EA FC 25 TOTY 12th Man & Woman: How to vote, nominees, more

The EA FC 25 Team of the Year has finally been revealed, but there’s still a chance to acknowledge those who missed out through the 12th Man and 12th Woman vote.
Of all the promos in EA FC 25 Ultimate Team, none are as big as Team of the Year. This annual event rewards the standout players over the last 12 months by handing them heavily upgraded cards that are some of the best in the entire game.
But there are always those who don’t quite make the final squad but still deserve a mention. Luckily, that’s where the EA FC TOTY 12th Man vote comes in, so here’s everything you need to know about it.
How to vote for EA FC 25 Team of the Year 12th Man & Woman
The 12th Man and Women vote takes place in EA FC 25 Ultimate Team itself. Now that the voting is live, the first time you log in you’ll be greeted by two Player Picks, containing loan versions of all the Men’s and Women’s nominees.
Selecting a player and adding the loan card to your club will count as your vote, and the two selected the most will be named the 12th Man and Woman. These will both receive a special TOTY card, featuring boosted stats and additional PlayStyles.
The winners will be added to packs on January 24, alongside the rest of the main team and TOTY Honorable Mentions.
