EA Sports FC 24 Team of the Year: Leaked Players, Release Date

EA Sports FC 24's Team of the Year squad has seemingly leaked early.

By Ricky Frech

Developer Electronic Arts is on the cusp of releasing its annual Team of the Year promotion into EA Sports FC 24's Ultimate Team. As always, this promo is partially decided by a fan vote that took place last week and will include most of the best players from around the world getting massive boosts to celebrate their achievements from 2023. Recently, the Team of the Year squad has seemingly leaked, giving EA Sports FC 24 fans an early look at what's coming later this week. And for the first time, it looks like the MLS will have a player make the TOTY team.

EAFC TOTY Leaked Players 

These leaks come from FUT Sheriff, who has built up a solid reputation in the EA Sports FC 24 community over the last two years. Of course, you'll still want to take these leaks with a hefty grain of salt. Sheriff is generally solid but has had a few mishaps over the years. Here are the currently leaked players:

TOTY Men's Players

  • Kylian Mbappe – PSG
  • Erling Haaland – Manchester City
  • Lionel Messi – Inter Miami
  • Kevin De Bruyne – Manchester City
  • Rodri – Manchester City
  • Jude Bellingham – Real Madrid
  • Theo Hernandez – AC Milan
  • Virgil Van Dijk – Liverpool
  • Ruben Dias – Manchester City
  • Jeremie Frimpong – Bayer Leverkusen
  • Alisson – Liverpool

TOTY Women's Players

  • Sam Kerr – Chelsea
  • Sophia Smith – Portland Thorns
  • Caroline Hansen – Barcelona
  • Alexia Putellas – Barcelona
  • Lena Oberdorf – Wolfsburg
  • Aitana Bonmati – Barcelona
  • Sakina Karchaoui – PSG
  • Millie Bright – Chelsea
  • Wendie Renard – Lyon
  • Ona Battle – Barcelona
  • Mary Earps – Manchester United

As you'd expect, the men's team is littered with Manchester City players. They won the Premier League, FA Cup, and Champions League last year. Haaland's season was especially historic as the young striker broke all kinds of scoring records in his first season in English soccer. His 36 goals set the record for most goals scored in a single Premier League season, and he hasn't fallen off a bit during the current season.

As mentioned, Messi becomes the first MLS player to make the team, though this includes the end of his season with PSG in 2023. Speaking of PSG, Mbappe fairly easily makes the list as he continues to dominate in France. Liverpool is the only other club with more than one player in Alisson and Van Dijk. Of the final three players, Bellingham stands out for his excellent acclimation to playing at the highest stage with Real Madrid.

On the women's side, Barcelona leads the way with four players. Unfortunately for EA Sports FC 24 players Fridolina Rolfo isn't among them, so we won't be getting a boosted version of the tricky left-back. That said, most of the Barcelona women have been fan favorites this year, so it's not all bad.

Otherwise, the big names here are like Kerr and Smith. Both have had meta cards at various points this year, so there's no reason to expect they won't enjoy the same thing here. Of course, the rest of the team will also be quality, especially with a player like Karchaoui who should have pace to burn down the left side of the field.

It's worth noting that EA will likely add at least one more player as the "12th Man Vote" and should include several Honorable Mention cards. However, those haven't been leaked yet, so we'll have to wait and see if they're revealed before the promo launches.

EA Sports FC 24 Team of the Year Leaked Start Date

Team of the Year is confirmed to kick off on January 19. However, it's important to remember that EA will almost certainly hold back at least a few to release as Team of the Year progresses. If this is your first year playing EA Sports FC, the TOTY team comes into the game in batches, starting with the goalkeeper and defenders. EA might follow that same format with the Icon players, which means we won't see someone like Ronaldo until the end of the promo. No matter what, TOTY players should start to drop into packs on January 19.

EA Sports FC 24 is available now on PlayStation, Switch, Xbox, and PC platforms.
