Team of the Season, one of the three major promotions held every year, is finally here. The latest trailer for FUT 25 showcases outstanding players from the world’s top football leagues during the previous season.

After a long voting process, 33 cards will be selected for Ultimate TOTS. These cards are expected to be released on Friday, June 6th.

What Is Team of The Season?

Team of the Season is one of the three major promotions held every year in EA Sports FC series, which aims to select the best players in the previous season and give them a boost.

The voting method this time differs from FC 24. This time, the voting is divided into different leagues. 11 players will be voted by fans in each league. The winning players will be added to the game as TOTS cards.

TOTS cards have a unique light blue and gold design, and the player’s various statistics and overall ratings will receive amazing improvements. Most of them will become one of the most powerful players in FC 25.

As the promotion progresses, EA Sports usually holds an additional Ultimate TOTS voting event, which brings together the best performing players from all leagues into an elite lineup, Ultimate TOTS.

This final lineup will be released at the end of TOTS event, which is expected to be on June 6. Players can unlock the players in it for a limited time, which also marks the end of voting for each league.

All TOTS cards can be drawn through gift packs after they are released, giving lucky players the opportunity to add high-value new members to their team. However, you need to prepare enough FUT 25 Coins.

Ultimate Team Of The Season Prediction

Defenders

• Alisson (95 Overall Rating): Goalkeepers, Brazil, Liverpool
• Trent Alexander-Arnold (95 Overall Rating): Right Back, England, Liverpool
• Virgil van Dijk (97 Overall Rating): Center Back, Netherlands, Liverpool
• Theo Hernandez (95 Overall Rating): Left Back, France, AC Milan

Liverpool’s defensive strength is unquestionable. After Arne Slot took over the team left by the previous coach, he relied on careful rotation and tactics, as well as improving the versatility of the players to make up for the lack of depth in some positions. Under his guidance, the players once again played lively and posed an enormous threat to Manchester City and Arsenal.

Liverpool’s three players on the defensive line are the best in the team. Alisson missed a few games because of injury, otherwise his rating might be higher. Trent Alexander-Arnold and Virgil van Dijk are out of a contract in the summer of 2025, but they have shown great professionalism.

Theo Hernandez is the only AC Milan player of the four players, but he is considered a Meta player and will almost certainly play in Ultimate TOTS.

Midfielders

• Jude Bellingham (96 Overall Rating): CM, England, Real Madrid
• Florian Wirtz (96 Overall Rating): CM, Germany, Leverkusen
• Pedri (95 Overall Rating): CAM, Spain, Barcelona

This season’s midfielders are technically proficient, but not defensively. Florian Wirtz, Pedri and Jude Bellingham have all shown amazing skills in dribbling, passing and dribbling past opponents.

Jude Bellingham didn’t show his best form last season, but he still contributed 15 goals.

Attackers

• Mohamed Salah (98 Overall Rating): RW, Egypt, Liverpool
• Harry Kane (98 Overall Rating): ST, England, Bayern Munich
• Kylian Mbappé (97 Overall Rating): ST, France, Real Madrid
• Vinicius Junior (97 Overall Rating): LW, Brazil, Real Madrid

It is difficult to pick the best attackers, as there were many very good forwards in the last season. The above four players are all strong contenders for this year’s Ballon d’Or, so they all have the potential to score high in TOTS. Each player’s value may be above one million coins.

Substitutes

1. Jan Oblak (95 Overall Rating): GK, Slovenia, Atletico Madrid
2. William Saliba (95 Overall Rating): CB, France, Arsenal
3. Gabriel (95 Overall Rating): CB, Brazil, Arsenal
4. Antonio Rudiger (94 Overall Rating): CB, Germany, Real Madrid
5. Lucy Bronze (94 Overall Rating): RB, England, Chelsea
6. Katie McCabe (94 Overall Rating): LB, Ireland, Arsenal
7. Aitana Bonmati (97 Overall Rating): CM, Spain, Barcelona
8. Alexia Putellas (97 Overall Rating): CM, Spain, Barcelona
9. Nicolo Barella (94 Overall Rating): CM, Italy, Inter Milan
10. Alexis Mac Allister (95 Overall Rating): CM, Argentina, Liverpool
11. Cole Palmer (96 Overall Rating): CAM, England, Chelsea
12. Jamal Musiala (96 Overall Rating): CAM, Germany, Bayern Munich
13. Khvicha Kvaratskhelia (95 Overall Rating): LW, Georgia, Paris Saint-Germain
14. Rafael Leao (98 Overall Rating): LW, Portugal, AC Milan
15. Lionel Messi (95 Overall Rating): RW, Argentina, Inter Miami
16. Caroline Graham Hansen (96 Overall Rating): RW, Norway, Barcelona
17. Lamine Yamal (97 Overall Rating): RW, Spain, Barcelona
18. Ousmane Dembele (96 Overall Rating): RW, France, Paris Saint-Germain
19. Cristiano Ronaldo (97 Overall Rating): ST, Portugal, Nasr
20. Robert Lewandowski (95 Overall Rating): ST, Poland, Barcelona
21. Lautaro Martinez (96 Overall Rating): ST, Argentina, Inter Milan
22. Erling Haaland (97 Overall Rating): ST, Norway, Manchester City

Ultimate Team of the Season has 33 players. Besides the 11 players mentioned above, there are 22 players. The above list is the remaining 22 players.

There are too many strong and outstanding players, so this list will not be too accurate, but they all have a high probability of being on the list. If there is a player you support, go to the voting website to cast your precious vote and keep your coins for him or her.

