FIFA 19 TOTY
What is the FIFA 19 TOTY Promotion?
Every year since FUT 12, in early January, Electronic Arts build a team of players based on their real performance on the previous year. Before FIFA 18, the players of this TOTY were selected from the voting of FIFPro, the world wide professional footballers association, and announced in the Best FIFA Football Awards Gala. However, since last year things have changed and that selection is now made by the FIFA community and Electronic Arts.
During the FIFA 19 TOTY Promotion, Electronic Arts releases several FUT pack offers, themed cards, kits and squad building challenges. Details on FIFA 19 TOTY offers will be updated below.

FIFA 19 TOTY Cards Rules
How the FIFA 19 TOTY Cards Work
The TOTY cards are assigned to a selection of eleven players. Based on what happened last year, these are the official rules we expect to see this year:
RULE 1
AVAILABILITY
FIFA 19 TOTY cards become available in packs for a full week. During this period, they replace the corresponding regular not coloured cards. In other words, it is not possible to find a regular card of a TOTY player during this week.
1.1. If you own the regular card of a TOTY player, your card will keep unchanged. If you want the new version, you will need to buy the corresponding version in the market or pull it from a pack in that month.
1.2. Your odds of pulling a TOTY card from a pack are exactly the same ones of pulling the day 1 card of that player in another time.
RULE 2
RATINGS AND STATS
During this week, the best players of the year will be released in packs with upgraded ratings as unique items. The ratings and stats of these cards are permanent. They don’t change.
2.1. The TOTY release doesn’t affect Ones to Watch or UCL Live cards.
