There’s even talk of one of the new Icons being available as part of a limited-time pre-order bonus—though again, this is unconfirmed and should be taken with caution. If true, this could make FC 26 Coins Ultimate Edition one of the most enticing pre-order bundles in the series’ history.

How New Icons Could Impact the Meta
The introduction of 12 new Icons isn’t just a cosmetic upgrade—it could shift the entire Ultimate Team meta. Icons are known to provide strong chemistry links and high in-game performance, making them ideal for competitive play. Their presence enables hybrid squads, encourages creative formations, and introduces a wider range of playstyles.

Imagine building a midfield with Yaya Touré and Vieira, or a cheap FIFA 26 Coins strike force combining Villa and Mbappé. These kinds of combinations not only excite fans, they also breathe new life into competitive gameplay.
