New EA FC 26 Icons leaked with fan-favourite striker set for Ultimate Team return

It looks like we now know a handful of new players set to arrive in EA FC 26 Ultimate Team, with leakers revealing a host of new EA FC 26 Icons that are expected to be added to the game.

EA FC 26 isn't set to be released for nearly three more months, but with EA Sports still being in the thick of it with EA FC 25, we already seem to know lots of details about the latest EA Sports FC instalment. No, this isn't some fantastic multitasking by EA, but instead, leakers are revealing all about EA FC 26 before any official announcement.

From the EA FC 26 release date to Ultimate Edition pre-order bonuses, leakers aren't leaving much to be found out when EA eventually lifts the lid on its new game, and now, it appears we may know a handful of new EA FC 26 Icons coming to the game, including one of the best strikers to ever play the game (football, not FC), Zlatan Ibrahimovic.

New EA FC 26 Icons leaked

Reliable leaker @FutSheriff has that Swedish striker Ibrahimovic will be a new Icon in EA FC 26, with the former Milan, Inter, Barcelona, Paris Saint-Germain and Manchester United player currently included in the testing phases of EA FC 26.

Ibrahimovic was always a fan-favourite player to use in Ultimate Team, especially his Flashback player item in FIFA 19. According to the leaker, Ibrahimovic is set to arrive as a 91-rated striker with the Power Shot PlayStyle Plus, but with these stats in the testing phase, there's every chance that they may change in the future.

Spanish midfield maestro Andreas Iniesta is set to come as a new Icon in EA FC 26, while fellow midfield genius Toni Kroos . @FutSheriff that former Real Madrid and Brazil defender Marcelo will also be returning in EA FC 26 as an Icon, while that Italian legend Francesco Totti will be coming as an EA FC 26 Icon, which is another exciting addition.

Here's a full list of all the Icons set to come in EA FC 26, f. All ratings and positions are predictions:

• ST: Zlatan Ibrahimovic - 91 OVR
• CM: Andreas Iniesta - 92 OVR
• CM: Toni Kroos - 91 OVR
• LB: Marcelo - 91 OVR
• CB: Giorgio Chiellini - 88 OVR
• ST: Alex Morgan - 92 OVR
• CAM: Francesco Totti - 87 OVR
• GK: Oliver Kahn - 94 OVR
• LB: Sara Thunebro - 89 OVR
• ST: Cha Bum-kun - 88 OVR
• CB: Steffi Jones - 88 OVR
• CAM: Sissi - 90 OVR

Along with these players, leaker that Brazilian legend Dunga and German legend Oliver Bierhoff could be new Icons in EA FC 26, with the duo being added to FC Online earlier this year, just like Gareth Bale was last year, ahead of his EA FC 25 reveal. But, neither of these have appeared in @FutSheriff's leaks, so we will have to wait and see!

Two new Icons, Diego Maradona and Franz Beckenbauer, were added to EA FC 25 Ultimate Team as Icons earlier this year, and this duo will remain in the game for EA FC 26. But, we may see some Icons removed from the game or turned into Heroes, with EA having done this a few times over the last few years.

Ibrahimovic's return to Ultimate Team may come as a surprise to some, especially if you remember the disagreement between the Swede and EA back in 2020. In a , Ibrahimovic accused EA and FIFPro of using his name and face without permission.

Bale also about the situation, but the Welshman is now back in EA FC 25, so it's not an issue that stuck. The truth about what happened, and the remarks made by Ibrahimovic and Bale, have more to do with FIFPro and their backing of agent reforms, with the players' respective agents at the time - the late Mino Raiola and Jonathan Barnett - against the reform proposals.
