⚽ Why These Heroes Stand Out

Louisa Necib: French midfield masterpiece with 18 trophies at Lyon.
Simone Laudehr: Scored Germany’s World Cup-winning goal in 2007 and lifted UEFA Women's Champions League glory.
Michel Salgado & Iván Zamorano: Cult Real Madrid figures with iconic styles—Salgado’s defensive grit and Zamorano’s finishing flair.
Jill Scott: Euro-winning England midfielder turned popular pundit.
Ricardo Quaresma: Known for his magical trivela and creativity.
Daniele De Rossi: One-club Roma legend and tireless midfielder.
Pablo Aimar: Argentine playmaker defined elegance and vision.

🚫 No Pre-Order Upgrades This Year

Heroes in FC 26 won’t follow the pre-order upgrade model seen in FC 25 (Origin → Prime). Icons will still upgrade, but base Hero cards won’t—although promo and EVO versions may appear throughout the year.

📝 Final Thoughts

This year’s Hero lineup bridges eras, genders, and playing styles—letting fans build UT squads with champions of grace, grit, and cult status. Keep an eye out for EVO versions and promo upgrades, because these cards will deliver both beauty and impact.
