In January 2019, EA agreed to stop selling FIFA points in Belgium, following government pressure. FUT was surrounded by controversy due to it being classified as a loot box and a source of online gambling. Ultimate Team sees the addition of a co-op gameplay feature in the form of Division Rivals, Squad Battles and Friendlies with a friend online to unlock objectives and rewards. Jens Lehmann was not featured as an icon in FUT 21 compared to previous games. The ultimate XI players and their skill cards are then bundled into special digital 'packs' along with a variety of other coveted consumable items, which FUT players can purchase over an eight-day period to strengthen their teams and bolster their chances of glory.Ultimate Team features 100 icon players, including 11 new names: Eric Cantona, Petr ДЊech, Ashley Cole, Samuel Eto'o, Philipp Lahm, Ferenc PuskГЎs, Bastian Schweinsteiger, Davor Е uker, Fernando Torres, Nemanja VidiД‡, and Xavi all feature as icons for the first time. The TOTY finalists - as voted for by fans around the world - all receive in-game boosts to their stats, improving their value in the game for the rest of the year. The FIFA Team of the Year (TOTY) is an annual event in FIFA's Ultimate Team (FUT) game mode, in which the best real-world players from the past 12 months are celebrated.

Other big-name nominees to miss the cut are 2020 Champions League finalist Neymar, Mohamed Salah, Erling Haaland, Romelu Lukaku and Son Heung-Min, who recently won the Puskas Award for goal of the year. The two members of the FIFPro11 to miss out on inclusion in the Ultimate Team TOTY are Messi and Thiago Alcantara (now of Liverpool), who was included on the 70-man short list but was beaten by Manchester United rival Bruno Fernandes to a berth in the final XI. The Ultimate Team TOTY tends to mirror the FIFPro World11, with Davies, Trent Alexander-Arnold, Sergio Ramos, Virgil van Dijk, Kevin De Bruyne, Joshua Kimmich, Lewandowski, and Ronaldo all featuring in both this year. Three of the Bayern quartet were also included in the FIFA FIFPro Men's World11, announced as part of The Best FIFA Football Awards at the start of the month, though Alisson pipped Neuer to the No.

You may not be surprised to learn that four members of Bayern Munich's all-conquering Treble-winning team have found their way into the TOTY - Lewandowski, Davies, Joshua Kimmich and goalkeeper Manuel Neuer. #TOTY #FIFA21 /vQFiDwckSq- EA SPORTS FIFA January 22, 2021 Over 10 million votes from 185 countries.

ESPN+ viewer's guide: Bundesliga, Serie A, MLS, FA Cup and more The FIFA 21 Team of the Year (TOTY) voting process began earlier this month as game producers EA Sports invited fans all around the world to select their favourite XI from a short list of 70 nominees - all players who had excelled in real-world football over the past 12 months.
