THE Final Eleven for FIFA 23’s Team of the Year (TOTY) was revealed last week, and now we know the 12th Man.
Manchester City striker Erling Haaland won a place on the team as the final squad member by popular vote.
Haaland in game.
He beat out fellow Man City teammate João Cancelo, and Real Madrid’s Federico Valverde, to win a spot on the team.
Haaland was the favourite to win from the start, and many believed he deserved a spot in the initial team.
Last year, there were three strikers up for the 12th Man vote, and winner Ronaldo wasn’t even nominated this year.
Haaland has scored 21 goals in 15 appearances since his debut at the club, and has scored a further five goals in just four Champions League matches.
Like all the other TOTY players, Haaland will receive a specially boosted card in FUT packs.
This will give huge boosts to each of his stats, and will be highly valuable on FIFA 23’s in-game transfer market.
FIFA 23 TOTY 12th Man: Erling Haaland full stats
Here is a list of the stats from Erling Haaland’s TOTY card, and the changes from his base card.
- Overall: 96 / Base = 88 (+8)
- Pace: 96 / Base = 89 (+7)
- Shooting: 96 / Base = 91 (+5)
- Passing: 80 / Base = 65 (+15)
- Dribbling: 88 / Base = 80 (+8)
- Defending: 68 / Base = 49 (+19)
- Physicality: 94 / Base = 87 (+7)
Haaland’s card will be available in FIFA Ultimate Team packs immediately, alongside all of the other members of the TOTY squad.
The highest-rated TOTY card this year is Lionel Messi, following his spectacular win at the World Cup.
João Cancelo and Federico Valverde will still appear as boosted cards in FUT packs under Honourable Mentions.
While they won’t have such a high boost, they are still worth looking out for.
