Ultimate TOTS Squad Breakdown
The pinnacle of FIFA 21’s Team of the Season has arrived with the Ultimate TOTS selection, featuring enhanced versions of the game’s most elite performers. This final squad represents the absolute best from across all major leagues, with significantly boosted attributes that make these cards some of the most powerful in Ultimate Team history.
The Ultimate TOTS serves as the grand finale to months of Team of the Season releases, combining the top performers from previous league-specific TOTS squads into one extraordinary collection.What makes this year’s edition particularly noteworthy is the balanced distribution across positions, with EA SPORTS addressing previous complaints about forward-heavy selections.
- Lionel Messi (FC Barcelona) – 98 Rated
- Cristiano Ronaldo (Juventus) – 97 Rated
- Robert Lewandowski (Bayern Munich) – 97 Rated
- Kylian Mbappé (Paris Saint-Germain) – 96 Rated
- Kevin De Bruyne (Manchester City) – 96 Rated
For collectors, several cards stand out as particularly valuable. The 98-rated Messi card boasts 99 dribbling and 95 shooting, while De Bruyne’s all-round midfield dominance makes him a must-have for competitive play. Surprisingly, defenders like Ruben Dias (94 rated) and Theo Hernandez (93 rated) received significant upgrades that make them viable against the game’s top attackers.
TOTS Release Insights
The Ultimate TOTS squad became available on June 4 at 6pm BST as anticipated, though with fewer leaks than previous releases. Unlike earlier Team of the Season reveals, EA SPORTS managed tighter security this time, with only minimal information surfacing through usual channels like @FUTMentor.
Strategic pack opening is crucial during this limited one-week availability window. Here’s what experienced players recommend:
- Focus on premium gold packs or rare player packs for best value
- Complete available SBCs that offer guaranteed TOTS players
- Time your pack openings during peak hours when more cards enter the market
- Monitor the transfer market for price drops on secondary players

Player Performance Analysis
Beyond the obvious star power, several Ultimate TOTS players offer exceptional value for specific playstyles. Bruno Fernandes’ 95-rated card features perfect long shot and vision stats, making him ideal for players who utilize through balls. Meanwhile, Joshua Kimmich’s 94-rated defensive midfielder version combines 90+ ratings in defense, passing, and physicality.
Common mistakes to avoid when building your Ultimate TOTS squad:
- Overpaying for attackers when midfielders often provide better value
- Ignoring chemistry styles that can maximize player potential
- Failing to compare in-game stats rather than just overall ratings
- Missing opportunities to sell duplicate pulls immediately
EA SPORTS
Advanced players recommend pairing Kimmich with a physical CDM for optimal midfield balance.
