New EA FC 26 Heroes leaked as 8 new players set to arrive in Ultimate Team
After a handful of FUT Heroes were leaked earlier this month, leakers have now revealed all the new EA FC 26 FUT Heroes coming to Ultimate Team.
EA Sports must be getting frustrated, because once again, EA FC 26 leaks have revealed new information about the newest EA Sports FC before any official announcements. From new leagues to new FUT card designs, nearly everything there is to know about EA FC 26 has been leaked, but now, just a few weeks after all the new FUT Icons were leaked, EA has a new problem on its hands, with the new EA FC 26 Heroes also being revealed on social media.
FUT Heroes are the level below Icons in Ultimate Team, with Heroes being legendary footballers from the past, but maybe more known for their cult-hero status rather than as a world-beater. Introduced in FIFA 22, EA has added more Heroes to the game each year, and now, it seems we know the eight new FUT Heroes coming in EA FC 26.

Leaker @Fut_Scoreboard posted in a Tweet all of the leaked EA FC 26 FUT Heroes, with eight new players set to arrive. Five of the new leaked Heroes are male, while three are female, including Euro 2022 winner, Jill Scott. FUT cult hero Ricardo Quaresma is set to return to Ultimate Team as a FUT Hero, most likely with a Trivela PlayStyle Plus, while Italian powerhouse Daniele De Rossi could also make a return to the game, with the midfielder last featuring as a player in FIFA 20.
This is the full list of leaked EA FC 26 Heroes, along with predicted positions and player ratings:

(88 OVR) RB: Michel Salgado (88 OVR)
(88 OVR) CM: Louisa Necib (88 OVR)
(88 OVR) CM: Jill Scott (87 OVR)
(87 OVR) CDM: Daniele De Rossi (87 OVR)
(87 OVR) ST: Ivan Zamorano (87 OVR)
(87 OVR) CAM: Pablo Aimar (86 OVR)
(86 OVR) RM: Ricardo Quaresma (86 OVR)
We predict that French midfielder Louisa Necib, Spanish defender Michel Salgado and German midfielder Simone Laudehr could be the highest-rated of the leaked Heroes, while Quaresma and Pablo Aimar could be the lowest.
There were rumours of a different batch of Heroes coming to EA FC 26 earlier this year when eight new Heroes were added to EA Sports FC Online, a PC and Mobile version of EA Sports FC, which is only available in South Korea, China, Thailand and Vietnam.
With this list of Heroes, including the likes of Cesc Fabregas, Estaban Cambiasso and Marouanne Fellaini, not in EA FC 25, it looked like they could be the new Heroes coming to Ultimate Team in EA FC 26, but with some of the most reliable leakers now revealing this new list, it seems not.
Now, remember, none of these players are confirmed to be released as Heroes in EA FC 26, but with such reliable leakers sharing this information, it seems more than likely that these will be the new Heroes in EA FC 26.

How much do women footballers get paid? England player salaries revealed
England are aiming to create yet more history when they play Spain in the Women's Euro 2025 final on Sunday. The Lionesses continue to act as trailblazers for millions of women and girls across the country and their enhanced profile has been reflected by their increased pay in recent years – even if it is still much less than their male counterparts at club level. So, how much do professional women footballers such as Alessia Russo and Leah Williamson make compared to their colleagues playing the men's game? Here is everything you need to know about how much England players earn at their clubs. Women's Super League (WSL) is the top league in women's football in England. WSL players receive an average salary of £25,000 to £27,000 per year. The biggest names can earn much more than this, such as Chelsea's Sam Kerr, who is reported to earn a salary of around £400,000 per year. However, while it's equivalent to the Premier League in status (i.e. it's the top league you can play in), there's a big difference when it comes to the money. In 2019, The Guardian reported that an average Premier League player's pay was around £61,000 per week – totalling more than £3 million a year. Many big-name players, of course, will be earning even more than that. The Football Association now pays players on both England teams equally for representing their country. The fee is around £2,000 per match, with many players opting to give the money away to charity – although that is not a requirement. More Trending The FA says: 'The FA pays its women's players exactly the same as their male counterparts for representing England, both in terms of match fees and match bonuses. 'This parity has been in place since January 2020.' The Lionesses were paid a bonus of £55,000 by the FA for winning Euro 2022, on top of their usual match fee. The team will likely bank more money from the FA if they defend their title against Spain in the Euro 2025 final.

