Summary
EA Sports has officially revealed the new Class of '27 Icons for EA FC 27, bringing 10 legendary players into Ultimate Team. The group includes major names such as Sergio Agüero, Raphaël Varane, Christine Sinclair, Pepe, and Karl-Heinz Rummenigge. Their ratings, face stats, and PlayStyles have now been revealed, giving players an early look at which legends could dominate the new Ultimate Team meta.
Christine Sinclair Leads the Class
Christine Sinclair is the highest-rated new Icon, reaching 91 OVR in her upgraded Champions version. The Canadian striker boasts 85 Pace, 90 Shooting, 84 Passing, 92 Dribbling, and 86 Physical, with Finesse Shot+ as her standout PlayStyle+. Her combination of finishing, movement, and technical ability could make her one of the most dangerous attacking Icons.
Sergio Agüero also arrives with a 90 OVR rating. His card features 90 Pace, 89 Shooting, 80 Passing, and 88 Dribbling, while Finesse Shot+ complements additional PlayStyles including Chip Shot, Low Driven Shot, First Touch, Technical, and Tiki Taka.
Varane, Pepe and Rummenigge
Defensive players get two exciting additions. Raphaël Varane is rated 90 OVR with 82 Pace, 90 Defending, and 84 Physical, making his Anticipate+ PlayStyle particularly valuable for winning the ball. Pepe, meanwhile, comes in at 89 OVR with 89 Defending, 87 Physical, and Bruiser+.
Up front, Karl-Heinz Rummenigge reaches 90 OVR and combines 91 Pace, 89 Shooting, and 91 Dribbling. His First Touch+, Rapid, Low Driven Shot, and Finesse Shot PlayStyles could make him a nightmare for defenders.
PlayStyles Could Define the Meta
Other new Icons include Formiga, Hege Riise, Tobin Heath, Yūki Nagasato, and Ellen White. Their upgraded cards feature PlayStyle+ abilities such as Intercept+, Pinged Pass+, Quick Step+, Incisive Pass+, and Rapid+.
However, these upgraded Champions versions are not necessarily the cards players will receive from normal packs. The new Icon system includes special Debut versions tied to the pre-order program, with upgrades scheduled later in 2026.
Final Verdict
The new FC 27 Icons offer an impressive mix of elite attackers, midfielders, and defenders. Agüero and Rummenigge immediately stand out for attacking squads, while Varane and Pepe could become defensive staples. If you want to build around these new legends, preparing enough FC 27 Coins can give you more flexibility when upgrading your Ultimate Team.
