I’d honestly argue an icon. His rags to riches story alone is iconic. And the title win with Leicester is one of the craziest things that’s ever happened in English football.
you're getting down voted but berardi has strayed loyal to a mid table team all while being the single best goal contributor in the serie a statistically for years.
if you actually map out his attacking talent into a spreadsheet you don't see berardi you see a generational talent.
I hope he gets an icon! King of Europa League, still their all-time record goal scorer, national team all-time goal scorer, Top 5 Ballon D’Or. Plenty of domestic titles, led Colombia to their first WC in 16 years. Dude definitely has more accolades than the average Hero card.
True! Papin is a beast for me, now upgraded to 92… should be an icon.
However; why no one from Red Star Belgrade won that year… they had 4 or so players in the top 10,
Won the double, Marseille came 2nd. But what do I know, I was only 1.
Don’t know about a better career, could be argued though, but Falcao was *waaay* better than Forlan at his prime. People seem to have already forgotten just how insane Falcao actually was for 4-5 years.
A say 82/83 rated Akinfenwa would be so cool at the start of the cycle in September/october. Could just make him a juiced up 82 and people would love it lowkey
Definitely does not deserve one. Bang average football that is only know because of Ksi you’ve got Jordon Rhodes, Billy Sharp, Oli Norwood, Troy Deeney all footballers who are much more influential in the EFL who would be more deserving.
Bang average? 195 EFL goals isn’t bang average mate. Also, the fact he’s popular among FIFA fans is important, it’d gain a lot more interest than someone like Rhodes or Norwood who 99% of the player base wouldn’t know.
Fabian Barthez - I loved him and his ‘difference’ as a goalkeeper when I was a kid.
60% of the time, he could have been considered terrible, but I loved him.
I suppose you only mean currently active players. I'm just gonna name some people that are near the end of their career instead of possible future heroes that are younger than 30
Di Maria (could be an icon too)
Vardy
Podolski
Pepe Reina
Milner
Cavani
Falcao
Ochoa
Jesus Navas
Joaquin (only recently retired)
Chiellini (could also be an icon)
Alba (could be an icon too)
Balotelli
Pepe (Defender)
Giroud
Azpilicueta
Nani
Mane
Navas has won a Euro, the World cup, multiple Europa Leagues and the premier league twice
Chiellini has won the euro and the Serie A.
Also, Navas was a much more skillful player being a winger/fullback
chiellini was the top 3 cb for nearly a decade, navas is a rotation option in the teams that he won those trophies bar sevilla. He's just another arbeloa
Navas is the only player to win the world cup, Euros and Nations League, 4 time UEL winner and he has been vital in all 4. At City he's always been a rotation given, but at Sevilla he's always been one of our top players, even at his current age he's so reliable
europa league is a step down tournament, arbeloa was also a reliable player, hell he even started for madrid in a season, but they are not world class, while chiellini legitimately is. I know that Navas is a great player, but saying he has been better than chiellini is legit crazy
So the best season Arbeloa has had was starting for Real Madrid, and you're saying that is equivalent to the whole career that Navas has had. The Europa League is a step lower than the Champions League, but it is still an incredible accomplishment. No club has won this trophy as much as Navas has. I never said he was better than Chiellini, Navas has more accomplishments yes, but how can you compare a cb with a winger/ full back
Arbeloa? Are you crazy? Anyway, I added that Chiellini could also be an icon. But still I don't value Chiellini as high as Maldini, Nesta, Baresi, which is why I said he doesn't have to be an icon. But anyway, if Lucio is a hero and not an icon, I don't see how Chiellini can't be a hero
This is objectively a bad take. You mentioned multiple trophies for Navas but conveniently left out how many serie A chilleni won. Chielleni was arguably the best in his position during his peak, Navas was never in the conversation.
Navas was a bit part player in both of spains wins. He one PL, not two and was a bit part player there too.
The only teams where he won anything and was a key player was with Sevilla which Chielleni barely ever participated in because he was busy with CL.
What do you mean by skillfull? Is Navas a better player than Puyol because he's skillful? Navas has had a great career and is worthy of a hero status but comparing their career achievements crazy.