England vs Spain LIVE: Euro 2025 final latest score and confirmed team news
Sort: Newest first Oldest first July 27, 2025 2:44 pm Wright's warning One of England's biggest problems this tournament has been their sluggish starts to matches. They've found themselves behind at half-time in three of their five games and against a Spain side who don't concede many goals, they cannot afford to do the same in the final 'We need to start games better than we're starting games,' Arsenal legend Ian Wright has said. 'We play tournament football. You never go into a game with England and feel really comfortable. 'For some reason, we make it very difficult and then we drag ourselves through because we've got such determination. We've got such character. 'You can't continue to rely on that. At some stage that luck is going to run out and we're going to need to find a way to start games better, and get a foothold in the game.' July 27, 2025 2:30 pm Early team news Sarina Wiegman doesn't tinker with her starting XI much but she may be forced to do so for the final. Lauren James came off at half-time against Italy with an ankle injury but did returning to training on Saturday. But should the Chelsea forward not be deemed fit to start, Wiegman will likely select Beth Mead or Chloe Kelly to slot in at right-wing. Kelly has had the more direct impact this tournament and came off the bench to score the winner in the Euro 2022 final but Mead is perhaps better suited to the tactical set-up. Discover all the early team news and our predicted line-ups here. July 27, 2025 2:15 pm Jess Carter England's journey to the Euro 2025 final has been marred by the online racist abuse aimed at Jess Carter. Ahead of the semi-final, the defender took a step back from social media while the Lionesses will no longer take the knee ahead of kick-off. Sarina Wiegman took Carter out of her starting XI for the Italy win, though she did come on in the final few minutes of extra-time. Esme Morgan is expected to continue in her place for the final. Read more on the story here. July 27, 2025 2:01 pm Bank Holiday on the cards Three hours to kick-off. There is so much on the line today: the chance to be immortalised in history, the pride of a nation and – most importantly – a bank holiday. Prime Minister Keir Starmer is under increasing pressure to reward the country with a bank holiday if the Lionesses triumph this evening. He was in support of the idea ahead of the 2023 World Cup final loss and suggested it would've happened had the men's team won the Euros last year. 'Retaining the title would be one of our country's greatest sporting achievements,' Liberal Democrat culture, media and sport spokesman Max Wilkinson said. 'Fans and patriots across the country deserve the chance to celebrate the talent, success and historic achievement of this amazing team. 'A Bank Holiday would also give our hospitality industry a much-needed assist and boost.' July 27, 2025 1:43 pm Hayes: 'Don't start Agyemang' Without question, the breakout star of Euro 2025 has been Michelle Agyemang. The teenager, who had just one England appearance to her name before the tournament, scored the crucial equalisers against Sweden and Italy. There's great clamour for the Arsenal forward to start, but Chelsea legend and USA manager Emma Hayes doesn't think she should. 'As good as Michelle's impact has been with her three goals in four caps, it is another jump up to do it from the start. 'There is so much a starting centre-forward has to do other than score goals, including to set the press, and Alessia Russo knows that role inside out.' Read the full story here. July 27, 2025 1:29 pm Spain's route to the final By comparison, Spain's journey to the Euro 2025 final has been fairly easy. They cruised to the top of Group B by defeating Portugal 6-0, Belgium 6-2 and Italy 3-1. Host nation Switzerland made things difficult in the quarter-finals, saving two penalties, but Spain still secured a 2-0 win. The only match they've struggled in was the semi-final against Germany, with only a moment of magic from Aitana Bonmati in extra-time separating the two sides. Spain may be world champions but this will be their first Euros final… July 27, 2025 1:17 pm England's route to the final To say that England's journey to the Euro 2025 final has been chaotic would be a massive understatement. Drawn in the 'Group of Death', the Lionesses lost their opening