FIFA 23 Ligue 1 TOTS Player Picks rollout begins following FUT Champions error

EA Sports has started to send out Ligue 1 TOTS Player Picks in FIFA 23 Ultimate Team following an issue with the FUT Champions rewards.

The FIFA 23 TOTS promo has not been smooth sailing for EA, with a plethora of errors in recent weeks seeing the publisher come under fire from the FUT Community. From releasing TOTS squads early on accident to wrongly-described Packs, EA has been forced into issuing countless apologies and compensation over the last few weeks.

Ligue 1 TOTS trio Moussa Sissoko, Wissam Ben Yedder and Marco Verratti were not available in the Ligue 1 TOTS Player Pick handed out as part of the FUT Champions Finals rewards last week. With these players unavailable to Pack, EA was forced into announcing compensation for impacted players, confirming this via its @EAFIFADirect communications channel.

Part of the statement claimed that "impacted players who previously opened Ligue 1 FUT Champions TOTS Player Items rewards will receive corrected rewards in the coming days", but this wasn't the case, with the FUT Community starting to get frustrated as the wait went on. But, EA has finally started to roll out compensation today, a few days later than expected.

FIFA 23 FUT Champions players start to receive Ligue 1 TOTS Player Pick compensation

In an update released on its @EAFIFADirect communications channel, EA said : "Some Ligue 1 FUT Champions Reward Packs did not contain TOTS Sissoko, Ben Yedder, and Verratti Player Items. This was previously addressed, and we have started rolling out corrected Packs to impacted players in-game. We'll update this thread once this has been completed."

Firstly, EA said "Ligue 1 FUT Champions Reward Packs" in this update when it was Player Picks that didn't contain the players per the original statement, so this has confused some FUT players who are awaiting compensation. It looks like impacted players are starting to receive Player Picks rather than Packs, so it seems this is just a typo from EA.

And don't worry if you haven't got your Ligue 1 TOTS Player Picks just yet. Not all of them will be released at once, so it's expected to take a bit of time for this to be completed. EA said they will provide another update when all compensation has been issued.

It's taken seven days for EA to issue the correct compensation in FUT 23, which is much quicker than the Community TOTS compensation which took three weeks to be handed out. This isn't the only compensation being released by EA today either, with impacted FUT players using the Polish language being awarded 5x 92+ TOTS Player Picks after an error with a Pack description in the FUT Store.