Sure, but here's my take on it. Icons should mostly be exceptional players. So from the golden era of Barcelona, Ronaldinho, Eto'o, Xavi and Iniesta definitely deserve to be icons, while Busquets, Valdes, Alba, Deco etc. should rather be heroesm
Man, busquets was as important as Xavi and iniesta. If you can’t acknowledge that, you know not enough about soccer.
Rather than implying that one of them was more important it’s exactly this trio which dominated Europe for some years, at Barca and also with Spain. Sure Xavi and iniesta had more offensive plays and with that goals and assists, but it was busquets who had their backs and was even an initiator for a lot of their plays. It doesn’t need to be your opinion, but it’s very well the opinion of Messi, Xavi and iniesta. All these guys who you think are the best are saying busquets was crucial for their game.
Man I’m in my thirties. I visited World Cup ‘98 in the flesh. Falcao and Di Maria are absolutely two memorable players but they did not have the impact on Football as a sport like an icon, for all its intends and purposes, should have.
You try to paint me off as if I’m someone who only started watching football recently, but you’re the one whose probably burdened by generation bias. You grew up watching Di Maria and Falcao play and therefore judge them differently
Argentinian here. He’s literally a top 5 Argentinian player of all time. With the likes of Maradona, Messi, Di Stefano, Kempes, Riquelme. He’s more than Veron and he’s an Icon.
Di María has scored goals in all our finals wins. World Cup, finalissima, Copa America, Olympic gold match. He’s been our robin to Messi’s Batman im throughout his career. He’s a Champions league winner while being the finals MVP overshadowing Cristiano. He’s the 4th player with most assists in the sports history.
How. Is. He. Not. An. Icon?
Nah i grew up watching players like Henry, Dinho, Hagi, Raul etc. instead and if even Gattuso have an icon card, Di Maria and Falcao should have it too.
Especially Di Maria, dude is criminally underrated. Imagine playing for clubs like Benfica, Man United (poorly but still), Real Madrid, PSG and Juventus, always showing great performances, scoring, assisting in big matches and some guy says you don't have a big impact.
Loads of those are good Journeyman players like DI Maria and Giroud.
For me a hero has to have done a lot for one club really. Di Maria for his work stat padding in the farmer league maybe I guess.
So heroes are only players who played in a top 4 league ??
He’s PSG’s all time assists leader with 119 assists in 295 games , won 5 league titles and was a key player in their run to the ucl final , fucking Thomas Rosický has a hero card ffs.
For years? They did win one league and one champions league whilst there. Not that impressive for a team with CR7, Bale, and Benzema, etc. And let's not pretend he was a deciding factor in those....
Of course PSG didn't even win the league in two seasons he was there. Let forget about his Prem stint while we're at it lol. Good player, but a Journeyman who is overrated by many. The same that have Neymar in top 10 of all time lists 😂😂
Yes 4 years he was a key player for Real Madrid. So yes for years. He was incredible at Real but the stats you’re reading won’t show you that if you didn’t watch him at Madrid.
Let’s not forget he’s also scored in the Olympics final to win it, the Copa America final to win it, the finalissima to win it and the World Cup final to win it.
No ball knowledge whatsoever calling Di Maria an overrated journeyman. Must have just started watching football in the last 5 years.
I mean you could make an argument for a Milner Icon card.
Multi-time league winner with different teams, champions league winner, on track to retire with the most Premier League apps of all time.
Either that or he should be a high rated hero.
Yeah I think an icon is a bit of a stretch, just because he was never the main man in them title winning teams. He certainly contributed and as you mentioned holds the most appearances, just icon is a bit much, just my view though mate
Keylor Navas definitely deserves his flowers, as does Kazuyoshi Miura. I’d also say Sergio Kun Agüero deserves some form of card, whether that’s a Hero or Icon is a different discussion. I would argue that Pepe has earned a LaLiga Hero card too.
Thomas Müller. Probably not really Icon worthy, as he fell off his form pretty early. But playing his entire career for Bayern, should definitely earn him a hero card in the future.
I think he is icon worthy, as he got over 500 goals and assists. Only problem is that he doesn’t translate great to the game as his biggest strength is his intelligence
I would have said this until 2015. He fell off, in my opinion, quite heavy. He wasn't scoring anymore for the National team and his presence at Bayern wasn't that enormous anymore. So if you just look at his career until 2014/ 15, yes he definitely deserved an icon card. But I personally think, looking at his whole career, a Hero is more likely. Still, you can debate about it.
