EA FC 26: New Amazing ICONs in FUT & Career Mode

Hold onto your controllers, EA FC 26 fanatics, because we’ve got some absolutely incredible news that’s going to blow your minds!

EA SPORTS just dropped four legendary ICONs into EA SPORTS FC ONLINE on April 25, 2025, and honestly, they are a very strong addition.

We’re expecting two great ICONs to be added to EA FC 26, so focus and read this article carefully for all the details!

EA SPORTS FC Online ICONs

The latest EA SPORTS FC Online update brought us not one, not two, but FOUR great legends:

• Franz Beckenbauer
• Diego Maradona
• Dunga
• Oliver Bierhoff

Now, Franz Beckenbauer and Diego Maradona have already made their grand entrance into EA FC 25 through recent updates, and let’s be honest – seeing these two players back in the game has been absolutely magical!

ReFIFA’s Bold Prediction

Here’s where things get really exciting, we’ve put together a solid prediction based on clear foundations – we’re almost 99% certain that ALL these ICONs are heading straight to EA FC 26 when it launches.

But wait, there’s more! We specifically expect Dunga and Oliver Bierhoff to be part of the launch lineup alongside other historical ICONs.

We see that there will be a lot of interest in adding many ICONs to the EA FC 26, and we all followed the post that the EA SPORTS published on social media and asked followers about their favorite icon that they would like to add.

Why Are We So Confident?

Let us take you back to last year, because this story has all the makings of a perfect sequel.

Remember when Gareth Bale got added to EA SPORTS FC ONLINE in an update? We were all buzzing, thinking he’d immediately jump into EA FC 24 as usal. But plot twist – he didn’t!

Instead, EA SPORTS played the long game. Some ICONs from EA SPORTS FC ONLINE made it into EA FC 24, but Bale? He wasn’t added and suddenly it was added with the release of EA FC 25.

This is EXACTLY the pattern we’re seeing with Dunga and Bierhoff.

They’re getting the EA SPORTS FC ONLINE treatment first, building anticipation, and then they’ll make their grand Ultimate Team and Career return with EA FC 26.

Meet Your New ICONs

Let’s get properly acquainted with these two incredible additions who are about to revolutionize your FUT squads:

#01 Dunga – The Selecao’s Iron Fist

While Brazil has always been the land of samba magic, Dunga brought something equally powerful – that steely spirit and fierce fighting determination that true leaders are made of.

The 1994 World Cup Captain Leading Brazil to World Cup glory in 1994 with the captain’s armband wasn’t just an achievement – it was a masterclass in leadership.

In EA FC 26 Ultimate Team and Career Mode, he’d be the ultimate defensive midfielder, the kind of player who wins matches through grit and game management.

Dunga represents that rare breed of defensive midfielder who combines leadership, tactical awareness, and ball-winning ability.

#02 Oliver Bierhoff – The Ultimate Clutch Player

Oliver Bierhoff wasn’t just a goal scorer – he was a moment creator, a match-winner, the kind of striker who could smell opportunity from a mile away.

The Perfect Poacher Standing tall with incredible positioning and goal-scoring instincts that bordered on supernatural, Bierhoff was every defender’s nightmare.

In EA FC 26 Ultimate Team and Career Mode, Bierhoff would be the ultimate clinical striker – the kind of player who converts every half-chance into goals and turns draws into victories.

Bierhoff would be strong in the air, clinical in the box, and capable of those crucial goals that win championships.

Final Whistle

With EA FC 26 expected to drop in September, we won’t have to wait much longer to see if our predictions come true.

But honestly? We’re so confident about this that we’re already planning our Ultimate Team squads and Career Mode journey around these legends!

What do you think? Are you as excited as we are about the possibility of playing with Dunga and Bierhoff in EA FC 26?
