Thunderstruck Icon players
Thunderstruck Icons is here, and it is stacked with some of the greatest players to ever play the game.
Like with every promo, we will go through the best three players before listing the rest below, so let's take a look at who is featured in the Thunderstruck Icon team!
Johan Cruyff (Icon - 94 OVR)
Dutch Icon Johan Cruyff is part of the Thunderstruck promo and is representing Ajax. The Eredivisie side has had a torrid start to the season, but has recuperated some form over the last few weeks, meaning Cruyff could upgrade to a 96 OVR! Cruyff has some incredible stats, including 91 pace, 92 shooting, 91 passing, and 94 dribbling!
Ronaldinho (Icon - 94 OVR)
The Brazilian trickster is one of the most fun players in Ultimate Team and is representing Barcelona in the Thunderstruck promo. Ronaldinho has been upgraded to a 94-rated LW card, and packing him will change your Ultimate Team for the rest of the game cycle, whether he is Untradeable and in your team, or you sell him and make millions!
Ferenc Puskas (Icon - 93 OVR)
Hungarian Icon Ferenc Puskas is also featured as a Thunderstruck Icon and is 93-rated. Puskas' pace, shooting, passing, and dribbling are all above 90, and he looks insane in game. Add him to your Ultimate Team, and you are golden for a striker! He is another player that costs millions as a Thunderstruck Icon, but definitely is worth the money!
Here are all of the players included in the Thunderstruck Icon Team:
- Gerd Muller (93 OVR)
- Thierry Henry (92 OVR)
- Cafu (92 OVR)
- Eric Cantona (90 OVR)
- Kaka (90 OVR)
- Alessandro Nesta (90 OVR)
- Edwin Van der Sar (89 OVR)
- Paul Scholes (89 OVR)
- Xabi Alonso (88 OVR)
- Robert Pires (88 OVR)
Thunderstruck players
For the first team this year, EA has dropped two teams at once, giving players a full squad of Icons, and a full squad of Thunderstruck players.
We will highlight the best three from the Thunderstruck squad, and list the rest below, just like we have with the Icon squad!
Vinicius Jr (Real Madrid - 90 OVR)
Brazilian winger Vinicius Jr joins his first promo of the year, upgrading by +1 OVR to a 90 rating. The Real Madrid star has some incredible stats with 96 pace, and 91 dribbling being the standouts. Real Madrid face Cadiz, Granada, Real Betis, and Villarreal in their next four matches, so Vinicius could be seeing himself upgraded to a 92-rated player!
Bernardo Silva (Manchester City - 90 OVR)
Bernardo Silva features in the Thunderstruck promo and has been given an incredible upgraded card by EA. The Portuguese midfielder looks fantastic with 80 pace, 80 shooting, 88 passing, and 94 dribbling. Silva looks like a fun card to use, and although Manchester City face Liverpool and Spurs in their next two matches, they are the best team in Europe, so he could be upgraded further.
Neymar Jr (Al Hilal - 90 OVR)
Neymar Jr has a promo card, and it is a CAM position! EA has changed his position to centre attacking midfield, which is where most players have had the most fun whilst using the Brazilian star! Neymar has 87 pace, 85 shooting, 87 passing, and 94 dribbling, and is now the most sought-after CAM on FC 24 Ultimate Team!
Here are the rest of the players included in the Thunderstruck Team:
- Marie Katoto (PSG - 90 OVR)
- Raphael Varane (Manchester United - 87 OVR)
- Romelu Lukaku (Roma - 87 OVR)
- Gabriel Jesus (Arsenal - 86 OVR)
- Alphonso Davies (Bayern Munich - 85 OVR)
- Joelinton (Newcastle United - 85 OVR)
- Lukas Klostermann (RB Leipzig - 85 OVR)
- Juan Cuadrado (Inter Milan - 85 OVR)
