EA FC 26 could add yet more Heroes(Image: Electronic Arts)EA FC 25 might be the current football sim we’re playing, but as always, we’ve got one eye on this year’s game.

EA FC 26 likely won’t be revealed until the Summer (and could even come to Switch 2), but one leaker has apparently unearthed some of the new Heroes coming to the game for you to spend your hard-earned EA FC Points on.

If this is your first season, EA FC’s Ultimate Team mode is arguably the game’s most popular, in part because it allows building the team of your dreams via Icons and Heroes — classic players of yesteryear. Each year sees fresh Heroes and Icons added, but it’s not often they leak this soon.

Here’s all we know about the latest crop of stars so far.

Leaker reveals new EA FC 26 HeroesContent cannot be displayed without consentOver on X (formerly Twitter), longtime EA FC leaker FUT Sherriff has been busy. They’re revealed eight new stars apparently being added as Heroes, and four of them are Premier League stars.

Ex-Arsenal midfielders Cesc Fabregas and Gilberto Silva are in, as well as former Manchester United duo Marouane Fellaini and Michael Carrick.

Also reportedly joining the game are Serie A heroes Andrea Barzagli, Esteban Cambiasso, and Mario Mandzukic, while Jan Koller represents the Bundesliga.

FUT Sherriff usually states when stats are predicted, but hasn’t mentioned it here. If these are true, then Gilberto Silva’s 89 overall makes him a great card for your midfield, but we’ll find out nearer to the game’s reveal.

In case you’re wondering, EA FC Heroes get chemistry bonuses if they play alongside players from their respective league.

For example, Gilberto Silva will be a great player regardless, but stick him in a Premier League side and he’ll have an even better understanding with his teammates.

Icons, on the other hand, don’t have leagues attached to them. FUT Sherriff hasn’t revealed any of those as yet, though.

Which of these Heroes are you most excited about? Any you’ll be working towards? Let us know!
