It’s become a yearly tradition in FIFA and Football Ultimate Team, and it’s set to continue this week. The FIFA 23 Team of the Year (TOTY) promo is set to begin shortly, but we did not know which players would be a part of the event. Now we do, as EA Sports and the FIFA team officially announced the group of XI on social media. Let’s just say that this lineup is filled with star power.

Here’s the look at the Team of the Year XI:

Three PSG players made the Team of the Year XI, including star attacker Lionel Messi. The 2022 World Cup winner will receive a 98 OVR card in FUT, the highest overall from this set of players. Real Madrid placed four footballers — Karim Benzema, Thibaut Courtois, Luka Modric, Eder Militao — in the XI, the most out of any team.
The XI also includes a number of young stars in the football world, as Jude Bellingham, Theo Hernandez, and Achraf Hakimi are all on this list. Those three join grizzled veterans Thibaut Courtois, Luka Modric, and Virgil van Dijk.
This release comes a little over a week after the nominees were released. FIFA 23 and football fans were given the option to vote on the Team of the Year from January 10-17.
The FIFA 23 Team of the Year is set to go live in Football Ultimate Team on January 20.
