Ultimate TOTS

The Ultimate Team of the Season is exactly what it says on the tin, with all the best players of the promo released in one squad.

It usually includes 15 players, but this year we have been treated to 23, although that still means some top talents will miss out on coming to packs again.

TAKE YOUR PICK - All of these players were class additions to your Ultimate Team

Read a bit more about this year's Ultimate TOTS below:

Theo Hernandez

Sure, he's a Serie A player, but Theo Hernandez's French nationality makes him much sought after.

Having 99 Pace as his base stat means you can use a chem style to really push his other attributes to the max!

Marquinhos

Marquinhos makes his way into yet another promo team, a firm favourite among FUT fans.

Slap an Anchor chemistry style on him and laugh when your opponent can't do anything to get past him.

Virgil van Dijk

He may not have had such an imperious season this campaign, but Virgil van Dijk is still one of the best around - especially on FIFA!

We think Kalidou Koulibaly got a better TOTS card, but the links van Dijk can provide will be much better.

Joao Cancelo

Joao Cancelo has one of the best in-game stats totals in the game (as do a few on this list!), and has everything you would want from an attacking defender without losing out on any defensive abilities.

The man can play anywhere on the pitch, so although he may start off at LB, be prepared to see him at CB or in the midfield too.

Joshua Kimmich

If you're looking for someone to offer your defence some cover in midfield, they don't come much better than Joshua Kimmich.

EA love using him in promo squads, so of course, he makes this side.

Jude Bellingham

We've had the 'Gullit Gang' for some time now (cards with base stats all above 80), so now we have, the 'Bellingham Boys'?!

Whatever we end up calling it, Jude Bellingham's TOTS version was the first card with 90+ in all base attributes, so you'll be hard-pressed to find a more well-rounded card than his.

Kevin De Bruyne

Kevin De Bruyne has enjoyed another fantastic season and will be able to pull the strings in your midfield just as he does for Manchester City.

You can add a Hunter to him to make him insane in all attacking aspects, or stick a Shadow on to sure him up a little defensively, but the main thing is this - each of those chemistry syles brings him up to 98 Pace!

Christopher Nkunku

One of the in-form players of the season, Christopher Nkunku has 12 different card versions in FIFA 22 Ultimate Team.

Two Team of the Week and four Player of the Month cards show the TOTS variant was thoroughly deserved.

Vinicius Jr.

Another man of the moment, Vinicius Jr. gained an incredible TOTS card.

Maximum pace was a guarantee, but adding max dribbling stats and five-star skill moves makes him the go-to player if you want to take on defenders.

Kylian Mbappe

We're running out of superlatives for Kylian Mbappe, so we'll keep it short.

This card is amazing!

Karim Benzema

Probably the best player in the world right now, Karim Benzema received a monster TOTS card.

The boost he gained transformed him into a meta player, with great pace and dribbling attributes.

Cristiano Ronaldo

It wouldn't be an Ultimate Team of the Season without featuring Cristiano Ronaldo, who shows that it doesn't matter what team is around him, he will still bag goals.

He is one of many top attacking talents to make the side.

Mohamed Salah

His season tailed off towards the end, but Mohamed Salah still had a top campaign.

Another chance at being able to pack the Egyptian King will make Liverpool fans very happy indeed!
