Retro Stars New ICONs
The Retro Stars event in EA SPORTS FC Mobile continues to keep players engaged with its exciting lineup of icons, heroes, and rewards. Launched a few weeks ago, this event has introduced a nostalgic experience by bringing back legendary players, amazing rewards, and engaging gameplay through various chapters. Now, as we enter the third week of this four-week-long event, EA SPORTS FC Mobile has revealed a brand-new set of icons and heroes for players to chase after.
Retro Stars Event Overview
The Retro Stars event offers players the chance to relive the greatness of past football icons and heroes. The event is structured into multiple chapters, each featuring skill games and matches that allow players to earn resources and player items. A key highlight of this event is the Retro Rewards Chapter, where players can claim fantastic rewards by completing weekly milestones.
For the first two weeks, players have been able to complete tasks and claim rewards, including valuable players and resources. With each week introducing new content, the event has remained exciting and highly rewarding for the community. Now, the focus shifts to the third week, where even more exciting content is set to be unveiled.
Week 3 Icons Revealed
As the Retro Stars event progresses, EA SPORTS FC Mobile continues to reveal new icons and heroes each week. For the third week, they have officially announced the following legends, as revealed on their social media platforms like Twitter, Instagram, and WhatsApp groups
- 101 OVR Andrea Pirlo
- 101 OVR Eric Cantona
- 101 OVR Nemanja Vidić
- 100 OVR Xavi Hernandez
- 100 OVR Hugo Sánchez
These newly revealed icons are a perfect blend of legendary midfielders, forwards, and defenders. Each of these players has left an indelible mark on football history, and their presence in the game is sure to excite fans. Let’s take a closer look at what makes these icons stand out
- Andrea Pirlo (101 OVR): Known as a maestro in the midfield, Pirlo’s passing ability, vision, and control make him one of the best playmakers in football. This card will be perfect for players who enjoy controlling the pace of the game from deep midfield positions.
- Eric Cantona (101 OVR): Cantona was a charismatic and aggressive forward, combining skill with brute strength. His 101 OVR card will be a beast in the final third, offering both goals and assists to help any squad.
- Nemanja Vidić (101 OVR): As one of the toughest and most reliable defenders of his generation, Vidić brings defensive solidity and leadership. His 101 OVR card is expected to dominate the defense with his excellent positioning and tackling.
- Xavi Hernandez (100 OVR): A key figure in Barcelona’s tiki-taka football, Xavi’s card offers incredible ball control, passing precision, and the ability to dictate the flow of the game. His 100 OVR card will be perfect for creative playmakers.
- Hugo Sánchez (100 OVR): The legendary Mexican forward was known for his acrobatic goals and clinical finishing. His 100 OVR card will add significant firepower up front, perfect for players looking for a prolific striker.
Icon Availability – Only Through Store Packs and Exchanges
One key aspect of these newly revealed icons is that they are not available through event grinding. Unlike previous Retro Stars content, these new icons can only be acquired via store packs and exchange programs. This makes these icons rare and highly sought-after, but it also limits access to players who are willing to invest in store packs or have enough resources to engage in exchanges.
Fans were hoping for a more accessible path to obtaining these icons through gameplay, but EA has opted to keep these cards behind a more exclusive path this time around.
How the Event Works
The Retro Stars event is divided into multiple chapters that players must complete by participating in skill games and matches. These challenges offer various rewards, including player items, resources, and exclusive icons and heroes. Players can also collect Retro Points, which can be used to claim Retro Rewards.
In addition to regular rewards, the Retro Rewards Chapter offers fantastic rewards, with each week unlocking new content and milestones for players to complete. As of this Thursday, players will be able to claim their third-week rewards, adding to the excitement.
What to Expect Going Forward
The Retro Stars event is a four-week-long event, and with the reveal of week three’s icons, there is still more to come in the final week. Players can look forward to even more exciting reveals as EA SPORTS FC Mobile continues to expand its offering of icons and heroes.
For now, players should focus on completing the third-week milestones, unlocking available rewards, and planning for the next batch of content. The addition of icons like Pirlo, Cantona, and Vidić promises to add variety and strength to squads across the game, making the Retro Stars event one of the most exciting events in FC Mobile.
