FC 24 Golazo guide with new cards for Cruyff, Crouch and Cafu

The FC 24 Golazo promo is done, but there's still time to pick up cards on the transfer market. They're worth hunting down too, as this EA Sports FC 24 campaign focussed on the stars of yesteryear. Both Icons and Heroes got fresh items, based on their past goalscoring exploits. Ferenc Puskas, Kaka and Gianluca Vialli were three of those who scored upgrades. This FC 24 Golazo guide explains the campaign in full.

What is FC 24 Golazo?

It was indeed a Good Friday for Ultimate Team addicts, as FC 24 Golazo replaced the wildly popular FC 24 FUT Birthday campaign. There are no modern-day players in this one. Instead all cards are upgrades for FC 24 Base Icons and FC 24 Heroes. According to EA, the campaign is about “reliving the goals that defined their career and the memorable celebrations that followed”. That means the promo is scarce on keepers and defenders, but there are still numerous eye-catching cards.

Who is in FC 24 Golazo Team 1?

FC 24 Golazo Team 1 landed on Friday, March 29 with Johan Cruyff (CF, Netherlands) as its top-rated Icon. The Dutch delight scores an OVR of 97, well ahead of Bobby Charlton (CAM, England), Cafu (RB, Brazil), and Birgit Prinz (ST, Germany), who all boast 94.

At the pinnacle of the FC 24 Golazo Heroes list is Dimitar Berbatov (ST, Premier League), with a score of 94. SBC reward Saeed Al Owairan (RW, ROSHN Saudi League) feels similarly formidable with 93, as does Spurs and Newcastle favourite David Ginola on 92. All items are included on the full FC 24 Golazo cards list below.

What is the FC 24 Golazo Team 2 release date?

The FC 24 Golazo Team 2 release date was Friday, April 5, and brought another fresh batch of golden oldies. Its Icons list was fronted by Ferenc Puskas (CF, Hungary) with a huge OVR of 96, followed by ballet-toed wonder Kaka (CAM, Brazil) on 94. On the Heroes front, Serie A pair Ivan Cordoba (CB, Colombia) and Gianluca Vialli (ST, Italy) topped the new influx with 93. All of Team 2 has now been added to the full list of players at the foot of this guide. 

What FC 24 Golazo rewards are there?

Scoring goals across all FUT modes during the campaign earned you free packs, but the big reward on offer here was an 89-rated FC 24 Golazo Robin van Persie card. Cool! He boasts 86 Pace, 92 Shooting and 89 Dribbling.
