FIFA 23 is getting ready to announce the 11 members that will make up its Team of the Year.
Voting has now closed, but the players have yet to be released.
Messi seems guaranteed to get a spot in TOTY.
The final vote for the twelfth man will start soon, so there is plenty to look forward to.
Here’s the full release schedule for FIFA 23’s Team of the Year.
FIFA 23 Team of the Year reveal date
EA Sports is currently tallying up the votes, and making changes to the team’s final formation.
Voting has now closed, and all of the highest scoring players have been locked in. However, some will miss out on the more popular positions.
EA will announce the winners that make up the Team of the Year on January 19, 2023, at 8am PT / 11am ET / 6pm GMT / 5pm CET.
Cards will be slowly released in FUT packs after this date, and the twelfth man and honourable mentions will come after this.
FIFA 23 Team of the Year cards: Attackers
The cards will be released in FIFA Ultimate Team (FUT) packs in stages, with only a few days available to grab each group of players.
Attackers will be the first set released including the top forwards released first, and they will be available for two days.
The FIFA 23 TOTY attackers will be released on January 20, 2023, at 10am PT / 1pm ET / 6pm GMT / 7pm CET.
FIFA 23 Team of the Year cards: Midfielders
The midfielders are the next cards to be released and will replace the attackers in FUT packs.
We don’t know the final squad formation yet, so we don’t know the number of players from each category that will be released.
However, voting was set out in a 4-3-3 formation, but it could be changed based on players’ popularity.
The midfielders will be released on January 22, 2023, at 10am PT / 1pm ET / 6pm GMT / 7pm CET.
FIFA 23 Team of the Year: Defenders and goalkeeper
Like attackers, midfielders will only be available in packs for two days.
After this, the group of defenders and the chosen goalkeeper will appear in FUT packs.
These will be released on January 24, 2023, at 10am PT / 1pm ET / 6pm GMT / 7pm CET.
FIFA 23 Team of the Year: Twelfth Man vote
After all the players are announced, you will get to cast your vote for the player you think deserved a spot and was overlooked.
This is the Twelfth Man vote, and this card – among others – will also be released as part of the promo.
Voting will begin on January 23, 2023, at 8am PT / 11am ET / 6pm GMT / 7pm CET and the polls will stay open for one week.
FIFA 23 Team of the Year: 12th Man & Honourable Mentions
All of the Team of the Year cards will be available together in FUT packs from January 26, 2023, at 10am PT / 1pm ET / 6pm GMT / 7pm CET.
This is your best chance to pull one, as a large number of the promo cards will be available in the pool.
The Twelfth Man and Honourable Mentions will join the full squad in FUT packs one day after their announcement.
Both sets of cards will be available in packs until February 3, 2023.
