In this feature, we run down 10 of the greats included on the Ultimate Team section on the Xbox One and Xbox 360.
As ever, while there will be some debates about which of the game’s great names are included, their ratings and rankings will also receive some scrutiny.
Comment below and let us know which of these icons you’re most excited to play with, and whether you think the ratings included reflect these fine players’ abilities.
Here are the Fifa 16 Legends Ratings:
Alexi Lalas, USA
One of the United States’ first truly accomplished players, who made a career for himself in Europe and has gone on to enjoy success as a football pundit.
Landon Donovan, USA
Eclipsed David Beckham at LA Galaxy, but never truly made the grade in Europe.
Vitor Baia, Portugal
His decline may have been marked, but Baia was influential as FC Porto won the Champions League in 2004.
Jari Litmanen, Finland
A magnificent playmaker, who perhaps never got the recognition he deserved in one of Europe’s truly major leagues. He represented Liverpool with distinction for 18 months, winning five honours, but was a Champions League winner and a five-time Dutch champion with Ajax.
Gennaro Gattuso, Italy
A tenacious midfielder who won the Champions League with Milan and the World Cup with Italy.
Deco, Portugal
Enjoyed some of his best days in Portugal, but also enjoyed a stint in the Premier League with Chelsea, winning the title in 2010.
Alessandro Nesta, Italy
One of the classiest defenders of his generation, and a World Cup winner in 2006.
Javier Zanetti, Argentina
A stalwart at Inter Milan, where he won a succession of major honours.
Ryan Giggs, Wales
One of the greatest players in the history of the Premier League.
George Best, Northern Ireland
The Manchester United great—who won the European Cup in the late 60s—is included.
