TOTS Dates for FIFA 16 Ultimate Team

Since Team of the Year was released, in January, we have been repeatedly questioning about TOTS Dates for FIFA 16 Ultimate Team. In fact, they were not announced by EA but we have an idea when Team of the Season will go out.

TOTS Dates for FIFA 16 Ultimate Team

Any Ultimate Team player knows how important the TOTY and TOTS teams are. During the release it is possible to make big improvements to our teams and make amazing deals in the transfer market. That’s why it is normal to see the FIFA community eager and waiting for the launch of the first Team of the Season. The usual way things go is that EA Sports doesn’t announce when it will happen. In the best of the chances, they do it one week before the release date, but it is very unlikely to happen. That is, if you really want to know when the TOTS Dates for FIFA 16 Ultimate Team, so keep reading and all will be revealed.

Year after year, EA follows a very strict calendar. Looking to the release dates of the previous years, it is possible to get a good idea about when the TOTS of FUT 16 will begin. In FIFA 12 and FIFA 13, the first TOTS was launched respectively at May 2 and May 8. However, in FIFA 14 the expected date (May 7) was anticipated two weeks. This was an exception obviously due to the World Cup. Last year, in FIFA 15, the first blue cards were released only at May 20. What sets the date of the first TOTS is the calendar of domestic leagues. This season, the end of major European leagues is in line with what happened in 2014. That’s why the first TOTS of FUT 16 should be announced at April 27, 2016 at 4pm (UK time) and released in packs two hours later. Since these teams are always announced at Wednesdays and Fridays, the alternative dates are April 29 or May 4.

This prediction is also based in our experience and in other important factors:

– Important International Competitions (Copa América t June 3 and Euro 2016 at June 10);
– Most Consistent but Never In Form TOTS Draft Deadline (April 22 in FIFA 15 and April 13 in FIFA 16);
– Transfer Market Health.

Like it happened in previous years, the Most Consistent but Never In Form TOTS will be the first one to be launched. In fact, this has been officially confirmed by EA Sports that began to consult the community about the most suitable players for these three teams (gold, silver and bronze) on March 22, more than a week earlier than in FIFA 15 and FIFA 14 (April 2).

Obviously subject to error, here are the expected TOTS Dates for FIFA 16 Ultimate Team:

Gold Most Consistent but never IF TOTS
From April 29th Friday to May 4th Wednesday

Silver Most Consistent but never IF TOTS
From April 29th Friday to May 4th Wednesday
