Defining Legacies Icons Teased in FC Mobile - Launching This Thursday

EA SPORTS FC Mobile has officially teased the next batch of Icon cards set to feature in a brand-new event called Defining Legacies, which will kick off this Thursday (UTC) in-game. While full details are yet to be revealed, the early teasers have sparked significant interest within the community.

A Side Event to Complement Aqua vs Inferno

The Defining Legacies event is not expected to be a full-scale, marquee event. There was no official livestream hosted by EA this week, which typically indicates a shorter or side event. This also aligns with the ongoing Aqua vs Inferno event, which is currently in progress and is set to enter its fourth and final week this Thursday.

So, while Aqua vs Inferno wraps up its storyline and final rewards, Defining Legacies will likely serve as a limited-time opportunity to grab high-profile Icons with a fresh card design.

What Was Teased?

In their latest social post, EA revealed a teaser graphic that includes

  • The card art for Defining Legacies (a unique new Icon design)
  • Three new Icons
  • Details including their OVR, nationality, and position

Here’s what we know

109 OVR ST from Italy (Icon)

109 OVR CDM from Italy (Icon)

109 OVR LB from England (Icon)

Though the actual player names and stats haven't been shown yet, fans are already piecing together possibilities. Based on the clues, strong community guesses include

ST Italy – Alessandro Del Piero or Baggio

CDM Italy – Gattuso or Pirlo

LB England – Ashley Cole 

These players are all legends of their era, and seeing them return with fresh versions could bring exciting new options to users looking to upgrade their squads for both Division Rivals and Challenge modes.

What We Know About the Event Format

The maximum OVR for this event appears to be capped at 109, making it a continuation of the current OVR power curve.

The teased cards are likely to appear in event-based exchanges, milestone rewards, or special offers.

Since there’s no livestream and Aqua vs Inferno is still running, this event is expected to be grind-friendly or light-content focused.

We’ll likely get full information with the in-game event gallery update this Thursday (UTC reset), which will reveal player stats, shard/token requirements, and how these Icons can be earned—whether F2P-friendly or locked behind exchanges or passes.

Conclusion

The Defining Legacies event brings a new set of Icons into the spotlight with eye-catching card art and competitive OVRs. While not a full-scale event, it adds variety and depth to the game in its final weeks before a major seasonal refresh or new campaign. Fans are already speculating on who these legendary players could be—and with official reveals just around the corner, excitement is building fast.

Stay tuned for full details when the event goes live this Thursday (UTC) in-game.
