With the FIFA 23 TOTY Final XI set to be released later today, the TOTY Honourable Mentions promo is expected to also drop in FUT very soon.
The FIFA 23 TOTY event has been live for a week now, with the TOTY attack, midfield and defence having all been released separately into FUT packs over the last seven days. The full TOTY XI will be released into packs later today at 6pm GMT / 1pm ET / 10am PT, but another TOTY squad is also set to arrive in FUT very soon.
FIFA 22 saw the introduction of a brand-new TOTY-themed promo in FUT, TOTY Honourable Mentions. The promo awarded players some of the TOTY Nominees who missed out on the Ultimate XI with boosted TOTY-themed cards, but not as high-rated as the TOTY XI.
And, according to leaks on social media, TOTY Honourable mentions is set to return in FIFA 23 Ultimate Team this week, with some fantastic players reportedly set to be included. Here is everything we know about the rumoured FIFA 23 FUT TOTY Honourable Mentions promo so far including the latest leaks and the expected release date.
FIFA 23 TOTY Honourable Mentions expected release date
With the FIFA 23 releases of TOTY following the same patterns as FIFA 22, we expect that the TOTY Honourable Mentions will follow the release of the full TOTY Final XI. Based on this, we expect that the TOTY Honourable Mentions will be released on Friday, January 26 at 6pm GMT / 1pm ET / 10am PT.
Again, based on the FIFA 22 release, we also expect that the TOTY 12th man will be released alongside the TOTY Honourable Mentions, and according to leaker @FutSheriff, Erling Haaland is the TOTY 12th man. This is just a leak, but the striker wasn’t included in the FIFA 23 TOTW 13 squad despite scoring a hat-trick, so it bodes well for his TOTY inclusion.
FIFA 23 TOTY Honourable Mentions leaks
A big chunk of players set to feature in the TOTY Honourable Mentions have been leaked ahead of the official release by the ever-reliable @FutSheriff. None of these players are guaranteed to feature in the Honourable Mentions promo, and we won’t know who is confirmed to be in the promo until EA themselves release the squad.
Here’s a list of every Honourable Mentions player leaked so far:
- Vinicius Jr (Real Madrid)
- Harry Kane (Tottenham)
- Seko Fofana (Lens)
- Nabil Fekir (Real Sociedad)
- Alphonso Davies (Bayern Munich)
- Nicolas Otamendi (Benfica)
- Joao Cancelo (Manchester City)
- Bukayo Saka (Arsenal)
Champions League winner and Real Madrid star Vinicius Jr is reportedly set to feature in the TOTY Honourable mentions squad, and there’s no doubt the Brazilian will be one of the most sought-after players in the squad. Premier League trio Harry Kane, Joao Cancelo and Bukayo Saka are also reportedly set to be included.
As of now, it’s unclear what will happen to TOTY Icons in FIFA 23, with Team 2 of the promo currently in Packs. But, no end time for the promo has been communicated by EA, so fans are unsure if they will exit Packs on Friday, January 26 at 5.59pm GMT / 12.59pm ET / 9.59am PT or stay in Packs for longer.
