As I scroll through the nominees, I can’t help but feel like I’m putting together a dream squad—a collection of stories, skills, and pure footballing magic. These players aren't just stats on a screen; they’re artists, and the pitch is their canvas. Let me walk you through my top picks for who deserves that coveted, shimmering blue TOTY card. It’s gonna be a close one, I can feel it!

7. Olga Carmona: The Flank's Swiss Army Knife

Honestly, where do I even start with Olga? Watching her play for Real Madrid in Liga F this past season was a masterclass in versatility. This woman doesn't just defend; she orchestrates from the left flank. Her nomination is a no-brainer. She's got this incredible ability to switch from a rock-solid LB to a menacing LW in the blink of an eye. It’s like having two elite players in one card slot—talk about value for your coins! 🤯 Her stats are so well-rounded, and those PlayStyles… chef's kiss. They just let her natural talent shine. Remember her in the World Cup final? Yeah, that Player of the Match energy is exactly what she’d bring to a TOTY card. She’s not just filling a position; she’s defining it.

6. Alexia Putellas: The Maestro in the Middle

If midfield control is what you crave, look no further than Alexia Putellas. The Barcelona legend is, quite simply, a different breed. A box-to-box menace with the vision of a chess grandmaster and passing so accurate it’s almost rude. If (or should I say, when) she gets that TOTY upgrade, her card is going to be an absolute cheat code. We’re talking about predicted ratings that would make any opponent sweat:

Attribute Predicted TOTY Rating
Dribbling 92 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Passing 91 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Shooting 90 ⭐⭐⭐⭐
Pace 83 ⭐⭐⭐⭐
Physical 80 ⭐⭐⭐⭐

And let's not forget the 5-star Skill Moves and 5-star Weak Foot. You just can't predict her. She’s the heartbeat of any team, and her TOTY card would be the ultimate midfield crown jewel.

5. Trinity Rodman: The American Dynamo

Switching continents to the NWSL, Trinity Rodman is pure, unadulterated excitement. She’s been on fire for the Washington Spirit, and her pace is… well, let's just say it's not fair. 😅 Since joining in 2021, she's been banging in goals and terrorizing defenders. This ongoing 2024/2025 season? Eight goals already! Her predicted TOTY stats scream "game-changer":

  • Pace: 96 🚀 (Yes, you read that right)

  • Physicality: 87 💪

  • Shooting: 85

The best part? Her versatility. RM, LM, RW, even ST—she can do it all. That explosive speed on the wing is a weapon I simply must have in my Ultimate Team arsenal.

4. Aitana Bonmatí: The Reigning Queen

What more can be said about the 2024 Ballon d’Or winner? Aitana Bonmatí isn't just likely to be in the TOTY; she's likely to run it. Watching her play for Barcelona is a lesson in footballing intelligence. She effortlessly adapts to any role in the center of the park, making her card uniquely deadly. Her TOTY version promises:

  • Exceptional Passing & Dribbling (Think: defense-splitting through balls)

  • Unmatched Pace for a midfielder

  • A Strong Physical Presence that belies her technique

She’s the complete package. There’s a quiet confidence to her game that translates into utter dominance. Doubting her spot in the starting 11? I wouldn't.

3. Lauren James: Chelsea's Certified Star

You simply can't have this conversation without Lauren James. Her performances for Chelsea have been nothing short of spectacular. While she’s been knocking on the door (hello, 2023 FIFPro World XI), this feels like the year she kicks it down. As an attacker, she’s been unstoppable. Her predicted TOTY stats are a winger's dream:

  • Dribbling: 91 ✨

  • Pace: 93 ⚡

  • Physicality: 87

  • 5-Star Skill Moves

She’s got that flair, that unpredictability that breaks games open. It feels like her time, and the Ultimate Team community is ready to finally give her that blue card recognition.

2. Caroline Graham Hansen: The Goal-Scoring Machine

Caroline Graham Hansen doesn't just play on the wing; she owns it. Her 2023/2024 Liga F season was a joke—21 goals in 25 games for a winger? That's just showing off. 🎯 Her chances in the fan vote are sky-high, and for good reason. Her TOTY card would be one of the most sought-after items in the game. Just look at these projected numbers:

Attribute Rating
Dribbling 93
Pace 92
Shooting 91
Passing 91

Deploy her at RW or RM, and watch the magic happen. With 5-star skills, she’s a defender's nightmare, combining end product with breathtaking technique.

1. Rasheedat Ajibade: My Top Pick for TOTY 2025

And here we are, at number one. For me, the player who embodies the excitement of this year's TOTY is Rasheedat Ajibade. The Nigerian superstar lighting up Liga F with Atlético Madrid is a force of nature. She’s the engine for one of FC 25's best 4.5-star teams, and her versatility is her superpower. RM, LM, RW, LW—she excels everywhere. But it's her explosive speed and attacking stats that make her a lethal, must-have card.

There’s a certain joy to her play, a fearless directness that’s impossible to ignore. With her outstanding performances, she’s not just a nominee; she’s a fan favorite waiting to happen. Her journey feels like the heart of what TOTY is about: recognizing rising, dominant talent. Getting her blue card would be the ultimate reward for a spectacular season.

So, there you have it. My deep dive into the phenomenal women who are shaping up to be the Team of the Year 2025. From Olga's versatility to Rasheedat's explosive joy, each player brings a unique story to the pitch. The fan vote is going to be intense, and honestly, I'm just here for the spectacle. Whoever gets that elusive blue card, one thing's for sure: our Ultimate Teams are about to get a whole lot more fun, skillful, and powerful. Now, if you'll excuse me, I need to go save up some coins... this is going to be an expensive week! 😂
