    Summing up

The FIFA Team Of The Year (TOTY) Promo is one of the most significant events in the entirety of FIFA games. With the FIFA 23 TOTY right around the corner this year, expectations are supremely high. Part of this expectation stems from the fact that the FIFA World Cup was also held just a few months ago in Qatar. Moreover, with various World Cup Promos in FIFA 23, the game’s power curve and the market are slightly ahead of its predecessor at this time. Considering all these factors, the FIFA 23 TOTY promo will definitely be one of the biggest yet from EA Sports!

Bear in mind that this will also be the last EA Sports game to carry the FIFA title. Since FIFA has decided to split from EA Sports, the latter is bound to make this year’s TOTY worth remembering. So, if you play FIFA 23 Ultimate Team and are excited about TOTY, this is the right place to be. We’ll cover everything about the Promo, from the nominees to how you can pack these amazing cards in the game!

FIFA 23 TOTY Players Leaked

Since the voting for FIFA 23 TOTY ended on January 17, 2023, the final votes have been tallied. EA is set to announce the official FIFA 23 TOTY on January 19, 2023. However, as is the case with this year’s FIFA, reputed FUT 23 leaker FUT Sheriff has leaked the players ahead of the official reveal. According to the account’s tweet, the FIFA 23 TOTY is as follows:

  • Thibaut Courtois – Real Madrid – Goalkeeper
  • Virgil Van Dijk – Liverpool – Defender
  • Theo Hernandez – AC Milan – Defender
  • Achraf Hakimi – PSG – Defender
  • Eder Militao – Real Madrid – Defender
  • Jude Bellingham – Borussia Dortmund – Midfielder
  • Luka Modric – Real Madrid – Midfielder
  • Kevin De Bruyne – Manchester City – Midfielder
  • Lionel Messi – PSG – Attacker
  • Kylian Mbappe – PSG – Attacker
  • Karim Benzema – Real Madrid – Attacker

It’s no surprise to see the likes of Lionel Messi, Kylian Mbappe, Eder Militao and Luka Modric in the FIFA 23 TOTY. However, fan selection can often be controversial, and Twitter users had their fair share to say after the inclusion of Jude Bellingham and Virgil Van Dijk into the mix. Nonetheless, the voting has concluded and these players will be in packs on Friday, January 20, 2023. You can expect these cards to be highly rare, exorbitantly priced, and have massive stat boosts. EA might even add Skill Moves or Weak Foot upgrades to the card. After all, who wouldn’t want to use a Lionel Messi TOTY card with 5 Star Skill Moves?

TOTY Icons Leaked

EA Sports will also add TOTY Icons to the FIFA 23 TOTY Promo. This is a completely new version of Icon cards that weren’t seen before in the game. FIFA Ultimate Team players are also aware of the fact that Icon cards, especially their Prime versions, are highly overpowered in the game. With TOTY Icons, these specific cards will receive further boosts to their stats to make them almost unbeatable in the game!

Only a few players have been leaked so far. However, it’s only a matter of time before new cards are added to the mix. For example, Ruud Gullit will be added to the TOTY Icon list as well. Check out the tweet below:

Other leaks are suggesting that Ronaldinho may also be added to the list of TOTY Icons. Regardless, these cards will be extremely rare in the game. One way of ensuring more player engagement and chances for people to obtain the cards is to introduce TOTY Swap Tokens. When such cards were available during the World Cup Promo, the Swap Tokens helped thousands of players obtain their dream cards. While EA hasn’t mentioned any additions of Swap Tokens for the FIFA 23 TOTY Promo, anything could happen when January 20 rolls around!

FIFA 23 TOTY Card Design

Whenever TOTY rolls around in FIFA Ultimate Team, players are also hyped regarding the card design. In fact, the FIFA 23 TOTY card design is one of the most beautiful card designs in the game. With the combination of the blue body and the gold accents, the card design for this year’s TOTY is truly beautiful. Take a look at the leaked card design below:

This card design is one of the best we’ve seen throughout the 2022/2023 season in FIFA Ultimate Team. We can only guess at how magnificent and majestic the player items will be when they release on January 20, 2023!

