Is David Beckham about to become a new icon in Ultimate Team (FUT) in FIFA 21? Dataminers have now stumbled upon hints.
This is likely to make many people happy: It looks like one of the biggest soccer players of the 90s and early 2000s could be coming as an Icon for FIFA 21 Ultimate Team – David Beckham. Dataminers apparently found hints in the recent Title Update 5.
Beckham has always been missing as an Icon in FIFA – just like Oliver Kahn or Franz Beckenbauer. These players have always been found in the FIFA competitor PES in recent years.

This has been discovered: According to leaker ponnyslakteriet, all information and the player model of Beckham have already been added with the data from Title Update 5. However, EA still needs to activate him, so Beckham is not yet available in the game.
You can view the footage here:
He is supposed to have a rating of 92 on his Prime card and should be seen there with the buzz cut, his short hairstyle from the early 2000s. According to the leak, he only has 3 stars for Skill Moves, which seems a bit off, but is currently found this way in the data. Beckham is said to have 4 stars on his weak foot and also show work rates of High/High.
How likely is this? The data is said to come directly from the game. If that’s true, there is indeed a high likelihood that we will soon see Beckham as an icon in FUT.
What makes some skeptical: David Beckham signed a long-term exclusive contract with Konami, the makers of Pro Evolution Soccer, in 2017. However, it is unclear how “long-term” this agreement actually was, and it may well be that there is no longer any obligation or binding for Beckham in this regard.
This is David Beckham: Whether in the league or in the English national team – Beckham is likely one of the best and undoubtedly among the most well-known players in the world who played soccer in the 90s and 2000s and captivated entire generations. Especially his phenomenal free kicks are likely to be remembered by many.
If the leak is true and Beckham actually comes as an Icon to FUT, then FIFA players can look forward to fantastic shooting and free kick stats for his Icon cards.
