The Team of the Year (TOTY) Warm-Up promo has officially kicked off in FIFA Ultimate Team (FUT), setting the stage for one of the most anticipated events of the year. This appetizer promo is all about building hype, saving packs, and preparing for the grand TOTY event that starts on Friday. Here’s everything you need to know about the content, SBCs, objectives, market trends, and leaks surrounding the TOTY Warm-Up promo.
What is the TOTY Warm-Up Promo?
The TOTY Warm-Up promo serves as a preparatory phase leading up to the release of the full Team of the Year squad. During this event, EA introduces SBCs and objectives designed to help players stack valuable packs in anticipation of TOTY player cards entering packs. Although no promo cards will be available in packs during this period, the focus is on completing SBCs and objectives to save up for the big event.
In addition to this, the Numeral Foot promo cards are officially leaving packs, marking the end of the week-and-a-half-long event. These special cards, alongside SBCs and objectives, have now paved the way for new TOTY-focused content.

SBCs and Objectives: What to Expect
As part of the TOTY Warm-Up, EA has added several exciting SBCs and objectives. A key focus is the return of familiar TOTY-themed packs like the 83+ x5 Defenders, Midfielders, and Attackers packs, which were hugely popular last year. These packs are designed to be saved and opened when TOTY cards hit the game, maximizing your chances of pulling a TOTY player.
For example, the 83+ x5 Attacker Pack leaked as part of today’s SBC lineup reportedly requires an 84-rated squad, with one 87+ rated player included. EA has historically followed a similar pattern with the requirements for Midfielder and Defender packs as well. Investing in 83-rated, 84-rated, and 85-rated fodder now could pay off as prices are expected to rise due to increased demand for completing these SBCs.
Additionally, a daily login upgrade SBC is returning for TOTY, allowing players to claim bigger rewards by logging in every day. These daily login SBCs have become a fan-favorite feature in previous promos, offering consistent rewards for minimal effort.
Key SBCs to Watch for Today:
- 83+ x5 Attacker, Midfielder, and Defender Packs
- Potential 83 x10 or 82 x14 upgrade packs
- Player SBCs, including rumored flashback players
EA has also included tradable packs as rewards for some SBCs, allowing players to potentially offset their costs by selling items they pack, such as high-rated fodder or rare cards.
Market Trends and Investment Tips
With the TOTY Warm-Up promo in full swing, the FIFA market continues to experience significant fluctuations. Prices for cards across the board have dropped, with many popular meta players seeing their lowest prices in recent weeks. However, as TOTY approaches, certain cards may start to rise in value, particularly those that are rare, meta, or part of investment trends.
For example, Winter Wildcards like Declan Rice, who boasts two PlayStyle+ traits, are expected to see demand rise during TOTY. Similarly, players like James Maddison from the NumeroFUT promo have been used in Evolution upgrades, causing their prices to increase as they leave packs.
Key Investment Tips:
- Fodder Investments: Focus on 83, 84, and 85-rated cards, as they are commonly required for TOTY SBCs. Higher-rated cards like 86 and 87-rated players could also see spikes if SBCs demand them.
- Rare Meta Cards: Invest in cards that are likely to remain popular after TOTY. For example, cards like Winter Wildcards Vini Jr. and Graham Hansen have proven to be strong investments due to their high demand and usability.
- Monitor Leaks: Keep an eye on leaks for TOTY players, SBCs, and objectives. This information can help you make informed investment decisions and anticipate market movements.
Leaks and Rumors: What’s on the Horizon?
The TOTY Warm-Up promo has already seen several leaks hinting at upcoming content. Here are some of the highlights:
- TOTY-themed Evolutions: Rumors suggest that Evolutions linked to TOTY objectives, such as drafts and daily play events, are on the way.
- TOTY Daily Login Objectives: Completing daily login objectives is expected to reward players with additional packs and other valuable rewards.
- Massive SBCs: Icon SBCs for players like Patrick Vieira and Jaap Stam are rumored to be arriving soon, potentially as early as today.
Additionally, leaks have suggested that more TOTY-focused packs will be added to the code, including packs similar to those seen during last year’s TOTY event. Players can expect to see further details and loading screens as EA builds up the hype for Friday’s launch.
Final Preparation for TOTY
As TOTY Warm-Up progresses, players should focus on building their pack inventories, completing daily SBCs and objectives, and making smart investments in the market. Remember that TOTY is one of the most competitive promos in FUT, with some of the best cards of the year entering packs.
