We are coming closer to the end of the season. As the TOTS is the only remaining thing i'm looking forward to in FIFA 16, here is a write up about the criterias and who'll most likely make it into the team.
The grade of Der Kicker seem to be on the main criterias for selecting the TOTS. The Kicker uses grade from "6" (the worst) to "1" (the best). The players are divided in Goalkeepers, Defenders, Midfielders and Strikers. The classification isn't always the same as FUT uses, for example Bellarabi had the best grade in Strikers, his card remained Right Midfield. Here are the top grades from last years Season.
Ranking Kicker | Name | TOTS? |
---|---|---|
1st in GK | Fährmann | YES |
8th in GK | Neuer | YES |
1st in DEF | Stranzl | didnt: 19games/18graded |
2nd in DEF | Boateng | YES |
3rd in DEF | Naldo | YES |
4th in DEF | Alaba | didnt: 19/19 |
5th in DEF | Jantschke | YES |
10th in DEF | Rodriguez | YES, best grade as LB |
13th in DEF | Verhaegh | YES, best grade as RB |
1st in MID | Robben | YES: RM-card |
2nd in MID | de Bruyne | YES |
3rd in MID | Castro | YES |
4th in MID | Caliguiri | didnt: 28/19 |
5th in MID | Müller | YES: CF-card |
6th in MID | Herrmann | YES: RM-card |
11th in MID | Junuzovic | YES, crucial for Werner, a lot assists |
1st in STR | Bellarabi | YES: RM-card |
2nd in STR | Dost | didnt: 21/17 |
3rd in STR | Kruse | didnt: 32/30 |
4th in STR | Volland | didnt: 32/30 |
6th in STR | Lewandowski | YES, 2nd best goal scorer |
8th in STR | Aubameyang | YES, 4th goal scorer |
36th in MID | Meier | YES, best goal scorer |
best grade 2nd BL | Groß | YES |
conclusion:
Goalkeepers: it's hard for Neuer to get a good grade, because he often doesn't have much to do and receive a "3", which is average. So he seems to get a bonus (plus he sells better)
Centerbacks: pretty spot on: some of them didn't make it because they didn't play enough games (seems to be 20games or more)
LB/RB: on each position the one with the best grade
CDM/CM/CAM: spot on, Junuzovic seems to be off a bit. but he carried Werder Bremen and had the 2nd most assists (15)
LM/RM: CF/ST: grades don't seem to matter that much compared to the position on the goal scoring list
Position | Names |
