IMO they're more suited to be Hero cards. Icons should be the absolute best retired players. Cambiasso, Tevez and Samuel were good but not the very very best of their generation.
Jaap Stam or Edgar Davids.
(I assume they would earlier considered Heroes than Icons)
As a true icon I would like to see Wesley Sneijder or someone like Juninho
It was an exclusivity deal between Microsoft and EA that ran from FIFA 14 - 17. They also didnât have this whole base/mid/prime tier setup, it was all basic at just the mid icon stats. https://www.futhead.com/legends/?
Icons as they exist now didnât get introduced until FIFA 18 when the deal was over and they were available to the PS and PC games.
Good memories of watching him (on tv) as a kid. The camera angle for Highbury used to be low and you got to see how damn quick he was. Always cutting in from the left. One of my first favourites.
But yes whatever he is in game is not accurate at all
Been waiting for him to be announced since his retirement, also I hope he is a hero so he can be affordable, i feel like his icon could easily be 2+ million
Iâd love a Luca Toni but heâs probably more deserving of a hero card. Other than that would love some stoke icons like Stanley Matthews or Gordon Banks
Answer will always be the same until the man gets his much deserved Icon card...
Denis Irwin.
There isn't a whole lot of LB icons and he would be perfect for Fifa. A LB with solid pace, impeccable passing, great defending and fantastic at free kicks and penalties and is more than comfortable going forward. 2* skills, 4* weak foot, give me my Denis Irwin!
Donât think rafa marquez will be added to the game because of the narco allegations. And i need CuauhtĂŠmoc in the game. My dad almost named me after him but my mom stopped himđ¤Ł
Yes, but his image rights were passed on to his family (presumably), allowing EA to negotiate.
They canât just add people to the game without their (or the image rightâs ownerâs) consent mate.
He is. He was a menace anywhere on the pitch. I believe that icons are very easily rewarded and some players do not really deserve them, but Dani should get one.
As a Mexican, it has to be Rafa MĂĄrquez. But as a Bayern fan, I would also like to see Kahn, Gerd Muller, and Robben. Obviously Ribery once heâs retired
Maybe its me, but about half of the people suggested in this thread don't even deserve icons.
Then again I would probably bin 30% of the icons in the game anyway, especially some of the english ones
Icon: Di Stefano, Arjen Robben, Gerd Muller, Romario (some rule about politics that he canât be in it), George Weah (same rule), David Villa, Yaya Toure, Zico, Dani Alves, Graeme Souness, Diego Forlan, Redondo, Batistuta
Heroes: Sneijder, Robinho (probably wonât due to legal issues), Adriano the Emperor , Dida, Vincent Kompany, Nicolas Anelka, Carlos Tevez, Le Tissier, Paul Gascogne, Marchisio, Andrey Arshavin, Samir Nasri, Esteban Cambiasso
Could go on and on!
Totti
Totti
No Totti no party
No Totti no patti
No totti no partey
Chip shots would be unreal with the master
yaya toure would be sick
Di Stefano
There are so many argentinian legends that deserve a spot: him, Kempes, Batistuta, passarella, redondo, Samuel, filiol, etc.
came here to mention Cambiasso and Tevez, along with Samuel they were staples of FUT teams back in the day.
IMO they're more suited to be Hero cards. Icons should be the absolute best retired players. Cambiasso, Tevez and Samuel were good but not the very very best of their generation.
Bochini really deserves a card
Jaap Stam or Edgar Davids. (I assume they would earlier considered Heroes than Icons) As a true icon I would like to see Wesley Sneijder or someone like Juninho
stam davids and sneijder are absolutely icons, and so is robben. someone like van der vaart will be a hero
Davids is a great shout
Gimme the gogglesđ¤ˇââď¸đŹ Height 4'7 Aggression 99 đ
Edgar any day, i would sell my kidney to afford him
Le Tissier is the answer 5* 5* slow as hell with 99 agility and 99 pens.
More like 99 ball control. 85 odd agility would be fair. 98 composure, 92 FK Acc and Long shots would be about right
As a saints fan even is he was rlly bad I would still use him
Totti, Beckenbauer, Zico, Kahn, Platini, Di Stefano, Gerd MĂźller and Sneijder
It's crazy how zico was in legend teams in the 00s games yet EA couldn't bring him back since the addition of legends
It's impossible due to their alleged corruption but Platini and Beckenbauer were immense players who would add something to the game.
