Every year there is a hot discussion in the community about which football legends should get an icon card in FIFA and which rating the different players would deserve.

Nevertheless, in FIFA 22 we could look forward to four new icons. Robin van Persie, Wayne Rooney, Iker Casillas and Cafu have appeared in FIFA 22. With this, EA has integrated four icons into the game that were still active a few years ago. According to the leaks on Twitter this might change with some potentially new icons for FIFA 23. According to this, the names of Alfredo Di Stefano and Josef Bican keep coming up.
These two legendary strikers dominated the 50s and 60s, respectively and are now expected to appear in FIFA. In addition, the names of Romario and David Villa are mentioned more often. If the leaks on Twitter are true, we can look forward to four new striker icons in FIFA 23. Of course this information has to be taken with caution, because EA SPORTS didn't confirm anything officially.
