What is Hall of Fame rarity and all expected players


As we celebrate the FIFA World Cup 2026 with the ongoing Greats of the Game promo in EA FC 26 Ultimate Team, rumors are surfacing about the upcoming EA FC 27. Every year brings fresh excitement for Ultimate Team fans who are eager to see how their favorite football simulation will evolve. The latest leaks suggest a new Hall of Fame rarity would debut to bring some nostalgia from the sport and the video game’s history.


What are the EA FC 27 Hall of Fame players?

The latest EA FC 27 leaks tease that a completely new card rarity called the Hall of Fame will be introduced in the next instalment. This new tier would be in the same category as the Icons and Heroes, card items to honor retired players who once graced the sport with their footballing ability. This new special third level of legendary items is specifically designed to celebrate cult heroes and massive fan favorites.

Instead of just focusing on the absolute greatest players of all time, this new rarity would target footballers who might not have illustrious careers like Icons and Heroes, but are as popular in the EA FC community. You can expect to see classic FIFA legends who brought pure joy and overpowered stats to your past Ultimate Team or were fan-favorites in Career Modes for high-potential. It is the perfect way to honor such players who left a lasting mark on the football video game culture.

You are probably wondering which nostalgic ballers are making a grand return to the digital pitch this year. The leaked roster features an incredible lineup of familiar names equipped with heavily boosted overall ratings. Here is the complete list of leaked players expected to receive this brand new rarity.

Taking a closer look at the list reveals some absolutely iconic names that will instantly trigger your best gaming memories. Seeing Alexandre Pato and Hulk back with high ratings will remind you of the golden days of Brazilian pace and raw power. Mario Balotelli and Adel Taarabt are also guaranteed to bring incredible flair and unpredictability to your attacking lineup.

Adding to the excitement is the return of true cult classics that offer completely unique play styles on the pitch. Having Adebayo Akinfenwa back means you can once again physically dominate defenders inside the penalty box. Meanwhile, a premium Michael Carrick and Marouane Fellaini would definetly help build an interesting Manchester United Past & Present squad in EA FC 27.

You are advised to take this leak with a grain of salt, as these players are apparently still being tested for the new rarity. So, they might not even be there in the final version of the game. Nevertheless, it would be interesting to see if any other cult classic footballer would be there. As a Barcelona fan, I would like to see a Hall of Fame card for Bojan Krkić in EA FC 27 Ultimate Team.
