A brand-new leak has shaken up the FC 26 community. On Twitter, the reliable leaker DonkTrading has revealed that for the first time in FC history, players will be able to vote for a new Hero. The leak shows that the Hero will be from Bayern Munich, with three club legends to choose from:
- 🇩🇪 Stefan Effenberg
- 🇨🇦 Claudio Pizarro
- 🇧🇷 Giovane Élber
You can vote on the Heroes on this link:
Stefan Effenberg
Effenberg was a midfield leader for Bayern Munich, making 234 appearances and scoring 48 goals for the club. Known for his strong personality and playmaking, he also registered 54 assists while playing over 20,000 minutes. He captained Bayern to Champions League glory in 2001 and remains one of the most iconic German midfielders of his era.
Claudio Pizarro
The Peruvian striker is one of the Bundesliga’s most consistent forwards in history. During his Bayern Munich years, he played 323 games, scored 125 goals, and added 53 assists. Pizarro’s finishing, movement, and longevity made him a fan favorite and one of the most successful foreign players ever in German football.
Giovane Élber
The Brazilian forward was a prolific goalscorer during his time at Bayern, netting 139 goals in 266 appearances. Élber combined flair with efficiency, also contributing 57 assists. He was a key figure in Bayern’s dominance in the late 1990s and early 2000s, remembered as one of the Bundesliga’s most dangerous attackers.
Who Could Win the Vote?
Predicting the outcome is tricky, but Élber may have the edge thanks to his reputation as a pure goalscorer and his iconic role in Bayern’s attacking dominance. However, Pizarro’s long Bundesliga career and global popularity, especially in South America, could see him gather huge support. Effenberg, while a midfield general and Champions League-winning captain, might appeal most to German fans who remember his leadership.
Whichever way the vote goes, the introduction of a Hero vote is a completely new concept for FC, and it could signal a shift toward more community involvement in future content. For now, all eyes are on EA to confirm how fans will be able to vote, and which of these three Bayern legends will make it into FC 26 as a new Hero.
