11. Alisson Becker
- Club: Liverpool
- Position: Goalkeeper (GK)
- Nationality: Brazilian
Alisson Becker proved to be an impenetrable force for Liverpool during the 2022/2023 season, playing a pivotal role in securing a European spot for his team. His exceptional performances in the 2023/2024 season, marked by crucial saves, significantly contributed to Liverpool's point tally.
The Brazilian goalkeeper is a strong contender for Team of the Year honors, alongside other standout goalkeepers like Ederson, Marc-André ter Stegen, and Emiliano Martínez.
10. Theo Hernández
- Club: AC Milan
- Position: Left Back (LB)
- Nationality: French
Theo Hernández stands out among the few top-quality left backs in contemporary football. Since joining AC Milan in 2019, he has consistently been a dependable player, notably influential in attacking movements down the left flank.
Given the scarcity of exceptional left backs, Hernández is expected to retain his spot in the Team of the Year from the previous season, owing to his remarkable speed that poses a threat to opposing defenders.
9. Rúben Dias
- Club: Manchester City
- Position: Centre Back (CB)
- Nationality: Portuguese
Rúben Dias played a vital role in Manchester City's historic treble-winning season, anchoring their defense and minimizing goals conceded. His stellar performances throughout 2023 solidified his position as one of the best defenders.
The Portuguese center back is almost certain to secure a spot in EA Sports FC 24's Team of the Year, with expectations of a high-rated card that might redefine defensive play.
8. Ronald Araujo
- Club: FC Barcelona
- Position: Centre Back (CB)
- Nationality: Uruguayan
Ronald Araujo emerges as a potential candidate for the other center back position in the Team of the Year. His defensive prowess was instrumental in FC Barcelona's clean sheet record during the 2022/2023 season, culminating in the club clinching the league title after a three-year gap.
Although some might argue for John Stones, Araujo remains a favorite due to his consistent performances in 2023.
7. Trent Alexander-Arnold
- Club: Liverpool
- Position: Right Back (RB)
- Nationality: English
Trent Alexander-Arnold is a prime contender for EA Sports FC 24's TOTY right-back spot. Alongside him, Kyle Walker and Achraf Hakimi are close contenders, and the final selection among these three will depend on voting results.
The English youngster's impactful crosses and scoring ability have been pivotal for Liverpool, continuing his impressive form into the 2023/2024 season.
6. Rodri
- Club: Manchester City
- Position: Central Defensive Midfielder (CDM)
- Nationality: Spanish
Rodri's presence was indispensable for Manchester City, contributing significantly to their successful season. His pivotal goal secured the club's maiden UEFA Champions League title.
His absence on the field was palpable, underlining his crucial role in the team. Given his consistent performances throughout 2023, Rodri is a near-certain inclusion in the TOTY lineup.
5. Jude Bellingham
- Club: Real Madrid
- Position: Central Midfielder/Attacking Midfielder (CM/CAM)
- Nationality: English
Jude Bellingham's impactful performances since joining Real Madrid have made him an integral part of Los Blancos. His exceptional displays at Borussia Dortmund also played a significant role in their commendable Bundesliga run.
If featured in EA Sports FC 24's Ultimate Team TOTY, Bellingham is likely to assume the role of a central or attacking midfielder, potentially receiving a high rating of 95 or 96.
4. Kevin De Bruyne
- Club: Manchester City
- Position: Central Attacking Midfielder (CAM)
- Nationality: Belgian
Kevin De Bruyne, akin to Rúben Dias and Rodri, was pivotal for Manchester City's success, consistently delivering exceptional performances. Despite facing a few injuries, the Belgian playmaker's creativity significantly impacted Manchester City's attacking prowess.
De Bruyne's regular presence in the TOTY promo is expected to continue, reflecting his influential role over the past half-decade.
3. Lionel Messi
- Club: Inter Miami
- Position: Centre Forward/Right Winger (CF/RW)
- Nationality: Argentine
Lionel Messi's potential inclusion in EA Sports FC 24's Team of the Year is highly anticipated. Despite some contention regarding his performances in 2023, as the current Ballon d'Or winner, his omission from the Final XI would seem unjustifiable.
This appearance might mark Messi's final inclusion in the TOTY, following his move to Inter Miami, making future appearances improbable.
2. Kylian Mbappé
- Club: Paris Saint-Germain
- Position: Left Winger/Striker (LW/ST)
- Nationality: French
Post the Messi-Ronaldo era, Kylian Mbappé has emerged as one of the world's best players, showcasing exceptional performances both at club and international levels. His dominance in Ligue 1, albeit considered less competitive, remains unquestionable.
Given Mbappé's stellar 2023 performances, his spot in the Team of the Year forward section is highly anticipated, albeit with hopes that his card's attributes don't overpower the game's dynamics.
1. Erling Haaland
- Club: Manchester City
- Position: Striker (ST)
- Nationality: Norwegian
Erling Haaland proved to be the missing piece for Pep Guardiola's Manchester City, contributing significantly to their UEFA Champions League victory in his debut season. His exceptional performance saw him contend for the Ballon d'Or, narrowly missing out to Lionel Messi due to the FIFA 2022 World Cup.
Haaland is highly likely to receive the highest-rated Team of the Year card, anticipated to boast a rating of 97 or 98. His attributes combining pace, shooting, and physicality make him a formidable force in the box.
