Add David Villa as an Icon in EA FC 26/27
I’d like to make a strong case for adding David Villa as an Icon in EA FC — a player whose career and achievements more than qualify him for the status.
David Villa isn’t just another talented striker, he’s one of the most decorated and complete forwards Spain has ever produced. He holds the record as Spain’s all-time top goalscorer, and was absolutely crucial to their Euro 2008 and 2010 World Cup triumphs, two of the biggest milestones in Spanish football history.
At club level, Villa proved himself everywhere he played:
-Valencia: Golden Boot winner, La Liga standout, and arguably one of the most consistent scorers of his generation.
-Barcelona: Key part of the 2010–11 Champions League-winning squad under Pep Guardiola, forming one of the most fluid attacking trios of the modern era.
-Atlético Madrid: Helped them secure their historic 2013–14 La Liga title.
-New York City FC & Melbourne City: Became a global ambassador for the sport, elevating MLS visibility.
Despite this resume, World Cup winner, European champion, club success across multiple leagues, and Spain’s all-time leading scorer- he still doesn’t have an Icon card, while many players with comparable or even lesser achievements do.
