EA Sports FC 24 Icons: All New Legends Confirmed

EA Sports FC 24 is coming, with the brand new game signalling the start of a brand new era in sports gaming.

As with the start of any new era, major changes and additions will be made in order for this title to stand out compared to the rest.

One way EA can do that is through Ultimate Team, with their ever-changing roster of Icon and Heroes once again set to see some additions and potential removals.

Check below for everything we know about Icons in EA Sports FC 24.

EA Sports FC 24 Icons

Icon cards are some of the most powerful in Ultimate Team and are given to legends of the game who have now retired.

There are presently 100 Icon cards in FIFA 23, each with multiple card variants, starting with Base Icon cards and upgrading from there.

They are extremely rare to pack, so the most likely way to get them in your squad is through regular SBCs that offer either a specific player as a reward or through the annual Icons Swaps season in Ultimate Team.

Leaked Icons & Heroes

According to the ever-reliable Fut Sheriff, a number of ex-footballers and greats of the game are currently in testing ahead of the release of EA Sports FC 24.

The Ultimate Team leaker has stipulated that at this time it is impossible to know which players will be FUT Heroes and which will be Icons.

The full leaked list of players in testing is as follows:

• Carlos Tevez
• Vincent Kompany
• Wesley Sneijder
• Sergio Aguero
• Ramires
• Arjen Robben
• Arda Turan
• Bobby Charlton
• Zico
• DaMarcus Beasley
• Dimitar Berbatov
• Franck Ribery
• Gianluca Vialli
• John Arne Riise
• Nwankwo Kanu
• Paulo Futre
• Enzo Francescoli
• Shunsuke Nakamura
• Steve McManaman
• Tomas Rosicky
• Bixente Lizarazu
• Ludovic Giuly

New Icon Predictions

EA Sports usually introduce new Icons every year, with some stars potentially exiting due to contractual or licensing issues.

With that in mind, here are three players that we believe could be added as Icons in EA Sports FC 24:

• David Villa
• Jimmy Greaves
• Francesco Totti

All of the names mentioned above are legends in their own rights, and none of them have pre-existing license deals with a FIFA competitor.

Villa and Greaves are goalscoring legends that deserved to be honoured, and we’d love to see Totti return to FUT as one of the classiest Icon cards in the game.

Icon Card Types

Every Icon has three main card variants – Base, Mid and Prime.

The Base Icon is the lowest rated of the lot, with the ratings increasing with the Mid and Prime versions.

In past titles, we have had Prime Icon Moments cards, which were the highest-rated version of Icons in the game, however, EA has introduced the new Campaign Icon type this season.

These will be released at various stages in the FUT cycle and will coincide with the promo of the time.

This has been done so that Icons feel more in line with the power creep that happens throughout the Ultimate Team campaign, with EA stating in their Pitch Notes for FIFA 23:

Through smaller, more frequent Campaign ICON releases as part of our campaigns, our hope is that ICONs will feel in-line with campaign content as we go deeper into the FUT 23 cycle, helping maintain their legendary status.

We will update this page regularly as more Icon info is confirmed for EA Sports FC 24.
