EA FC 25 announces 13 new Ultimate Team Heroes—and you can get one day one

The roster of Heroes in EA FC 25 has expanded, with 13 more greats of the game joining the squad—and you can secure yours for day one.

The Heroes campaign in FC 25 works similarly to ICONS, with great players from the past returning to the title with a special card, and they can be huge additions to your squad. For FC 25, 13 greats are joining the fray, including Premier League legends Eden Hazard and Jamie Carragher, World Cup-winning midfielder Blaise Matuidi, and England’s all-time most-capped player, Fara Williams.

A full list of the new Heroes in FC 25 is below:

• Blaise Matuidi
• Celia Sasic
• Eden Hazard
• Fara Williams
• Guti
• Jaap Stam
• Jamie Carragher
• Laura Georges
• Maicon
• Marek Hamsik
• Mohammed Noor
• Tim Howard
• Ze Roberto

For many of these players, it’s their first time featuring in the series for several years, with Ze Roberto last featuring in FIFA 16, Jamie Carragher returning for the first time since being an ICON in FIFA 17, and Eden Hazard making his first appearance since FIFA 23.

For the first time, players who pre-order the EA FC 25 Ultimate Edition by Aug. 20 receive an “Origin Hero” item on day one with the early access launch on Sept. 20. This item will be automatically upgraded to a “Prime Hero” on Nov. 28.

Players who pre-order the Ultimate Edition by Aug. 20 also receive a bonus in FC 24—an untradeable Hero or ICON from the Greats of the Game campaign.

10 of the new heroes are also coming to EA Sports FC Mobile, with the men’s soccer players mentioned above joining the game later this year.
