Goal has asked some of the best FIFA 19 esport players in the world what Icons they would like to see in Ultimate Team.
With Team of the Year, Rising Stars, Flashbacks and FUT Champs rewards there has never been a better variety of Ultimate Team than in FIFA 19 but sometimes you can't beat a classic Icon.
FIFA 19 features 70 different Icons, all of whom have three separate cards and are each receiving a new upgraded card too thanks to the new Icon Moments. However, there are always going to be some players missing from the line-up.
With that in mind, Goal talked to some of the best pro players from around the world to find out what Icons they believe deserve a place in FIFA.
1Manchester City Shellzz – Zinedine Zidane
First up is Manchester City's esports star Shaun 'Shellzz' Springette and the Englishman has gone for the obvious option in Zinedine Zidane. While now a very accomplished coach, Zidane was one of the best players of his generation despite narrowly missing out on a World Cup trophy in his last ever professional match, which featured his iconic headbutt moment.
Shellz believes Zidane should be a 95 rated CAM with 83 pace, 88 shooting, 91 passing, 93 dribbling, 79 defending and 83 physicality. The Man City man wants to complete a legendary midfield trifecta by linking Zidane with Patrick Vieira and Ruud Gullit – imagine how strong that trio would be!

Hashtag United's Alex 'Shawrey' Shaw has chosen his mum's favourite player, David Beckham. Perfect for anyone needing a guaranteed goal from a free-kick.
Shawrey reckons Beckham would be 92 rated with 82 pace, 93 dribbling, 91 shooting, 95 passing, 68 defending and 78 physicality. On top of the obvious 99 crossing, the Hashtag man says Beckham has to have 99 free-kicks too for that iconic moment against Greece to secure England's qualification for the 2002 World Cup.
3Marcuzo – George Weah
North's Marcus 'Marcuzo' Jorgensen has opted for a player who used to be an Icon in previous FIFA games – George Weah. The Liberian player had a majestical career, winning the Serie A three times as well as lifting the Ligue 1 and FA Cup trophies too.
However, Marcuzo remembers Weah for amazing FUT cards in old games and desperately wants to see the forward return. The North player would give Weah and overall of 93 with 95 pace, 94 shooting, 70 passing, 89 dribbling, 29 defending and 84 physicality – a striker card fit for anyone's team.
4Ajax Dani – Daniel da Cruz Carvalho
Moving across Europe to the Netherlands, Ajax's FIFA player Dani Hagebeuk has chosen a legend from the club he represents with Daniel da Cruz Carvalho, aka Dani. The former Portugal international is a performer that Hagebeuk remembers well: "He was a great player when he played at Ajax. Dani scored fantastic goals which lead us to the semi-final of the Champions Leaguein 1997. He was that good that my parents named me after him!"
Dani would give his namesake an overall of 90 with 84 pace, 89 shooting, 85 passing, 92 dribbling, 40 defending and 68 physicality – all the attributes you would want in a CAM.
