The FIFA 22 Team of the Season (TOTS) campaign is underway in Ultimate Team, with top cards already released in the Community TOTS and Eredivisie TOTS squads.
The Premier League TOTS is set to arrive very soon and the ENTIRE squad has now been leaked, causing quite a stir amongst the FIFA community.
It's (virtually) official, Bruno Fernandes will be included in the Premier League Team of the Season squad.

We feel that this is totally undeserved and several players have been hard done by to be beaten to a TOTS spot by the Portuguese international.
Fortunate Fernandes
According to FUT Sheriff, Manchester United talisman Bruno Fernandes is set to be handed a 93 OVR TOTS card that will no doubt be one of the best CMs in the game.
Bruno's boosted card will boast 95 passing, 93 dribbling and 93 shooting, providing a strong link to fellow Red Devil Cristiano Ronaldo.
Now, whilst Fernandes has an impressive 16 league goal involvements this season, there is absolutely no way he should be included in the PL TOTS.
The attacking midfielder has been wasteful on the ball whilst showing little desire and a poor attitude when out of possession, falling way below the standard that he set in his first six months in a United shirt.
Even the most die-hard Manchester United fans would agree that EA has made a mistake by including Fernandes in this year's TOTS ahead of some outstanding performers.
Disrespected ballers
Several players deserve to be in the Premier League Team of the Season squad ahead of Bruno Fernandes.
We've gathered a few of the top performers from the 2021/22 campaign who are more deserving of a TOTS spot than the Manchester United man.
Jarrod Bowen
West Ham winger Jarrod Bowen will feel very hard-done-by to be left out of the Premier League Team of the Season squad this year.
The Englishman has racked up 10 goals and 10 assists in 33 league appearances, which is 4 more direct goal involvements than Bruno Fernandes.
Bowen's goals have propelled the Irons to a successful league campaign and a brilliant run in the Europa League too.
Harry Kane
England captain Harry Kane didn't have the best start to the season but has managed to score 13 goals and provide 8 assists in the past few months.
The striker is undoubtedly world-class and has out-performed Fernandes by a comfortable margin this season.
Judging from this leak, it looks like Harry Kane will be handed a TOTS card via a Squad Building Challenge, so it's not all doom and gloom for Spurs fans.
Andy Robertson
Liverpool left-back Andy Robertson seems to get overlooked by many football fans and we can't seem to understand why.
Perhaps it is due to the quality of the Reds defence in general and in particular the brilliance of Trent Alexander-Arnold, but the Scotsman has performed at a world-class level yet again this season.
Robbo has been exceptional at the back whilst providing a real threat in attack, picking up 10 assists so far this campaign.
Riyad Mahrez
Riyad Mahrez is another player who goes under the radar sometimes but is truly top class at what he does.
The Manchester City winger has 11 goals and 5 assists to his name this season, having a significant impact on City's title charge.
Bruno Fernandes has had little impact on a United side that will likely finish in 6th place, so how has he got in ahead of the Algerian international?
Emile Smith Rowe
21-year-old Emile Smith Rowe has been outstanding for Arsenal this season, earning himself a deserved England international call up.
The youngster has managed to score 10 goals whilst picking up 2 assists in the Premier League this season.
EA did not even out Smith Rowe forward as a Premier League nominee, taking away that chance for the fans to vote for him.
