Released by EA Sports a few days ago, the World Cup Icons pack has been highly anticipated by FUT gamers throughout the FIFA community.

Icons are some of the strongest cards in FUT – not only because of their unbelievable stats, but also because they push your team chemistry to the limit.

For Team 1's release, legends from various eras are featured. Brazilian icon Ronaldo Nazario is joined by a fellow legend from his era, Zinedine Zidane. 

Other legends from that era in this team include Danish great Michael Laudrup, Frenchman Emmanuel Petit, and Portugal's enigmatic figure Luis Figo.
