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:

(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.

The team's never-say-die attitude in Switzerland means it is three finals in a row after their Euros victory in 2022 and their heartbreaking 1-0 World Cup defeat to Spain two years ago. This year they have flirted with disaster several times, going two down to Sweden in the quarter-finals before pulling it back, then winning a nail-biting penalty shoot-out. And against Italy in the semi-final they were seconds from elimination when forward Michelle Agyemang struck deep into stoppage time. Her 96th-minute equaliser took it to extra time before Euros 2022 hero Chloe Kelly grabbed a winner from the penalty spot. Here, as the big match looms, we present our heroines when they were youngsters.

Born in Barrow-in-Furness, Cumbria, she was playing alongside her three older brothers for Furness Rovers FC from the age of three. The 26-year-old confessed: 'I didn't know what I was doing. I was just kicking the ball, but I loved it. 'When I'd turn up at games, the opposition would be like, 'Ooh, there's a girl playing', but I thrived on it.' 17 Georgia was a key figure in the Lionesses' historic Euro 2022 triumph, scoring the winner against Spain in the quarter-final Credit: Shutterstock Editorial Georgia sharpened her skills in Blackburn Rovers' youth system, scoring 31 goals in just 14 games for their Under-17s side. She broke into the senior team in 2015, before making the move to Manchester City at 16. The tattoo fan joined German giants Bayern Munich in July 2022, helping them win three Frauen-Bundesliga titles and a German Cup by the end of the 2024-25 season.

Born in South Ockendon, Essex, the Arsenal fan was giving the boys a run for their money at her local club, Brandon Groves AFC, at just five years old. Vice-chairman and girls' coach Roy Enright, 45, said: 'It is fantastic to see her progress. 'It is brilliant for the club here and for girls' football generally.' Michelle joined Arsenal's academy at six and has been a Gunner ever since, making her senior debut at just 16 in 2022.

Sarina Wiegman says Euro 2025 ‘craziest' run of tournament matches in her career
The Dutchwoman's defending champions are now just one win away from their second major trophy, but will need to seek revenge on Spain – who beat them in the World Cup final two summers ago – to secure back-to-back European titles. To reach this point, the Lionesses have leaned on late heroics, a never-say-die attitude, a sprinkle of luck and the wisdom of a head coach described by her Football Association boss as priceless, one who has now led teams to an unprecedented five consecutive major-tournament finals. 'In this environment you have challenges all the time. Before the World Cup, we had challenges with players who were injured,' said Wiegman. What an achievement 🤝 — Lionesses (@Lionesses) July 24, 2025 'Of course, we prepare a lot and we know the players really well. We think of scenarios, 'Who is the first player to select? Who is the second?'. You're prepared for challenges. 'But in this tournament, it has been the craziest one with how the games went. That has been different.' Wiegman was forced to navigate through tumult even before the tournament started. The shock retirements of Euro 2022-winning goalkeeper Mary Earps and attacking midfielder Fran Kirby were followed by veteran defender Millie Bright – who captained England at the 2023 World Cup – withdrawing from selection to prioritise her physical and mental health. 'Of course, the challenge ahead of the tournament – whether players are available or not – the result is the same as an injured player or a player who is not available,' said Wiegman. 🏴 England's road to the #WEURO2025 final ✨ — UEFA Women's EURO 2025 (@WEURO2025) July 25, 2025 'You have to move on to what you want and who is ready to compete.' Some of those primed to do battle were expected – like Lucy Bronze, the 33-year-old now seven-time major tournament veteran Wiegman hailed as 'one of a kind', after she sparked England's stunning quarter-final comeback over Sweden with a late goal, then emphatically netted the winning penalty with the Lionesses' seventh try. But surprise standouts have also emerged in Switzerland, perhaps none so powerfully as 19-year-old Michelle Agyemang, twice England's saviour with equalisers in their quarter and semi-final comebacks. Speaking to Agyemang, who has won three of her four England caps at this tournament, or 21-year-old Chelsea forward Aggie Beever-Jones, paints a picture of Wiegman as a maternal figure, particularly for her seven major-tournament debutants. 'Yeah (I feel like a mum)', agreed Wiegman. 'You know, sometimes when people say about 'the girls' I think, are they meaning my daughters, or are they meaning my team. Work mode 🔛 — Lionesses (@Lionesses) July 25, 2025 'So that's tricky, I'm kind of a caring person so I need to, maybe that's the part, I care about them but at the same time I'm the coach, I'm making these hard decisions at the moment so sometimes you should leave that caring and leave it up to them. 'They're grown-up women! But at least a mum should care.' Wiegman is under contract until after the 2027 World Cup. On Thursday, FA chief Mark Bullingham said she was 'not for sale' and 'no price at all' would be tempting enough to allow her to be prised away. And while she admits some of the attention is 'awkward', Wiegman added: 'Of course I find it very special too. But I do believe that everyone plays his or her part in the success. 'What I'm trying to do is bring people together in the best possible way, players and staff and the people around me are really, really good. And if they perform at their highest level, then the chance of winning a game is the highest possible. And that's what I'm trying to do. 'I think I'm pretty good at bringing people together, but without the quality, you're not going to win a tournament.'
