All FC 24 Icons so far: New Icons & chemistry explained

If you’re looking for all the new FC 24 Icons, as well as how their chemistry works, then you’re in the right place. FC 24 is the latest football game from EA Sports and the first since they have rebranded the game from FIFA. 

Icons were first introduced in FIFA in 2016, however, they were called Legends then, and since then we have had a few roster changes every year as more players retire. The Icons are some of the best players to have ever played the game with the likes of Pele, Moore, Henry and more available to pop in your team. 

This year, with the introduction of women’s teams to Ultimate Team, we are going to get a few fresh Icons too to spice up the game. So here are all the confirmed Icons we have seen so far, as well as how chemistry will work in FC 24.

The chemistry for Icons is being overhauled slightly this time around, after not being as effective in last year's game because of the new system.

Now, Icons will give 1 boost to every single player, and then an extra boost if they share the same nationality. If you would like to know even more about how chemistry will work in FC 24, we have you covered here.
