COMPLETE TOTY 25 HM SQUAD REVEALED
The EA FC 25 TOTY Honourable Mentions list features players who just missed out on the main Team of the Year selection.
Full player list and ratings
The squad has amazing talent in every position. Manchester City’s Erling Haaland tops the list with a 95 OVR rating, while Inter Miami’s Lionel Messi comes in at 93 OVR. The midfield gets a big boost with Florian Wirtz and Federico Valverde, both rated 92 OVR.
Real Madrid’s Antonio Rüdiger anchors the defence with a 92 OVR rating. The squad has some top women’s footballers too, with Lyon’s Lindsey Horan matching Rüdiger’s 92 OVR.
Standout players breakdown
Haaland’s card comes with incredible stats – 92 pace and 96 shooting. While, Messi’s card shines in skill areas with 96 dribbling and 93 passing.
Young stars are also making their mark. Bayer Leverkusen’s Jeremie Frimpong gets a 91 OVR and Bayern Munich’s Jamal Musiala reaches 90 OVR.
12th player for TOTY 25 Men’s & Women’s Team
In addition to the TOTY Honourable Mentions player cards, the 12th player for the TOTY Men’s & Women’s Team has been added to the Ultimate Team.
The 12th player for the Men’s Team is none other than Cristiano Ronaldo with a whopping rating of 95 and simply spectacular stats, PlayStyles and traits. If you can afford him, he’s a must-have.
While the TOTY 25 Women’s Team 12th player has been announced as Khadija Shaw. Amazing stats, traits, but those 3 PlayStyles are great especially for a striker role.
MAXIMISING YOUR TOTY HM EXPERIENCE
Getting the most out of EA FC 25 TOTY Honourable Mentions requires strategic planning and smart resource management.
Pack opening tips
For best results, save your packs until Friday, January 24. All TOTY items will be available at once, regardless of their position. This gives you a better chance of getting special cards.
Also, turn your common gold cards into 75+ Player Picks. These regularly give you 82+ rated cards and In-Forms.
SBC completion breakdown
Smart fodder management is crucial for TOTY HM Squad Building Challenges. Save your players rated 83 and above for the 83+ by 10 packs instead of using them right away (these packs refresh three times each day).
The Marquinhos TOTY Honourable Mentions SBC is an example of a high-value SBC, and such SBCs require careful planning. And if you’re looking for a budget-friendly option, try the Lautaro Martinez SBC with its five challenges.
Working around Objectives
The Team of the Year Cup Objectives should be your first target as they give you special rewards and chances to develop your team. You need 15 wins in three days to complete the cup.
Your next step should be to tackle Daily Objectives based on priority. The Daily Login SBC gives you instant rewards, and Daily Play Objectives open up more Evolution opportunities.
CONCLUSION
EA FC 25 TOTY Honourable Mentions is a great opportunity to build a stronger Ultimate Team squad with exceptional player cards.
Your success in this event will depend on how well you manage your resources. Daily Objectives, SBCs, and Evolutions should be your priority, and you should save highly rated fodder for when the time comes.
So complete Objectives one at a time and manage your resources carefully. This way, your UT squad will hopefully be much stronger by the end of the event.
