A brand new promo is out now in FC 24, and it's a special one as EA celebrates 15 years of Ultimate Team.
Formerly known as FUT Birthday, Ultimate Birthday marks the 15th anniversary of the much-loved online game mode by releasing upgraded players, new PlayStyle+ introductions, fan-favourite Icons, and other Ultimate Birthday surprises.
Speaking of Icons, a bunch of footballing legends have been included in their own Ultimate Birthday team, giving players the chance to pack some of the best stars to ever grace the pitch, and we have the all-important details you need about Ultimate Birthday Icons Team 1.
Ultimate Birthday Icons Team 1
The Ultimate Birthday promo is here after it was released into FC 24 Ultimate Team on 15 March at 6 pm GMT, and a team full of Icons has also dropped as part of the celebrations.
Just as we saw during the Future Stars promo, Icons have their own team alongside current players during Ultimate Birthday, and there are some insane players in both squads!
EA has already revealed Team 1 for present players, which includes the likes of Lionel Messi, Kevin De Bruyne, Karim Benzema, and Alex Morgan, but they aren't stopping there!
That's because we now know who is an Ultimate Birthday Icon in Team 1, and the featured names certainly don't disappoint. As is the case with the current player cards, some of the Icons also have two separate versions, one with Five-Star Skill Moves and the other with a Five-Star Weak Foot.
First, we will check out two of the highest-rated Icons before listing the rest below.
Ruud Gullit (94 OVR - 5* SM)
One of the greatest footballers of all time, Dutch legend Ruud Gullit has been recognised during the Ultimate Birthday promo with an incredible 94-rated CF card filled with some insane stats. These include 91 pace, 92 shooting, 93 passing, 91 dribbling, 86 defending, 91 physical and Five-Star Skill Moves. Gullit also has the Power Shot and Finesse Shot PlayStyles+.
Thierry Henry (94 OVR - 5* SM & 5* WF)
You don't get many strikers like Thierry Henry anymore, and his breathtaking ability is highlighted by the release of not one, but two versions of his Ultimate Birthday card. Coming with both Five-Star Skill Moves and a Five-Star Weak Foot, Henry possesses 97 pace, 93 shooting, 86 passing, 93 dribbling, and 84 physical. The Frenchman also has the Rapid and Finesse Shot PlayStyles+.
