Take a look at our predictions below for the players we believe will make the cut in the Liga Portugal TOTS squad in FIFA 23 Ultimate Team.
Liga Portugal TOTS Release Date
Arriving as the final minor Team of the Season squad on Sunday, 4 June, the Liga Portugal TOTS side will hit packs just before the Ultimate TOTS squad the following week.
As usual, the Liga Portugal TOTS will be made available at 1pm ET / 6pm BST on release day and will be in packs for precisely one week.
click to enlargeIt will replace the Super Lig TOTS side in packs, joining the major league Serie A TOTS squad.
We could also see a Rest of the World TOTS squad drop at the same time, although it appears that EA has dropped some of the minor leagues that have been included in previous years.
Predictions
With no shortlist of nominees to vote on for the minor leagues, here are our predictions for who will feature in the Liga Portugal TOTS squad:
Odysseas Vlachodimos (OVR 91)
click to enlargeQuite simply, Odysseas Vlachodimos possess the best clean sheet record in Portugal this season, as well as the longest name.
With 20 clean sheets under his belt, the phenomenal Greek keeper has also impressed in the Champions League this season.
Lifting the Liga Portugal title with Benfica this season, it won't be long before many big clubs start to circle around Vlachodimos.
Pepe (OVR 92)
click to enlargeA legend of the game with a fierce streak that would terrify even the most robust of strikers, Pepe is certain to feature in the Liga Portugal TOTS in FIFA 23.
He may not be everyone's top pick for best defenders this season, but the former Real Madrid centre-half is still impressive despite his age.
At the age of 40, we think this man is more than deserving of a TOTS boost.
Jeremiah St. Juste (OVR 89)
click to enlargeA lightning-quick defender who would become a favourite for any Ultimate Team player, we're sure that many would like to see this card added.
A 99-pace defender with excellent physical stats is enough to make any FUT player salivate, but this man is also more than deserving of this potential boost.
With only a singular goal to his name, it's St. Juste's impressive defensive stats that have seen him secure his place in our team.
Alejandro Grimaldo (OVR 92)
click to enlargeGrimaldo is one of the best performers for title-winning Benfica, with the Spaniard also possessing the second-best assist records in the league.
A left-back who oozes class, Grimaldo is a sensational talent that has been proving himself to be the best that Portugal has to offer when it comes to full-backs.
Five goals and 11 assists from a full-back is more than enough to make our team.
Florentino (OVR 90)
click to enlargeAnother rising Benfica star who has shown his class this season, Florentino is quickly becoming one of the most impressive young defensive midfielder anchors in the world.
With three assists this season from an anchoring position, Florentino has been key to Benfica's success this season, filling in the hole left by Enzo Fernandes.
With a 7.48 average rating, this man was always going to make the list.
Joao Mario (OVR 92)
click to enlargeIt's a hat-trick for Benfica, with Joao Mario proving to be one of the best-rated players in Portugal this season.
Performing wonders in both the Champions League and domestic competitions, Joao Mario is another Portuguese star ageing like a fine wine.
With a staggering 17 goals and nine assists in 33 matches this season, the 30-year-old has been the GOAT of the Portuguese League this season and is deserving of a huge boost in FIFA 23.
Ricardo Horta (OVR 90)
click to enlargeTaking a break from Benfica, we welcome Ricardo Horta to the Team of the Season conversation.
Horta, a deadly attacking midfielder for Braga, scored 14 goals and provided eight assists this season, proving pivotal to the side finishing in third spot in the table.
A consistent performer who more than warrants a spot, Horta could be an underrated gem in FIFA 23.
Pedro Goncalves (OVR 91)
click to enlargeTop of the charts for assists in the Portuguese League this season, Pedro Goncalves is a rising star with the world at his feet.
At only 24, Goncalves bagged 15 goals and 12 assists in 33 games this season, proving to be one of the best wide forwards the league has to offer.
A big move could be on the cards this summer, as this man continues to prove his class in domestic competitions.
Marcus Edwards (OVR 91)
click to enlargeIt's difficult to argue that Marcus Edwards has been the best in his position this year, but we know that EA loves throwing a curve ball when it comes to Team of the Season.
A breakout star, former Tottenham prospect Edwards has scored seven goals and bagged nine assists for Sporting this season, boasting an average rating of 7.31.
Edwards could be due a big boost in FIFA 23, especially as many fans are familiar with his name.
Mehdi Taremi (OVR 92)
click to enlargeOne of the top marksmen in the 2021/22 season, Mehdi Taremi has improved on his tally this year with 22 goals and even has eight assists to his name.
He has finished as the league's top scorer and is almost certain to receive a Team of the Season boost in FIFA 23.
At 30, Taremi's time for a big move may have passed, but Porto will just be thankful they can keep hold of this top marksman.
Goncalo Ramos (OVR 94)
click to enlargeArguably the most exciting young forward in world football, Goncalo Ramos has had an incredible season.
World Cup hat-trick aside, Ramos has scored 19 goals and bagged seven assists in the league this season, with clubs like Manchester United circling around the talented forward.
A player of immense skill, Ramos is set to be another hotshot talent touted for a major money move in the summer.
