We are hoping for some exciting new legends to return to the game next season, so here is who we think could join the growing list of ICONs on FIFA Ultimate Team.
Wayne Rooney (OVR 90 - 92 - 88)

+ 7Is it time for Wayne Rooney to become an ICON?
England’s record goalscorer has now officially retired, paving the way for Wazza to join the ICON ranks.
Ricardo Carvalho (OVR 87 - 90 - 88)

Having won the league title in England, Spain and Portugal, Carvalho is one of the best defenders of his generation.
Adriano (OVR 86 - 90 - 85)

Former Inter powerhouse Adriano was almost unstoppable in his heyday, and a set of ICONs could prove very popular.
Yaya Toure (OVR 87 - 89 - 91)
click to enlarge + 7Not yet officially retired, Yaya Toure has recently spoken of his desire to continue playing.
However, if that does not come to fruition, we would love to see the Ivorian become a FUT ICON. If not Yaya, we wouldn’t mind Kolo either!
Andres Iniesta (OVR 88 - 93 - 86)

We can’t wait to be able to re-unite prime Iniesta and Xavi in midfield!
Kompany return?
We would love to see former Belgium and Manchester City city centre back Vincent Kompany return on FIFA 22.

Leaked Icons
Seven legends of football have been 'leaked' ahead of FIFA 22.
It is rumoured that these players will be returning to the game as Icon players in Ultimate Team.