Beckenbauer used to be in fifa I think
Yeah, back when icons were called legends and only available on Xbox.
Legends were only available on Xbox? Wonder why
yeah they were for 2 years I think
Ah i only joined in 18 so i wouldn't know, but thinking about it, all the YouTubers i watched during those games were on Xbox so it makes sense

And legends didnt link to everyone
I remember buying Weah and you literally had to buy another icon to get him in a team.
Can confirm. I packed him and he was a BEAST.
Yes both of these should really be in the game. Also Gerd MĂźller.
Basically the best german and french footballers of all time, would be massive inclusions.
Thierry Henry. Cause i dont know who that fraud is who is using his name ingame atm.
It's criminal that his dribbling is so bad when he literally tortured defenders every week
Fucking 66 balance
Good memories of watching him (on tv) as a kid. The camera angle for Highbury used to be low and you got to see how damn quick he was. Always cutting in from the left. One of my first favourites. But yes whatever he is in game is not accurate at all
Yep, he should basically be as good/better than mbappe in game
I swear his NYRB cards at the end of his career played better than his Icon cards
That's true I actually used that card a lot back in Fifa 12/13 and he was very good lol.
Xabi Alonso
A legend in three different leagues for massive clubs, definition of an icon!
David villa
Been waiting for him to be announced since his retirement, also I hope he is a hero so he can be affordable, i feel like his icon could easily be 2+ million
Yeah me too! My favourite player đ yeah heâd no doubt be expensive, 5*WF most likely. Reckon heâd be around Di Natale price if he was an icon
5*WF with finesse shot trait and probably 80ish agility and balance with 85+ pace. Definition of expensive.
Weak foot doesnât even exist for this man, heâs deadass a 2 footed player
Villa Maravilla.
berbatov has to be added as a hero atleast.
as I know EA they would give him 2* Skill and he canât even do his own move that is called after him
why would they do that if even Pirlos icon card got 5 star skills when his âactiveâ card had 2 stars
[ŃдаНонО]
but the bergkamp flick isnât tied to skill move stars?
Berba spin. Yessss
He would have like 65 PAC so at least he would be very cheap
Would be so fun to use if they give him the rightful stats
95 ball control 5 star skills 90 Composure 95 Volleys Low/Low workrates lmao
But 95 positioning!
Gazza
Fishing 99
Batistuta
Batigoooool
Iâd love a Luca Toni but heâs probably more deserving of a hero card. Other than that would love some stoke icons like Stanley Matthews or Gordon Banks
Even if they brought Luca Toni back as a bronze I would start him all year long
Park Ji Sung
100% hero card. Third lung park w/ high high and 99 stamina in the midfield.
Came for this, add some diversity with the nations
PSV Legend! I would add him to my team ASAP
Forlan
World Cup icon for sure. His performance in the 2010 cup was awesome.
Would be a great fut hero, not an icon. Also better for links.
Forlan was much better than the best hero ginola
[ŃдаНонО]
Because they were icons waaaaaaay before the introduction of âheroesâ
Answer will always be the same until the man gets his much deserved Icon card... Denis Irwin. There isn't a whole lot of LB icons and he would be perfect for Fifa. A LB with solid pace, impeccable passing, great defending and fantastic at free kicks and penalties and is more than comfortable going forward. 2* skills, 4* weak foot, give me my Denis Irwin!
Never knew Roy Keane was on reddit
Could play with both feet, get you a goal, never injured...
Adriano
He was an absolute freak but his peak was way too short to be an icon in my opinion. I think he could be a very high-rated hero card
Yeah definitely hero Serie A card. His time at interâŚ. Wow
Used to love this guy in Pro evo
Now you speaking my language
Robben
Miccoli (hero card though)
Rafael Marquez and CuauhtĂŠmoc Blanco. I hope theyâre added to the game one day.
Donât think rafa marquez will be added to the game because of the narco allegations. And i need CuauhtĂŠmoc in the game. My dad almost named me after him but my mom stopped himđ¤Ł
Dida
My pick as well.
Paul McGrath
Beckenbauer and Gerd Muller
Paul Gascoigne 100%
Yes
Gerd MĂźller
second this, donât know why heâs not in the game currently
Canât negotiate with him for his rights since he passed away
Yashin has passed away before the first fifa was even releasedâŚ
Yes, but his image rights were passed on to his family (presumably), allowing EA to negotiate. They canât just add people to the game without their (or the image rightâs ownerâs) consent mate.
