EA FC 25 TOTY: Does Jude Bellingham deserve to be in Team of the Year?

Jude Bellingham is regarded as one of the best youngsters in the sport today, so it makes sense that the Englishman has been nominated for the EA FC 25 TOTY roster. The 21-year-old was a crucial part of Real Madrid's success last season and has started to regain his form during the current campaign following some underwhelming displays. While he has had streaks of inconsistent performances, he still deserves a spot in the Team of the Year.

In the absence of a top-tier striker last season, Bellingham had to play a more advanced role in his first season at Real Madrid. He scored plenty of important goals and provided assists to lead Los Blancos to the Champions League and La Liga titles, earning a reputation for being a versatile midfielder. He is just as impressive on the virtual pitch as well.

Jude Bellingham is one of most deserving EA FC 25 TOTY midfielder nominees

With England losing to Spain in the EUROs final, fans were critical of the Three Lions' performances overall. However, Jude Bellingham was one of their key players in the tournament and scored some important goals. He also had a spectacular debut season with Real Madrid, and his performances should definitely earn him a spot on the EA FC 25 TOTY roster.

After a rather slow start to the current campaign, the midfielder has started to showcase his abilities at the highest level once again. He has formed a lethal partnership with Kylian Mbappe, Vinicius Junior, and Rodrygo, with all four players contributing equally and leading their side to the top of La Liga.

Bellingham already possesses several impressive special items in Ultimate Team, including a 92-rated POTM SBC and a 93-rated Road to the Knockouts version. His potential EA FC 25 TOTY item will undoubtedly be among the best midfielders in the game, especially if he receives the right PlayStyles and Roles.

Manchester City's Rodri is also expected to occupy one of the three TOTY midfielder spots, with the Spaniard winning the Ballon d'Or for his performances last season. The likes of Jude Bellingham, Federico Valverde, Florian Wirtz, and Cole Palmer will compete for the other two spots.

While the other nominees have also been impressive in 2024, Jude Bellingham's consistency over the course of two seasons and his performances in important games make him deserving of a place in the EA FC 25 TOTY squad. The roster will also be based on a fan vote, so his popularity will help his case and possibly secure his inclusion.
