Major League Soccer (MLS) has firmly planted itself on the world football stage, evolving from a league once dismissed as a retirement home for aging stars to a growing, competitive force with global appeal. The rise of MLS is a testament to the ever-changing landscape of football in North America, and with the increasing presence of legendary players and the growing depth of talent, the league is showing no signs of slowing down.

he 2024 MLS season served as a landmark year, breaking records both on and off the field. Inter Miami, led by the iconic Lionel Messi, took home the Supporters' Shield, while LA Galaxy secured an MLS Cup title for the sixth time. The season was filled with remarkable performances and unexpected twists, but one thing remained clear: the league’s global stature continues to rise, especially in the realm of video games like EA Sports FC 25.

As the newest edition of EA’s popular football game series, EA Sports FC 25 continues to evolve by adding new features and updates that reflect the changing dynamics of real-world football. One of the most exciting features of this year’s game is the MLS Team of the Season (TOTS) promo, which brings some of the best performers of the 2024 MLS season into the Ultimate Team fold. This article will explore the performances that made these players stand out and how they shape the growing relationship between MLS and EA Sports FC.

The MLS TOTS: A New Era in American Footballing Excellence

For years, Major League Soccer was often overlooked by EA Sports, and its representation in the game was minimal compared to Europe’s top leagues. However, with the influx of international superstars like Messi, Luis Suárez, and Jordi Alba, the league's increasing prominence has changed that. MLS TOTS in EA Sports FC 25 is set to feature some of the most exciting players in the league, thanks to their stellar performances during the 2024 season. This year’s TOTS not only reflects the rising quality of the league but also highlights some of the top talents that are putting MLS on the map.

hile EA has yet to officially confirm how MLS TOTS will be integrated into the promo, it's widely expected that it will follow the format used in EA Sports FC 24, with a “Mixed League” squad that includes standout players from various leagues. In the past, the MLS TOTS was limited to a handful of players, but this year’s predictions suggest that nine MLS stars will be featured — a clear indication of how far the league has come.

Predicting the Stars of MLS in EA Sports FC 25

Attackers: Messi and Suárez Lead the Charge

The attacking talent in MLS in 2024 was nothing short of spectacular. Headlining the forward line is Lionel Messi, who continues to demonstrate why he’s considered one of the greatest players of all time. Despite Inter Miami’s early exit from the MLS Cup Playoffs, Messi's individual brilliance was undeniable. The Argentine forward finished the season with 21 goals and 11 assists in just 22 appearances. His influence on the pitch is immeasurable, and his presence alone has driven record-breaking attendance figures, elevating the league’s profile globally.

Luis Suárez, Messi’s former Barcelona teammate, has also made an immediate impact in MLS. The Uruguayan forward was lethal in front of goal, scoring 21 goals to match Messi’s tally, helping Inter Miami secure the top spot in the league standings. Together, Messi and Suárez represent an attacking duo that rivals the best in the world, and their inclusion in the MLS TOTS is a no-brainer.

Finally, the MLS Golden Boot winner, Christian Benteke, also deserves a spot in the TOTS. The Belgian striker enjoyed a fantastic season with DC United, scoring 23 goals despite his team’s lack of playoff success. Benteke’s ability to find the back of the net and his consistent performances make him one of the standout players in the league this year.

Lionel Messi (RW, Inter Miami, Argentina, 98)

Luis Suárez (ST, Inter Miami, Uruguay, 96)

Christian Benteke (ST, DC United, Belgium, 94)

Midfielders: Puig, Acosta, and Evander Shine Bright

MLS midfielders have also been impressive this season, with several players standing out for their creativity, vision, and goal-scoring ability. Leading the charge is Ricard Puig, the former Barcelona midfielder who has taken MLS by storm. Playing for LA Galaxy, Puig was involved in 29 goals during the 2024 season, with 17 goals and 12 assists to his name. Unfortunately, Puig’s season ended prematurely after he tore his ACL in the Western Conference Final, but his impact up until that point was undeniable, and he is expected to be a shoo-in for TOTS.

Another standout performer is Luciano Acosta from FC Cincinnati. Acosta’s 14 goals and 17 assists helped propel his team to the top of the Eastern Conference, and his ability to control the tempo of the game and create opportunities for his teammates makes him a favorite in Ultimate Team.

Evander, who started the season with Portland Timbers before moving to FC Cincinnati, also deserves a spot in the MLS TOTS. With 15 goals and 15 assists, the Brazilian midfielder has proven to be one of the most dynamic playmakers in MLS, and his performances have earned him a spot in the predicted TOTS.

Luciano Acosta (CAM, FC Cincinnati, Argentina, 94)

Evander (CM, FC Cincinnati, Brazil, 93)

Defenders: Experience and Leadership at the Back

The importance of solid defensive foundations was evident during the 2024 MLS season. The league saw strong defensive units, and the players who anchored them were crucial in securing clean sheets and limiting goals.

Steven Moreira of Columbus Crew is a prime example of a solid right-back who made a massive impact on both ends of the pitch. Moreira helped Columbus finish second in the Eastern Conference while conceding just 40 goals during the regular season. He also contributed two goals from the right-back position, showcasing his attacking threat.

Jordi Alba, the 36-year-old left-back for Inter Miami, has proven that experience counts. Despite his age, Alba continues to be a driving force in attack, contributing 5 goals and 11 assists. His leadership on and off the pitch has been crucial in Miami’s Supporters’ Shield-winning campaign.

Yeimar Gomez of Seattle Sounders rounds out the defensive trio. As one of the most consistent and reliable center-backs in MLS, Gomez anchored a defense that allowed just 35 goals, the fewest in the Western Conference. His inclusion in the 2024 MLS Best XI solidifies his place in the predicted TOTS.

Yeimar Gomez (CB, Seattle Sounders, Colombia, 93)