FIFA 23 TOTY Icons and Alternate Reality Icons

https://twitter.com/DonkTrading/status/1612520831279587328?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1612520831279587328%7Ctwgr%5Eb84e3dcee76d9480efac608bba9a988e3e5fc439%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fearlygame.com%2Ffifa-23%2Ffifa-23-toty-icons-and-alternate-reality-icons

EA Sports had already stated that the Prime Icon Moments cards that were featured in FIFA 22 will not make a return to FIFA 23. Instead, new Icon card types will be released. EA has kept true to its promise. The FIFA 23 TOTY Promo will see two new Icon cards added to the game. These are FIFA 23 TOTY Icons and Alternate Reality Icons.

FIFA 23 TOTY Icons

Since this will be a new card type in FIFA 23, speculation is rife about what FIFA 23 TOTY Icons mean. Our guess is that these cards are meant for in-game Icons that have received a TOTY item in past FIFA games. For example, Xavi Hernandez and Carles Puyol received TOTY cards during their playing years. Moreover, they are current Icons in the game. Considering this, players such as these might receive TOTY versions of their Icon cards. These cards could have higher stats than their Prime versions!

Alternate Reality Icons

Another card type added to the FIFA 23 code is Alternate Reality Icons. While there’s very little detail available on them at the moment, we can make an educated guess on what they could be. These card versions might be similar to FIFA 22’s Shapeshifter Promo. The Promo featured various players with boosted stats in positions that we don’t normally see them play in. For example, Ronald Koeman’s Icon cards are mostly played in the CB position. However, Koeman was also known for his attacking instincts during his playing days. So, we could see a CAM or ST version of a Ronald Koeman card. Bear in mind that this is just speculation for the time being. We’ll update this space when more information regarding these cards comes to light!

Tips For FIFA 23 TOTY Promo

If you’re reading this, it’s already evident that you’re someone who enjoys playing FIFA 23 Ultimate Team. Of course, you’d love to have one of these magnificent cards in your first owner team. However, players are also aware of the fact that cards of this level are notoriously difficult to pack, thanks to their rarity. All is not lost, however. There are ways in which you can ensure a higher chance of packing these cards. Bear in mind that these tips might increase your chances of upgrading your team during the TOTY promo. However, according to EA, pack luck is dynamically generated from the pool of available players. So, this won’t guarantee you decent pack luck. Nonetheless, these tips might help in the long run. Now, let’s check out the tips!

Saving Packs

Saving packs you get in other promos to pack a new promo player isn’t a unique aspect of FIFA 23 Ultimate Team. Millions of players have been following this practice since the earlier FIFA games. However, this takes a special mention during a massive promo such as the FIFA 23 TOTY. Although EA has denied that saved packs will give players from a new promo, plenty of players swear by this method. In case you want to give this a go, you can save a few packs until TOTY comes around and try your luck!

Go liquid

In finance, going liquid means having the cash to splurge on assets. If you’re not someone who has a lot of coins in FIFA 23 Ultimate Team, it’s a good time for you to go liquid by selling your tradeable cards. Moreover, if you’ve got any big-name players whose market value is still significant, it would be the best time to sell those players. The FIFA 23 Transfer Market is bound to crash with players panic selling their older cards. FIFA 23 TOTY cards will definitely be worth a substantial amount in the Transfer Market. So, sell your unused players and save the coins until TOTY cards roll around.

Additionally, since the market will crash with the influx of new player items during TOTY, you’ll be able to try cards from other promos and buy them for cheap. Cards such as the Lionel Messi World Cup Team of the Tournament are quite expensive. With this market crash, their value will decrease by a significant amount.

Complete SBCs

FIFA 23 SBC

SBCs for players and packs are valuable methods to gain some incredible players for your team. Whether you’re completing an SBC for a big player or just to get a pack, TOTY will feature some excellent SBCs worth completing. Moreover, SBCs such as the 81+ Double Upgrade or the 80+ Player Pack don’t cost a lot of coins and can be completed easily. They can also be invaluable when you’re trying to save packs for the upcoming TOTY promo. So, complete these SBCs as many times as possible. However, don’t spend too many coins on them. Save your coins and utilise the unused player items in your club as fodder instead.
