Icons & Heroes – The Headline Stars of Team 2
Thierry Henry – 93 ST / 89 LW
The legendary Frenchman headlines Team 2 with a staggering 93-rated striker item, featuring official stats of 94 pace, 92 shooting, and 91 dribbling. This version is the ultimate clinical finisher, utilizing his height and explosive speed to tear through defensive lines while maintaining the composure to finish from any angle.
The 89-rated LW version shifts Henry back to his early-career roots on the flank, emphasizing agility and crossing. While slightly lower in overall rating, this version offers a more traditional winger feel with elite ball carrying and the ability to cut inside to create chaos. Both versions of the Arsenal icon provide a premium feel that instantly elevates any attacking frontline.
Zico – 92 CAM / 87 CAM
Zico returns as a creative juggernaut, with his 92-rated CAM item boasting 90 pace, 93 shooting, and 92 passing. This headline version dominates the final third, delivering pinpoint through balls and devastating finesse shots that punish deep defensive blocks.
The 87-rated version serves as a more accessible but still highly effective playmaker, retaining his signature flair and 5-star skill moves. With official stats backing both cards, Zico remains a midfield magician regardless of which version you pack.
Aya Miyama – 91 LM / 87 LM
Aya Miyama enters the promo as a technical specialist, with her 91-rated LM featuring 87 pace, 91 dribbling, and 89 passing. Her tight ball control, elite vision, and set-piece mastery make her a high-IQ option for possession-focused systems.
The 87-rated variant offers a similar profile with slightly more balanced physical attributes, making her ideal for hybrid squads. As an Icon with double PlayStyle+ potential, Miyama’s cards are official game-changers for players who value precision over raw power.
Lothar Matthäus – 91 CM
Matthäus receives a 91-rated CM item that perfectly defines the box-to-box archetype, supported by official stats of 89 pace, 88 shooting, and 91 defending. He dominates midfield duels while still providing a serious threat from long range.
Although he doesn’t feature a second positional variant in this drop, his all-round stat distribution allows him to excel as a CM, CDM, or even an attacking midfielder. Matthäus remains one of the most reliable and competitive Icons in the game.
Sonia Bompastor – 88 LB
The 88-rated Hero Bompastor thrives in transition, featuring 90 pace and 88 passing. She fits perfectly into the modern attacking full-back role, offering overlapping runs and consistent delivery into the box.
Defensively, her 84 defending ensures she can handle fast wingers without becoming a liability. Combined with Hero chemistry links, Bompastor is one of the most practical and valuable defensive additions in Winter Wildcards Team 2.
