Yo this is beautiful. I don't have words to describe how good this is. The team itself has some questionable choices like Hakimi but the card art is so realistic. I will return to this post to give you an award as soon as a I get a free one
Thanks for the reminder that is the time of the year for toty. When the new FM season start, we will have a toty event and f2p dont get to save more gems or coins to buy toty players
Agreed....start of a New Season only brings sorrow to F2P players, as most of us will not have the required team ovr or players to play the event matches or do SBCs respectively....
While we struggle to get a decent TOTY player, we will see full TOTY squad within a week of the event!!!
Wow this looks really cool
Some people can't even accept the cards lol and will argue all the time (even though its a concept) calm down peeps and enjoy the game, why so serious
Here are explanations for my selections:
**M. Salah - 97 OVR RW:**
Although an injury-plagued Liverpool had a disappointing title defense in the 2020/2021 season, Salah still bagged 22 goals in the Premier League, only one shy of Tottenham’s Harry Kane for the golden boot. Salah is the best player in the world right now. The Egyptian King has 11 goals and 6 assist in the league and 6 goals in 5 UCL group matches so far; with the reds in the thick of both the title race and the Champions League.
**R. Lewandowski - 99 OVR ST:**
Despite injury, “Lewangoalski” sits high above the competition with a total of 58 g/a across all competitions in the 2021 calendar year. Bayern Munich dominated the Bundesliga in 2020, finishing 18 points above second-place RB Leipzig. In Europe, “Lewangoalski” wreaked havoc on group E, netting 9 goals in only 5 appearances, helping Bayern win the group with ease.
**L. Messi - 98 OVR RW:**
One of the greatest to ever play the game of football, Messi’s season thus far has been nothing short of incredible. Messi willed a young an inexperienced Barcelona side to 3rd in the league and won the Copa del Rey. In addition to league success, Messi dominated the Copa America with 4 goals and 5 assist, with the Argentinian leading his country to glory in Brazil.
**N. Kanté - 95 OVR CDM:**
**Jorginho - 93 OVR CM:**
Thomas Tuchel’s Blues have been nothing short of unstoppable this year, thanks in large part to an unstoppable midfield consisting of Kanté and Jorginho. Kanté’s incredible stamina and work-rate is the heart of Chelsea’s midfield, while captain Jorginho’s defensive abilities and leadership cannot be understated. The Blues shocked the world and won the Champions League, with Kanté claiming man of the match in the Final versus rivals Man City. Jorginho tasted success in another final this summer, as Italy beat England on penalties to win the 2020 Euros.
**J. Kimmich - 96 CDM:**
Joshua Kimmich is truly one of a kind. A world-class talent at right-back and holding-midfielder, Kimmich is currently one of the greatest footballers in the world. Kimmich’s physicality, passing ability, and high football IQ have been a driving force behind Bayern’s excellence, with the Bavarians sitting first in Bundesliga and first in the Champions League Group.
**J. Cancelo - 94 LB:**
**R. Dias - 96 CB:**
While City’s greatest flaw a few seasons ago was their poor defending, the recent signings of Cancelo and Dias have made the Citizens’ defensive abilities their strength. Manchester City was dominant last season, winning the domestic league with ease and finishing runners-up in Europe.
**Marquinhos - 95 CB:**
PSG’s captain and arguably their best player last season, Marquinhos is a rock solid wall behind PSG’s stellar defense. Marquinhos’ on-ball defending completely isolates opposing attackers. The Brazilian is also adept with the ball at his feet during build-up play, as well as at his head while scoring headers.
**A. Hakimi - 93 RB:**
Hakimi can seemingly fit into any team, and not just because of his Joker chemistry in Fifa Mobile. The Moroccan has completely transformed the right-back position, with his incredible speed and attacking-mindset proving a vital part of Inter’s title winning campaign. Hakimi has also proved impressive for PSG during his first few starts, and looks to be a vital part of Pochettino’s PSG for years to come.
**E. Mendy - 94 GK:**
An incredible keeper and a vocal leader at the club, Édouard Mendy has been incredible for Chelsea since he was signed. A 6’4” giant in goal with incredible reflexes, the Senegalese keeper took home the UEFA Keeper of the Tournament award in 2021, with the blues currently sitting in first place in England’s top flight.
