FIFA 19 Icons Cards
What are FIFA 19 Icons Cards?
Legends were added for the first time ever in FUT 14. However, since FIFA 18, they were replaced by the FIFA 19 Icons cards. The players of these cards are some retired greatest football players of all time.
The selection of the greatest legends of football has always been a controversial issue in the community. EA does not always choose the best players but this is justified by the necessity of licenses for each player, since they are no longer represented by any club. As the EA budget is limited, they do not always achieve the image usage rights of the true football legends.
The chemistry of the Icons are slightly different from other players. They link well with other Icons and team mates / managers from the same nationality. In FIFA 19, it is much easier to build squads with Icons because since FIFA 16 they link well with todayโs players. You only need to pair Nationality between a player and a Icon to create the strong green link on the pitch.
