FIFA 23 Trophy Titans adds boosted Icon cards for Zidane, Torres and Toure

Dennis Bergkamp Fifa FIFA 23 (Event) EA SPORTS Zinedine Zidane Alessandro Del Piero Fernando Torres Philipp Lahm Landon Donovan Rio Ferdinand

The FIFA 23 Trophy Titans campaign features a true Ultimate Team rarity: the chance to grind for an Icon card, without spending a single coin. Arsenal favourite Dennis Bergkamp is the elite FIFA 23 player in question, but those with cash to splash are spoilt for choice too. Icons such as Zinedine Zidane and Heroes such as Yaya Toure all receive new cards in this fresh promo, with two teams of former favourites to pick from. How does it work? All is explained in your FIFA 23 Trophy Titans guide.

What are FIFA 23 Trophy Titans?

FIFA 23 Trophy Titans are a clever way of EA making FIFA 23 Icons and FIFA 23 Heroes even stronger. All cards in this new promo are from one of those two sets, but have incredibly OP stats. For instance, Zinedine Zidane’s Prime Icon card is rated 96. However, his Trophy Titans version gets an OVR of 97, with impressive individual numbers such as 96 Passing, 95 Dribbling, and 92 Shooting.

You’ll be forking out a fair amount to get Zidane, mind. As of Wednesday, April 19, the Frenchman’s new item is selling for a cool 5.25 million FIFA 23 coins.

Who is in FIFA 23 Trophy Titans Team 1?

The FIFA 23 Trophy Titans release date of Saturday, April 8 saw 19 fresh cards from the campaign dropped into Ultimate Team. 15 of these are Icons items, while four are Heroes branded. As well as Zidane, highlights include Alessandro Del Piero (CF, Italy, 95) and Roy Keane (CM, Ireland, 93) – both massive upgrades on their FIFA 23 Base Icons cards. Yaya Toure (CDM, Ivory Coast, 90) and Landon Donovan (CF, MLS, 89) are among the Heroes standouts.

Four players from Team 1 get a choice of two cards. Arsenal legend Dennis Bergkamp gets items rated 94 or 93, while former Germany captain Philipp Lahm’s new treats are rated 93 and 92. If you’re a Fernando Torres fan you can choose between cards rated 94 or 86, while Alessandro del Piero scores items boasting 95 and 88 OVRs.

Does this mean FIFA 23 FUT Birthday is over?

Initially, it didn't. Most Ultimate Team promos come to a close as soon as the next one starts – however, this one overlapped with the most recent, meaning there was still a little time remaining on our FIFA 23 FUT Birthday token tracker. Not too long, though.

If you were grinding your way towards Alan Shearer or Rio Ferdinand, then the time to cash in those all-important tokens has now passed. FUT Birthday ended on Friday, April 14 at 6pm UK time.

Is there a FIFA 23 Trophy Titans Team 2 leak?

In a rarity, there was no FIFA 23 Trophy Titans Teams 2 leak, with speculation that the we could instead see a batch of re-released cards from campaigns such as FIFA 23 Future Stars or FIFA 23 Centurions. However, we did indeed get a second batch of powered-up items on Friday, April 14. Again, some players were fortunate enough to get multiple cards, such as former Chelsea skipper (and now captain) Frank Lampard. All of these have now been added to the complete item list below.

How do I get FIFA 23 Trophy Titans Dennis Bergkamp?

Great question. Incredibly, you can grind your way to Bergkamp’s 93-rated card without spending a single penny. These are the tasks you need to tick off to do so:
