Currently, Zola's base Icon card features only an 87 rating but possesses a few extraordinary attributes across the board. If the rumor from Fut_Scoreboard stands true, he'll receive a 93-rated CAM card with enhanced stats, helping him be more aligned with the current EA FC 25 meta.

While the exact attributes are still unknown as EA Sports has yet to unveil any sort of information related to their upcoming promo, Fut_Scoreboard has predicted that Gianfranco Zola will receive Finesse Shot+, Quick Step+, and Dead Ball+ traits. All three PlayStyles+ can complement Zola's rumored attributes on the pitch. Here are his attributes across the board, per the leak:

Pace: 93
Shooting: 94
Passing: 93
Dribbling: 95
Defending: 47
Physicality: 70

While all the necessary attributes, such as shooting, passing, dribbling, and pace, are up to the mark, the Italian surely lacks the defending and physicality aspects. Regardless, gamers can easily use the item in Premier League-centric teams and utilize its three-star chemistry trait being an Icon.
