The launch for FIFA 22 is getting ever closer, so understandably we are seeing more and more news begin to surface ahead of the new game.

One of the most exciting rumours going around is the addition of loads of new Icons and the introduction of FUT Heroes Club.

With that in mind, FutWatch on Twitter has shared the ratings of some of the potential newcomers and some of them look incredible.
