You can discover the finalized TOTY lineups, featuring both men’s and women’s teams, right in the graphics shared on the tweets below. These visuals provide a comprehensive look at each player included, saving me the trouble of listing every name here—you can check them out if you’re curious!

Starting January 17, these TOTY cards will begin to appear in the game. The attackers are set to lead the charge, followed by midfielders on January 19, and both defenders and goalkeepers on January 21. Between January 23 and January 31, the full TOTY rosters will be available in the Ultimate Team pool, and there’s even a 12th man and woman coming on January 24 to round things out nicely.

In addition, today’s update is touted as a “gameplay refresh,” described by the developers as the most significant mid-season update they’ve ever created based on player feedback. Talk about setting high expectations!

For the complete update notes, check out the detailed list, but here are the highlights:
