FIFA 21: 10 Football Legends Who Must Be Icons
2. Franz Beckenbauer
Rarely has a player been so influential during their career that an entire position is considered synonymous with them, but this is undoubtedly the case when it comes to Franz Beckenbauer.
Beckenbauer innovated the sweeper position during his hugely successful playing career that saw him capture both the European Cup and the World Cup as a player, before enjoying similar success as a coach in his native Germany.
If anything it is surprising that the Bayern Munich legend hasn't already been immortalised with an Icon card. After all, Beckenbauer had previously featured as a legend in previous iterations of the series, appearing in FIFA 15, FIFA 16, and FIFA 17.
The World Cup winner's skill and versatility would make him a perfect addition to FIFA 21's list of Icon cards, and he would no doubt be a regular fixture in many a backline on FUT.
