FIFA 22 Heroes are a new item type in EA's iconic football sim. Somewhere between Team of the Week cards and relatively expensive FIFA 22 ICONs, Heroes are items that could prove extremely useful when helping you put together your dream Ultimate Team.

Heroes are ex-players celebrated for a particular historic moment, like special goals or passages of play. While they're not attached to a single club, their chemistry is related to a singular league on top of the usual nation links. There is also only one version of each card with FIFA 22 ratings that vary above 85. So with that in mind, here are all the confirmed FIFA 22 Heroes to look out for.

UK — After collecting and devouring piles of print gaming guides in his younger days, Harry has been creating 21st century versions for the past five years as Guides Writer at PCGamesN and Guides Editor at PC Gamer. He has also produced features, reviews, and even more guides for Trusted Reviews, TechRadar and Top Ten Reviews. He's been playing and picking apart PC games for over two decades, from hazy memories of what was probably a Snake knock-off on his first rig when he was seven to producing informative guides on football simulators, open-world role-playing games, and shooters today. So many by now he steadfastly refuses to convey information unless it’s in clickable online form.

A screenshot of the WikiTok project floats in a pink-blue gradient void. The highlighted article is about Echinoderma, and the summary reads as follows: "Echinoderma is a genus of fungi in the family Agaricaceae. Its members were for a long time considered to belong to genus Lepiota and the group was then circumscribed by French mycologist Marcel Bon in 1981 as a subgenus of Cystolepiota before he raised it to generic status in 1991." The words 'Read more' appear below. The background image behind all of this text is of small capped brown and white mushrooms, presumably the Echinoderma in question.
