The TOTY squads for both men and women will be unveiled on Jan. 15, three days after the virtual voting booths have been closed.
Traditionally, the announcement is followed by the release of the TOTY Strikers and TOTY Icons Team 1 one day later. TOTY Midfielders and TOTY Defenders + Goalkeepers usually follow them in two-day intervals with a second TOTY Icons release accompanying the defense. After another two-day window, EA Sports should be releasing the full TOTY squad in all its glory, once again making its members available to players.
Meanwhile, the vote for the 12th Man and 12th Woman will begin on Jan. 17 and remain open until Jan. 20. The 12th Man and Woman will be released on Jan. 23 -- presumably along with the TOTY Honorable Mentions, if EA follows its traditional playbook.
