One of the major surprises was the omission of Liverpool star Mohamed Salah, who missed out on a place in the FIFA 22 TOTY Final XI, despite his sensational season for the Reds. The other big omissions were players like Chelsea goalkeeper Edouard Mendy, Liverpool defender Trent Alexander-Arnold, Manchester United striker Cristiano Ronaldo, Real Madrid forward Karim Benzema and Italy stars Leonardo Bonnuci and Giorgio Chiellini.

The good news for these players is that the FIFA 22 TOTY 12th man candidates are expected to be revealed shortly, with no confirmed update. FUT 22 players will be able to vote for who they want to be named as the TOTY 12th man, with the winning player receiving a heavily upgraded FUT TOTY player item.

Some of the previous TOTY 12th man players have been Lionel Messi (FIFA 21), Cristiano Ronaldo (FIFA 20) and Neymar Jnr (FIFA 19).

Check out the latest FIFA 22 TOTY 12th man leaks and predictions below.

As has been the case in almost every FUT promo in FIFA 22, the TOTY promo stars were leaked on social media prior to the reveal, and it's the same story with the FIFA 22 TOTY 12th man nominees.

According to @FutSheriff, via @fifa_romania, the FIFA 22 TOTY 12th man candidates have already been confirmed, and it's good news for Liverpool and Manchester United fans.

Here are the leaked FIFA 22 TOTY 12th man candidates.

  • Cristiano Ronaldo (Manchester United)
  • Mohamed Salah (Liverpool)
  • Karim Benzema (Real Madrid)

Of course, as with all leaked content, it's not possible to confirm this information, but these social media accounts have been very reliable in the past, not just for TOTY, but for the majority of FUT 22 promos this year.
