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

There are eight new FC 24 Base Icons. Combine them together with all the new FC 24 Heroes, such as John Arne Riise and Alex Scott, and it means more than 20 past greats being added to this year's game. Below are all the Base Icon newcomers, along with their secondary positions.

Three members of the FIFA 23 Base Icons list no longer hold that status in FC 24. Jari Litmanen and Rui Costa have been downgraded to Heroes items, while Italian striker Christian Vieri is gone from the game completely.

I'm GamesRadar's freelance sports editor, and obsessed with NFL, WWE, MLB, AEW, and occasionally things that don't have a three-letter acronym – such as Chvrches, Bill Bryson, and Streets Of Rage 4. (All the Streets Of Rage games, actually.) Even after three decades I still have a soft spot for Euro Boss on the Amstrad CPC 464+.
