FIFA 19 TOTY

What is the FIFA 19 TOTY Promotion?

Every year since FUT 12, in early January, Electronic Arts build a team of players based on their real performance on the previous year. Before FIFA 18, the players of this TOTY were selected from the voting of FIFPro, the world wide professional footballers association, and announced in the Best FIFA Football Awards Gala. However, since last year things have changed and that selection is now made by the FIFA community and Electronic Arts.

During the FIFA 19 TOTY Promotion, Electronic Arts releases several FUT pack offers, themed cards, kits and squad building challenges. Details on FIFA 19 TOTY offers will be updated below.

FIFA 19 TOTY Cards Rules

How the FIFA 19 TOTY Cards Work

The TOTY cards are assigned to a selection of eleven players. Based on what happened last year, these are the official rules we expect to see this year:

RULE 1
AVAILABILITY
FIFA 19 TOTY cards become available in packs for a full week. During this period, they replace the corresponding regular not coloured cards. In other words, it is not possible to find a regular card of a TOTY player during this week.

1.1. If you own the regular card of a TOTY player, your card will keep unchanged. If you want the new version, you will need to buy the corresponding version in the market or pull it from a pack in that month.
1.2. Your odds of pulling a TOTY card from a pack are exactly the same ones of pulling the day 1 card of that player in another time.

RULE 2
RATINGS AND STATS
During this week, the best players of the year will be released in packs with upgraded ratings as unique items. The ratings and stats of these cards are permanent. They don’t change.

2.1. The TOTY release doesn’t affect Ones to Watch or UCL Live cards.

FIFA 19 TOTY Cards

The squad of FIFA 19 TOTY Players

The TOTY cards are released once a year during the TOTY event.

The Team of The Year will be voted on by a carefully curated list of media, athletes and EA SPORTS FIFA community members. This collective of ballot recipients has been chosen to represent the millions of EA SPORTS FIFA players all over the world. Each team will be selected from a shortlist of 55 players, nominated by EA SPORTS for their real-world performance in the previous season. Custom-built ballot boxes will be delivered to each recipient on January 7, containing all 55 of the nominee player items. Each vote will consist of three attackers, three midfielders, four defenders, and one goalkeeper in a 4-3-3 formation. Each ballot recipient will cast their vote by posting a photo of their team on social media with #TOTYVote by January 11. The ballots submitted by this group will account for 60% of the final vote. The remaining 40% of the votes will be cast by EA SPORTS. The final Team of the Year will be announced starting on January 14, with special TOTY player items available in packs for a limited time in FIFA 19 Ultimate Team and FIFA Mobile.
