FIFA 20: Predicting the ratings of the new ICON players

EA Sports FIFA 20 is just a few weeks away from the launch. They have been unveiling the new features, legends and modes of the game this month and the hype is real.

So far, it looks like EA Sports have done a tremendous job and are likely to finally exceed expectations this year. While nothing can be said about the modes and the new features just yet, the legends they are adding to FIFA 20 Ultimate Team are just brilliant.

5 legends have been confirmed so far for FIFA 20 and here is a look at their possible ratings:

#5 Didier Drogba (87, 93, 90)

Didier Drogba might have been a late bloomer but when he reached his peak, it was something every striker in the world would have wanted to achieve. The Ivory Coast star's first ICON card, known as the baby icon card, will be of his time at Marseille and is likely to be rated at 87.

While he was just getting to his peak, he scored 19 goals in 35 appearances in the 2003/04 season for the French side. He was a dominant force for them and was so good that Jose Mourinho asked Roman Abramovich to sign him instead of Ronaldinho.

Once he joined Chelsea, he took his game to another level. He was unstoppable against the big sides and was the key behind the Blues winning back-to-back league titles. He was on such a roll that there was no defender in the world who didn't fear him.

His main ICON card should be based on performances from 2006-2012. The card is likely to be rated at 93 at least with his shooting at 95, pace at 89, dribbling around 87 and physical around 89. His heading will be nothing less than 90 as well.

His third and final card should be at 89 or 90 and will be based on his career after leaving Chelsea for the first time, in 2012.

#4 Zinedine Zidane (88, 96, 92)

It is very likely that Zidane will have the best ratings among the new ICON cards

Zidane is on the cover of FIFA 20 Ultimate Edition and there is no doubt that his stats will be insane. It is very likely that he will have the best ratings among the new ICON cards that are being introduced in FIFA 20.

His three cards are likely to be rated at 88, 96 and 92 as he was just that good. The 96 rated card should be based on his performances from 1998-2000 where he won the World Cup, UEFA Euro Championship and the Ballon d'Or.

#3 Ronald Koeman (87, 92, 90)

Ronald Koeman will be a card in demand on FIFA

Ronald Koeman will be a card in demand on FIFA because he is very likely to have insane shooting stats despite being a defensive midfielder and a centre-back. He will have the freekick trait as well and his cards are likely to be 87, 92 and 90 in FIFA 20.

#2 Andrea Pirlo (86, 92, 89)

Pirlo is a legend that every fan wanted at their club

Andrea Pirlo is going to be the ICON that everyone loves in real life but not so much in FIFA. While he is a legend that every fan wanted at their club, he is not going to have 'crazy stats' in FIFA and thus he won't make a lot of teams.

His likely ratings are going to be 86, 92 and 89 but even for his best card, none of the stats apart from passing are going to be over 90.

#1 Ian Wright (86, 94, 91)

Ian Wright is still one of the best ever in the Premier League history

Ian Wright might have started his professional career late but he is still one of the best ever in the Premier League history. Arsenal are going to be wearing the modern version of bruised banana this year and what a sight it would be for any Gooner to see their legendary striker in that jersey!

The Englishman is likely to be rated at 86, 94 and 91 in FIFA 20 and his shooting and pace are likely to be over 90 or just around it in all cards.
