Raphaël Varane ICON in EA FC 27 reportedly rated above several legendary defenders

Raphaël Varane is reported to have an ICON card rated higher than several historic defenders in EA FC 27 after EA Sports FC unveiled its Class of ’27 ICONs on August 25, 2026. Leaked statistics shared by the well-known leaker FUT Sheriff prompted the comparison between Varane’s ICON and other celebrated defensive ICONs.

EA Sports FC has officially confirmed Varane as part of the Class of ’27 ICONs, while Khel Now’s report notes that the detailed card ratings and attributes circulating online originate from leaks. The outlet cautioned that the leaked figures are not officially verified by EA Sports FC. According to the leak coverage, the Varane ICON card is attributed a 90 rating in the circulated data.

A post by leaker FUT Sheriff listed the defenders Varane’s ICON is reportedly rated above, naming Alessandro Nesta, Fabio Cannavaro, Bobby Moore, Rio Ferdinand, Giorgio Chiellini and Carles Puyol. The same post included an image accompanying the claim. Khel Now published those leaked ratings and reiterated that they remain unofficial.

Khel Now’s article restated that if the leaked ratings prove accurate, Varane’s 90-rated ICON would be placed higher than the listed legendary defenders. The report also explained that the published detailed stats and attribute breakdowns currently available are derived from those leaks rather than from EA Sports FC. The outlet reproduced the leaked comparisons while cautioning readers about their unconfirmed status.

The Class of ’27 ICONs will also be made available on EA Sports FC Mobile, Khel Now reported. Players will be able to unlock the new male ICONs on mobile by completing special PvE challenges, according to the article. The story did not attribute further specifics about the mobile rollout beyond that unlocking method.

EA FC 27 launches worldwide on September 25, 2026, for PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch, Nintendo Switch 2, and PC.
