Some members of the community were disappointed to see that the Real Madrid duo Antonio Rüdiger and David Alaba didn’t make the shortlist. Also, for the first time ever, Cristiano Ronaldo wasn’t included in the nominees list.

In order to cast your votes, please check the official TOTY page on EA’s website.

TOTY Icons

For this year’s TOTY, players can expect something new from EA. In a recent leak on social media, user Fut scoreboard discovered that two new type of TOTY cards will be introduced in-game, TOTY Icons and Alternate Reality Icons.

The first one will most likely feature Icons that were previously released in a FUT TOTY while the latter one it is rumoured to include Icons in different positions (i.e. Ronaldinho as a CDM).

Rumours that we may get TOTY Icons…
