What can Heroes do in FC 26?

In EA FC 26, Heroes are not only rare player cards but also play an important role in building a squad in Ultimate Team. These are stars who have made a big mark in their careers but have not been ranked as legendary like Icons.

 

The most special feature of Heroes is the exclusive bonding effect: when placed with players of the same league or nationality, they will bring a very high chemistry boost, helping gamers easily combine more balanced squads. Thanks to that, Heroes often become a strategic piece in the meta, especially for teams that lack strong bonding in a specific position.

In addition to their gameplay value, Heroes also appear throughout major FUT events such as Season Pass rewards, limited-time campaigns, or through Objectives and Squad Building Challenges.

Although not automatically upgraded like Icons, Heroes can still have their stats improved through special promos or the EVOs system, helping them stay competitive throughout the season. Not only stopping at performance, Heroes also have emotional value for the community, when bringing back names that were once icons such as Ricardo Quaresma with the legendary trivela, or Daniele De Rossi - the symbol of AS Roma's loyalty.

In short, Heroes in EA FC 26 are both tools to help gamers optimize their squad and create tactical advantages, and are also valuable collectible cards that evoke football memories and add emotion to the FUT experience.
