In EA FC 24, the new Champions League Heroes could be added to the packs in Ultimate Team this evening. According to the latest leaks, it is possible that they are kicking off an event that could appear this Friday (December 15th)..
What are Champions League Heroes? These special versions were announced long before the official release because they were part of a special pre-order campaign. With the Champions League Heroes, EA Sports is celebrating the strong performances of all new hero cards at the top international level.
The new heroes include OP players like Sneijder, Tévez and Ramires. Here you can see all the UCL heroes at a glance:
After the guaranteed UCL Hero packs were distributed to many pre-orderers two weeks ago, these special versions will be completely added to the player pool this evening, according to the leaker Donk (see post above). His information has proven to be correct many times in the past.
What this means for you is that you might be able to pull them out of the packs as early as 7 p.m. This would also coincide with other leaked information that players have already announced for a new event.
Are the UCL heroes pointing to the team of the group stage?
What event might the new UCL heroes announce? According to the latest leaks, the Team of the Groupstage (TOTGS) could also be published this Friday. The focus of this event is on the players who were able to impress with consistently strong performances throughout the group phase.
The TOTGS is a permanent institution and has been a regular event for years. With the final matchday of the international group stage taking place this week, the TOTGS would come at a sensible time.
In terms of content, the UCL Heroes and the new TOTGS cards would be perfectly coordinated with each other, as both card types have the background of highlighting special achievements in European competitions. Similar to the Heroes, there will traditionally be really strong players among the TOTGS cards. A look at the latest leaks already shows the following players who are likely to be equipped with proper upgrades:
Finally, we would like to point out once again that these are only leaks. We cannot say exactly whether, when and how the content will appear in the game. Based on the thematic overlaps and the leaks presented, we could imagine that both the UCL Heroes and the TOTGS event could await us this week.
Just last Friday, another new event celebrated its premiere. The Dynasties introduce the most famous and successful football families of the past and present.
