First set of new Ultimate Team Icons revealed for FIFA 20
Sam O'Hara 
Ultimate Team on FIFA is continuing to grow, and this year includes the usual crop of new Icon cards, players that are legends of the game from previous years. The first set of new Icons for this year’s upcoming FIFA 20, which includes French midfielder and now manager of Real Madrid FC Zinedine Zidane, ex-Chelsea powerhouse striker Didier Drogba, and Italian playmaker maestro Andrea Pirlo.
The Icons, previously exclusive to the Xbox Brand, then the Playstation but now available across all formats, allow players to use players from yesteryear in their teams in Ultimate Teams. Generally rated at 85 and higher, they have a much lower probability of being received from opening packs, on top of the low probability of receiving higher level cards.
The reveal of this set concluded with Arsenal’s English marvel Ian Wright, Dutch legend and now national team coach Ronald Koeman, and Brazilian World Cup-winning midfielder Carlos Alberto. Their ratings, however, is still under wraps. There is more to be revealed before the game’s launch, and many of the game’s previous icons are confirmed to return. The full list can be seen below.
