Summary

EA is currently testing a new Set of player types for FC 27
The new Hall of Fame Players could potentially arrive as an entirely new card type or replace the existing Heroes in EAFC's next iteration

With the month of July approaching, we are already into the final months of FC 26. While players are waiting for EA to drop the first teaser of FC 27, we have had multiple leaks from the franchise's latest iteration during its closed beta and playtesting phases.

Besides the arrival of FC the Grounds mode and the revival of Alex Hunter's Journey, the developers are also bringing back former players from the footballing folklore, under a new banner, Hall Of Fame.

FC 27 Hall of Fame Revives the Legacy of Football’s Unsung Heroes

The "Hall of Fame," as it sounds, features players who lit up the streets during their time with their skills and flair. While Icons and Heroes consist of some of the greatest names ever to play the game, the EA FC Hall of Fame comes as the third category, or could potentially replace Heroes, unconfirmed as of now.

The new FC 27 Hall of Fame brings back epic nostalgia as some of the older players can relive their childhood. Gamers can play with their local heroes from their favourite clubs, who may not have had a trophy-laden career, but were fan-favourites back then, as hidden gems either in Ultimate Team or Career Mode.

Popular Community Creators like @FutSheriff, @AsyFutTrader and others have started sharing leaks of the possible players being tested ahead of EA's new Hall Of Fame player type. Additionally, EA is also testing a new batch of five Icons as well, check our coverage of FC 27 New Icons Leaks here.
