EA Sports FC 26 Leak Details: Eight New Heroes
A recent leak from FUT Latest on Twitter reveals eight new heroes potentially arriving in EA Sports FC 26’s Ultimate Team mode. The list includes fan favorites primarily from the Premier League and Serie A, with players known for their strong careers in these leagues.
The rumored heroes are:
- Gilberto Silva (Premier League)
- Jan Koller (Bundesliga)
- Cesc Fàbregas (Premier League)
- Esteban Cambiasso (Serie A)
- Andrea Barzagli (Serie A)
- Mario Mandžukić (Serie A)
- Marouane Fellaini (Premier League)
- Michael Carrick (Premier League)
These players bring a mix of midfield, defense, and attacking options.
Some players had significant careers in other leagues too, so their association could shift. For example, Mario Mandžukić played for Bayern Munich in the Bundesliga and Atletico Madrid in La Liga before Juventus, so his hero card might represent another league.
What This Means for Fans and Players
Fans of EA Sports FC will appreciate the return of popular and effective players like Cesc Fàbregas, who has long been a staple in FIFA Ultimate Team, and Mario Mandžukić, a feared striker known for his aerial ability. The inclusion of players like Barzagli and Gilberto Silva adds defensive stability and midfield grit.
Interestingly, this batch does not include any women heroes, despite EA Sports adding female Icons in recent years. The focus seems to be on high-profile men’s league legends this time.
EA Sports FC 26 is expected to officially debut in July 2025, with the full game likely releasing on September 26. It will be the first title in the series to launch on the Nintendo Switch 2, marking a new era for the franchise formerly known as FIFA.
