Voting for this year’s Ultimate Team Teams of the Year kicked off last week. Hopefully, you managed to cast your votes in time. If the players you backed made it to the final squads, it’s a great excuse to dive back into FC 25 and explore their performances in-game.

The rollout of these coveted cards begins on January 17, with the attackers making their way into the game first. Expect the midfielders to follow on January 19, and then the defenders and goalkeepers on January 21. The full TOTY rosters will be integrated into the Ultimate Team pool from January 23 to January 31, with a 12th man and woman joining on January 24 to balance things out.
