Icon Graveyard
Please pay your respects to these lost Icons that EA have decided were too expensive to renegotiate into being included in FUT.
I'm pretty disappointed in this trend (removing tons of Legends from previous years but giving each Icon 3 unique-ish versions) for Legends/Icons. Hopefully losing all of these players was a one-time issue from 17 to 18. It's easy to get excited about Cruyff, Zidane, etc., but I hate losing 40 Icons and getting a handful of newer/fancier ones.

the FUT player in me really misses Beckenbauer, Best and Romairo (never got to use him in 14)
they removed Romario at the end of 14 when he ran for Brazilian office. But in ever year after EA just added without subtracting.... until 18, -39

I’d rather have a Zidane instead of Neville/Carragher/OGS/Donovan etc
Take a look at the current Icons. Other than a few of the top prime versions (mostly due to SBCs), a few random strikers, and then a few low-rated position change versions, the vast majority of these Icons are never used (i.e. I have come up against them 0-1 times over all of FUT 18).
Yes, Zidane is obviously better than Phil Neville. EA could have a set of 20 Icons or a set of 200 Icons, and most users would still only use the same "elite" ones (e.g. Gullit, Vieira, Ronaldo, Ferdinand, etc.). If you're playing FUT just to use the 11 most OP cards, you're missing out on the best aspects of this wonderful game mode.
nope, having three version of one player when one is actually wanted doesn't make it "more content." let's not forget how idiotic the staggered and unsteady release were.
They should add Ballack,, Facchetti, Cafu, Cruyff and Cantona and maybe a cheap one like Vieri or zola to return.
I agree to an extent but someone like Valderama was terrible. There’s loyalty and nostalgia but when he performs terribly nobody will care.
The clones will always use the same cards and not try any variation which I agree is the best thing about the game.
Valderrama was ridiculously good at dribbling and passing and sold for discard price. I cared and I'm sure plenty of other people do too.
If you thought he was good you’d blow your mind if you used some elite players.
I think I broke a controller against an unstoppable Valderrama/silver Colombian team haha.
Freaking kid hit so many shots with Pibe lol
I'm pretty sure he has every legend and nearly every special card that's existed.
Valderama was worthwhile just for best hair in game & his dribbling style was unique
Nah, ball boys that joined less than a week ago always have all the answers!
I agree with OP. It’s sad, and I hope the trend is reversed. I miss a number of the past legend cards.
This. Pretty sure he had nearly every player one year
Hope it's just this year where they missed out on it & sorted it for the next few fifa's after, heard somewhere (but haven'tbeen able to find the proof) that Calum Best said in an interview to basically stay tuned on info about George Best back in fifa, as I said couldn't find the interview etc.
I think they also really need to sort out icon stats and appearance in general.
