All FC 26 TOTY promo squads release countdowns: All dates and times

January 12 marks the end of TOTY votes, and it’s not long before the Team of the Year promo will arrive in FC 26 Ultimate Team.

The popular promo is already being teased on social media by EA Sports, but they haven’t announced an exact release date. That said, certain predictions can be made based on when Time Warp ends, and how the upcoming promo could be structured.

All TOTY team release countdowns

The TOTY promo is different from all other promos in Ultimate Team. Typically, Ultimate Team campaigns have one/two teams that are released on Fridays. TOTY, on the other hand, will have multiple team releases based on positions.

The core teams will be divided into the following positions: attackers, midfielders, defenders, and goalkeepers. Defenders and goalkeepers will be clubbed together.

The following countdowns will expire once the respective teams go live. However, the countdowns are still speculation as of writing. Any change from EA Sports will be updated on the countdowns.

The release time for every TOTY team is at 6pm UTC/12pm CT. These are the usual launch times for all promos. I am unsure about two team launches: when the full Icons appear in packs, and when the Honorable Mentions will be added.

If I have to guess, Jan. 23 is when the full set of Icons will be added to packs. For Honorable Mentions, they could either release on Jan. 16 or on Jan. 23. The launch times will be as usual.

While EA Sports hasn’t revealed any of the upcoming cards, you can check out the leaks that have appeared on social media.

Research Points, or RP in short, are a crucial currency in Quarantine Zone: The Last Check when it comes to accessing different upgrades, and you’ll need plenty.

Thankfully, there are a couple of great ways to get RP in the game. While the exact methods aren’t explained in the open, this guide will help you get as many Research Points as you might require.

How to get Research Points (RP) in Quarantine Zone

The easiest way of obtaining Research Points is by completing daily investigations. You’ll find new survivors visiting your base daily. Some of them will be clean, while others will be infected. It’s your task to go through the symptoms to differentiate between those who should live and those who should be eliminated.

While you can make a mistake, you won’t want to. Making the correct diagnosis will help you get excellent inspections. An excellent inspection rewards you with nine RP per survivor. Do this multiple times, and you’ll fetch a handy amount of RP.

However, a botched inspection (graded as poor) won’t reward you with any RP at all. That’s why you should always observe a survivor carefully before making a decision.

Another way of earning RP is from extractions. There will be an extraction every six days when you have to send your survivors to a safe zone. If you choose to send them to the lab for further research, you’ll be rewarded with RP. If you choose not to do so, you’ll be rewarded with money. Hence, the decision is on you.

How to complete upgrades in Quarantine Zone

Once you have enough RP, you can start upgrading your tools. But first, you’ll have to upgrade your base (essential if you play the campaign). How you choose to get the remaining upgrades, then, depends on you.

While the upgrades in the beginning are easy to get, the more advanced ones will require more RPs. Unless you’re in dire need of cash, you should send more survivors to the lab for additional Research Points.
