Voting worked by heading to EA's official website where you could select your TOTY for both Men's and Women's games. While the formation was already selected (4-1-2-3), you could choose from the players who have made it to the nominations round. This included the likes of Mo Salah, Lauren James, Phil Foden, Harry Kane, Lucy Bronze, Erling Haaland, Aitana Bonmati, Vini Jr and such.

From this, the votes will be counted and the most popular player in each position will make the squad alongside an amazing card as proof of that success. The links for each voting (now closed) can be found below:
