David Beckham will appear this week in FIFA 21 and will come as an icon to Ultimate Team. Here you will find out how strong his cards will be.
When does David Beckham come? The English legend will appear this week: From December 4, Beckham will be available as an icon in Ultimate Team. There he will be found in packs, and presumably shortly thereafter on the transfer market. However, he is expected to be quite expensive, and the chances of icons in packs are low.
The midfielder will first come into play with his base and mid-icon card. His third card will then, like the other prime icons, be released at a later date. Nothing is known yet about a prime icon moments card.
By the way: There will also be a special gift card from Beckham for all FUT players. However, it will not be available until December 15 and is not a typical icon card, but an item that commemorates Beckham’s debut at Real Madrid. This will please many players, as many have wanted Beckham in FIFA for a long time.
How strong will Beckham’s cards be?
All three icon cards of Beckham have now been officially presented. This is what they look like:
This is what Beckham’s 87 card makes: The card is positioned in the central midfield and brings good stats there overall. The 78 pace is sufficient for the central midfield and can be enhanced with chemistry styles if necessary. He has good stats in dribbling and shooting, and particularly strong passing stats. Physically, the values are also decent, and the defensive stats are still above 70. The card should be perfect as a playmaker in central position.
This is what the 89 and 92 cards make: We summarize these cards here, as they are very similar in terms of the pure stats on the card. Both are positioned in the right midfield and bring an 80 pace with them, which is not ideal for a wing sprinter. However, both have very good stats in dribbling, passing, and shooting, and their physicality is good as well. Only defensively, both lag behind compared to the 87 card.
It is certain that Beckham will score fantastic free kicks – after all, he was well known for that during his career. By the way: Beckham will also come to Volta in the form of a Groundbreaker player.
Overall, both cards are very strong. Once Beckham is in the game, the in-game stats will show how much the two high cards differ. However, both are likely to be more suitable for a central role than on the wing. Here, one might have to adjust in the match.
Also, on December 4, the upgrade for PS5 and Xbox Series X in FIFA 21 will be released. It aims to impress with improved graphics, faster loading times, and new features.
