Team of the Year has come to FIFA 22 Ultimate Team, with the Ultimate XI being released gradually throughout the week.
We have already seen the Attackers come and go from packs, with Midfielders set to follow, then the Defenders and Goalkeeper.
There has also been a return for Team of the Year Player Moments cards, so check out all the latest news, leaks and rumours surrounding them, and everything you need to know about the cards.
Latest - Simply the Dest
TrustyFutTrader leaked this card on Thursday, 20 January, but it has now had 'official' backing from the ever-reliable Fut Sheriff.
Barcelona's American full-back Sergino Dest is set for a TOTY Moments card very soon in FIFA 22 Ultimate Team - potentially tonight (Tuesday, 25 January).
It looks like Sheriff also thinks the full stats, including overall rating, are correct from this leak too.
We'll wait to see if this turns out to be true, and judging by the leaks so far, it almost certainly will be!
Lamela wins Puskas award
Erik Lamela has won the 2021 Puskas award for his outrageous 'rabona' goal against Arsenal.
With the award given to the Argentinian, he could be the recipient of a Player Moments card sooner rather than later!
FUT 21 TOTY Moments
Last year we saw three Team of the Year Moments SBC cards released during the event, with one attacker, one midfielder, and one defender.
Atletico Madrid striker Luis Suarez received an awesome 91 OVR card as a celebration of his ‘Goal of the Year’ strike against Mallorca.
Juventus’s silky playmaker Paulo Dybala was the midfielder included, with the Argentine CAM recognised for his insane assist against Udinese in the Coppa Italia.
Finally, German centre-back Jerome Boateng received a monstrous new card as a reward for his display against Red Bull Salzburg in the Champions League.
Daniele Verde
After seeing a couple of cards that needed to be unlocked via SBCs, EA gave us this Daniele Verde card which can be completed through objectives.
This one was in recognition of "his spectacular overhead kick vs Lazio", and provides a very nippy and skilful winger for your club.

Lucas Paqueta
In-form Brazilian Lucas Paqueta was next up to earn a Player Moments SBC, "celebrating his superb buildup and goal against Clemont in Ligue 1".
You can find out how to unlock his card here.
Ilkay Gundogan
Manchester City's German maestro Ilkay Gundogan received a Player Moments SBC card as part of the TOTY Warmup Series event.
The 90 OVR card celebrates his two "superb inside the box goals against Spurs in 20/21 season".
You can check out his now expired card here.
Predictions
As the Team of the Year Moments players won’t feature in the Ultimate XI (or as 12th man), they won’t be selected from the game’s elite players.
Instead, stand-out moments from the 2021 year are likely to be commemorated with high-rated SBCs, and we can’t wait!
Patrick Schick
Cast your mind back to the summer, and Czech Republic striker Patrick Schick the goal that put him among the three finalists for the 2021 FIFA Puskas Award.
Schick scored from an outrageous distance against Scotland but faces competition from Erik Lamela and Mehdi Taremi for the award.
Kai Havertz
Starting off with the attacker, and Chelsea star Kai Havertz could be awarded a brilliant new card as the 2020/21 Champions League final match-winner.
The German international scored the only goal of the game as Chelsea beat Man City 1-0.
Simon Kjaer
EA has already shown they have a compassionate side, so a Player Moments card for Simon Kjaer could be fitting in this year’s event.
Kjaer could be celebrated for his on-field heroics in helping Christian Eriksen when he collapsed on the pitch during Euro 2020, something he and the Danish medical team won the UEFA President’s Award for.
