- +1 chemistry to every league
EA FC fans have been asking for Icons to have +1 for every league over FIFA 23 and now it has finally happened. This will allow squad building to be more lenient and creative while also adding value to icons that are from lesser-used leagues to now be more important.
As we head closer to EA FC 24, we can predict the price of Icons to be higher than that of FIFA 23 now that we understand Icons will add +1 chemistry to every league.
Icon mid and prime cards removed
In an unexpected twist, the forthcoming EA FC 24 release is set to make a notable change to the Icon lineup by removing the Mid and Prime variations, which have traditionally been a cornerstone of the series. This announcement marks a departure from the usual pattern, indicating a deliberate shift in how these iconic player cards will be handled.
The absence of Mid and Prime Icons paves the way for a novel approach to introducing fresh versions of these legendary players. EA Sports is preparing to launch revamped iterations through a series of promotional events, injecting a sense of excitement into the game by unveiling distinctive and dynamic ICON variants that tie in with specific themes or memorable moments.
There are a few Icons from last year's game being changed to Heroes cards, with the removal of the Mid and Prime versions making them practically unusable for a supposed Icon.
Homare Sawa
The latest Icon Women player has been announced with Japanese legend, Homare Sawa being added to EA FC 24.
With 84 Pace, 87 Shooting, 91 Passing, 91 Dribbling, 83 Defending, 76 Physicality- Sawa will be one of the best Icons in the game! Amazing stats for a centre midfielder!
Zico
One of the latest EA FC 24 cards confirmed is Zico who has incredible stats for an attacking midfielder and rightfully so after representing his country Brazil 71 times scoring 48 goals and assisting 21.
Some longtime FIFA players may remember playing with Zico as part of kick-off's Classic XI squad. We are sure that Classic XI vs. World XI brings back a lot of memories.
Anticipation is high for the inclusion of this iconic player. Known for his exceptional skills, style, and contributions to the sport, this Brazilian icon is sure to bring a touch of magic to the game. Get ready to experience the flair and greatness of Brazilian football as this legendary player takes their place among the Icons in EA FC 24.
Franck Ribery
Franck Ribery makes the quick switch from being featured as a player in FIFA 23 to an Icon in EA FC 24, and rightfully so! The French winger was incredible in his Bayern Munich days, with Arjen Robben on the opposite wing, and some believe he should have a Ballon d'Or to his name.
With 5-star skills, Ribery will be very fun to use and likely be very expensive, despite having a fairly low rating for an Icon card.
Bobby Charlton
Bobby Charlton will be an Icon player in EA FC24. Fans are excited to finally experience one of the most iconic legends in the game, adding Charlton to their Ultimate Team.
Manchester United fans will be thrilled to use one of their greats in EA FC 24. Charlton made 758 appearances and scored 249 goals for the club.
Mia Hamm

Camille Abily
Camille Abily will be one of five women's Icons in Ultimate Team this year.
The French attacking midfielder scored 228 goals in 452 games in her club career predominantly with Lyon and is a five-time Champions League winner.
Birgit Prinz
A two-time World Cup winner and three-time FIFA World Player of the Year is bound to become an icon right?
Those are just a few of Birgit Prinz's accolades over her 18-year career.
One of the most decorated players in women's football, Prinz was also a prolific goal scorer, with 282 goals in 282 games during her club career.
