Team of the Year is set to come to FIFA 22 Ultimate Team imminently, bringing with it some of the biggest cards in the game.
With a shortlist of 80 players being reduced to just 11 (and a 12th Player inclusion), some massive names are set to miss out.

The leaks have been coming in, and with the full team looking like it's already known, fans have been getting stuck into squad building.
Full Team Leak
EA announced that the Ultimate XI would be revealed on Thursday, 20 January, however, leakers didn't fancy waiting that long!
If the leak proves true, then the Ultimate XI will be:
- Gianluigi Donnarumma (PSG)
- Joao Cancelo (Manchester City)
- Ruben Dias (Manchester City)
- Maquinhos (PSG)
- Achraf Hakimi (PSG)
- Jorginho (Chelsea)
- Kevin De Bruyne (Manchester City)
- N'Golo Kante (Chelsea)
- Robert Lewandowski (Bayern Munich)
- Kylian Mbappe (PSG)
- Lionel Messi (PSG)
It's very surprising to see Mohamed Salah left out of the XI, however, he will now be a firm favourite to take the 12th Player spot.
The Challenge
After the leak happened, many started speculating upon the squad you could build with the Ultimate XI.
This attempt by Weaver was one of the first we saw, but including an Icon takes away from their build.
However, with a change of formation and a bit of position switching, you are able to get a full XI on 100 chemistry.
Robert Lewandowski is the only player without any links, being the only Bundesliga player predicted to feature, and Kevin De Bruyne loses out on full chemistry having to play as a left midfielder, but aside from that, we think this is as good as you can get with the Ultimate XI.
Adding the right manager can bring Lewa and KDB up one chemistry rating each, which would be the finishing touch.
If anyone manages to field this side it would be absolutely insane!
12th Player Link
There is still another card set to come who could solve the Lewandowski problem, as a 12th Player will almost certainly feature as it has in previous years.
Mohamed Salah, Erling Haaland, Karim Benzema, and Cristiano Ronaldo are all in contention for the spot, and with each of them, you are still able to achieve 100 chemistry.
To get the most individuals on full chemistry you need to include either Salah or Ronaldo, with only one player not able to make it 10/10.
If Benzema makes it, you will be left with a player on seven chemistry and another on eight - after assigning a manager.
If Haaland became the 12th Player then you can get him and Lewandowski linked up for a maximum eight chemistry, but you will also have another player on seven.
Have a play around yourself, and see if you can do any better than us!
