FC 24 TOTS: Upcoming squads and rewards explained

Thanks to the launch of the Premier League TOTS, we now know that upgraded cards are available for Bukayo Saka, Erling Haaland, Virgil van Dijk, and many more.

It's not only the men's team that will be contested, either, with Sam Kerr, Keira Walsh, Aitana Bonmatí, Mary Earps and more all likely going head-to-head.

With many more reveals still to come, there's plenty to be excited about during this year's TOTS festivities.

Here's everything you need to know about the EA FC 24 TOTS schedule, confirmed players, and more.

When is FC 24 TOTS? Release date confirmed

The FC 24 TOTS release date began on 19th April 2024, with the Live Team of the Season squad dropping into the game at 6pm BST for players in the UK.

On top of this, the full schedule of FC 24 TOTS squads for every league will follow as such:

• Premier League – In-game as of 26th April
  
• Women's Super League – In-game as of 26th April
  
• Mixed League – 26th April to 31st May
• Bundesliga – 3rd May
• Frauen Bundesliga – 3rd May
• Ligue 1 – 10th May
• D1 Arkema – 10th May
• La Liga – 17th May
• Liga F – 17th May
• Seria A – 24th May
• NWSL – 24th May
• Ultimate – 31st May

You can find the full list of revealed TOTS players and squads over on the official EA website.

How to take part in FC 24 community vote

Community voting has always been a big part of TOTS, but this year's Team of the Season vote seems to be a smaller deal than usual.

Voting for the Bundesliga Team of the Season has already been and gone. Some players that were up for consideration included Bayern Munich’s Harry Kane, Leverkusen’s Granit Xhaka and RB Leipzig’s Xavi Simons.

To take part in the vote, players needed to head to FC 24’s official webpage. However, it now looks like voting has closed on the Bundesliga action, and EA doesn't seem to have started any other voting to follow on from this.

With no concrete announcement having been made about further voting, it looks like players may have only been allowed to help decide the Bundesliga squad this year. If any other votes are opened in future, we'll update this page as soon as we can.

If any further voting does happen, we'd expect it to be wrapped up by the middle of May, considering the last day of the Premier League season is 19th May 2024 - and the final announcements are normally out before the Champions League final, this year on 1st June 2024.

Information will surface on EA Sports FC 24’s social accounts before anywhere else. So if you want to be in the know, then monitoring the likes of X and Facebook is likely the best bet.

FC 24 TOTS cards: Which players are in the first Live squad?

From men's football, the first Live TOTS squad in Ultimate Team includes these players...

• Kai Havertz (Arsenal/Germany) - CM, 92
• John McGinn (Aston Villa/Scotland) - CM, 90
• Piero Hincapié (Bayer 04 Leverkusen/Ecuador) - CB, 90
• Raphinha (FC Barcelona/Brazil) - RW, 91
• Matthieu Udol (FC Metz/France) - DG, 90
• Antonee Robinson (Fulham/United States) - LB, 90
• Yann Aurel Bisseck (Inter/Germany) - CB, 91
• Dominik Szoboszlai (Liverpool/Hungary) - CM, 90
• Jérémy Doku (Manchester City/Belgium) - LW, 92
• Bruno Fernandes (Manchester United/Portugal) - CAM, 90
• Ruben Loftus-Cheek (Milan/England) - CAM, 92
• Jonathan Clauss (Olympique de Marseille/France) - RB, 91
• David Costa (RC Lens/Portugal) - CF, 88
• Lucas Vázquez (Real Madrid/Spain) - LD, 91
• Luka Modrić (Real Madrid/Croatia) - CM, 94
• Mikel Merino (Real Sociedad/Spain) - CM, 90
• Cristian Romero (Tottenham Hotspur/Argentina) - CB, 92
• Maximilian Beier (Hoffenheim/Germany) - ST, 89
• Mohammed Kudus (West Ham/Ghana) - RM, 92
• Nicolás Otamendi (Benfica/Argentina) - CB, 89
• Ben Sheaf (Coventry City/England) - CDM, 89
• Allan Saint-Maximin (Al Ahli/France) - LM, 91
• Wilfried Zaha (Galatasaray/Ivory Coast) - LW, 91
• Rafa Mújica (Arouca/Spain) - ST, 88
• Gabri Veiga (Al Ahli/Spain) - CM, 90

And from women's football, the following players have been selected for the first Live TOTS squad:

• Laia Aleixandri (Manchester City/Spain) - CB, 91
• Leicy Santos (Atlético de Madrid/Colombia) - CAM, 91
• Mara Alber (Hoffenheim/Germany) - RW, 88
• Morgan Weaver (Portland Thorns/United States) - LW, 89
• Elisabeth Terland (Brighton/Norway) - ST, 90
• Mayra Ramírez (Levante UD/Chelsea/Colombia) - ST, 91
• Adriana (Orlando Pride/Brazil) - ST, 89

It's worth noting that a lot of the official artwork specifically highlights the term 'EFIGS Leagues', which refers to the top leagues in world football: England, France, Italy, Germany and Spain.

That goes some way to explaining why certain players, like Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, do not feature in the squad. They are both playing in leagues outside of the EFIGS elite right now.

As for why some players within EFIGS have been snubbed — including Erling Haaland, Jude Bellingham and Harry Kane — your guess is as good as ours! Data seems to be a big deal this year, so we certainly hope to see those high fliers in upcoming squads.

Before this, the TOTS Warmup line-up included:

• CM: Aitana Bonmatí (FC Barcelona Femení)
• LW: Kylian Mbappé (Paris Saint-Germain)
• ST: Karim Benzema (Al-Ittihad)
• ST: Victor Osimhen (Napoli)
• RM: Kadidiatou Diani (Lyonnais Féminin)
• ST: Vinicius Jr (Real Madrid)
• GK: Marc-Andre Ter Stegen (Barcelona)
• CF: Paolo Dybala (Roma)
• CB: Wendie Renard (Lyon Féminin)
• GK: Gianluigi Donnaruma (Paris Saint-Germain)
• ST: Angel Correa (Atletico Madrid)
• CAM: Mario Götze (Frankfurt)
• CB: Alessandro Bastoni (Inter)
• CM: Matthew O'Riley (Celtic)
• LM: Rafael Leão (Milan)
• CB: Matthijs de Ligt (Bayern Munich)
• LWB: Alejandro Grimaldo (Bayer Leverkusen)
• CAM: Vivianne Miedema (Arsenal Women)

We'll keep bringing you updates as and when the information is released!

EA FC 24 TOTS rewards explained

The Live TOTS is a new feature for 2024, which includes players whose performances in the real world will affect their rating in the game week to week during the final stretch of the season.

Each will feature a "bespoke TOTS Item Shell design". To receive an upgrade, a player must win twice in the next four league games, or the player's club scores eight goals in the same duration. This will kick off on 19th April 2024.

Triple PlayStyles is another new factor, first applying to the Live TOTS. These items will boost existing players with three-times PlayStyles, making them better on the ball.