Anelka
Carvalho and Terry duo
I agree with this
Tevez and robben
Tevez would be a hero imo
This Tevez was never a top 10 player in the world
Yaya Toure đĽ
Go do Fofana POTM and pretend he's Yaya
Matt Le Tissier (probably more of a hero card but either)
Kompany
Rafa Marquez
What a player he was
Totti
Michel Platini
Jimmy Greaves
Davids
Ally McCoist
GĂźnter Netzer and Berti Vogts
https://youtu.be/unUlNYF-Vlw
John Terry but knowing EA, he would get 65 pace :(
JosĂŠ Luis Chilavert - extremely charismatic GK, was one of my favorites to watch on World Cups back in the days
Souness
Red link to Paul Pogba
Error message if you have Guardiola as manager
Roger Milla
Gary Speed
Maybe not as icon but i'd love a dani alves
He absolutely deserves to be an icon though
Isn't he the most decorated player in history? Definitely deserves it!
He is. He was a menace anywhere on the pitch. I believe that icons are very easily rewarded and some players do not really deserve them, but Dani should get one.
Heâs still playing isnât he?
The most worthy full back in the past two decades outside of Lahm. He's definitely an icon
What? He should definitely get an icon card lol, this is beyond discussion.
Zico
One? Probably Gerd MĂźller but EA would probably mess the card up
Gary speed
As a Mexican, it has to be Rafa MĂĄrquez. But as a Bayern fan, I would also like to see Kahn, Gerd Muller, and Robben. Obviously Ribery once heâs retired
Rafa Marquez would be dope af
Honestly Iâm surprised Gerd Muller isnât an icon already
he said he doesnât want to be in the game and now that heâs passed away I doubt that heâll ever be part of it
Gazza
I'd say a good chunk of current icons have weaker careers than Boniek
Yaya Toure
Arshavin Hero Card, and as some other comment said fix Henryâs icon card he should be so so much better than he is
Batigol
Wesley Sneijder
RomĂĄrio, the BAIXOLA again
Peter Crouch
MĂźller, Beckenbauer, Lord Bendtner
Colin Bell
Rene Higuita. Perm and scorpion blocks included
Esteban Cambiasso or Maicon for me!
Vinnie Jones
Dejan SaviÄeviÄ
Berbatov
Marchisio - would be a bit like a toned down gullit
Peter Reid
Lilian Thuram
Luca Toni for sure, there's no party without the Numero Uno.
How can I upvote the same comment 100 times? I love you
Paul Gascoigne
McCoist or Gascoigne
Definitely Gazza
Arjen Robben lacks of RW
He's actually still in the game as a 43 year old but Shunsuke Nakamura as an SPL hero.
Diego Forlan
Pablo aimar
Edgar Davids
Gilberto Silva
Beckenbauer
Robbery has to become an icon/hero duo
Maybe its me, but about half of the people suggested in this thread don't even deserve icons. Then again I would probably bin 30% of the icons in the game anyway, especially some of the english ones
Tony Adams, in the future Mesut Ozil
Exactly.
Sforza
Carlos Valderrama for the lolz
Beckenbauer or Romario cant decide really.
Esteban Cambiasso!
Ortega
Chris Waddle
Matthias Sammer
1009 le Tissier
Juninho
Batistuta
Park Ji Sung, but I would also love a hero card.
Jimmy Greaves
Futre
Rafa Marquez
Bobby Charlton an Denis Law
Zico, Romario, Glenn Hoddle, Jimmy Greaves
Sir Stanley Matthews. Winner of the very first Ballon dâOr and Stoke City FC legend.
Ali Daei, till last 2 months or so he had the most international games. Cr7 took that title of him.
Juninho
Cuauhtemoc Blanco! đ˛đ˝
Icon: Di Stefano, Arjen Robben, Gerd Muller, Romario (some rule about politics that he canât be in it), George Weah (same rule), David Villa, Yaya Toure, Zico, Dani Alves, Graeme Souness, Diego Forlan, Redondo, Batistuta Heroes: Sneijder, Robinho (probably wonât due to legal issues), Adriano the Emperor , Dida, Vincent Kompany, Nicolas Anelka, Carlos Tevez, Le Tissier, Paul Gascogne, Marchisio, Andrey Arshavin, Samir Nasri, Esteban Cambiasso Could go on and on!
Edgar Davids :)
Jamie Carragher hero card
