"EA Sports has revealed the much-anticipated Ultimate Team of the Year cards for the 2025/26 season, including a slew of meta favourites from the likes of the evergreen Virgil van Dijk, super-fast Kylian Mbappe and unplayable queen of FC 26 Claudia Pina. Elsewhere Lionesses Alessia Russo, Lucy Bronze and Leah Williamson feature alongside now-obligatory Barcelona duo Alexia Putellas and Aitana Bonmati. On the men's side, Arsenal's title tilt sees Declan Rice and William Saliba make the first 11, while Champions League holders PSG have the most players from a single team, with Ousmane Dembele, Vitinha and Nuno Mendes adding both rapid speed and technical prowess to proceedings."
"However, the Team of the Year selection hasn't been without controversy. The FC 26 TOTY promo is voted for by players, you probably cast your vote by selecting time-limited gold cards yourself, but that method has led some to question whether the Team of the Year is more of a popularity contest than a true measure of performance. This is with specific reference to Virgil, whose in-and-out form during Liverpool's poor start this season has caused some to question his eight-straight inclusion."
"In yet another blow to those of us who got Mario Gomez and Gianluca Vialli from the Classic XI Hero pack, during the TOTY event these Classic XI Heroes will be further upgraded to TOTY Honorable Mentions Heroes. More TOTY items will also be dropping over the next couple of weeks, including a men's and women's 12th player, Honorable Mentions, 2 teams of TOTY Icons and both a men's and women's "Captain of the Year"."

Classic XI Heroes will be upgraded to TOTY Honorable Mentions and multiple TOTY drops follow a January schedule.
