FIFA 19 ratings: Every Icon confirmed – Scholes, Zola, Figo the latest FUT cards revealed
FIFA 19 is nearly here, and EA Sports have already started revealing some of their Icon player ratings ahead of the new game.
FIFA 19 is officially launched this month, and EA Sports have been stirring up excitement by announcing a selection of new Ultimate Team Icons.
A host of legends have been introduced alongside the returning Icons who featured in FIFA 18, meaning gamers can pack their FUT XIs full of heroes from the past.
Developers EA Sports unveiled 10 new FUT Icons earlier this year, revealing how the likes of Steven Gerrard, Frank Lampard and Johan Cruyff will be obtainable in the popular game mode.
And today a bundle of other legendary figures have also been announced, including the return of George Best after the Manchester United ace was omitted from the previous game.
Best originally featured in FIFA 16 and was also included the following year before a hiatus, but the Northern Irishman is now back with an outstanding 93 rating.
The right winger has superb speed and dribbling attributes across all three cards which have been revealed, although his defending leaves a lot to be desired.
Meanwhile, Chelsea star Gianfranco Zola will be available alongside Premier League stalwarts Ryan Giggs and Paul Scholes while Hristo Stoichkov and Christian Vieri have also been unveiled.
Brazilian midfielder Socrates will also be making his debut in the franchise, boasting phenomenal physical attributes to complement his technical skills.
There are plenty of other new arrivals in Ultimate Team this year with Arsenal stopper Jens Lehmann and former Germany captain Michael Ballack joining the fray.
Current AC Milan boss Gennaro Gattuso has also been included while fans will be eager to get their hands on a prime Luis Figo card.
Johan Cruyff and Rivaldo are two of the biggest names already announced as Icon cards on the upcoming game, while Eusebio, Raul and Roberto Baggio have also been created.
EA Sports could yet announce further Icons ahead of the game’s release on September 28, but take a look and see all the legendary players announced so far.