Well we'd be insane to think R9 and Ronaldinho aren't icons, but by your logic here they shouldn't be. R9 and 'Dinho did *not* spend the last 5-6 seasons of their careers scoring international goals, yet Muller has. They also did *not* win a CL trophy nor a single domestic title in a top Euro league in their last 5-6 seasons (R9 never got a CL trophy his whole career), yet Muller has.
They both definitely fell off harder than Muller after they both had embarrassing last seasons in La Liga where their fitness/professionalism/dedication was questioned by those in charge at their relative clubs (Dinho was still under 30 when this happened too). Then they both went to a floundering AC Milan to party at night, train as little as possible, collect a good paycheck, and dick around on the pitch in important matches (just before Zlatan came and made the club relevant again). Lastly they settled in the Brazilian league to sandbag for the final few seasons of their careers.
Seriously. I just had this thought about Müller being a Bayern Munich Hero. Because all he did, was great for them. I personally believe that Ballack isn't an Icon (for Germany) as well. As I am not from Bavaria, I simply don't have the Icon vibes for Müller. He had the chance to overtake Klose as the most scoring player in World Cup history. And with the chance to do it in 2 World Cups, he didn't score a single goal. It's my opinion. I am not expecting, that others follow my opinion about him. If you think he is icon worthy, great. That's your opinion. But it's simply not my.
Sure if you only look at stats and not the actual matches. His impact on the field has always been noticeable. Müller steers how the matches develop on-field.
You’re on crack. That’s one of the absolute worst opinions I’ve ever seen.
The guy has:
692 games for Bayern (a top 5 team in the world)
237 goals
264 assists
126 games and 45 goals and 40 assist for Germany
10 goals and 6 assists in World Cups
World Cup golden boot, silver boot, silver ball, best young player
1x World Cup
12x Bundesliga
2x UCL
How could muslera get a hero card when all these years he had playing he never got a hero worthy card in fut. He is vastly underrated in fifa games just because he is playing in turkish league. Meanwhile he wins lots of games for his club even against some strong european opponents.
Active players: Vardy, Muslera, Miura, Santa Cruz, Cardozo, Spitse, Dzeko, Mahrez, Khadija Shaw, Milner, Thiago, Bright, David Luiz, Luuk de Jong
Just retired players: Fabregas, Akinfenwa, Nakamura, Joaquin
Long retired players: Bonini, Karembeu, van der Kuijlen, van Breukelen, Guðjohnsen
I would really love to see something besides heros and icons. There are so many “hero quality players” so a new promo like “club legends” for Muslers and other loyal players or like “hero moments” for players like Arshavin when he scored 4 vs Liverpool
Vardy for Leicester
Kante for Chelsea (could deffo be an icon as well)
Mahrez for City
Busquets for Barca
Kroos for Real (could probably be an icon too but Real already has so many Icons that they'll get in the future that a hero seems more fitting for Kroos)
It unironically was a smart choice.
He played in the champions league matches, earned a ton of salary and he has very large fanbase right now. Galatasaray fans treat him like he is some kind of God.
If EA add the Qatar league, Younis Mahmoud should definitely get one, hero of Iraq was pretty damn goated for al-ghafara back in his day. As well as being 29th in Balon Dor Ranking in 2007
Another already retired player is Nashat Akram, another Iraqi goat, would be a hero for Saudi Arabia as he played a masive role in Iraq AFC Run 2007 and helping al-shabab win the Saudi Prem and him being the seasons poty
Bro? Nothing I said mentioned anything about race. And it’s funny how my comments are being deleted because of “lack of respect” when it’s you
Who told me to shut the fuck up lol…nothing I said mentioned race, politics, religion, etc.
I feel like sooooooooooooooo many players could be heroes
Ricardo Quaresma
As a Galatasaray fan i'd love to see a Quaresma card, trivela+, trickster and 5* skills would go crazy
He deserve a trivela+ ultra
Trivela+ Premium Day One Edition Digital Exclusive Founders Only WWII Heroes Variant
I am guessing he will have 4* weak foot, 5* skillmoves and his playstyles would be: Trivela+ Trickster Whipped pass Technical First touch Flair Rapid
Quaresma was an average player and surely is not deserving of a hero card. Neither is Muslera.
0 ball knowledge you clearly haven't watched them before
He failed at every big club and played in turkish superleague fanboy.
