FIFA 23 - How to increase your odds of packing a TOTY


As we enter 2023, FIFA 23 Ultimate Team players are starting to look ahead towards the upcoming promos in the FUT calendar this year.

Of course, the main attraction on the horizon is the hotly anticipated FIFA Team of the Year (TOTY) promo.

Twelve of the very best items we will see in the entirety of the game cycle will be made available, resulting in an absolute pack-opening frenzy!

So, find out how lucky you will need to be to pack a Team of the Year card in FIFA 23 Ultimate Team and how to increase your odds below.

What are the chances of packing a TOTY?

The odds of packing a Team of the Year card are the lowest of pretty much any items released during the Ultimate Team calendar.

Judging from the FIFA 22 probabilities, every single pack that can be bought via the Store, including Ultimate Packs (which cost around £17 / €21 per pack) are listed with less than a 1% chance of holding a TOTY item.

There are packs with a greater probability of including a Team of the Year card, however, these cannot be purchased in the FUT Store.

How to increase your odds of packing a TOTY

There's no real way of increasing your chances of packing a TOTY other than opening the packs which give you the best possible chance to do so.

Saving your guaranteed 20x 84+ Rare Gold Players Pack from the World Cup Swaps program, for example, and opening it once the TOTY is in packs will give you an increased chance.

PEASE EA - FUT 23 players will be praying for a TOTY card

If you've already spent your World Cup Swaps Tokens then don't worry, a Winter Wildcard Swaps program is on its way into Ultimate Team soon.

We are also yet to see EA introduce an Icon Swaps program in FUT 23, so this will no doubt be entering the game within the next couple of months.

EA will likely bring back league upgrade SBCs too. These SBCs allow players to submit low-chemistry squads of Non-Rare and Rare Gold cards in exchange for a pack that guarantees Rare Gold cards from a specific league.

Here's an in-depth guide to saving your packs for TOTY in FUT 23.
