FUT HEROES
FUT Heroes are new items introduced in FIFA 22 to celebrate some of football’s most memorable players and unforgettable moments that turned them into fan favourites.
FUT Heroes are not replacing Icons. They have unique league-specific chemistry which is tied to their specific hero moment, providing a green Club link to any player within the same league as well as the usual nation link, giving you new ways to build your dream squad and recreate some of football’s most famous moments in FUT 22.

Ligue 1
ABEDI PELÉ
Ghana’s finest-ever player was given the nickname ”Pele” after the Brazilian icon. Playing for OM in the 90’s, he was known as one of the best playmakers of his generation. He would prove this in the 1993 UEFA Champions League final, where he assisted in the winning goal, immortalising himself in Marseille – and in football history.
MLS
CLINT DEMPSEY
Whether in MLS, the Premier League, or on the international stage, Dempsey left it all on the pitch – and very often in the goal too. The joint top scorer in USMNT history, Dempsey’s return to North American football in Seattle saw him bag an impressive 47 league goals in 115 games – including a memorable hat trick in 2014.
Serie A
DIEGO MILITO
The Argentine marksman flew under the radar for years despite scoring over 50 goals in just over 100 appearances in LaLiga. After joining Inter, though, the world woke up to his goalscoring talents. His two goals in the UEFA Champions League final of 2010 is viewed as a classic striker’s performance. In an era where ”pure” strikers are hard to come by, Milito’s two-goal salvo is fondly remembered as a masterclass of a changing art. Diego Milito is more than deserving of his FUT Hero badge.
LaLiga
FERNANDO MORIENTES
A true target man, Morientes certainly knew where the back of the net was. A regular on the scoresheet for both club and country, among his 100 goals for Real Madrid was the opener in the 2000 UEFA Champions League final – a trademark back post header that sent Los Blancos on their way to their eighth European title. The stuff heroes are made of.
Liga MX
JORGE CAMPOS
The 90s saw a string of top-class, hugely personable goalkeepers hailing from South America. Few are as memorable as Jorge Campos was. He played a high-risk game as a sweeper-keeper, regularly found outside his box, in colourful kits of his own making, and never caught off-guard. He held a clean sheet in the 2nd leg of his team’s title-winning match in 1991. Just one of the moments that make Campos one of our FUT Heroes.
Serie A
IVÁN CÓRDOBA
To be officially announced at a later time.
Bundesliga
MARIO GOMEZ
With over 200 goals in the Bundesliga for some of its biggest clubs, the fearsome striking of Mario Gomez at his peak was known all over the world. But he was always remembered most fondly at home. Particularly setting up the legendary goal that would bring VfB Stuttgart their third Bundesliga title, certifying his status as a club and FUT Hero.
Premier League
ROBBIE KEANE
Robbie Keane scored over 120 Premier League goals for some of England’s biggest teams. A striker who could cause trouble for any defence, teams prepared to play against him. His defining moment came as his constant harrying and haring drove Spurs to their last League Cup win in 2008.
MBS Pro League
SAMI AL-JABER
Sami Al-Jaber scored over 200 goals in a glittering career, and played for Saudi Arabia in four FIFA World Cups – in 1994, 1998, 2002 and finally in 2006. In 2006, his goal against Tunisia made him one of the only players to score in three FIFA World Cup tournaments. He is a national hero, and now, a FUT Hero.
Premier League
TIM CAHILL
Tim Cahill was known all over the Premier League for his all-round chaos potential in the box. Especially dangerous with his heading technique, but Cahill had a wide range of finishes in his locker. Like the sublime overhead kick he scored in 2007. It’s what FUT Heroes are made of.