EA FC 25 is currently having a Winter Wildcard activity, where every card in this activity is getting a certain amount of progress. It’s not easy to keep your team’s power up all the time, because you have to invest some FC 25 coins to build your team all the time. For coin savers, this may be a difficult situation, as many players don’t have enough reserves to get all the players they want. So players need to find some of the best options in these promotional cards.

Here are some of the players who performed well in this Winter Wildcard:

Xavi - Icon

• 85 pace
• 82 shooting
• 93 passing
• 91 dribbling
• 75 defending
• 75 physical
• four-star skill moves
• four-star weak foot

Because Xavi offers a 25-game loan version via objectives, he has performed well in this Winter Wildcard activity. There are still many players who can compare with him, but few can compete with this midfielder who has two top Playstyles.

His advantage is that he has excellent passing and dribbling skills. If you want to play a fast passing game, Xavi is an elusive dribbler who can find countless opportunities to pass the ball in the midfield, and few players can do this as easily as Xavi.

Erling Haaland - Manchester City

• 90 pace
• 78 shooting
• 80 passing
• 75 dribbling
• 88 defending
• 94 physical
• four-star skill moves
• four-star weak foot

Erling Haaland is one of the best Premier League players in Ultimate Team, and this complements his winter Wildcard options. This gives Erling Haaland two promotional cards with different playing styles and different positions, both of which are very powerful. The recommendation here is Erling Haaland as a center back, because in the long run, a player who is good at defending allows more possibilities for the team composition.

Frenkie De Jong - FC Barcelona

• 88 pace
• 80 shooting
• 99 passing
• 91 dribbling
• 83 defending
• 85 physical
• four-star skill moves
• four-star weak foot

This is a promo card that is well worth the investment of your FC 25 coins. As a midfielder, Frenkie De Jong’s 99 pass will be a great addition to your team for the foreseeable future. When you are in charge of a Barcelona or La Liga team, Frenkie De Jong will be even more capable.

Caroline Graham Hansen - FC Barcelona

• 92 pace
• 91 shooting
• 91 passing
• 93 dribbling
• 52 defending
• 82 physical
• five-star skill moves
• five-star weak foot

Caroline Graham Hansen is undoubtedly an offensive player. She has all the skills to attack, and she also has five-star skill moves, which can definitely make a good performance. However, you need Icon chemistry or fellow Barcelona teammates, otherwise her position in your team may be a bit awkward. But her ability is worth adjusting the lineup for her, letting her play as RW or RM, she will show her irreplaceable role.

Carlos Alberto - Icon

• 92 pace
• 66 shooting
• 85 passing
• 87 dribbling
• 89 defending
• 86 physical
• three-star skill moves
• four-star weak foot

Carlos Alberto’s performance is not good, but he still has two versions. Carlos Alberto has a versatile playstyle and an impressive combination of attributes, which makes his two versions of the card fit into most teams. Of course, CDM version has long passes and anticipation bonuses, which makes him more flexible and therefore better.

Vini Jr. - Real Madrid

• 98 pace
• 87 shooting
• 84 passing
• 94 dribbling
• 34 defending
• 74 physical
• five-star skill moves
• four-star weak foot

One of the best La Liga players, both Winter Wildcard activity versions of Vini Jr. are great choices. Choose between Finesse Shot Plus and Trivela Plus for ST card.

Vini Jr. is definitely the ultimate in attacking ability, and he’s the fastest, most aggressive scorer you’ll get in the game. Because both versions are actually pretty good, if you get both versions with FUT coins, there’s nothing you can’t do in EA Sports FC 25.

Ronaldo Nazario - Icon

• 95 pace
• 95 shooting
• 80 passing
• 95 dribbling
• 44 defending
• 76 physical
• five-star skill moves
• five-star weak foot

Ronaldo Nazario is the dominant icon in FC 25. Many people save coins just to wait for a super player. Then Ronaldo Nazario is the one they are waiting for, even if it takes 15,000,000 coins to unlock him. Both versions of Ronaldo Nazario are great, but the 95-rated version is undoubtedly the only choice.

Trickster and Quick Step Plus may not be a very important Playstyle, but Ronaldo Nazario can bring huge changes to the game just by standing on the court. However, this card is too difficult to obtain. He may be the first choice of players, but not the best choice. For players, they still have to choose players according to their own coin reserves.

Many excellent players have been upgraded in the winter Wildcard promotion. Many players who want to improve the strength of their team should not miss this activity. Especially for players who like to use Icon and Barcelona players, Caroline Graham Hansen and Frenkie De Jong can bring new changes to your team, so don’t hesitate.

Squad Building Challenges (SBCs) offer great rewards to Ultimate Team players, such as valuable player packs, special player items, and more. Players can earn these exciting rewards by completing these mini-challenges.

New SBC Challenges are now available, and you can unlock legendary players such as Ronaldo, Pele, Kaka, Roberto Carlos, and more by completing these challenges (including the 87+ Base/Centurions Icon SBC).

87+ Base/Centurions Icon SBC

At the end of each year, the developers release Icon SBCs. To complete this SBC, you need to submit three complete teams with a total value of approximately 155.65K FUT coins. The minimum total score of the three teams is 85 points, 86 points, and 87 points. The first team must have at least one player from Team of the Week Players.

Each completed challenge will earn you a pack that you can open before completing the next challenge. To be sure, you can use concept players to complete the challenge first. If you succeed, submit your squad. The concept players you get from the transfer market can become real players in your need.

This challenge can be completed repeatedly, but you only have two chances to test your luck. Each time will consume a lot of your SBC materials. So it’s best to prepare some FC 25 Coins.
