That wasn’t the only leak to surface, as Jude Belligham will reportedly be the cover athlete, joining Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, among others, to appear on consecutive titles in the series. And in addition to new ICONS, the new class of Heroes was revealed.

FIFA 23 first introduced Heroes. They are designed to honor players who have achieved cult status either at their club or national team, but never quite reached the legendary status of an ICON. As such, Heroes have lower stats compared to ICONS and also have more chemistry restrictions than ICON cards.
Heroes need players from their league and nation to achieve maximum chemistry, while ICONS can reach maximum chemistry without relying on other cards. That being said, some upgraded versions of Hero cards in EA FC 25 were some of the best players in Ultimate Team.
EA FC 25 featured 198 Heroes. It remains to be seen how many of those players will return for the next game, and if there are any plans to add more than the revealed list.
