EA Sports are set to launch FIFA 20 in September and they have slowly started revealing a lot of details. This week, they have unveiled all the faces of the 3 FIFA covers: Eden Hazard for the Normal edition, Virgil van Dijk for the Champions edition and Zinedine Zidane for the Ultimate edition.
Adding to this, they have also confirmed the names of 5 legends who will be available as new ICON players in the game. These players will join the likes of Pele, Diego Maradona, Gary Lineker, Ronaldo Nazario etc in the Ultimate Team as legends.
While these players will be available in the game, they are playable only in FIFA Ultimate Team. They will not be available in offline mode, kick-off, career mode or VOLTA Football.
Without further ado, here are the 5 new legends who have been added to the game:
#5 Zinedine Zidane
The cover star of the Ultimate Edition has been added to the game finally. The Frenchman was someone the fans have been demanding for a long time but was just not getting added by EA Sports.
They have finally granted the wishes of the players and have signed him up as a legend in the game. While his ratings and positions have not been revealed, it is a given that he would be one of the most sought-after players in the game.
There is no question that he was one of the best ever in the history of football and at a time when FIFA players use the 4-2-3-1 formation with 3 CAM's, he would fit in straightaway.
Moreover, he will be having an ICON so the chemistry won't be an issue. And even if EA Sports introduce green link only for same nations rule in FIFA 20 Ultimate team, he is a Frenchman and it wouldn't be a problem to link him at all.
#4 Ian Wright
Arsenal legend, Ian Wright has been added to FIFA 20 as well and he will be a playable card in Ultimate Team. The Englishman retired in 2000 but it has taken long for EA Sports to get him on board.
Unlike Zidane, fans would be waiting to see how good he is in the game before investing in him. His stats are likely to be 90+ for shooting but other things like pace and dribbling are unknown.
#3 Ronald Koeman
Ronald Koeman is one legend whose position might change completely in all three of his ICON cards. There is a very good chance of him having a midfielder card and 2 defender cards.
Players are likely to invest in his defender card as he could be the best one available for cheap. He was a very good free-kick taker and thus that would be an added bonus for the team.
#2 Didier Drogba
Unlike others on this list, Didier Drogba announced his retirement last year. It has not taken EA Sports long to get him on board and there is no doubt that players would be willing to spend big to get his card.
Just like Zlatan Ibrahimovic's Flashback card in FIFA 19, Drogba's ICON card is very likely to be overpowered and could be the best card in the game.
#1 Andrea Pirlo
Andrea Pirlo retired from football in 2017 and just like Drogba, it hasn't taken long for EA Sports to get him back into the game. Pirlo was not available in the FIFA 19 and that will be the only edition not to have the Italian legend since 2000.
The demand for Pirlo's card will be completely based on his physical and defending stats as fans know he is going to have his shooting and pace stats in the 80s, if not less.
