EA FC 25 leaks hint at Bale, Buffon, and Hazard arriving as Icons and Heroes in Ultimate Team

With the EA FC 24 game cycle approaching its conclusion, there have been several leaks on social media suggesting that EA FC 25 could potentially feature the likes of Gareth Bale, Eden Hazard, and Gianluigi Buffon as Icons and Heroes. While these players are still rumored to be in a testing phase and not guaranteed to be part of the upcoming title, the speculation has caused a lot of hype among fans.

Icons and Heroes are important parts of Ultimate Team, as they are some of the most overpowered cards in the game. These retired legends of the sport have the stats, attributes, PlayStyles and chemistry perks that make them extremely desirable. EA FC 25 could potentially be the first year where we see such versions for Bale, Buffon and Hazard.

Note: This article is speculative and is based entirely on leaks provided by X/FUT Scoreboard and X/FGZNews. These accounts have provided accurate and reliable leaks in the past.

Bale, Buffon and Hazard could receive Icon/Hero versions in EA FC 25 Ultimate Team

Gianluigi Buffon is widely regarded as one of the best goalkeepers to ever grace the sport of football. He won it all with the Italian national side and with Juventus at club level, and has had some amazing Ultimate Team versions over the years. If leaks by X/FUT Scoreboard are to be believed, the legendary shotstopper could arrive as an Icon in EA FC 25.

Similarly, Gareth Bale's legacy in the sport is also unrivalled. The Welsh attacker made a name for himself in the Premier League with Spurs, before moving to Real Madrid and winning a plethora of titles. He has scored three goals in Champions League finals, and a leak by X/FGZNews suggests he is being tested as an Icon for EA FC 25 as well.

Eden Hazard is the first leaked player who is being tested as a new Hero for the next game. The former Chelsea legend is regarded as one of the most technically skilled attackers in Premier League history, but his underwhelming stint at Real Madrid could lead to him missing out on Icon status and only being a Hero in the upcoming game.

The leakers have also specified how these players are still in the testing phase. With Icons and Heroes still not being fully defined for the upcoming title, it is entirely possible that these players are not part of the final release of EA FC 25.
