While the best players of today are always go-to pick ups in EA FC Ultimate Team, there’s nothing more exciting than securing an Icon to really take things to the next level.

In EA FC 25, Icons naturally return but alongside the usuals, there are some new faces available that may be the key to winning more games with silky skill moves and high base stats.

Here, we’ll take a look at the EA FC 25 Icons in full, revealing all of the new and returning legends that you can pack this year.

New EA FC 25 Icons

Some fresh faces in the Icon pool are always great, potentially bringing different styles to your gameplay.

While many were touting Eden Hazard as a nailed on selection to make the cut, he is instead a Hero.

There is a former Real Madrid star on the list though, who is partial to an overhead kick…

Aya Miyama (90 OVR)
Gareth Bale (88 OVR)
Gianluigi Buffon (91 OVR)
Julie Foudy (90 OVR)
Lilian Thuram (90 OVR)
Lotta Schelin (90 OVR)
Marinette Pichon (88 OVR)
Nadine Angerer (92 OVR)
