FIFA 21 TOTY release date confirmed with expert strategies for card acquisition
TOTY Release Timeline
The highly anticipated FIFA 21 Team of the Year announcement follows the conclusion of fan voting on January 18. EA Sports has officially confirmed Friday, January 22 as the reveal date for this prestigious squad.
Historical patterns suggest the actual in-game release may follow a staggered schedule, with goalkeepers typically arriving first, followed by defenders, midfielders, and attackers over subsequent days.
The voting process saw over 5 million submissions worldwide, with some unexpected nominees making the shortlist. While the community debated inclusions like Joselu and Steve Mandanda, the final TOTY will feature only the most elite performers. EA’s verification process typically takes 72-96 hours after voting closes to ensure accurate results.

Notable Nominations and Predictions
This year’s nomination list sparked debates with unexpected inclusions, particularly Joselu (Alavés), Francesco Caputo (Sassuolo), and veteran goalkeeper Steve Mandanda. While these players had solid seasons, their inclusion over other performers raised eyebrows in the FIFA community.
Based on voting trends and in-game performance data, we predict the following locks for TOTY:
- Robert Lewandowski (99 OVR predicted)
- Kevin De Bruyne (97 OVR predicted)
- Virgil van Dijk (96 OVR predicted)
- Joshua Kimmich (95 OVR predicted)
The full squad will feature 11 starters and 12 substitutes, with left-back being the most competitive position this year.
Pro Strategies for TOTY Cards
Savvy FIFA players should prepare these strategies for TOTY:
Market Timing
Historical data shows player prices drop 30-40% during the first 24 hours of release as pack supply floods the market. Set price alerts for your targets.
SBC Preparation
Stockpile 85+ rated fodder and 50k coins minimum. Last year’s TOTY SBCs required:
- 88-rated squad + TOTW (Attackers)
- 87-rated squad (Midfielders)
- 86-rated squad (Defenders)
Pack Strategy
Wait 6-8 hours after content drop to open packs when server traffic decreases, improving pack weight. Focus on 100k and 125k packs for best value.
