Christine Sinclair’s Historic Inclusion
Sinclair’s arrival stands out as a genuine milestone, becoming the first Canadian footballer ever inducted as an ICON in the franchise, and cementing her legacy as one of the greatest women’s players of all time.
Varane’s Leaked Card Sparks Debate
According to leaker FUT Sheriff, Raphaël Varane’s ICON card carries a leaked 90 overall rating, with strong defense (90) and physical (84) stats that would place him above legendary defenders like Fabio Cannavaro, Rio Ferdinand, Carles Puyol and Giorgio Chiellini. It’s worth noting these numbers remain unconfirmed by EA Sports, but if accurate, Varane would instantly become one of the most sought-after defensive ICONs in Ultimate Team.
What’s Next
With Class of ’27 ICONs also confirmed for EA Sports FC Mobile, players can unlock select male ICONs through special PvE challenges ahead of the full launch. Full official details are available on the EA Sports FC website.
