Voting Now Open for EA Sports FC 25 Team of the Year: Spend Time Strategizing Before Defaulting to Ronaldo and Messi Up Front

Once again, it’s that exciting period in the gaming calendar—voting for EA Sports FC 25’s Team of the Year is now up and running. This is your chance to spotlight those standout players in both men’s and women’s soccer with skills that have dazzled fans and have players and streamers shelling out big bucks just for the joy—and frustration—of acquiring these highly-coveted cards.

This TOTY season is always a blast, especially with the wave of fresh updates EA rolled out in December. It’s the perfect time for those who stepped away from the game to dive back in. Expect to encounter a renewed influx of fresh-faced competitors ready to challenge you online. Good luck on those epic pack openings!

Jumping into the action is easy. Head over to the EA FC website where you can cast your TOTY votes. You’ll be greeted with two 11-player squad sheets that need filling in with your picks for attackers, midfielders, defenders, and goalkeepers. With names like Erling Haaland, Jude Bellingham, and Aitana Bonmatí in the mix, you’ve got quite the selection.

Before you make your calls, you might want to scan the complete list on the site. Perhaps you’ll need to brush up on Bayer Leverkusen’s match highlights or revisit some jaw-dropping saves by Diogo Costa. Make sure your choices reflect the best of what you’ve witnessed this football season.

In terms of diversity, the shortlist doesn’t disappoint, featuring talent from a broad range of leagues and clubs. However, it might surprise you to see legends like Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi in the lineup. Their inclusion might seem nostalgic since they’re now plying their trade at Al-Nassr and Inter Miami. You’ll need to weigh their performances in the Saudi and US leagues against Europe’s top competitions like the Premier League and Bundesliga.

Regardless, casting your vote offers a fantastic chance to broaden your football horizons. It gives you an overview of stellar performances outside your regular viewing habits throughout the year.

Once the voting wraps up, the final Team of the Year will soon be unveiled, and those TOTY items will start to appear in FC 25 and its mobile counterpart. If you’re returning to FC 25 after a break to dive into TOTY excitement, don’t miss our handy guides. They’ll walk you through top tactical codes, the best formations, and which young players are worth investing in for career mode. Happy gaming!
