Garrincha might arrive as a part of the EA FC 25 Future Stars Icon Team 2 roster
As mentioned earlier, Garrincha played a key role as a winger in Brazil's back-to-back World Cup-winning campaigns during 1958 and 1962. Moreover, he became the first player to win the Golden Ball and Golden Boot titles in the same campaign (1962). Considering his success throughout his tenure, it's safe to expect his rumored Future Stars Icon card to mirror his real-life flair.
As of now, the Brazilian winger only possesses a 92-rated (Overall) base Icon card with elite-tier attributes. However, according to the leaked information by @DonkTrading, the rumored Future Stars Icon item would feature an upgraded version of Garrincha's base card, making him even more overpowered in the game's current meta.
