FIFA 23 - How and when to save packs for Team of the Year (TOTY)


The Team of the Year (TOTY) promo is taking over FIFA 23 and it's time you get your Ultimate Team club in order as the biggest campaign in the FUT calendar arrives.

You may have heard FIFA YouTubers barking on about saving packs for Team of the Year, but there is a right and a wrong way to do it.

So, read on to find out how and when to save your packs for TOTY in FUT 23.

When to save packs for TOTY

We recommend you start the pack-saving process now if you haven't already.

This still leaves you a good amount of tie before the entire TOTY squad, including the 12th Man, is released into packs.

TOTY cards will be released into packs in a staggered manner. First will be the attackers, then the midfielders, then the defenders and then the entire squad.

You can take a look at the full TOTY release schedule here.

Make sure to hold off on opening your packs until ALL of the TOTY cards are available in order to give yourself the best percentage chance of packing one.

How to save packs for TOTY

You do not want to be saving absolutely all of your packs ahead of the Team of the Year's release date.

This is because you need to keep the flow of players and coins coming into your club in the build-up to the full TOTY XI's release.

What we would recommend is saving ALL player packs, including mixed player packs, but not all non-player packs.

You should open any non-player packs that are worth 30,000 coins or less, including the likes of Mega Packs.

Opening these packs will not only provide you with players and consumable items that you can sell for coins on the transfer market but also players that you can submit into SBCs in order to save larger, more valuable packs for TOTY.