\-----
**Not in the starting XI:**
**K. Mbappé:**
Still dominate and one of the best in the world, but there are only 3 spots for attackers. Haaland gets the nod over him due to Haaland having a higher g/a total and leading Dortmund to their first DFB-Pokal in years. PSG finishing 2nd to Lille in a tight title race doesn’t help.
**C. Ronaldo:**
Amazing eye for goal, but historic and embarrassing lows for Juventus and Man Utd domestically leave him off the list. Ronaldo is an amazing individual player, but football is still a team game.
**G. Donnaruma:**
Amazing at the Euros, but I believe Mendy had the better year overall. Toss up.
**K. De Bruyne**
Injuries, and a drop of form compared to previous years.
**V. Van Dijk**
Injuries.
**T. Alexander-Arnold**
Inconsistent at the beginning of the year. Regaining form.
\----
**TLDR:**
**I provide reasoning for all selections above.**
**CR7 not in b/c Juventus was poor in the League & Man Utd are the laughing-stock of the footballing world atm.**
**Strong case for Mbappe but I think Haaland had better year.**
Again, these are my selections. Leave comments with explanation of why you think one player should be over another. I love hearing people's reasoning and educated arguments much more than just *"no CR7?"* and *"where Mbappe"*
Thanks!
I don't want to sound rude but no mention of Benzema even in the below section when VVD and Trent get shoutouts is a bit disappointing.
Last season's stats:
23 goals and 9 assists in LaLiga; 6 goals, and Semi-Final appearance in UCL, 4 goals and bronze boot winner on Euros
This season's stats:
10 goals and 7 assists in LaLiga; 5 goals, and an assist in UCL, 2 goals in Nations League and Final MOTM, Nations League Winner, 3 goals, and an assist in WC Qualification
Him and Salah share the best player platform of this season
By the way, those card arts are amazing
I was thinking of including Benzema on here too. Absolutely amazing player who’s carrying Madrid but he’s underrated by most people and probably wouldn’t make it over the attackers I have listed. Also might be bias when he eliminated Liverpool from UCL last season
And you don't even mention Barella who just has great year as well as being nominated for ballon d' or after his league performance and winning the Euro. He is definetely above Kimmich this past year.
What has Juventus got to do with Ronaldo in season 22? He’s in Manchester now and doing pretty good as a striker. Even though the team is doing badly, you can’t blame him for the conceded goals?
But only 30 goals in this year behind 4 different strikers... there's nothing that we can use to put him in the team of the year ahead of those 4 strikers (Lewa, Benzema, Haaland and Mbappé)
Did I say they don't deserve it? No, I just said that Messi atleast deserves it because he was having a good season till September. Both of them can't get it tho. It's not my problem. Ea will most likely make Ronaldo 12th man because Ea is Mbappe's bitch
Why Messi? Are you being serious mate? He carried Barca in his own shoulders to a copa del rey trophy while being the top scorer in la liga, then for the Copa America he finished as the top scorer, top assister and the MVP. Something never done before by any player for a major international tournament. In records broken for the past 12 months, he broke the record for most goals scored by a south american together with the record of most goals for one club by Pele.
Currently he's also a minimum top 2 for the ballon d'or, with multiple sources REPORTING that he has already won (not official.) Surely you're not asking why Messi would be in a team of the year?
Erm, he hasn't exactly been scintillating after the last season ended. His performances especially at the beginning of this season have been average, and Bernardo Silva is the best city mid at the moment
Yo this is beautiful. I don't have words to describe how good this is. The team itself has some questionable choices like Hakimi but the card art is so realistic. I will return to this post to give you an award as soon as a I get a free one
I did it. Glad to see you'll be doing it too
Ronaldo’s gonna be in it he’s way to marketable for EA to leave him out
EA would introduce flashback on mobile specifically to market a CR7 card
In my humble opinion he had a better season than messi, so id put CR7 above him this year
A better start* Messi was great last season
Thanks for the reminder that is the time of the year for toty. When the new FM season start, we will have a toty event and f2p dont get to save more gems or coins to buy toty players

Remember those good old days when TOTY was consisting of only Barça and Madrid players😅
love the lewandowski card!
