Team of the Season is winding down, and that means just one thing ⁠— the promo’s crown jewel, the “Ultimate” lineup, has finally arrived. Here’s everything we know so far, from early FUT leaks, to predictions, when the last squad will drop, and more.

FIFA 21’s illustrious Team of the Season promo is nearly over.

We’ve already seen mouthwatering squads for the Premier League, La Liga, Ligue 1, Bundesliga, Serie A, and more, but EA SPORTS have saved the best ‘til last.

Now we have the super-charged “Ultimate” lineup ⁠— the pièce de résistance of Team of the Season every year. In one final farewell to the blue-soaked FUT promo, EA SPORTS has crammed all the best cards from the past few weeks into one amazing team, and re-released them as the crown jewel of the end-of-year FIFA event.

The biggest stars like Cristiano Ronaldo, Lionel Messi, cover star Kylian Mbappe, and more are all right here, so read on for the full lineup.

Early Ultimate TOTS leaks

Twitter and Reddit were quiet in terms of Team of the Season leaks for the last squad. Popular insiders like @KingLangpard and our own dataminer @FutWatch had tipped lineups early all promo long, however, there didn’t seem to be anything that slipped through the cracks this time.

One insider on Twitter, the @FUTMentor, revealed early that the team was officially dropping in-game on Friday, not exactly the juiciest of leaks, but hey, at least it was something!

EA SPORTS has also updated the FUT loading screen to confirm the release date.

Our Ultimate TOTS predictions

As expected, we received a 15-man squad, like all TOTS lineups so far.

Knowing EA SPORTS, most of the players will be picked because of their high ratings and relative Ultimate Team popularity. This is the “Ultimate” team, after all; it’s chock full of the stars FIFA 21 players love and want to get their hands on.

The final lineup was definitely a little less forward-heavy, but we actually didn’t do too bad of a job predicting who would make the cut this time around, we did miss Bamba and dr Vrij, but overall, we correctly called a majority of the cards.
