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.
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.
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.
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)
After three decades, 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 (2006), and 10 Goalkeeper Of The Season awards.
Gareth Bale (88 overall)
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 peaked during 2012-13 when he won the Player of the Season award. Then he moved to Real Madrid, where he had a few remarkable seasons earning every title including five UEFA Champions League crowns.

He retired as Wales’ most capped player and top scorer.
Nadine Angerer (92 overall)
Goalkeeper Nadine Angerer played in the Frauen-Bundesliga and won it all while in the Turbine Potsdam club. She was Germany’s starting goalkeeper at the 2007 FIFA Women’s World Cup and is well remembered because she did not concede a single goal, including a penalty in the final against Brazil.
She won the UEFA Women’s EURO title in 2013 and became the first keeper – male or female – to be named FIFA World Player of the Year.
Julie Foudy (90 overall)
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 her outstanding career with 274 caps and won two World Cups (1991 and 1999) and two Olympic gold medals.
Marinette Pichon (88 overall)
The striker Marinette Pichon left France to join the first-ever fully professional female league in the United States. She then returned to lead her country to their first participation in the FIFA Women’s World Cup in 2003 where Pichon scored the first goal in Les Bleues history.
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.
Aya Miyama (90 overall)
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.
Lotta Schelin (90 overall)
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.
She earned three UEGA Women’s Champions League titles with the Olympique Lyonnais and eight league crowns. We expect her to be one of the best ICONS in the game.
Lillian Thuram (90 overall)
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.
He won the 1998-99 UEFA Cup with Parma, 2 Serie A titles with Juventus, and then Thuram and France finished second at the 2006 World Cup. He retired as the most capped player in the history of France soccer.
