TOTY Officially Comes to an End in FC Mobile
With TOTY officially ending today at the Thursday UTC reset, one of the most defining and content-heavy events of the season concludes in EA Sports FC Mobile. Over the past six weeks, Team of the Year has not only delivered elite-tier player items but has fundamentally reshaped the structure of major events in the game.
From the very first week, 117 OVR cards were already available through top nominees and premium Icons, immediately establishing a new competitive benchmark. Unlike past seasons where ratings gradually climbed toward a peak, this year’s TOTY opened at the highest level and maintained that elite standard throughout its entire duration.
This was not just a high-rating promo. It was a structural shift.
A Structured Six-Week Rollout
TOTY followed a clear weekly structure that kept engagement strong and predictable. Week 1 launched with the Attackers Nominee chapter and Attacker Draft, introducing some of the most sought-after offensive players in the game, including 117 OVR cards right from the start.
Week 2 transitioned to midfielders, maintaining the same OVR ceiling and reinforcing positional balance. Week 3 shifted the spotlight to defenders, again delivering 117 OVR cards and ensuring that every department of the pitch received elite-level upgrades.
Week 4 introduced UTOTY, the prestige phase of the event. While UTOTY did not increase the OVR cap beyond 117, it upgraded selected nominees into their most premium versions and added new Draft pools and exchange mechanics. This phase solidified 117 OVR as the definitive benchmark rather than pushing ratings higher.
Week 5 brought Honourable Mentions into Draft rotations, expanding the player pool and recognizing standout performers who narrowly missed the main XI. Week 6 concluded the event with final Draft refreshes and one last premium Icon Box release, bringing the six-week journey to a close.
The Draft System That Changed Event Progression
One of the biggest shifts during TOTY was the full implementation of the universal FC Draft Voucher system. Traditional shard-based progression was replaced with rotating Draft pools, event-specific Draft tabs, and transparent probability displays.
Players had to manage vouchers strategically, deciding whether to spend immediately or save for upcoming weekly rotations. This structure introduced a new rhythm to progression, encouraging planning rather than simple milestone grinding.
While the Draft-based format received mixed reactions from the community, it undeniably established a modular system that is now being applied across multiple events beyond TOTY.
Weekly Premium Icon Boxes
Another major highlight of TOTY was the weekly premium Icon Box rotation, which ensured positional variety and consistent hype.
- Week 1 featured Marcelo at 117 OVR as a left back.
- Week 2 highlighted Edwin van der Sar at 117 OVR as a goalkeeper.
- Week 3 delivered Zlatan Ibrahimović at 117 OVR as a striker.
- Week 5 brought fan-favorite Lúcio at 117 OVR in central defense.
- Week 6 concluded with Toni Kroos at 116 OVR in midfield.
Each Box followed a fixed 12-tier reward path, offering exclusive players and high-value resources. The weekly positional rotation clearly showed EA’s approach of covering different squad needs rather than stacking upgrades in a single role.
UTOTY and the Prestige Phase
UTOTY served as the elite consolidation phase of the event. Rather than introducing higher OVR numbers, it refined and elevated selected nominees into premium versions while maintaining the 117 cap.
Dedicated UTOTY Draft pools and exchange mechanics allowed users who had invested in pre-ranked nominee cards to convert them into upgraded versions. This phase emphasized prestige and exclusivity rather than pure rating escalation.
A New Direction for FC Mobile
Beyond player releases, TOTY integrated Phase 2 Token exchanges, Star Pass rewards, Scouting Camp integration, and multiple overlapping side events operating within the same Draft ecosystem. By the end of six weeks, it was evident that TOTY had done more than deliver strong cards - it had introduced a new event philosophy.
The 117 OVR ceiling became normalized. The Draft system became central. Weekly content cadence became predictable and structured.
Final Thoughts
With TOTY officially ending today at the Thursday UTC reset, FC Mobile transitions into its next main event, Capped Legends. What remains from TOTY is a raised competitive benchmark and a Draft-first progression model that will likely define upcoming promos.
Six weeks of elite releases, weekly rotations, premium Icons, and structured engagement have come to an end. Whether praised for innovation or debated for its format, TOTY will be remembered as the event that reshaped FC Mobile’s direction for the season ahead.