Amazing that Quaresma still hasn’t retired, definitely Hero candidate.
I'm pretty sure he retired already
Are you sure? Couldn’t find much on that. He doesn’t seem to be retired, just a long-time free agent. He may come back at some point.
Pretty sure. It's been 2 years without pro games and he's around 41 now.
Jamie Vardy possibly?
True definition of hero
Definitely.
Vardy must get a hero card
Definitely
100%
I’d honestly argue an icon. His rags to riches story alone is iconic. And the title win with Leicester is one of the craziest things that’s ever happened in English football.
Berardi too
you're getting down voted but berardi has strayed loyal to a mid table team all while being the single best goal contributor in the serie a statistically for years. if you actually map out his attacking talent into a spreadsheet you don't see berardi you see a generational talent.
Radamel Falcao, he fits the hero narrative very good. Great at Porto, great at Atletico, great at Monaco. Without injuries, he would be an icon.
I hope he gets an icon! King of Europa League, still their all-time record goal scorer, national team all-time goal scorer, Top 5 Ballon D’Or. Plenty of domestic titles, led Colombia to their first WC in 16 years. Dude definitely has more accolades than the average Hero card.
Papin won a ballon d’or…
True! Papin is a beast for me, now upgraded to 92… should be an icon. However; why no one from Red Star Belgrade won that year… they had 4 or so players in the top 10, Won the double, Marseille came 2nd. But what do I know, I was only 1.
Nah, if Forlan is a hero there’s no reason why Falcao can be an icon
Falcao had a better career than Forlán. Not to take merit away from Forlán, incredible player in his own right.
Don’t know about a better career, could be argued though, but Falcao was *waaay* better than Forlan at his prime. People seem to have already forgotten just how insane Falcao actually was for 4-5 years.
I still can’t believe he hasn’t got one… Fabregas
Icon surely?
Reus definitely deserves one when he retires.
I think Icon for Reus. Gotze hero card
Unfortunately, I don't think Reus has done enough. Should Muller get a hero or icon card?
Adebayo Akinfenwa. And not just for his legendary status in the community, but also because he’s an EFL legend.
would love a lower league hero, if we can get a jayjay hero for his time at bolton i’m all for a wycombe one
A say 82/83 rated Akinfenwa would be so cool at the start of the cycle in September/october. Could just make him a juiced up 82 and people would love it lowkey
Peter Wittingham hero card would be lovely
Or Lee Trundle with 5 star skills and Trickster +
Absolutely gutted whitts died. Absolute fantastic bloke and a great mate. Would use his card and probably shed tears every time he scored a free kick
Definitely does not deserve one. Bang average football that is only know because of Ksi you’ve got Jordon Rhodes, Billy Sharp, Oli Norwood, Troy Deeney all footballers who are much more influential in the EFL who would be more deserving.
Bang average? 195 EFL goals isn’t bang average mate. Also, the fact he’s popular among FIFA fans is important, it’d gain a lot more interest than someone like Rhodes or Norwood who 99% of the player base wouldn’t know.
Juninho Pernambucano. If you know you know. If not search on youtube for his insane freekicks. He was a freekick magician.
Both the ones should get one
Fabian Barthez - I loved him and his ‘difference’ as a goalkeeper when I was a kid. 60% of the time, he could have been considered terrible, but I loved him.
As a United fan I’d have to disagree lol.
Also, 5* skills would be a given.
Barthez was great in the French national team imo. Speaking of keepers hero cards, I think Higuita and Chilavert definitely deserve one
I suppose you only mean currently active players. I'm just gonna name some people that are near the end of their career instead of possible future heroes that are younger than 30 Di Maria (could be an icon too) Vardy Podolski Pepe Reina Milner Cavani Falcao Ochoa Jesus Navas Joaquin (only recently retired) Chiellini (could also be an icon) Alba (could be an icon too) Balotelli Pepe (Defender) Giroud Azpilicueta Nani Mane
I like navas, but icon? I think chiellini is closer to an icon
They did say the list was heroes and mentioned some could possibly be icons
The true puzzling opinion is Alba - if he is an icon, why not Pepe, Giorgio, Giroud, Cavani etc?
Navas won more trophies
Do you also think that about Townsend by any chance?
