The FIFA 21 TOTY (Team of the Year) event is approaching! Even before the start on Friday you can get some packs for free to open them after the start and with some luck draw really strong players. We tell you which packs are worth to get.

The voting for the FIFA 21 TOTY has ended on January 18th and the starting signal for the new promo event will be on Friday. More precisely on Friday morning, as can be seen from the Instagram channel of EA Sports. There you can find a countdown that will expire on Friday at 01:00 German time. So make sure you get some free packs before it’s too late.

What can you expect in the FIFA 21 TOTY?

The Team of the Year in FIFA traditionally brings some of the strongest cards that the FUT mode has to offer. Sure, events like the Headliners or Ones to Watch have plenty to offer as well, but quite a few players who make it into the TOTY end up with a total value of 95 or more – several cards with 99 OVR are considered extremely likely.

Better players will not be available during the year!

In previous years, EA Sports has released the TOTY cards in a staggered fashion. First came the defenders, then the midfield and then the attackers, before they all came in packs at a later time. It is conceivable that this will also be the case for the FIFA 21 TOTY.

FIFA 21 TOTY: Get more packs for free

The probability of drawing a TOTY player in card packs is vanishingly small. But logically, you increase your chances if you open more packs. Sounds obvious, doesn’t it?

Now you could pull out your wallet for FIFA packs and buy them for real money. However, we don’t do that and it’s not necessary either, because even in FIFA 21 Ultimate Team mode there are several ways to get packs for free.

1. complete the mega duel

In FUT 21, a new goals category called “Mega Duel” has been launched. There you can secure a total of five card packs by completing four simple tasks. All you have to do is complete various objectives in Squad Battles or Division Rivals mode.

We have summarized what you have to do and what rewards await you in this article.

2. complete various goals

FIFA 21 Ultimate Team – Season 3, as always, comes with a variety of tasks and objectives. Completing some of them will reward you with card packs. Navigate to the “Goals” tab in the web app or in-game to get an overview.

Some map packs are unlocked through – Season al progress, which you increase by earning experience points. Other goals require you to complete certain tasks. Worthwhile ones include:

• Milestone: Co-op – Win 25 co-op games (Reward: Premium Gold Player Set).
• Mastery: Templates (Reward: Rare Player Set)
• Mastery: Completion (Reward: Jumbo Rare Player Pack)
• The Silver Experts
• And many more…

3. packs from the rewards

The classic: Save your card packs from the Division Rivals and Weekend League rewards. These will be distributed on Thursday morning. This week you should not open them directly, but save them until the start of the FUT 21 TOTY.

4. card packs from SBCs

Card packs are also sometimes awarded for completing some Squad Building Challenges (SBCs for short). Keep your eyes open and complete as many SBCs as possible before they expire. You’ll save the rewards until the TOTY launch, just like with the Rewards.

The 80+ player choice would be an option, but the 81+ double upgrade or the new 82+ upgrade SBCs are also worthwhile.

Also, keep an eye on the League SBCs: Here, too, you can secure some really strong card packs for free at a relatively low price. SBCs of top teams like Chelsea, FC Bayern or RB Leipzig cost around 10,000 coins and reward you with packs that are worth considerably more.

5. Packs from Icon Swaps

Currently the first Icon Swaps are running in FIFA 21 Ultimate Team and also here you can get some packs. Via the friendly mode you can get tokens which you can invest in FUT icons – or, as in this case, in card packs:

• For 3 tokens, you get a pack of 5 players with a value of at least 85+.
• For 2 tokens you get 2 Ultimate Packs.
• For 5 tokens, you get a pack of 25 players with at least an 83+ value.

However, this method is only worthwhile if you don’t want to earn any of the icons from the swaps. If you invest the tokens in packs, you won’t have them to complete the game.

So you can see for yourselves: There are many ways to get FIFA 21 Packs without spending money. Whether you will really find TOTY players in them or you will draw losers depends solely on Fortuna, the goddess of luck. We keep our fingers crossed for you.

What are TOTS in FIFA?

The best players of the past – Season are included in the Team of the – Season . A TOTS consists of 15 players. The stars who were especially good for their clubs in real life can be found in the TOTS of their respective league.

The best: There are not only different TOTS from the top leagues and many more, there is also a vote for all the players who are among your favorites.

FIFA 22 TOTS Release Date in April – When will Team of the – Season be released?

TOTS in FIFA 22 started on April 29th. With the Community TOTS as well as the Eredivisie it goes into the weeks of truth in FUT. Who performed and will get in – and who will miss the TOTS cards? We’ll keep you up to date.

FIFA 23 WILL BE THE LAST PART OF THE GAME SERIES UNDER THIS NAME

FIFA 23 will be the last part of the game series to be released under the name of the world governing body and in collaboration with EA. For months the rumor mill was bubbling, now all this has been confirmed by the game makers EA in May 2022. The fact is that after almost 30 years of partnership between EA Sports and FIFA, the license agreement between the two parties will expire with the game FIFA 23.

Already with the launch of FIFA 22, Electronic Arts revealed the following in a blog post: There exists “the idea to rename our global EA Sports soccer games.” According to speculation, the world governing body FIFA has demanded double the amount for a continuation of the cooperation in new contract negotiations with EA. Exact figures have not been confirmed, but it is said to have been a sum in the billions for a total of ten more years.

So it is not surprising that the partnership of EA and FIFA ends with the upcoming game FIFA 23. In the past months it was to be read again and again that the game developers were to have been anyway increasingly dissatisfied with the partnership. EA is even said to have found FIFA to be a hindrance in the development of the games.
