Summary
EA Sports has officially revealed the Class of '27 ICONs for EA Sports FC 27, introducing 10 new legends to Football Ultimate Team. The lineup brings together stars from different generations and both men's and women's football, with Sergio Agüero, Raphaël Varane, Pepe, Christine Sinclair and Karl-Heinz Rummenigge among the biggest names.
New ICONs Arriving in FC 27
The new Class of '27 features Christine Sinclair, Ellen White, Formiga, Hege Riise, Karl-Heinz Rummenigge, Pepe, Raphaël Varane, Sergio Agüero, Tobin Heath and Yūki Nagasato. Sinclair is particularly notable as the first Canadian player to receive ICON status in EA SPORTS FC.
Agüero is arguably one of the most anticipated additions. The former Manchester City striker enters FC 27 with an upgraded 90 OVR version featuring 90 pace, 89 shooting and 88 dribbling, alongside Finesse Shot+. His combination of acceleration, finishing and technical ability could make him a highly desirable FUT striker.
Varane also looks extremely promising for defensive-minded players. His upgraded version reaches 90 OVR with 90 defending, 84 physical and 82 pace, while Anticipate+ strengthens his potential as a top-tier centre-back. Pepe follows with an 89 OVR upgraded card built around 89 defending and 87 physical.
As these new ICONs enter FUT, players will be looking for ways to build competitive squads and afford top-tier cards. Having enough EA FC 27 Coins can make it easier to strengthen your team and take advantage of the new ICON market.
Rummenigge and Sinclair Lead the Attack
Karl-Heinz Rummenigge returns to the spotlight with a 90 OVR upgraded ICON. His 91 pace, 89 shooting and 91 dribbling make him one of the most dangerous attacking options in the new class. Christine Sinclair goes even higher at 91 OVR, with 92 dribbling, 90 shooting and Finesse Shot+.
Meanwhile, Formiga, Hege Riise, Tobin Heath, Nagasato and Ellen White add more versatility across midfield and attack.
Former Heroes Become ICONs
FC 27 also upgrades Lúcio and Yaya Touré from Heroes to full ICON status, while established legends such as Zidane, Gullit, Pirlo, Torres and Schweinsteiger remain part of the ICON lineup.
Final Verdict
The Class of '27 is one of the most diverse ICON additions yet. With elite attackers, powerful defenders and influential midfielders joining the roster, FC 27 Ultimate Team could see major changes to the meta once these cards become available. With the game launching on September 25, 2026, fans will not have to wait much longer to test these new legends.
