EA FC 25 TOTS Schedule Shocker: League 1 Comes First, In a surprise move, EA has officially flipped the traditional Team of the Season (TOTS) release schedule on its head for EA Sports FC 25. Rather than starting with the Community or Premier League squads, EA is kicking off TOTS with League 1, D1 Arkema, and Eredivisie. This unexpected reveal, confirmed on EA’s official TOTS page, changes the dynamics for content grinders and market investors alike.
Why is League 1 TOTS launching first in EA FC 25 TOTS Schedule Shocker
Traditionally, the Community or Premier League TOTS squads serve as the curtain-raiser for EA’s biggest annual promo. But in EA FC 25, League 1 will take center stage from April 25th. The reasoning behind this shift remains speculative, but several theories have emerged:
- Redemption arc: EA could be attempting to correct last year’s League 1 TOTS fiasco where pack weight glitches led to extreme market volatility involving players like Kylian Mbappé and Ousmane Dembélé.
- Boosting early hype: Kicking off with PSG-heavy lineups ensures a high-profile and highly meta selection of players right out the gate.
- Promo pacing: Starting strong may help sustain player engagement across the 6+ weeks of the TOTS promo.
Full EA FC 25 TOTS schedule revealed
EA has laid out the entire roadmap for TOTS, and it spans from April 25 to June 6. Here’s how the promo will roll out:
- April 25: League 1, D1 Arkema, Eredivisie
- May 2: Premier League
- May 9: Bundesliga
- May 16: Serie A
- May 23: La Liga, Liga Portugal, Liga F
- May 30: Saudi Pro League, MLS
- June 6: Ultimate TOTS
This structure confirms a few key things: there will be no Community TOTS this year, and players like Cristiano Ronaldo (SPL) and Lionel Messi (MLS) are set to drop at the same time, which will generate massive interest from both fans and traders alike.
Voting for Premier League TOTS already live
Despite Premier League TOTS not being the first release, voting has already begun. EA has opened community voting for the Premier League squad, allowing fans to choose between players like Mohamed Salah and Son Heung-min. While some voters opt for realism, others simply pick their favorites for Ultimate Team usability. EA’s TOTS voting page combines both EA’s and the community’s votes, so expect a mix of merit and popularity.
Players who don’t make the starting XI still have a shot as honorable mentions. These use a slightly different card design—gold accents swapped out for silver-blue hues—and may carry decent upgrades even if they aren’t top-tier meta.
Upcoming SBCs and evolutions during TOTS Warm-Up
Before the official TOTS drop, EA is running a “TOTS Warm-Up” promo filled with content. According to credible leakers like FutSheriff and FootPolice, we can expect:
- Drogba ICON SBC: Featuring Quick Step, Aerial, and Low Driven playstyles. This could arrive as early as Friday.
- Christian Eriksen Flashback SBC: A nod to his FIFA 19 TOTS card with updated agility and balance.
- Showdown SBC: Ansu Fati vs. Arda Güler for the Copa del Rey final.
Several evolution paths are also being leaked, including a 90 OVR max right-mid Evo with five-star skills and Finesse Shot+. This has already impacted the market with players like Caroline Graham Hansen rising from 40K to over 55K overnight.
What to expect during rewards and market trends
With Division Rivals rewards dropping today, players face a choice: save or open? The current climate suggests opening rewards to fuel SBC completions, especially with SBCs like Drogba and Eriksen looming. If you’re holding 84-88 fodder or cheap informs like Matteo Guendouzi or Jamie Vardy, now may be a good exit point or investment opportunity before prices potentially rebound.
Moreover, the leaked pack code for TOTS Warm-Up includes:
- 86×5 Pack
- Best of Campaign Grab Bag
- TOTS Guarantee Pack
- 93 Max TOTS Guarantee Pack
- 100 Players Equalizer Pack
This means fodder will likely remain in high demand, especially if daily login and crafting objectives return similar to previous promos.