match 2-1 to France but recovered to beat the Netherlands 4-0 and Wales 6-1. They were so close to being knocked out at the quarter-final stage after going 2-0 down at half-time to Sweden but were rescued by late goals from Lucy Bronze and Michelle Agyemang. In the subsequent penalty shootout, they were twice on the verge of elimination but Hannah Hampton's heroics saved them and they snuck through. It was a similar story in the semi-final, with Agyemang netting a 96th minute equaliser after Italy had the lead the game for so long. With another shootout looming, England won a penalty which Chloe Kelly took – her effort was saved but she tucked in the rebound to send the Lionesses to Basel. July 27, 2025 12:54 pm England fans in good voice The atmosphere in Basel has been bubbling up nicely all weekend, with comedian Maisie Adam among the England fans getting ready for kick-off in just over four hours' time. They all believe the Lionesses will triumph, as does Rachel Brown-Finnis. 'What Sarina Wiegman does is create an environment off as well as on the pitch where players can thrive,' the former England goalkeeper writes in her Metro column. 'There is never a doubt from her that England can get an outcome and for her, rightly, the result outweighs everything. That's not complacency – just real, real belief. 'They now need to show that, because we all know how difficult this is going to be if our never-say-die Lionesses are to make history. But we can do it again, we really can.' July 27, 2025 12:37 pm 2023 World Cup flashback Today's final is of course a rematch of the 2023 World Cup final and the Lionesses will be hoping for a very different result. Spain beat England 1-0 in Australia to win their first World Cup with Olga Carmona scoring the winner in the first-half. Spain were the better team for much of the game and nearly doubled their lead late on, but Mary Earps notably saved Jenni Hermoso's penalty. Earps is among several notable England stars who started that final but are not at Euro 2025. July 27, 2025 12:14 pm Arsenal vs Newcastle Speaking of Arsenal, Mikel Arteta's side are in action right now as they take on Newcastle in a pre-season friendly. Martin Zubimendi is making his first start for the Gunners while new signing Viktor Gyokeres will be unveiled to the fans in Singapore. You can follow that match here, but make sure you come back to continue our build-up to the Euro 2025 final! July 27, 2025 12:00 pm Arsenal provide the key to victory? If nothing else, the Euro 2025 final should be a fascinating game of football from a tactical point of view. Sarina Wiegman will need to deliver a tactical masterclass to defeat Spain, who are the world champions and favourites to be crowned European champions. But could the Lionesses boss be inspired by Arsenal? The Gunners pulled off an upset win in the Champions League final two months ago against a Barcelona side near-identical to the Spain team that will play today. Read our full tactical preview here. July 27, 2025 11:44 am Euro 2022 flashback Just under three years ago, the Lionesses made history. After 56 years of hurt, England finally brought football home. Ella Toone opened the scoring at Wembley before old rivals Germany equalised, sending the final to extra-time. Cloe Kelly then did what she does best, coming off the bench to score the winner and giving the country a moment they'll never forget. The Lionesses brought football home. Today, they fight to keep it there. July 27, 2025 11:28 am Dear Sarina… 'So here we are again – the final. You've led dear England to three major finals in four years and a first trophy since 1966. 'Where would we be without you? It's a golden generation but great teams need great leaders and we have you. Never mind Southgate – Sarina, you're the one.' Read the Metro's full open letter to Sarina Wiegman and the Lionesses here. July 27, 2025 11:13 am Kick-off time Switzerland have done a great job of hosting this tournament, with the final taking place at the St. Jakob-Park stadium in Basel. Over 34,000 are expected at the ground, with millions more watching worldwide. The final will kick-off at 5pm UK time. July 27, 2025 11:01 am Welcome! Good morning and welcome to the Metro's LIVE blog where we're counting down until the final of Euro 2025 between England and Spain! The European champions take on the world champions in Basel this evening. Can the Lionesses make history?
