FIFA 23 Team of the Year: TOTY start date & player predictions

FIFA 23 Team of the Year is here, arguably the biggest event on the Ultimate Team calendar. Here’s when FIFA 23 TOTY is set to start, as well as our predictions on who will earn a spot in the prestigious squad.

Every Ultimate Team season is packed full of promos and special events to keep players hooked, and FIFA 23 has been no exception. Almost every week has brought a new selection of cards into packs, from Ones to Watch at the start of the year to the many World Cup promos.

While FUT fans have had no shortage of content to enjoy, no other event on the calendar holds a candle to Team of the Year. Every 12 months, the community is asked to vote for the very best 11 players of the year, with the winners receiving a ridiculously juiced card.

With 2023 underway, the countdown to Team of the Year is well and truly on. Here are our FIFA 23 TOTY predictions, as well as when the final squad is expected to arrive.