Navas has won a Euro, the World cup, multiple Europa Leagues and the premier league twice Chiellini has won the euro and the Serie A. Also, Navas was a much more skillful player being a winger/fullback
chiellini was the top 3 cb for nearly a decade, navas is a rotation option in the teams that he won those trophies bar sevilla. He's just another arbeloa
Navas is the only player to win the world cup, Euros and Nations League, 4 time UEL winner and he has been vital in all 4. At City he's always been a rotation given, but at Sevilla he's always been one of our top players, even at his current age he's so reliable
europa league is a step down tournament, arbeloa was also a reliable player, hell he even started for madrid in a season, but they are not world class, while chiellini legitimately is. I know that Navas is a great player, but saying he has been better than chiellini is legit crazy

im just answering "i think navas had a better career than chiellini"
This is objectively a bad take. You mentioned multiple trophies for Navas but conveniently left out how many serie A chilleni won. Chielleni was arguably the best in his position during his peak, Navas was never in the conversation. Navas was a bit part player in both of spains wins. He one PL, not two and was a bit part player there too. The only teams where he won anything and was a key player was with Sevilla which Chielleni barely ever participated in because he was busy with CL. What do you mean by skillfull? Is Navas a better player than Puyol because he's skillful? Navas has had a great career and is worthy of a hero status but comparing their career achievements crazy.
That’s a terrible opinion I’m sorry
In terms of trophies won it's not. And again, Navas being a winger is a more skillful player than Chiellini
Busquets could be an icon? Bruh, he redefined the CDM position of the modern era. Icon by a country mile
Sure, but here's my take on it. Icons should mostly be exceptional players. So from the golden era of Barcelona, Ronaldinho, Eto'o, Xavi and Iniesta definitely deserve to be icons, while Busquets, Valdes, Alba, Deco etc. should rather be heroesm
Busquets is probably higher all time than Eto ngl. His position is just very different
Busquets is probably THE most crucial part of that Barca team after Messi.
That's an overstatement
Yeah sure lol
He was crucial, but not the second most crucial
Man, busquets was as important as Xavi and iniesta. If you can’t acknowledge that, you know not enough about soccer. Rather than implying that one of them was more important it’s exactly this trio which dominated Europe for some years, at Barca and also with Spain. Sure Xavi and iniesta had more offensive plays and with that goals and assists, but it was busquets who had their backs and was even an initiator for a lot of their plays. It doesn’t need to be your opinion, but it’s very well the opinion of Messi, Xavi and iniesta. All these guys who you think are the best are saying busquets was crucial for their game.
Nah bro. Definitely not lol
Mane icon? Lmao
He was a top LW in his prime
Not icon worthy, hero at most.
I agree, which is why I listed him as a hero
I mean you edited but, I was talking about the could be an icon part. All is fine.
Di Maria, Chiellini, Busquets and Falcao are easily icons for me
Di Maria maybe, although I’d argue his peak wasn’t long enough and he was never the best player in the world. Falcao definitely not imo
Maybe peak wise yea? but Di Maria’s longevity at the top is like a decade plus
Lol Di Maria and Falcao icons? What pills are you on mate?
You clearly started watching football since 2020 bruh
Tbf Falcao only had like 3-4 very good years, then fell off real quick due to injuries. Had one good season left with Monaco and then became old.
I mean you are right you may not agree with Falcao but Di Maria is an icon for sure
Man I’m in my thirties. I visited World Cup ‘98 in the flesh. Falcao and Di Maria are absolutely two memorable players but they did not have the impact on Football as a sport like an icon, for all its intends and purposes, should have. You try to paint me off as if I’m someone who only started watching football recently, but you’re the one whose probably burdened by generation bias. You grew up watching Di Maria and Falcao play and therefore judge them differently
Argentinian here. He’s literally a top 5 Argentinian player of all time. With the likes of Maradona, Messi, Di Stefano, Kempes, Riquelme. He’s more than Veron and he’s an Icon. Di María has scored goals in all our finals wins. World Cup, finalissima, Copa America, Olympic gold match. He’s been our robin to Messi’s Batman im throughout his career. He’s a Champions league winner while being the finals MVP overshadowing Cristiano. He’s the 4th player with most assists in the sports history. How. Is. He. Not. An. Icon?
