• FC 25 Team Of The Year | Who Makes Our Team? | Ft Bunny Shaw, Aitana Bonmatí and More!
    Jan 9 2025

    Fara and Anita are back for the new year! In this special episode, the pair create their perfect Team of the Year.


    Who starts at the back? Has Alex Greenwood done enough to deserve a spot? And who plays in midfield too? The pair debate between Guro Reiten and Tabitha Chawinga for who should play out wide.


    They play a game of 'winner stays on' at the end. Does Fara pick HERSELF over Bonmatí? And which player was entirely omitted from the nominations that Fara simply can't believe?


    Remember to head over to the EA SPORTS website NOW at ea.com/toty to submit your vote.


    Voting is open now until Sunday, 12th January and the Final TOTY XI will be announced on Friday, 17th January.
