All FC 26 TOTY nominees and how to vote

All the nominees for the upcoming TOTY promo in FC 26 Ultimate Team are now live, and you can cast your vote for the men’s and women’s teams.

The TOTY promo involves selecting the best players from the worlds of men’s and women’s football. The chosen candidates will receive special cards as part of the promo, while the second-best squad will have Honorable Mentions items.

How to vote for FC 26 TOTY

The voting, as of writing, isn’t live. The voting process will begin at 12pm CST/6pm UK time on Jan. 7. There’s a slight tweak to the system this time around. We will be able to get loan items for the cards that we will pick, which will also register our votes. The voting process is expected to wrap up on Jan. 12.

You can also vote on the official website if you don’t have access to Ultimate Team.

The first major Fortnite update for the new year is coming soon in the form of v39.20, and there’s plenty of new content in store.

Earlier this year, Epic Games revealed the annual update roadmap for Fortnite. Hence, we have known the release date since, but this countdown will help you stay in touch with the upcoming update.

Fortnite v39.20 update countdown

The Fortnite v39.20 update goes live globally on Friday, Jan. 9, across all platforms. There’s little chance for a delay, and the following countdown will expire once the update goes live.

[hurrytimer id=”1162657″]

The countdown is based on the following timings.

• 1am PT
• 3am CT
• 4am ET
• 9am UTC
• 10am CET

This is the usual schedule that Epic has been following for all major updates in the last few months. However, it’s worth noting that the time when the servers go live will differ across regions. There will be a prior maintenance as well, when Fortnite and all its modes will be completely unavailable.

What to expect from Fortnite v39.20 update

The first update of the new year is themed around South Park, and here are a few highlights to look out for.

• South Park themed skins
• South Park Mini Battle Pass
• OG Chapter 1 Season 7 Super Styles
• Chapter 1 Battle Pass Super Styles
• Blitz mode and map update
• Reload update
• Reload loot pool update
• Plenty of new cosmetics
• New jam tracks
• New emotes, available in the shop and pass.
• New weapons
• Unvaulted weapons

It will be interesting to find out how the South Park-inspired cosmetics appear in-game. There will be skins based on all major characters, including Stan, Kyle, and Kenny. The pass will be great for those who are looking to add a bunch of cosmetics to their collection.

I am also expecting certain quests themed around the South Park collab, along with new NPCs that will be on the map. For now, all we have to do is wait for the update to go live on Friday.
