EA is set to introduce a new set of Icons and Heroes for FC Mobile 26 including Kroos and Zlatan according to leaks
The highly-anticipated arrival of EA Sports FC 26 or the fresh start of FC Mobile is nearly upon us, and there’s already buzz about the upcoming roster of Legends and Superstars, who might grace the game for the first time. With EA confirming that Zlatan Ibrahimović will be back as the game’s latest Icon, we can’t wait to find out which other legendary player makes the cut.
In simple terms, Icons represent legendary footballers who have hung up their boots, while Heroes are former street-wise players from last season who didn’t quite make it to the level of Icons.
On Thursday at the game reset, it’s rumored that Zlatan will join FC Mobile, potentially starting a new Icon Chronicles chapter, as reported by @Sappurit! #FCMobile #fcmobile26 #FC26 #EASportsFC26
