FIFA 22 Team of the Year release date rumours & full squad revealed

But who will be the FIFA 22 TOTY 12th Man?

Published: Friday, 21 January 2022 at 2:33 pm

When will FIFA 22 TOTY players start appearing in FIFA Ultimate Team packs? That's the big question on the fandom's collective mind at the moment, and we're hoping to see those winning players in packs very soon indeed. We're all hoping for the 12th Man vote to kick off soon, as well.

At the time of writing, however, EA Sports has not officially confirmed the date and time at which FIFA 22 TOTY players will start popping up in FUT Packs. We've been checking the EA Sports FIFA official Twitter account, and it's all quiet on that front right now. (You'd be wise to check that feed yourself if you're reading this in the future in search of updates.)

It feels like only yesterday that EA Sports revealed the FIFA 22 TOTY winners, because it was! The lineup was unveiled by David Beckham in the video below.

While we wait for more information, everything we do know at the moment about FIFA 22 TOTY is included below for your perusal.

FIFA 22 TOTY release date

When will FIFA TOTY players start showing up in FUT packs? That's the big question at the moment.

The FIFA 22 TOTY release date is expected to fall on Friday, 21st January 2022, with FIFA 22 players hoping to see TOTW players in FUT packs from that date onwards – at least the first wave of them! After all, Friday is a common day for FUT drops to occur, and EA Sports has been promoting Team of the Year very heavily over the last few days.

That being said, the developers have not officially confirmed that date, even though we'd be very surprised if the TOTY players did not appear in FUT packs starting on 21st January. Once an official date and time is confirmed, we'll let you know.

FIFA 22 TOTY release time

If we had to guess the FIFA 22 TOTY release time, we'd predict that 6pm BST on 21st January is when it all goes down. At that time, we wouldn't be surprised to see the first set of TOTY players showing up in FIFA 22 FUT Packs. However, it's worth stressing again that EA hasn't confirmed it yet.

How to vote for the 12th Man in FIFA 22 TOTY

EA Sports normally hosts a 12th Man vote after the TOTY is revealed, allowing fans to pick one more player to add to the roster, usually from a choice of three players that very nearly made the cut.

EA Sports has not confirmed when the FIFA 22 TOTY 12th Man vote will occur, but fans have been predicting that it could start very soon indeed. When we know more, we'll let you know.

As for how to vote for the 12th Man, this selection process normally takes place within FIFA 22 itself, in the FIFA Ultimate Team mode (of course). Once the 12th Man promo is alive, you should be prompted to pick a player next time you try to open a pack. We'll keep you posted on all that when we learn more.
