FIFA 23 FUT Heroes list

EA SPORTS is expected to bring back all of the players included in FUT Heroes last year, as well as additional names, which will likely be announced in a staggered way throughout July/August.

We’ve already seen three Premier League favorites, and there’s likely to be plenty more still to come.

The following cards are expected to feature in FIFA 23:

What are FUT Hero cards?

FUT Hero cards are rare items available in Ultimate Team, given to cult heroes and borderline legends of the past. They were first added in FIFA 22, featuring the likes of Diego Milito, Abedi Pele, and Fernando Morientes.

These have similar stats to their previous base cards in games gone by – and can be upgraded during the year.

FIFA 23 FUT Hero card leaks

John Arne Riise – Premier League

On June 4, leaker FutBull revealed the first Hero card to be added to the mix – Liverpool’s John Arne Riise.

The Norwegian fullback scored some scorching goals for the Reds and played a huge role in the Anfield club’s fifth European Cup triumph. While Riise actually missed his penalty in the 2005 shootout against AC Milan, his celebrations will live long in the memory.

It’s worth noting that leaks can come from accurate and inaccurate sources, so while these give an indication of who may be included in the FIFA 23 Hero set, take it with a pinch of salt until rumors are confirmed.

How to get free FUT Hero cards

It is expected that a promotional FUT Hero card will be available for FIFA 23 pre-orders, if placed before the deadline. This would reflect the offer for Ultimate Edition in the previous game, as well as Ones to Watch cards for some players too.

These free cards will be released in December 2022, if the timetable is kept to.

In addition to that, FUT Hero Squad Building Challenges will be rolled out during the game’s lifecycle, allowing FUT Club Owners to get their hands on some cult heroes. For example, last year there was a Player Pick SBC.

FIFA 23 FUT Hero x Marvel collab

Just after the first batch of FIFA 23 FUT Heroes were announced, rumors began to circulate about a possible crossover with comic-book legends Marvel. These were sparked by an image that surfaced that seemed to show the FIFA 23 and Marvel logos side-by-side.

And now we can confirm that, yes, there will be a FIFA and Marvel collab in FUT 23. Though, we won’t be seeing Iron Man flying down the down in FUT Champs.

Instead, a select group of FUT World Cup Heroes including Yaya Toure, Park Ji-Sung, Claudio Marchisio, Diego Forlan, Rafa Marquez, Lucio, Javier Mascherano, and the returning Landon Donovan will have unique comic book-inspired card art. These will be available through a pre-order bonus.

On top of that, there will also be Marvel-inspired Heroes items including tifos, kits, balls, and more that you can use in FUT 23.
