19, 2025 Follow EA Sports FC 26 EA Sports has spilled 3 new Heroes coming to FC 26 Ultimate Team as part of Team 1 of the Winter Wildcards promo: Ivan Zamorano, Claudio Pizarro and Jill Scott.

The Details

The Bayern and Werder Bremen legend Claudio Pizarro is famously the Bundesliga s oldest ever player, after turning out well past 40 years of age - up front no less. But he s making an appearance in FC 26 because he clutched the Hero Vote Poll a few months ago, with the Peruvian edging out notable nutter Steffan Effenberg and the prolific Brazilian striker, Elber.

The love for South American Heroes continues with Ivan Zamorano presented in his Real Madrid guise rather than part of the unbelievably stacked Inter squad which featured legends and Icons ranging from current Atletico Madrid manager Diego Simeone to Javier Zanetti and Ronaldo Nazario. And probably most interestingly, Queen of the Jungle and centurion Lioness, Jill Scott, is also coming to shore up the midfield with a card which fits the Gullit Gang pre-requisite of all face stats over 80 - including a dominant 91 physical befitting her role as one of the most recognisable enforcers in women s football.

Why This Matters

Whether her in-game body type will actually let her put that strength out on the pitch (she will surely also have Bruiser) remains to be seen, but she could easily have the gangly aura of Patrick Vieira if the rest of her PlayStyles are right. New Ultimate Team Heroes have been added mid-season before, including the likes of Enzo Francescoli in FC 24, but 3 at once looks to indicate that EA is leaning on Heroes to add fan-favourite players to the game with a lower threshold than Icons.

Gaming fans have strong opinions about moves like this, and for good reason.
