The FIFA 22 TOTY XI was announced in full on Jan. 20 following a voting period. The team started its release period the following day. Looking at the 2023 calendar, most would expect FIFA 23's TOTY to be released in packs starting Friday, Jan. 20. There should be a voting period the week beforehand and then the standard release schedule. EA Sports will release attackers in packs for a limited time. Then, those players will be removed for midfielders followed by defenders. Finally, the full squad will be re-released and a 12th player should be added.
