FC 24 Base Icons guide as Zico, Hamm and Ribery arrive
Bobby Charlton is another new name on the FC 24 Base Icons list
The FC 24 Base Icons system is structured differently to what you're used to from the FIFA days. Gone are Prime and Mid Icons for EA Sports FC 24. Instead, legendary players get additional limited releases through promos like FC 24 Centurions and FC 24 Thunderstruck. The Base versions are still worth owning, however, and there are eight newcomers including Bobby Charlton, Mia Hamm, Zico, and Franck Ribery. Keep scrolling down for the complete FC 24 Base Icons list.
All the new FC 24 Base Icons
