fifa 18 community tots predictions

which players in the must-consistent selection will join the team of the season? the official team is on the verge of release, but big fifa sides are already making their predictions as to which players deserve a place in the tots.

this prediction is not 100% consistent with ea's tots, but gives a good overview of which players could join the team. especially with a fan voting, however, it is extremely difficult to make forecasts, since very few fans vote for performance, but rather for personal preference.

what is the team of the season exactly?

team of the season (tds) - or better known as the team of the season (tots) - is the biggest event in ultimate team for most fifa gamers. many players receive a greatly upgraded, blue special card during this time.

more than 400 player cards get in fut 18 probably a tots version. the reason for this is that a lot of teams are released, all of them containing 23 players - in the team of the year (toty), however, it is only a single 11-man selection.

the rating of the players usually rises by 5 to 9 points - with the top stars of the big leagues it can come so well to ratings in the high 90s range. the basis for the selection is the performance in the 2017/2018 season - with toty, however, the entire calendar year 2017 was used for the evaluation.

while the big top leagues are usually in sets for a week, smaller ones often come in packs for only three days.

otherwise, the tots cards behave like informs: if you do not want to wait until you draw a card from sets, you can purchase them on the transfer market. meanwhile, the normal gold versions of the players do not pull.
