The release of EA FC 25 is getting closer, and EA Sports has already presented the new Hero cards for Ultimate Team. Here you can see an overview of which Heroes will be in FC 25.
What are Hero cards in Ultimate Team? The FUT Heroes introduced in FIFA 22 are special cards that are very similar to the well-known “Icons”: They receive strong cards for performances from past days, making them fan favorites.
The special thing about these cards is that, unlike Icon cards, they are assigned to a specific league. A FUT Hero from the Bundesliga then receives a chemistry point for players from that league. In addition, there is the usual chemistry bonus for players of the same nationality.
Which cards have been presented now? On X, EA has now presented all new Hero cards for EA FC 25. In total, there will be 14 Heroes at launch, of which 13 are completely new. Only Yaya Touré’s Hero card from the predecessor is included again.
This time, the special thing is: The new Hero cards will first appear in the new Origin variant, which represents a kind of base version of the cards. Later, on November 28, 2024, the new Hero cards will receive automatic upgrades to the Prime versions.
So anyone who draws a Hero card at the start can look forward to a decent upgrade in November.

How strong are the Hero cards? EA has not yet provided us with the detailed values and stats of the new Heroes. Currently, we can only see the overall rating of the new Hero cards as well as the improved ratings of the Prime versions.
As soon as there are detailed ratings, we will update this post.
What about the Hero cards from FC 24? It is not yet known whether some Hero cards from FC 24 will make the jump to FC 25. It is quite possible that they will be introduced at a later time.
Anyone looking to secure a Hero card at the start of FC 25 must opt for the Ultimate Edition of FC 25. A random Hero card is included in the pre-order bonuses but only until August 20.
