FIFA 22 TOTY: Cristiano Ronaldo set to be named 12th Man


We are closing in on the full release of the Team of the Year squad into packs in FIFA 22 Ultimate Team, but there is still one spot left up for grabs.

Voting has been going on within the FUT community for this year's 12th man, and it looks like the winner has been decided.

Another Premier League still will be added to the Team of the Year roster, but it may not be the superstar we expected!

Latest - CR7 stats confirmed

FUT Sheriff has now leaked the confirmed sats for Cristiano Ronaldo's 12th Man TOTY card, and it looks absolutely insane.

CR7's TOTY card boasts 98 shooting, 95 dribbling, 93 pace, 92 physicality and 88 passing.

Combining these base stats with five-star skill moves and Ronaldo's in-game body type will make him one of, if not the best striker in Ultimate Team.

12th Man Vote

EA released the vote for the Team of the Year 12th Man in Ultimate Team earlier in the week, with three of the world's most lethal forwards battling it out.

CHOOSE WISELY - Who will you be picking for the final spot in the Ultimate XI?

The 12th Man vote will be split between the following three players:

  • Cristiano Ronaldo
  • Mohamed Salah
  • Karim Benzema

With it left up to a public vote again, it was always likely that Salah will miss out on a TOTY inclusion, with many players picking CR7 instead as he would have a beast of a card.

SIUUUUU

Well, the celebrations may be premature, but the early signs look like Cristiano Ronaldo will be named as the 12th Man in Team of the Year.

That is according to one of FIFA 22's most reliable leakers, so we are inclined to believe that a mega CR7 card is going to hit packs this week.

Ronaldo was always the favourite once it came down to a community vote as he is one of the world's most popular athletes, and it is fair to say that Benzema never really stood a chance.

Salah can certainly feel aggrieved at missing out on the event altogether, but we are sure he will be back in the mix next year!

As expected, the Team of the Year came to the game in mid-January.
