FIFA 21 Team of the Year: 5 SBCs EA Sports Should Release

FIFA 21 Team of the Year is on the horizon as fan voting comes to a close.

Team of the Year is the most anticipated promotion each year in FIFA Ultimate Team. EA Sports releases the strongest promotional team celebrating the 12 best performing players from last year. The players are released in groups based on position before a 12th man and the entire squad is in packs for a limited time.

As EA Sports continues to build hype for the event, there's more to TOTY, and all FUT promotions, than just the cards in packs. Here's five pieces of content that EA Sports should release for Team of the Year.

FIFA 21 Team of the Year: 5 SBCs EA Sports Should Release

5. Domestic League Celebration Player Pick

EA Sports doesn't do much when it comes to player pick options for promotional SBC items. A fun inclusion would be a player pick pack celebrating three to five players for a fantastic performance last year. Player picks might include a Heung-min Son item for his Puskas award winning goal, or Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang's run of form during Arsenal's FA Cup run. It might cost a pretty penny in coins, but it would be well received.

4. Guaranteed Walkout Packs

Fans have already a taste of 86+ Player Packs in FIFA 21. Give fans a chance at packing a TOTY each day with an SBC release. TOTY is supposed to be a celebration. Unless fans opt for adding FIFA Points, or saving rewards over time in preparation for TOTY, packing one remains very slim on top of already difficult odds.

3. Flashback Items

Flashback items were popular content drops during FIFA 20's TOTY event including an Andres Iniesta, David Luiz and Manuel Neuer. Let's continue that trend in FIFA 21 for items like Thiago Silva, Zlatan Ibrahimovic and more.

2. Moments Cards

If EA Sports doesn't heed our call for a player pick pack, Moments items are a must. Again, Son should be an instant inclusion for his Puskas award-winning goal. One of the most popular cards released in FIFA 19 was the TOTY Moments Gareth Bale item. EA Sports needs to give fans a TOTY-like card in SBCs this year.

1. League Upgrade Packs

As mentioned, fans take multiple approaches when grinding for TOTY cards. Saving rewards and spending FIFA Points might be the two most common, but league upgrade packs help fans out in their quests. EA Sports traditionally releases these, but how bout upping the ante toward the end of the promotion? Some 81+ double upgrade packs, some 82+ single upgrade packs.
