A: You can have multiple items of the same player in your club. However, you cannot use them in your squad at the same time.

Q: What happens to regular items while TOTY is in packs?
A: TOTY items become available in packs for a full week. During this period, they replace the corresponding regular items. In other words, it is not possible to find a regular card of a TOTY player on that week. 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 week. 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.
