TOTY Honorable Mention Teaser

TOTY Honorable Mention Teaser 

EA Sports FC Mobile has officially dropped the teaser for the upcoming TOTY Honorable Mention content, confirming the next phase of Team of the Year as the event enters Week 5 this Thursday at UTC reset.

TOTY is a six-week-long flagship event this season and is built around the newly introduced Draft-based progression system. Every week has delivered a clearly defined content rotation, and Honorable Mentions now mark the next evolution of that structure.

TOTY Weekly Structure So Far

The TOTY event has followed a very clear and consistent weekly roadmap, helping players plan their Draft Vouchers and progression more strategically.

Week 1 focused on Attackers, featuring the Attacker Nominee chapter along with the Attacker Draft.

Week 2 shifted attention to Midfielders, introducing the Midfielder Nominee chapter and Midfielder Draft.

Week 3 moved into Defenders, with the Defender Nominee chapter and Defender Draft going live.

Week 4 was dedicated to UTOTY, bringing the Ultimate Team of the Year cards, UTOTY Drafts, and high-end exchanges.

Now, in Week 5, EA is expanding the TOTY lineup further with Honorable Mention cards, giving standout players who narrowly missed UTOTY another moment in the spotlight.

Honorable Mentions Confirmed for Drafts

During last week’s official stream, EA confirmed that Honorable Mention cards would be available through Drafts, and this teaser officially locks that in. With this update, Honorable Mentions will replace the Icons Draft, and players will need to use FC Draft Vouchers to try their luck.

The teaser also reveals the distinct Honorable Mention card design, featuring a purple-themed TOTY look that visually separates these cards from Nominees and UTOTY.

As usual, EA did not reveal player names or faces. Instead, the teaser cards only display

• OVR
• Position
• Nationality
• League

Even with limited information, the community was quick to connect the dots.

Community Predictions for Teased Cards

Based on the OVR, position, nationality, and league shown in the teaser, three Honorable Mention cards are almost universally agreed upon by the community.

117 OVR RW Spain LaLiga

This card is strongly expected to be Lamine Yamal. He previously received a 116 OVR TOTY Nominee card but missed out on a UTOTY upgrade. Given his impact and popularity, a 117 OVR Honorable Mention feels like a natural progression.

117 OVR RW France Bundesliga

All clues point toward Michael Olise. The French winger already featured as a 115 OVR TOTY Nominee, and an Honorable Mention upgrade would make him one of the most desirable attacking options from this phase.

117 OVR CB Brazil Ligue 1

This silhouette matches Marquinhos almost perfectly. The PSG defender received a 115 OVR TOTY Nominee card, and an Honorable Mention version would instantly become a top-tier defensive choice.

What to Expect Next

If EA follows the same pattern used for previous weeks, a full Honorable Mention banner showcasing all available cards is likely to drop tomorrow. That reveal should confirm

• The complete Honorable Mention player list
• Exact OVR distribution
• Which cards headline the Draft pools

There is also ongoing speculation about whether Honorable Mention Exchanges, similar to UTOTY exchanges, will be introduced. EA has not confirmed this yet, but clarity should arrive once the Week 5 content goes live.

Community Reaction and Strategy

With Draft Vouchers becoming increasingly valuable, many players are already adjusting their plans. Some are choosing to save vouchers specifically for Honorable Mentions, while others are debating whether these cards will be easier or harder to pull compared to UTOTY.

For players who missed out on UTOTY upgrades, Honorable Mentions offer a second chance at 117 OVR elite cards in highly meta positions, especially RW and CB.

Final Thoughts

The Honorable Mention phase looks like a strong continuation of TOTY’s structured weekly rollout. By rewarding standout Nominee players with upgraded cards and placing them directly into Drafts, EA is keeping engagement high as the event approaches its final weeks.

With the banner reveal expected soon and the Draft update arriving this Thursday UTC, the countdown to TOTY Week 5 has officially begun.
