While 2023 may have only just started, FIFA 23 is ready to look back on the year 2022 which saw a sensational world cup, an historic win in the women’s Euros and shock transfers as some huge stars near international retirement.
Now it’s your turn to have a say on 2022 in football, as FIFA 23 is launching the Team of the Year competition once again which lets fans vote on the year’s best players for a spot on the prestigious TOTY XI.
After much anticipation, the shortlist is here with several expected names as well as a few surprises – here’s the full list of nominees and how to vote in FIFA 23 TOTY.
How to vote for FIFA 23 TOTY
Voting for FIFA 23 TOTY is likely going to be the same as in previous years, which involved the following method:
- Head to the FIFA 23 Ultimate Team Website
- Click on the TOTY tab
- Choose your nominees for each position
- Submit your vote when ready
The vote opens on Tuesday 10th January at 4pm GMT, so do not be alarmed if you don’t see an option to vote before then.
