Electronic Arts, publisher of FIFA 20, officially reveals the Team of the Season Premier League squad. Cards are already available as of today.
It has been a long time coming for many football fans. With the current lockdown due to the coronavirus, gamers will be pleased to know that the official Team of the Season is already out. This particular Team of the Season is for the Premier League, other international leagues will most probably have their own.
The Team of the Season squad has 20 players. As usual, there will be the starting 11, along with seven substitutes and two reserves. The squad is usually composed of top performing players from around the globe.
In-demand FIFA 20 players
Perhaps one of the most in-demand players in FIFA 20 is Kevin de Bruyne. The Belgian midfield playing for Manchester City has been phenomenal this year. It comes as no surprise that EA gave him a 99 overall rating.
With the clubs historic performance, it goes without saying that a couple of Liverpool players made it to the list. Most notable are Egyptian forward Mohamed Salah, Senegalese winger Sadio Mane, and Scottish defender Andrew Robertson. A total of eight Liverpool players made it to the list.

It is important to note that EA choose the players based on their performances before the abrupt lockdown. Which is why many Liverpool players were able to make it to the list. The club’s historic Premier League had the club on the prime position for the title with 82 points.
Because of the coronavirus pandemic, the regular FIFA Ultimate Team has been temporarily suspended. The Ultimate Team is a group of players selected based on their performance. Since all major football leagues are suspended, EA has no statistical way of rating their performance. Hence, the FIFA 20 Team of the Season Premier League was created.
