EA SPORTS have revealed FIFA 20 Team of the Week (TOTW) 43 as competitions around world football begin to reach the pointy end of all delayed 2019/20 seasons — here’s everything you need to know.
Following the completion of another busy gameweek across football’s top-flight leagues, and the final matchday of the Premier League season, a new Team of the Week has been revealed. Check out the full squad of FIFA 20 TOTW 43 below.
FIFA 20 TOTW 43 revealed
The Premier League has officially finished now and every other major league is seeing out its final matches, and we’ve seen some great performances as a result. Here’s the official TOTW 43.
EA SPORTSTeam of the Week 43 has been announced.
It’s no surprise to see the return of the likes of TOTSSF Kevin de Bruyne and TOTY Trent Alexander-Arnold in there (as Best Of cards, too) given their solid showings, but names like Smalling and Bissouma might be a shock to some even despite their decent performances.
When does TOTW 43 go live in FIFA 20?
As per usual, the start time for the event will be 6pm BST / 12pm CT / 1pm EST / 3am AEST on Wednesday, July 29.
The team was revealed at 3pm on July 29, meaning players have a few hours to plan ahead and see which players they’re interested in getting.

So, there you have it — the full Team of the Week 43, and our predictions. We weren’t far off with some of them, but might need to re-evaluate some of those going into FIFA 21.
FIFA 21 Team of the Year will be here before you know it, and, we’ve got all the info on release dates, new cards, and a whole lot more.
The FIFA 21 cycle is starting to get up to speed now we’ve made the jump from FUTMAS – this year, known as Freeze – and moved into the new year.
TOTY is not to be confused with Team of the Season, which releases in the springtime, this promo is all about fans voting for the best players in the game.
The promo typically produces some of the best, non-icon cards in FIFA, but, will it be the same this year? Here’s everything that’s been confirmed.
Team of the Year always delivers in FIFA – and FIFA 20’s squad was insane.
When does Team of the Year come out FIFA 21?
As noted, FIFA 20’s FUTMAS event held the key to TOTY cards in the form of nominees and voting. Fans got to vote for a squad of 11 players from a pool of 55 nominees, with EA tallying the votes.
EA took a slightly different approach this season and opened the voting for Team of the Year on Thursday, January 7 after announcing it the day prior.
With voting previously starting on Jan 7, we still don’t yet know when cards will start entering packs, though we would guess it could occur around the week of January 18, giving players time to vote on who they want to see in TOTY.
In terms of who might be on the side itself, it’s going to be some of the world’s best players, so it’s incredibly difficult to pick out a few predictions.
The likes of Lionel Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo, Robert Lewandowski, Virgil Van Dijk, Kevin De Bruyne, Kylian Mbappe, and Neymar should all get nominee nods, but expect a few others as well.
Last year, the inclusions of Frenkie De Jong, Mathias De Ligt, and N’Golo Kante might have raised a few eyebrows, but that’s what players voted for at the end of the day.

Just like last year, the voting process is pretty simple, and it’s just a case of heading to the Team of the Year website. On the website, you will see an empty 4-3-3 template, in which you can fill in your preferred goalkeeper, defenders, midfielders, and attackers.
FIFA 21 TOTY card design
We already know what the TOTY Nominee card design looks like, as revealed in the promotional content above, but what about the Team of the Year cards themselves?
Unfortunately, the official TOTY card design has not been revealed as EA are likely waiting for the full team announcement to unveil the item. We’ll be sure to include that in here and also post it on Twitter as soon as it’s revealed.
Whatever it ends up being, it’ll be hard to top last year’s design, which was as majestic and elegant as a FUT card has ever been.

FIFA 21 TOTY SBCs & Objectives
Although EA love to give lots of opportunities for players to unlock untradeable cards through SBCs and Objectives, don’t expect there to be many for TOTY, since those cards are so high-rated and powerful.
That said, there should be at least one SBC involving this promotion, maybe not for a specific card outright but a pack that guarantees one of the TOTY players. We’ll have more info for you here once the promo kicks off and EA reveals all the details.
What time does TOTY come out FIFA 21?
Currently, there’s no indication as to when TOTY comes out, and 2021 is following a different vein than the early event start of 2020, which started on January 15. We will be sure to update this piece with any further information as it drops, so make sure to check back often.