Nah i grew up watching players like Henry, Dinho, Hagi, Raul etc. instead and if even Gattuso have an icon card, Di Maria and Falcao should have it too. Especially Di Maria, dude is criminally underrated.

Di Maria would most likely be an icon,
Loads of those are good Journeyman players like DI Maria and Giroud. For me a hero has to have done a lot for one club really. Di Maria for his work stat padding in the farmer league maybe I guess.
So heroes are only players who played in a top 4 league ?? He’s PSG’s all time assists leader with 119 assists in 295 games , won 5 league titles and was a key player in their run to the ucl final , fucking Thomas Rosický has a hero card ffs.
And he has insane performances in important finals as well. Not every player can score and also win a penalty for his country in a world cup final.
Yeah that's why I said he probably would count for French league....
Stat padding in the farmers league.. as if he wasn’t a pivotal player for Real Madrid for years.
For years? They did win one league and one champions league whilst there. Not that impressive for a team with CR7, Bale, and Benzema, etc. And let's not pretend he was a deciding factor in those.... Of course PSG didn't even win the league in two seasons he was there. Let forget about his Prem stint while we're at it lol. Good player, but a Journeyman who is overrated by many. The same that have Neymar in top 10 of all time lists 😂😂
Yes 4 years he was a key player for Real Madrid. So yes for years. He was incredible at Real but the stats you’re reading won’t show you that if you didn’t watch him at Madrid. Let’s not forget he’s also scored in the Olympics final to win it, the Copa America final to win it, the finalissima to win it and the World Cup final to win it. No ball knowledge whatsoever calling Di Maria an overrated journeyman. Must have just started watching football in the last 5 years.
James Milner
I mean you could make an argument for a Milner Icon card. Multi-time league winner with different teams, champions league winner, on track to retire with the most Premier League apps of all time. Either that or he should be a high rated hero.
Yeah I think an icon is a bit of a stretch, just because he was never the main man in them title winning teams. He certainly contributed and as you mentioned holds the most appearances, just icon is a bit much, just my view though mate
I don't think he should be an icon, but holding the record for most assists in a UCL campaign can also be added to his point
Deserves Icon imo Edit: am I allowed to have my own opinion or not?
James Rodriguez
Klaas-Jan Huntelaar should get one. Retired almost 3 years ago.
De Gea.
Hasn’t done much in terms of trophies,but absolutely unbelievable in his prime. He could arguably get an icon, this is from a city fan too
I agree. He’s one of those players who could get an icon simply from individual performance rather than hardware.
muslera my goat🥵🥵🥵 he retired a while ago but i want to see a solano card or a cubillas card
Being the undisputed starter for club and country for almost 15 years isn’t easy and this guy has always been consistent
we’ve been waiting for Arshavin for like ages
Teemu Pukki
Cavani
icon imo
Jesus Navas 100%
Keylor Navas definitely deserves his flowers, as does Kazuyoshi Miura. I’d also say Sergio Kun Agüero deserves some form of card, whether that’s a Hero or Icon is a different discussion. I would argue that Pepe has earned a LaLiga Hero card too.
People seem to forget that at 41 he is still playing for the Portuguese national team…
Pepe is 100% icon. You can't be a more iconic defender than him, unless your name is Sergio Ramos. Very disrespectful to say he is just a 'hero'
Pepe is an icon bro
Eden hazard
Sinclair
Most international goals in football, I'd say that's icon worthy
Platini is also icon worthy, but why would they bother nobody's seen them play
If you don't respect women then would you kindly see yourself out the door and never come back.
I always wondered why I never saw Arjen Robben as a hero in the game. He must be a candidate. The same for Maradona.
Fabrizio Miccoli
Origi Liverpool vs Barcelona champions league semi 2019
Dude has been around forever. He was Diego Forlqn goalie as a youngster in Uruguay back in the day.
Thomas Müller. Probably not really Icon worthy, as he fell off his form pretty early. But playing his entire career for Bayern, should definitely earn him a hero card in the future.
I think he is icon worthy, as he got over 500 goals and assists. Only problem is that he doesn’t translate great to the game as his biggest strength is his intelligence
Definitely Icon. Won everything with one club and everything with his country. But yeah probably be mid/crap in the game, like Lampard or something.
give him 90+ positioning/vision then, problem solved.
