How to get Team of the Year players

FIFA 18 gamers can get their hands on the limited Team of the Year players by opening Gold packs as well as special limited edition packs on FIFA Ultimate Team.

You’ll require in-game coins or FIFA points to be able to open packs and there’s no guarantee that you’ll get one of the TOTY players in the packs you open.

If you manage to build up a big enough collection of coins then you may be able to secure one in the player transfer market, but they are expected to cost as much as one million coins.

What is the FIFA 18 Ultimate Team web app?

EA’s Ultimate Team web app and phone app lets players access their Ultimate Team club and make changes and transfers while away from their console.

Users of the app can manage their squad players and their consumables and lets them keep an eye on the latest player pack offerings.

The app is also a great way to keep up with the transfer market while you’re on the move, and it even lets you buy players and add them to your watch list.

To access the app, you will need an EA account and a copy of FIFA 18, as well as your own Ultimate Team.
