EA Sports has officially announced the highly anticipated line-ups for both the Men's and Women's Team of the Year (TOTY) squads, following a fan vote conducted last week. A historic moment in the EA FC series sees Kylian Mbappé and Lucy Bronze designated as the first-ever official TOTY Captains. Mbappé's selection comes as no surprise, given his phenomenal scoring record this season, where he has consistently averaged over a goal per match in La Liga and nearly two in the Champions League, continuing his dominant form from the latter half of the previous season. Lucy Bronze, on the women's side, has solidified her reputation as one of the world's premier defenders in 2025. Her exceptional performance includes winning a significant majority of her one-on-one duels and delivering crucial goals in high-pressure matches.

The full Men's TOTY squad in EA FC 26 features a formidable array of talent. The attackers include Kylian Mbappé (Real Madrid: 96 OVR), Erling Haaland (Manchester City: 96 OVR), and Ousmane Dembélé (Paris Saint-Germain: 97 OVR).
