Without further ado, here are the 9 legends who are likely to be added to the game:
#9 – Kaka
Kaka is easily one of the most loved footballers of all time. The Brazilian midfielder retired from the game in 2017 and was a fan favourite to be added to FIFA 20. It looks like EA Sports have listened to the fans and are set to add him.
While his rating is not yet confirmed, it is very likely that he would be one of the best CAM's in the game. He last played for Orlando City in MLS.
#8 – Garrincha
Garrincha is known as one of the greatest dribblers of all time. The right-winger, who is a legend of the game in Brazil, played a crucial role in the country's 2 World Cup wins – 1958 and 1962. He was the first player ever to win the Golden Ball, Golden Boot and the World Cup in the same tournament.
#7 – Xavi
Xavi, who announced his retirement from football earlier this year, is also set to be added to the game. He might just be one of the best CM's in the game when FIFA 20 releases.
#6 – Tim Cahill
Tim Cahill, the Australian legend, is also making his way back into the game in FIFA 20. The forward has played in a lot of competitions and was last seen in the Indian Super League with Jamshedpur FC.
#5 – Cafu
One of the best defenders of all time, Cafu will be in the game for the first time as an ICON player. The right-back was known for his pace and attacking runs and so will be a player in demand for sure in FUT.
The fans have been begging for an icon player to be added who is a right-back and EA Sports have listened to them.
#4 – John Barnes
Liverpool legend, John Barnes was a fast, skillful left winger and will be the latest addition to EA Sports FIFA. The former English footballer last played in 1999 and it is a surprise that it took so long for him to be added to the game.
#3 – Ian Rush
Ian Rush was regarded as the 3rd best player in Liverpool's history in a fan poll – 100 Players Who Shook The Kop. The legendary striker is all set to be added to the game and will now leave the players spoiled for choice up front.
#2 – Hugo Sanchez
Another forward, who is reportedly set to be added to FIFA 20, is Hugo Sanchez. He was an amazing player at Atletico Madrid but it was his transfer to Real Madrid that helped him take his game to another level.
The Mexican scored 164 goals in 207 games for Los Blancos and that will be the basis for his main ICON card.
#1 – Kenny Dalglish
If the number of forwards available in the game wasn't enough, EA Sports are set to add the legendary Kenny Dalglish as well. The former Scottish international is regarded as the greatest Liverpool player of all time and will have insane stats in the game.
