The popular World Tour Silver Superstars mode in EA Sports FC 26 is about to get a major update. When Season 2 launches this Thursday, players can look forward to a fresh batch of legendary icons joining the silver ranks.
Season 1 recap
Season 1 set the tone for this special game mode, featuring names like Bobby Charlton, Eusebio, Garrincha, Yashin, and Bobby Moore. Those Icons could be unlocked through season objectives and used in a dedicated silver-only tournament that offered strong rewards and competitive matchmaking. The season celebrated England’s 1966 World Cup win.
Season 2 theme
According to new leaks from Fut Sheriff on Twitter, the next group of Silver Superstars revolves around the legendary 1970 World Cup, a tournament remembered for Brazil’s 4-1 victory over Italy and its cast of footballing greats.
Among the new Icons, players can expect:
- 🇧🇷 Pelé
- 🇧🇷 Jairzinho
- 🇧🇷 Carlos Alberto
- 🇩🇪 Gerd Müller
- 🇩🇪 Franz Beckenbauer
Five legendary players
The 1970 World Cup marked a golden era of attacking football. Pelé, Jairzinho, and Carlos Alberto all scored in the final, sealing Brazil’s third title. Müller finished as the tournament’s top scorer with 10 goals, and Beckenbauer’s heroic performance playing through a dislocated shoulder in the Game of the Century became football folklore.
How to unlock and what to expect
If the structure follows Season 1, these new Silver Icons will be available through progressive objectives, with a tournament at the end of the season limited to silver squads and rewarding those who complete the grind. Season 2 of FC 26 kicks off this Thursday, and the arrival of these iconic names is expected to make the silver grind one of the most exciting modes in Ultimate Team right now.