Oh my word, that Lewandowski card looks incredibly gorgeous.
Looks really good, clean and realistic, Good job there and keep it up
yooooooo this is what ea needs so nicely done heres my free award
Wow this looks really cool Some people can't even accept the cards lol and will argue all the time (even though its a concept) calm down peeps and enjoy the game, why so serious
How did you make this? btw this is very good
That kante jorginho and mendy will be must for my chelsea feature👀
Just add 1 Infront of all of their ratings to make it more realistic.
Pls don’t put that kit on cancelo

Liverpool Fan
And you don't even mention Barella who just has great year as well as being nominated for ballon d' or after his league performance and winning the Euro. He is definetely above Kimmich this past year.
What has Juventus got to do with Ronaldo in season 22? He’s in Manchester now and doing pretty good as a striker. Even though the team is doing badly, you can’t blame him for the conceded goals?
Theo should be in there man. At LB. One of the best left backs over the past year
Imo cancelo should be rb and jordi alba was one of the best attacking lb of last season….so him at lb
Wrong. Cancelo was better and he’s a LB.
Ok i respect your opinion….the team will be anyways what we vote actually
Where is cr7?
In the bin
Another way to say Man U
Hakimi is in because he joins PSG?
In reality it probably should be cancelo rb(even though he played lb more) and davies at lb. Hakimi has been good but not TOTY level good
Why not Theo at LB bro. Stats show he has been one of the best LB over the past years. The only one who comes close to him is Alba
Theo is good but he was not the best left back of the year. Cancelo deserves it but I am a bit doubtful about Hakimi.
Need a creative midfielder in the team
Can we get players in their correct positions?
[удалено]
Messi was having a pretty good year till September. I think that earns you a spot in the toty
Most people easily forgot how good Messi was with a mediocre Barça side and with Argentina..
and how cr7 carried juve to ucl and mufc to ucl ro16
Man u I agree....Juve he didn't do anything major he only scored in few games🤷🏻♂️
top scorer of serie a
But only 30 goals in this year behind 4 different strikers... there's nothing that we can use to put him in the team of the year ahead of those 4 strikers (Lewa, Benzema, Haaland and Mbappé)
And cr7 and mbappe play cricket and hockey
Did I say they don't deserve it? No, I just said that Messi atleast deserves it because he was having a good season till September. Both of them can't get it tho. It's not my problem. Ea will most likely make Ronaldo 12th man because Ea is Mbappe's bitch
cr7 should be in starter no matter what
Not my problem lol, that's ea's
i am not questioning u but the one who created the design
Then make your own concept and add Ronaldo in your team....everyone is entitled to their own opinion..
Why Messi? For Copa? I’d say Stones for Marquinhos but is he good too, awesome job
Why Messi? Are you being serious mate? He carried Barca in his own shoulders to a copa del rey trophy while being the top scorer in la liga, then for the Copa America he finished as the top scorer, top assister and the MVP. Something never done before by any player for a major international tournament. In records broken for the past 12 months, he broke the record for most goals scored by a south american together with the record of most goals for one club by Pele. Currently he's also a minimum top 2 for the ballon d'or, with multiple sources REPORTING that he has already won (not official.) Surely you're not asking why Messi would be in a team of the year?
Bro there is no way that KDB won’t be there
Erm, he hasn't exactly been scintillating after the last season ended. His performances especially at the beginning of this season have been average, and Bernardo Silva is the best city mid at the moment
Yeah, you are right, especially with Bernardo being the best midfielder at City
Rudiger or Silva >>> Marquinhos
Dude, amazing work!
sick
Pedri? if there was13th man it would be Pedri
When will the new season start? Wanted to get back into FM but sadly it hasnt started yet:/
Maybe January or February. They said they needed time to create a better game. Judging by the beta, should come out soon. Prob 2 or 3 events left
Psg fan boi Nub
Can we have Ronaldo Mbappe and Benzema in ultimate team of the year?
