Gareth Bale is rumored to be a part of the EA FC 25 TOTY Icon promo

Gareth Bale has been a prominent figure in the footballing world. The 35-year-old Welsh winger started his career in Southampton and spent most of his prime in top European clubs like Tottenham and Real Madrid. On top of that, he has contributed tons to his national football team. The Welsh superstar hunged up his boots in 2023.

Bale first appeared in FIFA 10 as a 76-rated LB card. Gradually his ratings improved or even declined over the FIFA (later EA FC) games in correspondence to his real-world performances. His last appearance was in FIFA 23 as 81-rated Rare Gold until he returned as an 88-rated Icon in EA FC 25 with a Rapid+ PlayStyle.

Now that the TOTY event is nearby, AsyFutTrader confirmed that TOTY Icons are returning. The leaker's post featured the Welsh legend on this upcoming special promo item. If the leaker's TOTY Icon concept turns out to be true, he's expected to be a 90-rated RW featuring flashy stats including 97 Pace, 91 Shooting, and 91 Dribbling. Undoubtedly, this special Bale card might possess upgraded attributes compared to his base icon card.

What could the EA FC 25 TOTY Icon version of Gareth Bale look like?

Although EA has yet to provide a clear vision regarding the TOTW events and its set of player cards, Gareth Bale's TOTW Icon card based on AsyFutTrader's tweet likely to be a 90-rated Right Winger with the following attributes:

• Pace: 97
• Shooting: 91
• Passing: 86
• Dribbling: 91
• Defending: 67
• Physicality: 81

On top of that, he's expected to feature two PlayStyles+ traits: Rapid+ and Power Shot+. Currently, his base icon card possesses 4-star skills and a 3-star weak foot. However, we can expect that EA might provide a significant boost to his weak foot trait.
