees here, and the final roster will be revealed on Friday.
What exactly takes place during TOTY?
TOTY is the most important promotional event for FIFA 22. There will be eight days of flash SBCs, special player cards, lucrative objectives, and other exciting things. For example, during the TOTY period in FIFA 20, no fewer than five Flashback or Player Moments items available through Squad Building Challenges were dropped: Player Moments Eden Hazard, Flashback Marcelo, Player Moments Bernardo Silva, Flashback David Luiz, and Flashback Manuel Neuer were all dropped during the TOTY period. Players' Moments Hakim Ziyech and Flashback Andres Iniesta were also made available through playable objectives, which could be unlocked by FUT 22 Coins.
What does this mean for gamers, specifically?
Whether you're a die-hard FUT fanatic or just a casual player, the FIFA 22 TOTY event is the ideal time to put together your dream team. Because of the large number of packs that are opened during this period, as well as the large number of high-rated players that are available across all leagues, prices on the in-game market plummet dramatically. In the traditional sense, upgrade SBCs are abundant, providing users with the opportunity to craft higher-rated players by inserting low-value items into repeatable SBCs. It's now or never if you're looking to add an icon to your squad, finally slot Kylian Mbappe into your starting lineup, or simply want to put together a competitive squad without going broke.
