Each year, EA Sports commemorates the top 11 players from around the world by giving them special blue and gold cards with greatly improved stats and incredible transfer market value.

For this reason alone, it has always been so popular as there is the chance to earn millions of FIFA 22 Coins with one click, and this is usually the busiest weekend of the year with more players playing FIFA than ever before.

With that in mind, the entire FIFA community will want to know when the first TOTY players will be added to the game and what the release schedule will be.

Many fans of the series already have a lot of players in mind that could be cited as part of this year's promotion, with Bayern Munich's Robert Lewandowski, Liverpool's Mohamed Salah and Manchester City's Kevin de Bruyne, who seem not to think.

FIFA 22 TOTY - release date

While EA has not confirmed when TOTY will take off, which is likely to take off in 2 days, there have been leaks suggesting when the nominations will start and when the official release date will be.

According to FUTzone on Twitter, TOTY nominees should start on Friday, January 7, and the promotion itself will start on Friday, January 21, 2022.

In recent years, EA has usually released players to the team in a certain order, and we don't expect it to be any different this time around. The attackers must be released first, then the midfielders, then the defenders and goalkeeper, and then the entire squad together.

This should revive the transfer market after several crashes that have occurred since the game's launch in October 2021, with the possible introduction of honor cards, player goals, and Squad Building Challenges (SBC).

Now that we have a release date, the excitement may soar and expectations are likely to skyrocket quickly, with days and weeks counting down the arrival of these beautiful blue and gold cards.
