What is TOTY?

TOTY is an annual event in EA SPORTS FC (formerly FIFA) that honors the top-performing players from the previous year. Fans get to vote for their favourite players, and those with the highest votes receive exclusive, highly rated TOTY cards.

These special cards are available for a limited time and are highly sought after, offering huge stat boosts. They can be obtained through pack openings, Squad Building Challenges (SBCs), or through the transfer market.

Why TOTY is so Important

TOTY cards boast massive stat boosts, and they often define the highest-rated players in the game until the Team of the Season (TOTS) event later in the year. These cards are perfect for elevating your team and making your squad unstoppable.

The market also undergoes significant changes during TOTY, with prices fluctuating as players buy packs, and smart traders take advantage of these movements.

Getting Prepared for EA FC 25 TOTY

Being prepared is key. A strong coin balance is essential, and you can easily top up your gaming wallet with digital gift cards for PlayStation, Xbox, Steam, or directly buy an EA FC25 points gift card.

Here are a few strategies to make the most of TOTY:

• Build Your Coin Balance: Sell unused high-value players before the market dips.
• Trading: Look for cards with good investment potential, such as 84-86 rated players, and stock up when prices are low.
• Save Your Packs: Keep Division Rivals and FUT Champions packs for the full TOTY reveal.
• Market Monitoring: Keep an eye on market movements, especially during the TOTY release.

TOTY SBCs and Objectives
EA releases several SBCs and objectives during TOTY, including:

• Player SBCs: Featuring past TOTY winners or honorable mentions.
• Upgrade SBCs: Improve your chances of pulling TOTY cards.
• Objectives: These offer great rewards for completing challenges themed around TOTY.

Long-Term Impact

TOTY cards remain valuable for much of the year. They’re often needed for SBCs and stay relevant until the TOTS event in the spring.

TOTY is a key moment in the Ultimate Team calendar. Prepare wisely and make the most of the excitement!
