Full Team Revealed

The time has come, with EA announcing the Team of the Year Ultimate XI.

There will be much discussion about the Ultimate XI, with the omission of Mohamed Salah as the big talking point.

Midfield Magic

Last year we saw 19 midfielders nominated for Team of the Year, with six representatives from the Premier League.

Bruno Fernandes and Kevin De Bruyne were joined in the official Team of the Year XI by Bayern Munich star Joshua Kimmich.

Chelsea had three midfielders on the shortlist after their Champions League success, with N'Golo Kante, Jorginho, and Mason Mount all featuring, winding up with two inclusions in the Ultimate XI.

Take a look at the three winners below.

Kevin De Bruyne

It’s not really a Team of the Year without Kevin De Bruyne, and it was yet another magical year for the Belgian superstar.

Injuries once again hampered KDB, but that didn’t stop him scoring three times in last season’s Champions League knockout rounds as he helped City all the way to the final, as well as the Premier League trophy.

N’Golo Kante

We fully expected N’Golo Kante to feature in the Ultimate XI after picking up the Man of the Match award in the 2021 Champions League final, and he has done just that.

Kante was sensational in helping the Blues claim the European crown and is definitely among the world’s best three midfielders.

Jorginho

Much has been made of Jorginho’s inclusion on the Ballon d’Or shortlist this year, but his Euro 2020 and Champions League winners’ medals make a strong case for him!

While Jorginho may not have been the star himself, his presence in both squads sees him among the TOTY players - and as the highest-rated of the three!
