It’s almost time for TOTY in FC 26, which means we’re already close to halfway through this year’s cycle. Fan voting for the event only just ended, but leaks have already confirmed the main XI cards in the men’s TOTY from FC 26. There are some expected faces, some huge snubs, and some very questionable choices. But, most players already know that TOTY in FC 26 is much more of a popularity contest than anything else.
Each of these XI cards below is going to be the very best in their position for several months (all the way up to TOTS). That’s exactly why they’ll be worth millions upon millions of coins, be nearly impossible to pack, and very few players will have them in their team. If you want to be one of those players, get FC 26 coins from LootBar to buy any packs during the promo to boost your chances of packing a TOTY card. For now, here’s every main XI card from FC 26’s men’s TOTY.

The Main XI Cards in FC 26 Men’s TOTY
TOTY Attackers in FC 26
The three attackers leading the line in FC 26’s TOTY are Mbappe, Haaland, and Dembele. That’s probably the least controversial group of players in this TOTY, since you could easily argue that all three of them deserve their spot. And every single one of those three is going to be cracked. Mbappe, Haaland, and Dembele are all highly meta as it is. With the TOTY juice, they’ll be endgame attackers.
Of course, they’re also going to cost more than 5 million coins each, and that’s being generous. The 12th man leaks also suggest that one of Harry Kane, Raphinha, or Lamine Yamal will be joining this selection. It’ll likely be Raphinha out of those three, who’s also always great in-game.
TOTY Midfielders in FC 26
The midfield picks for this year’s Men’s TOTY are Vitinha (obviously), Pedri, and Rice. Vitinha’s spot is absolutely deserved without any doubt, and Pedri also deserves his spot being one of the best midfielders in the world across 2025 and winning multiple trophies. Declan Rice on the other hand, despite being an integral part of Arsenal’s team, is arguably undeserving of his spot simply because of the fact that there are arguably players that deserved it so much more. For example, PSG’s Joao Neves was amazing throughout 2025 and so important to their unforgettable season.
But, no point talking about who deserves it more. Rice, Pedri, and Vitinha are the midfielders we’re getting, and they’re sure to be great. Pedri may not be super meta, but with TOTY boosts he’ll be one of the best midfielders in the game. Rice and Vitinha on the other hand are already so good in-game, and will easily be two of the best midfield cards throughout FC 26’s cycle. There’s no telling which of these three will be the best/most expensive card, but one thing for sure is that all three of them will be meta.
TOTY Defenders and Goalkeepers in FC 26
The defence is full of absolutely awful picks and is by far the most controversial part of Men’s TOTY in FC 26. The four defenders for this year are Nuno Mendes, Saliba, Van Dijk, and Kounde. The only 100% deserved card there is easily Nuno Mendes, and the rest are strange picks for sure. Hakimi should be the RB after his insane 2025 for PSG which was so important to their sextuple. Marquinhos should also be there, as he was one of PSG’s best players. The goalkeeper spot goes to Donnarumma, who deserves it for his heroics in the Champions League for PSG.
Saliba, Van Dijk, and Kounde are all undeserved picks arguably. But at least they’re all meta and will be the best players in their position easily. Van Dijk will be the best CB in the game once he drops for sure, and will be worth several million coins. Saliba and Mendes are also meta as it is, so their TOTY versions will be cracked too. Kounde and Donnarumma may not end up being as expensive as the other three, but they should be the best RB and GK in the game respectively. And that completes this year’s TOTY XI from men’s football.
Sure, there are some questionable inclusions in the team. But, every single one of those cards is exciting, which is all that TOTY is about. We’re also getting TOTY icons, an entire women’s team, and so much more content. After a dry spell in recent weeks, there’s a lot to look forward to in TOTY. And if you want to get any of these cards into your team, go to LootBar to add any FC 26 players to your squad without having to grind for coins or rely on pack luck.
Conclusion
Team of the Year is one of the most exciting promos every year, and FC 26's looks particularly exciting. Along with this leaked men's XI, there's also other promising content coming like a women's TOTY, upgraded hero cards, TOTY Icons, and there are even rumors of icon swaps returning. One thing to keep in mind is that special cards are hard enough to pack as it is in FC 26, but they're going to be even rarer during TOTY. So, to boost your chances of adding TOTY cards like Mbappe, Mendes, Dembele, and the others to your squad, buy FC 26 coins from LootBar and get the best packs.
