The hype around EA Sports FC 26 has just kicked into another gear after a major leak revealed the upcoming pre-order icons and their ratings. While some players have already been confirmed through official EA channels, the majority of the information comes from a high-profile Twitter leak that has quickly taken over the FUT community.
According to FUT Police LEAKS, the list contains some of the biggest names in football history alongside new faces making their icon debut. The leak includes both men’s and women’s legends, suggesting that EA is continuing its push to make women’s football a major part of Ultimate Team.
A Leak That Matches Official Clues
The leak first gained traction after a post from FUT Police LEAKS, which included the full icon list with upgraded ratings. What makes this leak particularly interesting is that several of the names and ratings line up exactly with what has been spotted in official storefronts.
The PlayStation Store briefly displayed the pre-order bonus details, revealing three icons: Zlatan Ibrahimović (92), Thierry Henry (91) and Andrés Iniesta (92). This alone was enough to get fans talking, but things escalated when EA themselves began to drop teasers. On Twitter, EA Sports FC posted short reveal videos for Alex Morgan and Toni Kroos, confirming their inclusion in the game’s icon roster. While EA did not publish Kroos’ overall rating, the leak claims it will be 90.
The Full Leaked Pre-Order Icons List
The leak claims that the following players will be included as pre-order icons in FC 26, complete with their upgraded ratings where known:
- 🇧🇷 Ronaldo – 92
- 🇸🇪 Zlatan Ibrahimović – 92
- 🇪🇸 Andrés Iniesta – 92
- 🇩🇪 Oliver Kahn – 91
- 🇫🇷 Thierry Henry – 91
- 🇩🇪 Toni Kroos – 90
- 🇮🇹 Francesco Totti – 89
- 🇧🇷 Marcelo – 89
- 🇧🇷 Sissi – rating unconfirmed
- 🇸🇪 Caroline Seger – rating unconfirmed
- 🇺🇸 Alex Morgan – rating unconfirmed
- 🇬🇧 Paul Scholes / Frank Lampard / Steven Gerrard – ratings unconfirmed
- 🇰🇷 Cha Bum-Kun – rating unconfirmed
While some ratings remain unknown, the names alone have already created a wave of excitement. The inclusion of new women’s icons such as Morgan, Sissi, and Seger signals another step toward gender integration in Ultimate Team.
Why These Ratings Are Getting Attention
One talking point from the leak is that Iniesta’s 92 rating is reportedly two points higher than Kroos’ 90. Many FUT players have been debating whether this is justified. Supporters of the higher rating point to Iniesta’s legendary passing range, ball control, and influence in big matches. Critics argue that Kroos’ consistent excellence, set-piece quality, and longevity should put him closer to Iniesta’s level.
The leaked ratings also reveal some intriguing choices. Francesco Totti at 89 could make him a popular mid-tier icon for players who enjoy flair over meta pace, while Marcelo’s 89 rating would make him one of the highest-rated attacking full-backs in FUT history.
Official Hints Are Adding Credibility
What makes this leak believable is how closely it aligns with what EA has already shown. Ibrahimović, Henry, and Iniesta have been confirmed via the PS Store, while Morgan and Kroos have been officially revealed on EA’s social channels. Even if the full list is not 100 percent accurate, there is little doubt that many of these names will appear as pre-order bonuses.
Why Pre-Order Icons Matter
Pre-order icons are more than just early access to big names. They give players an immediate advantage in building squads for Ultimate Team, often arriving as untradeable items that can dominate in early matches. For many FUT veterans, securing a top-tier icon from day one can set the tone for the entire season.
If the leak is correct, FC 26 could be delivering one of the most diverse and star-studded icon line-ups ever offered as a pre-order reward, mixing football royalty from multiple generations with fresh legends from the women’s game.
