  • EA Sports FC 27 Icons Ratings Revealed: Gullit, Zidane and More

    ## FC 27 Icon Ratings Unveiled

    The full Icon ratings for EA Sports FC 27 have been officially revealed, detailing the base cards and their Champion upgrades for twelve legends. The announcement confirms a new tier system where early pre-order bonuses evolve into higher-rated versions later in the year. EA Sports FC 27 releases on 25 September 2026, with early access starting 18 September, meaning these ratings will directly impact squad building for the new cycle.

    Midfield legends feature prominently in this batch. Ruud Gullit and Zinedine Zidane both start as 86 CAM players, upgrading to 91 CAM in their Champion forms. Karl-Heinz Rummenigge is an 86 ST, reaching 90 ST. Yaya Touré begins at 86 CM and rises to 89 CM, while Jonathan Zambrotta is an 85 RB upgrading to 89 RB. Jonatan Riise rounds out the midfielders as an 85 CM, reaching 90 CM.

    Defensive solidity is provided by Lúcio (85 CB to 90 CB), Raphaël Varagne (86 CB to 90 CB), and Pepe (85 CB to 89 CB). Up front, Sergio Agüero is an 86 ST upgrading to 90 ST. Christine Sinclair is a high-rated 86 ST, reaching 91 ST. Tobin Heath represents the women’s game as an 86 RW, upgrading to 90 RW. The inclusion of FC Mobile branding in the leak suggests these ratings will be synchronized across both console and mobile platforms.

    Pre-ordering the game by 31 August secures a Debut Icon at launch, which transforms into a Champion version in November. This rollout strategy mirrors previous Ultimate Team cycles but applies to the Icon roster, offering a guaranteed path to a top-tier player for early supporters.

    The stat increases between base and Champion cards are substantial, typically adding four to five points in key areas like pace, shooting, and physicality. With Zidane and Sinclair both hitting 91, these cards will likely dominate the Ultimate Team meta once released.

  • Ruud Gullit Rapid+ Icon Leaked for EA Sports FC 27

    A recent leak from the FIFA22_INFO Twitter account points to a Rapid+ special card for Dutch legend Ruud Gullit in EA Sports FC 27. The leaked graphic displays two versions of the Icon, highlighting a significant stat progression tied to the Rapid mechanic.

    The base card features an 86 overall rating in the CAM position. Key attributes include 80 pace, 82 shooting, 82 passing, 81 dribbling, 80 defence, and 86 physicality. The player is depicted in a red training jacket with the Dutch flag at the bottom.

    The second version, presumably the peak Rapid+ form, boosts the overall rating to 91. This upgrade is accompanied by substantial increases across the board: pace rises to 85, shooting to 89, passing to 90, dribbling to 86, defence to 81, and physicality jumps to 92. The artwork for this higher-rated card shows Gullit in an orange patterned jersey with arms raised in celebration.

    Rapid specials typically reward players for achieving high pace or physicality thresholds in Ultimate Team. Gullit’s inclusion in this promo would be notable given his historical pace stats in previous FC titles, which often kept him below the elite threshold for such cards. If confirmed, this would be a major upgrade for fans looking to build a high-powered midfield around the former AC Milan and Netherlands captain.

    The leak originates from a well-known leaker account, though EA Sports has not officially announced the FC 27 Icon schedule or specific Rapid+ cards. The game releases on 25 September 2026, with early access starting on 18 September.

  • FC 27 Starter Squad Leak: Marmoush and Rogers Lead Lineup

    ## FC 27 Starter Squad Leak

    A leaked FC 27 starter squad has surfaced online, reportedly shared by a FUT Police source. The formation, displayed on a FUTBIN-style interface, shows a 4-2-3-1 setup with several notable players and a distinct tactical profile.

    **Marmoush** leads the line as the central striker with an 82 rating, positioned across LW, LM, and CAM. Behind him, **Rogers** anchors the attacking midfield at 84, while **Matheus Nunes** and **O’Reilly** operate as the central midfielders at 83 each. The wide areas are covered by **Victor Muñoz** on the left (79) and **Estêvão** on the right (80).

    The defensive line is where the leak stands out. Both fullbacks are notably long: **Methalie** (75 LB) and **Palestra** (78 RB) are highlighted in the original post as ‘lengthy fullbacks’. The centre-back pairing consists of **Diomande** (81) and **Araujo** (80), with **Mamardashvili** (83) in goal.

    This leak aligns with early FC 27 cycle discussions about squad building and meta formations. The presence of players like Rogers and Marmoush suggests a focus on pace and physicality in the wide areas, a trend often seen in EA Sports FC titles. Fans can expect more detailed Pitch Notes and official roster updates as the September 18 early access date approaches.

    *Note: This information is unconfirmed and based on a leaked social media post.*
