The FIFA 22 FUT Champs runs until September 28. EA Sports released a statement after the base version of Thibaut Courtois appeared in FIFA 23 packs instead of the TOTY version.
FIFA 23’s annual TOTY promo started on January 20, 2023. World Cup winner Lionel Messi and Champions League winner Karim Benzema highlight the star-studded line-up. Not to mention Kylian Mbappe and Kevin De Bruyne, who received huge TOTY upgrades.
TOTY goalkeepers are usually overshadowed by flashier midfield and attacker counterparts, but having the right player between the posts is essential in FIFA 23. Thibaut Courtois helped lead Real Madrid to the Champions League title, making nine saves in the final against Liverpool.
The Belgian goalkeeper earned a TOTY card for his outstanding season and fans are excited to add him to their FUT squads. However, players were mistakenly given the base version of Courtois in the packs instead of the TOTY card.

Unfortunately, there is precedent for such errors affecting FUT. Back in October, a tradable FUT Hero Pack with a guarantee of 25,000 coins was released, which caused a huge downturn in the market and many players lost millions of coins. EA has not officially responded, but some support staff have confirmed that players will not be officially compensated.
Players affected by the glitch will receive a TOTY Thibaut Courtois card, but the developers haven’t specified an exact date or time. We will provide an update as we learn more about the situation.
