The release of EA FC 25 is getting closer and EA Sports has already introduced the new hero cards for Ultimate Team. Here you can see an overview of which heroes will be included in FC 25.
WWhat are hero cards in Ultimate Team? Introduced in FIFA 22, FUT Heroes are special cards that are very similar to the well-known “icons”: They get powerful cards for past achievements that made them fan favorites.
The special thing about these cards is that, unlike the icon cards, they are each assigned to a specific league. A FUT hero from the Bundesliga then gets a chemistry point for players from that league. In addition, there is the usual chemistry bonus for players of the same nationality.

Which cards have now been introduced? At X, EA has now presented all the new hero cards for EA FC 25. There will be a total of 14 heroes at release, 13 of which are completely new. Only one hero card from the predecessor, Yaya Touré, is included again.
What’s special this time: The new Hero cards will first appear in the new Origin variant, which is a kind of basic version of the cards. Later on November 28, 2024, the new Hero cards will receive automatic upgrades to the Prime versions.
So if you draw a Hero card at the beginning, you can look forward to a decent upgrade in November.
