EA Sports has at last announced their plans for the games Team of the Year squad, based on the best footballers of 2018.
For the second year in the row, the Team of The Year will be voted on by a carefully curated list of media, athletes and EA SPORTS FIFA community members to decide which players from the 55 nominees will be chosen for the Ultimate XI.
Further details of which you can find underneath courtesy of EA Sports.
"This collective of ballot recipients has been chosen to represent the millions of EA SPORTS FIFA players all over the world. Each team will be selected from a shortlist of 55 players, nominated by EA SPORTS for their real-world performance in 2018", explained EA Sports.
For those wanting more specifics, the FIFA 18 TOTY will consist of three attackers, three midfielders, four defenders and one goalkeeper in a 4-3-3 formation.
Like last year, EA Sports has decided that the final decision will be made based on the ballot votes, which account for 60 per cent of the total vote, with the remaining 40% of the vote cast by EA SPORTS.
"The final Team of the Year will be announced starting on January 7, with special TOTY player items available in packs for a limited time in FIFA 19 Ultimate Team"
You can see which players have been shortlisted for each position, just below the trailer.

• Aguero

• Griezmann
• Hazard
• Kane
• Lewandowski
• Mandzukic
• Neymar Jr
• Mbappe

FIFA 19 TOTY Market Crash
It's pretty obvious, but every FIFA 19 player will want these very special new cards for their Ultimate Team squad.
However, the only way players can go about doing that is through the market or pulling it from a pack when it is available.
Because of this, there should be an influx of pack openings from FIFA 19 players, which should increase the supply of cards on the FUT transfer market.
So, at some point, we should expect to see a market crash in the game with prices for some top tier players spiralling as players offload their unwanted FUT cards.
For some further advice though, we would certainly suggest watching Chu Boi's video above, which explains not just his predictions for FIFA 19 TOTY but also how players can best prepare for the TOTY release.
