One of the biggest promos of the year has arrived in EA Sports FC 24, with gamers around the world set to vote on their Team of The Year over the coming days. What's more, this edition of the game will see two teams selected for the first time.
Team of the Year voting causes a huge amount of debate every January, with only 11 spots available in the side. That will be the case once again when it comes to the men's side, although FC 24 will also see a Women's Team of The Year released for the first time.
Voting for both teams will get underway at 4pm GMT on January 8th.
The nominees for the teams were revealed yesterday, with over 140 of the world's best footballers in contention to be included in the sides.
On the men's list, the likes of Erling Haaland, Kylian Mbappe, and Jude Bellingham will be among the favourites to make the final XI. Among other Premier League stars, you can expect Alisson, Kevin De Bruyne, Rodri, and Trent Alexander-Arnold to also come under consideration.
Here are the men's nominees in full.

The competition for places is equally as fierce in the women's side.
Ireland's own Katie McCabe is included among the nominees and she is sure to be a popular choice among the voters. The likes of Sam Kerr, Mary Earps, and Alexia Putellas will be among the favourites to make the final XI.

With such a talented list of nominees to choose from, it can be difficult to whittle your list down to the final 22 players. With that in mind, EA Sports have partnered with Opta to give voters access to in-depth real life data in order to help them make a more informed decision.
CBS' Champions League Live Today team of Kate Abdo, Jamie Carragher, Micah Richards, and guest panelist Alex Scott will also be sharing their selections. Both Jude Bellingham and Alexia Putellas will also feature.
Everyone has a team. Choose yours.
