Summary
The EA Sports FC 25 Bundesliga TOTS is expected to be released on May 30th.
Inter Milan and AC Milan will have several inclusions.
'Meta' players Theo Hernandez, Rafael Leao and Lautaro Martinez will be included.
Serie A is often one of the most unpredictable major leagues in the world. While the Bundesliga, Ligue 1 and Premier League are all dominated by one singular team most of the time, that's not the case in Italy. Napoli, Inter Milan, Juventus and AC Milan always plan to try and win the title.
This season, Inter are leading the race for glory ahead of Antonio Conte's Napoli. Atalanta aren't far behind either; it's been a chaotic season full of drama, and thoughts are now turning towards the division's Team of the Season (TOTS), both in real life and in EA Sports FC 25.
The promo celebrates the league's best-performing players from the season, giving them boosted cards that are all considered 'meta'. We have decided to try and predict the Serie A TOTS, which is expected to be released on Friday, May 30th. We've outlined the main starting 11 and a selection of substitutes who may feature elsewhere.
Defenders
Inter and AC Milan dominate
Up first, our predicted Serie A TOTS defence is made up entirely of players from the northern Italian city of Milan. The city's two rivals, AC and Inter Milan, are always going head-to-head, battling for the bragging rights whilst they share the same beautiful stadium, the San Siro.
Mike Maignan has been picked for this team ahead of Inter's Yann Sommer, but Inter's Denzel Dumfries, Francesco Acerbi and Alessandro Bastoni are all included. With Simone Inzaghi's side sitting top of the table, it's hardly surprising that they have several defenders included.
Theo Hernandez, however, feels all but guaranteed to be the division's main left-back. While he is not shining on all fronts for AC Milan, especially in their season of disappointment, he is considered one of the most 'meta' players in EAFC 25. TOTS is expected to be a public vote once again, which would likely see the community vote confidentially to include the quick, aggressive and powerful Frenchman. He will be so hard to pack though, making those who do succeed even happier.

Team of the Season is expected to be released in April, with the world's best players set to receive incredible upgrades.
Midfielders
Thuram has impressed since moving to Italy
In the middle of the park, there is one inclusion from Italy's three biggest sides — Juventus, AC Milan and Inter Milan. Choosing who to select here was a struggle; Nicolo Barella, Scott McTominay and Nico Paz, Como's rising star who joined from Real Madrid, could have been included, but we have opted for Khephren Thuram, Tijjani Reijnders and Hakan Calhanoglu.
Thuram joined Juventus in 2024 and he has taken to life in Turin like a duck to water. When he scored his first goal in December 2024, he became the third Thuram family member to score in Serie A, whilst he has acted as an assured, composed and reliable figure for the side as they look to compete in the upper echelons of the table.
Reijnders has been a beacon of light for AC Milan during their challenging season, not only acting as an aggressive and powerful workhorse but also helping transition the ball from defence to attack. He has previously been linked with a move to the likes of Manchester City and Tottenham; that's hardly surprising when you watch him week in and week out. The Dutchman is in a class of his own in AC Milan's midfield.
Finally, Hakan Calhanoglu might be 31 and past the sport's perceived 'peak', but he is still performing at a remarkable consistency. As of the March international break, he has picked up five goals and four assists in 21 league matches, helping Inter sit happily at the top of the table. The Turkish international is so remarkably consistent.

How to Defend in EA Sports FC 25
Defending in EA Sports FC 25 can be challenging, but – with these tips – you will quickly improve when playing Ultimate Team.
Attackers
Atalanta's Retegui has been an acting joy
The attacking section of any TOTS is always the most exciting. It's where the stars come out to play, driving forward, dancing around the defenders and looking to score at any moment. Serie A is no different with a host of world-class attackers, some of whom are unlucky to not be included in our predicted starting 11.
Rafael Leao will occupy one space. The 25-year-old left winger has been a joy for AC Milan once again this campaign, even if he has not hit the heights of previous seasons. He's also considered incredibly 'meta' in EAFC 25, which will make him a popular inclusion if TOTS is a community vote, as expected.
His rival and Inter Milan player Lautaro Martinez will join him. The Argentine is the most reliable figure in Serie A, consistently scoring goals and acting as Inter's saviour. He's always been linked with a move to the Premier League, but he's remained loyal so far.
Mateo Retegui will probably join the duo to complete the team as well. The 25-year-old Atalanta striker is having his best season ever; he's so far scored 22 league goals in 27 matches, placing him top of the goalscorers list, and he's acted with confidence in the final third that most lack. He has most notably been selected ahead of Inter Milan's Marcus Thuram, who has also had a brilliant season.

Substitutes
McTominay has had a strong first season at Napoli
However, TOTS includes more than just the starting eleven. The main squad, always released in packs, will include a selection of substitutes, whilst there will be countless other players available through Squad Building Challenges (SBCs) and Objectives. We have outlined those who are most likely to be included below.
Defensively, Federico Dimarco, Giovanni Di Lorenzo and Malick Thiaw are all potential TOTS players, even if they have not hit the heights of previous campaigns. They would all be incredibly 'meta' in EAFC 25 as well. Slightly further forward, McTominay has impressed under manager Conte since joining Napoli from Manchester United last summer, and he is in contention for a TOTS card, just like fellow midfielders Barella and Paz.
Finally, Paulo Dybala, now at Roma, Atalanta's Ademola Lookman and Mattia Zaccagni have all impressed as energetic and vibrant players pushing into the final third. They've been a joy to watch, whilst they've performed on a similar level to strikers Thuram and Moise Kean.
