Why are there no American Icons for FUT 19

FUT 16 saw not one, but two American Icons (or Legends as they were formerly known), Landon Donovan and Alexi Lalas.
FUT 18 rolled by and no American Icons. Okay, maybe someone messed up or couldn’t get a license in time...
FUT 19 rolls in and still... not a single American Icon.
With EA as an American company, and the US as one of FUT’s major playing fields, I seriously don’t understand why EA have failed to give us even a token American Icon.
Also I know there are a ton of other nationalities that were overlooked in the Icon selection.
And here I thought EA’s rebranding of “Legends” as “Icons” was to be more inclusive of players from different regions that were iconic but not necessarily “legends.”

Bit not a single Scottish icon...EA clearly hate us
Exactly, don't be greedy @RayS
But yeah it’s not fair that some nations missed out, someone like Graham Souness would have been nice for Scotland, some USA guy and maybe a couple of Tamil’s and a Mongolian or 2. I mean we got an Ozzy but nobody from PNG
There are tonnes of Iconic players that haven't been included, especially from Scotland, a lot of people forget just how good some of the Scottish players were in the 80s
Erm Jerry Rice, Tom Brady, Larry Fitzgerald, Brett Favre
Yeah Colin Hendry would be nice, especially because of his hair
I'd personally love Graham Souness, Alan Hansen, Ally McCoist and Jim Baxter from Scotland
Other players like Kenny Dalgleish, Alan Hanson, Davie Cooper, Graham Souness, etc, all have a strong case of being better than some of the icons they did select.
And they all have Iconic status in the game, even from those who didn't / don't support the teams they played for!
Who?
They're arguably some of the greatest American Football players of all time, look them up if you don't know
Don't @ me
I'm sure the Dutch fans know all about gemill
Looks like I got beat by a minute
@RayS, what happened to the next Pele, Freddie Adu?
You're losing your touch fab
Doesn't he play in the Indian league now or something? He was a beast in FM a few years back
*Soccer
LOL
Not necessarily true mate, the premier league is the best and most popular league in the world. So it's hardly surprising it's popular in a game. Going by the ratings so far is say serie A is going to be VERY popular this year, especially with the inclusion of Ronaldo
The Prem has nothing to do with America not getting icons
