EA Sports FC 24 FUT Heroes – all new players and ratings confirmed

EA has revealed its full set of new EA Sports FC 24 FUT Heroes that will be available in Ultimate Team this season. The unveiling of the players is now complete, with 19 heroes making up the class of ’24. This includes three female Heroes for the very first time!

With the EA Sports FC 24 release date fast approaching, a new type of Hero item has been confirmed. You can guarantee yourself one of the new items by meeting pre-order certain criteria. All the EA Sports FC 24 pre-order, price, and editions information is now available, so make sure you know what you’re getting.

FC 24 FUT Heroes explained

FUT Hero cards were introduced to us in FIFA 22, bringing club legends and cult heroes back to the game. Heroes are effectively second-tier Icons, although this feels harsh on certain players.

Some Heroes were previously Icons such as Jay-Jay Okocha, and this has benefited them greatly thanks to the new chemistry system. While Icons added an extra point to the nationality threshold, FUT Heroes add an extra point to the league threshold instead. (Icons have since been boosted to add a point to every league in your side, as well as players that share a nationality.)

Each FUT Hero had one basic item at the start of FIFA 23. Heroes were then included in several promo events throughout the season, including World Cup, Fantasy FUT, and Shapeshifters.

Seven players shared an 89 OVR for their base Hero item. David Ginola is by far the fan-favourite! However, Lucio and Abedi Pele also featured in many teams earlier in the season.

New FC 24 FUT Heroes list

EA Sports has unveiled its brand-new FC 24 FUT Heroes, with 19 players revealed. Each player has been re-imagined by Marvel as comic book heroes and heroines, and you can take them to the pitch in FC 24 Ultimate Team.

Each new Ultimate Team Hero this year will be remembered for how they performed both domestically and in Europe. The selected players will be celebrated with a base version as well as a UEFA Champions League or UEFA Women’s Champions League version. This will commemorate their European greatness.

Serie A has three new options, including the two highest-rated UCL items. Coming with a 91 overall on their UCL Hero items are Dutch wizard Wesley Sneijder and Italian magician Gianluca Vialli. Both are sure to go down a storm with fans. In-game commentator and former England international Alex Scott was the first female Hero to be revealed. She was followed by Frauen Bundesliga legend Nadine Kessler and Sonia Bompastor representing the D1 Arkema.

Former Arsenal stars Nwankwo Kanu and Tomas Rosicky have also been revealed. Sadly for Gunners fans, neither player will have the Premier League chemistry links for their UCL Hero item. Kanu will belong to the Eredivisie, while Rosicky’s item refers to his Borussia Dortmund days and will bolster the Bundesliga options.

Watch out for American flyer DeMarcus Beasley. He is our tip to be this season’s alternative to Saeed Al-Owairan. The Saudi Arabian dominated FIFA 23 Ultimate Team with his electric pace, and we envisage Beasley being capable of similar.

We saw Hidetoshi Nakata and Jay-Jay Okocha change from Icons to FUT Heroes in FIFA 23. Rui Costa and Jari Litmanen have had the same treatment in FC 24.

New UCL and UWCL Heroes

In FIFA 23 we saw World Cup Heroes. As this year will not have a World Cup, and EA has split with FIFA, these will not exist. Instead, UCL and UWCL Heroes will be added to the game in late November. Celebrating greats in both the UEFA Champions League and UEFA Women’s Champions League, these new items will be among the first of the ‘campaign’ hero items.

You can guarantee yourself a UCL or UWCL Hero in EA Sports FC 24. If you pre-order the game before August 22, you will receive a free UCL or UWCL Hero. The item will be untradeable and delivered on November 27. The new items look set to feature dynamic background images too which is a great new addition to the game.
