Like all previous games in the series, EA Sports FC 26 will be officially launched on September 26 in two versions: Standard Edition and Ultimate Edition, which will be some differences in some in-game features, such as Ultimate Team Player Evolution and non-tradable ICON Players.
Both versions of FC 26 are now available for pre-order. Ultimate Edition grants you seven days of early access and 6,000 FC Points within two months of the game’s official release, while Nintendo Switch players will only receive 4,500. The best part is that Ultimate Edition will also provide pre-order players with the game’s Season 1 Premium Pass, which contains a large amount of FC 26 Coins and decorations.
In addition, the developer recently announced the specific ratings and stats of Icon players that can be obtained by pre-ordering Ultimate Edition. Since the pre-order of this version of FC 26 is about to end, players who are hesitating whether to pre-order it may wish to check the ratings of the bonus players it can provide you and the analysis of them here, which will greatly help you decide.
According to the announcement, the Icon cards of these legendary figures in football history included in EA FC 26 Ultimate Edition will have two versions: Debut version and Champion version. The former pays tribute to their early careers, while the latter shows their style at their peak.
Of course, given that FC 24 has received a lot of praise for adding the Women’s League to the game, there will also be some outstanding female players on Icon player list this time, who may inject some new elements into your best lineup. The following are all Icon players’ specific ratings and stats.

From these data, we can see that Ronaldo and Zlatan Ibrahimović are still your best forward options in this game, because their top shooting ability can make your team have a greater chance of scoring in any situation. Of the two CB players, it is recommended to try Giorgio Chiellini first because he has better defensive ability.
However, it must be said that this player’s passing ability is slightly lacking, and even Champion version does not exceed 70, so before making him your starting lineup, try to invest some FIFA 26 in-game coins in this attribute. Compared with the return it can bring, this expense is very worthwhile.
If you want to avoid trouble, you can also directly choose Tony Kroos or Andreas Iniesta as your starting CM, whose passing rating is relatively high. In addition, Steven Gerrard is also a good choice because he can perfectly combine the two abilities of accurate passing and shooting.
As for the goalkeeper, you can choose anyone. If you are looking for a star player, then the outstanding German goalkeeper Oliver Kahn would be more suitable for you. Among the female players, Alex Morgan with a high shooting rating, and Steffi Jones, with strong defensive ability are both your first choices in the women’s starting lineup.
These are all the icons that can be given to you by pre-ordering the current EA FC 26 Ultimate Edition, as well as their ratings and statistics. These football legends will give your dream team a higher advantage from the beginning, giving you more chances to win in subsequent games and the ability to change the situation in the game. I wish you a merry game!
