EA will remove some of our beloved icons in EA FC 24. We tell you which icons we will no longer see in their FIFA 24 replacements and what changes you can expect for FUT icons.
In their latest FUT deep dive, EA released some important news. Beyond unveiling the ratings of several football superstars, they announced a huge change in how FUT icons will work in EA FC 24.
We’ll show you why deleting some of our beloved icons may not be as bad as it seems (at least that’s what we hope) and how Icons will boost your team chemistry in Ultimate Team.
EA FC 24: EA will remove icon versions in FIFA 24
EA obviously had to come up with some changes for their next game. A pressing issue was the chemistry system surrounding the icons. In FIFA 23, Icons paled in comparison to FUT Heroes when it came to chemistry, largely because they only amplified their home country and had no league affiliation .
In EA FC 24, Icons will contribute to each league represented in your team. And if you add two icons, you’ll get two chemical contributions, guaranteeing at least one chemical point for each league. It’s a huge W.
However, we also part ways with some of our dear footballing legends…

EA FC 24: More Base, Mid and Prime icons – Standard and promo versions are coming
Yip, you saw it right. In the future we will have to do without the Base, Mid and Prime icons in Ultimate Team.
Instead, there will be a single standard version for each icon, with opportunities for upgrades and new iterations through special promotions, events and campaigns during the FUT season. This new approach has raised some eyebrows. The concern is that the icons could become even more elusive than they already are.
More MID & PRIME icons… Only one version of each and a few added to promos…
I don’t know if I like it!

Consider, for example, the grind required for the Cover Star Ronaldinho SBC. It’s intimidating, to say the least. On the bright side, packing one of these upgraded icons could be a game-changer. Icons are set to start the season with more impressive stats and will only get better over time.
To put it into perspective: there will be no 91-rated Zinedine Zidane in the game at all. Instead, Zizou will kick off the season as a formidable 94-rated standard version, receiving even higher-rated versions throughout. throughout the season.
We wish all players the best of luck – getting an icon, especially early in the season, could secure you plenty of wins.
