The biggest FIFA Ultimate Team event of the year is officially underway.
90-rated Sergio Busquets, 89-rated Claudio Marchisio get FIFA 16’s Team of the Season off to a scorching start
TOTS is finally upon us.
Encompassing at least six weeks, the Ultimate Team Teams of the Season (or TOTS) begin their roll out in packs Friday at 6 p.m. BST (1 p.m. ET).
The first Team of the Season is the FIFA Community selected “Most Consistent Without an Inform” group. These players, picked by members of the official EA Sports FIFA forums, were the most consistently outstanding in their respective leagues without having had a single week performance great enough to merit their inclusion in one of Ultimate Team’s weekly Teams of the Week.
Amongst the highlights in the first release, is a 90-rated CDM Sergio Busquets from Barcelona card. Busquets has been a defensive midfield stalwart for the defending Champions League champs for the better part of two season with little to show for it in FIFA Ultimate Team.
The team that fell at the hands of Barca a year ago, Juventus’s spiritual leader, center midfielder Claudio Marchisio, is a member of the Most Consistent without an Inform squad for the second straight season. The 89-rated card represents Marchisio’s best ever in any of the FUTs. His TOTS card a season ago was 88 rated as was his FIFA 12 one when he was a member of the All-Southern Europe team.
Here are the first three Teams of the Season, these as selected by fellow FIFA Ultimate Team fans and devotees:
