After spending seven years as a blue, Eden Hazard will always be remembered as a club legend. During his tenure, Hazard won two Premier League titles, an FA Cup, two Europa League titles, and won Chelsea Player of the Year four times.
The dynamic winger will be one of the best Heroes to use, and we expect to see him in many starting 11s.
Jamie Carragher fulfilled every soccer fan’s dream by making over 700 appearances for his boyhood club. With Liverpool, Carragher’s crowning achievement was winning a Champions League trophy.
A hero for club and country, Tim Howard is widely recognized as one of the best American soccer players ever. Howard helped lead the Toffies to a memorable FC Cup victory and is the most capped goalkeeper of all-time for the United States men’s national team with 121 appearances.
During a magical six-year run at Inter Milan, Maicon emerged as one of the best right-backs in the world, and the Brazilian will be a must-use card in Ultimate Team.
Celia Sasic Capped off her career with a Golden Boot in the 2015 World Cup and went down as one of the best goal-scorers in German history. Remember Sasic scored the game-winning goal to deliver Frankfurt a Women’s Champions League title and is forever a club legend.
Every new ICON
- Gianluigi Buffon (91 overall)
- Gareth Bale (88 overall)
- Nadine Angerer (92 overall)
- Julie Foudy (90 overall)
- Marinette Pichon (88 overall)
- Aya Miyama (90 overall)
- Lotta Schelin (90 overall)
- Thuram (90 overall)
Buffon forever etched his name as one of the greatest goalkeepers ever. The Italian shot-stopper holds the record for most Serie A appearances and is one of only a few players to eclipse 1,100 professional matches.
Buffon finished with 10 Serie A trophies, one World Cup, and 10 Goalkeeper Of The Season awards.
Known for his memorable goals, blistering pace, and dribbling ability, Bale is a legendary winger despite having a lackluster final saga. Bale broke out onto the scene with Tottenham, and had a few remarkable seasons at Real Madrid.
Foudy played a pivotal role in the United States Women’s national team’s emergence in the 1990s and early 2000s. The reliable center-midfielder finished with 274 caps and won two World Cups and two Olympic gold medals.
It’s hard to find a better pure goal scorer than Marinette Pichon. The accomplished striker scored 81 goals in 112 matches with France and scored 89 goals in just 58 caps at Paris FC.
During the United States Women’s national team’s era of dominance, they rarely lost in the most significant matches. However, Miyama was part of the team that took down the US in the 2011 World Cup and had an illustrious career in Japan’s professional women’s soccer league.
Schelin finished as Sweeden’s top goal scorer with 88 goals in 185 caps. If that wasn’t enough, she scored 143 goals in 138 matches at Lyon and scored 92 goals in 123 appearances at Goteborg. We expect her to be one of the best ICONS in the game.
Soccer fans might be familiar with Inter Milan striker Marcus Thuram, but his father, Lillian Thuram, was a legendary player. Thuram helped lead France to a 1 World Cup Cup victory in 1998 and won EURO 2000.
Thuram and France finished second at the 2006 World Cup and he finished his career as the most capped player in the history of France soccer.