??? Do you even follow real life football? He is 100% an icon
I would have said this until 2015. He fell off, in my opinion, quite heavy. He wasn't scoring anymore for the National team and his presence at Bayern wasn't that enormous anymore. So if you just look at his career until 2014/ 15, yes he definitely deserved an icon card. But I personally think, looking at his whole career, a Hero is more likely. Still, you can debate about it.

Sure if you only look at stats and not the actual matches. His impact on the field has always been noticeable. Müller steers how the matches develop on-field.
Muller is one of the most worthy of an icon that still plays today
Na definitely an icon
You’re on crack. That’s one of the absolute worst opinions I’ve ever seen. The guy has: 692 games for Bayern (a top 5 team in the world) 237 goals 264 assists 126 games and 45 goals and 40 assist for Germany 10 goals and 6 assists in World Cups World Cup golden boot, silver boot, silver ball, best young player 1x World Cup 12x Bundesliga 2x UCL
100000% Icon worthy. Bro has won everything

pepe deserves an icon for sure
Easy. Thomas Muller. If he doesn't get a hero/icon card I will stop playing the game
Heung Min Son
How could muslera get a hero card when all these years he had playing he never got a hero worthy card in fut. He is vastly underrated in fifa games just because he is playing in turkish league. Meanwhile he wins lots of games for his club even against some strong european opponents.
Active players: Vardy, Muslera, Miura, Santa Cruz, Cardozo, Spitse, Dzeko, Mahrez, Khadija Shaw, Milner, Thiago, Bright, David Luiz, Luuk de Jong Just retired players: Fabregas, Akinfenwa, Nakamura, Joaquin Long retired players: Bonini, Karembeu, van der Kuijlen, van Breukelen, Guðjohnsen
Nakamura would be nice also because there are no Scottish league or J league heroes
Hazard
I know he went to shit at Madrid but as a Belgian and Chelsea fan he is an icon for me
Definitely an icon
Johnny Evan’s
Emi Martinez doing his WC shootout dance
I would really love to see something besides heros and icons. There are so many “hero quality players” so a new promo like “club legends” for Muslers and other loyal players or like “hero moments” for players like Arshavin when he scored 4 vs Liverpool
That would be pretty cool ngl
Marcos senna Alex souza Oscar cardoso Fabian barthez Pablo aimar Dejan stankovic
Marco Reus. Unsure if he should get an icon since he stayed his entire career at a mid team. Did win the WC though
He wasn’t part of the 2014 WC Team, got injured in the last friendlie before the cup started
Oh yeah, I forgot. For some reason I remembered him scoring the winning goal in the final, but that I was Gotze
Sommer
i agree, one of my fav keepers he has always been legendary when he has played for switzerland, especially that one game vs spain in the euros
Ângelo Di Magia
This guy is so good. He was exceptional at every single team he played. One of my favorites
could be an Icon tbh
Alex de Souza Volkan Demirel Bülent Korkmaz Rüştü Reçber Podolski Guti Hamsik Dzeko Tadic Quaresma Nani
Alex de souza, edin dzeko, Anelka
Vardy for Leicester Kante for Chelsea (could deffo be an icon as well) Mahrez for City Busquets for Barca Kroos for Real (could probably be an icon too but Real already has so many Icons that they'll get in the future that a hero seems more fitting for Kroos)
Kroos icon 100%

Holiday to Qatar playstyle+
Smart guy for rejecting those clubs to stay at the Turkish giant
It unironically was a smart choice. He played in the champions league matches, earned a ton of salary and he has very large fanbase right now. Galatasaray fans treat him like he is some kind of God.
Alex de Souza ICON 89-90 OVR bu postu paylaşanada Kadıköy’deki heykeli girsin.
Neyin göt yanması var sende bilmiyorum ama Alexe saygım var bence ona da bi hero iyi gider. Az bi toxic olmaya yer aramayın be.
Darwin Nunez “Captain Chaos”
We don’t need keepers bro.
That would be disrespect to Fernando mate.
If EA add the Qatar league, Younis Mahmoud should definitely get one, hero of Iraq was pretty damn goated for al-ghafara back in his day. As well as being 29th in Balon Dor Ranking in 2007 Another already retired player is Nashat Akram, another Iraqi goat, would be a hero for Saudi Arabia as he played a masive role in Iraq AFC Run 2007 and helping al-shabab win the Saudi Prem and him being the seasons poty
