As EA FC 25 winds down, excitement is building for EA FC 26 and a new leak has added to the hype. Reliable sources suggest that several football legends are set to become Icons in the next game. From midfield maestros to world-class defenders, the list is stacked with fan favourites.
Zlatan Ibrahimovic is finally getting his Icon moment. After retiring in 2023, fans have been asking for him to be immortalised in Ultimate Team. Known for his powerful shots and flashy goals, he¡¯s expected to be one of the most-used Icons in EA FC 26.
?Andres Iniesta, one of the greatest midfielders of his generation, is also rumoured to join the Icon ranks. His inclusion would complete a legendary FC Barcelona trio alongside already existing Icons Xavi and Puyol.
Real Madrid¡¯s Toni Kroos, who recently hung up his boots, is also expected to be included. His passing stats and calmness under pressure should make him a valuable asset in midfield.
Here are the names leaked so far:
From iconic goalkeepers like Oliver Kahn to legends of the women¡¯s game like Alex Morgan and Steffi Jones, the list is diverse and global. All these players could bring unique PlayStyles under the new FC IQ system.
?Icons in EA FC are more than just high-rated cards. They¡¯re nostalgic picks, with stats tailored to reflect their prime years. Players like Totti and Marcelo could get top-tier dribbling and passing stats, while defenders like Chiellini and Kahn would offer strong defensive and goalkeeping abilities.
Players are already imagining how they¡¯ll build teams around these legends, especially with the flexibility Icons provide in team chemistry.
The leak comes from FUTSheriff, a source with a reliable track record in the EA FC community. While nothing is official until EA confirms it, FUTSheriff has correctly predicted content before.?If these names are indeed coming, EA FC 26 is shaping up to be one of the most exciting entries in the franchise yet.
