There are only a few weeks till the highly anticipated EA Sports FC 24 hits stores. Meanwhile, the creators are doing everything they can to make FIFA 23 engaging for fans by adding new in-game items and challenges. As a result, Alessandro Del Piero Cover Star Icon is now available in FIFA 23 Ultimate Team.
Electronic Arts released many exciting FUT cards since introducing the Ultimate team mode in the FIFA games. But among those various exciting cards, the Icon series is one of the most favorite ones. It is a unique in-game item that celebrates the glorious careers of various soccer legends.
Alessandro Del Piero is one of the best forward players in history because of his creative plays and ability to find the back of the net. So, EA Sports honored his legacy by adding him to the Icons with several high-rated cards. Recently he received a Cover Star Icon edition for his appearance on the FIFA 2004 cover alongside Thierry Henry and Ronaldinho.
About the FIFA 23 Alessandro Del Piero Cover Star Icon
EA Sports released three high-rated cards for the Juventus legend while including him among the Icons. But they later honored him with two Trophy Titans Icons, one of which was his best card in the game until the developers released the Cover Star Icon edition. This new 98-rated FUT card has some of the most impressive stats.
- Pace – 96
- Shooting – 98
- Passing – 93
- Dribbling – 99
- Defending – 50
- Physicality – 80
Being hailed as one of the best forwards, Del Piero’s Cover Star Icon card has 99 Dribbling with 90+ Pace, Shooting, and Passing stats. This card is not meant for defending but has decent Physicality to clash against the opposition’s defenders. Additionally, this new card gives him 5 Star Skills and a 5 Star Weak Foot.
The Italian legend’s new Icon card lets him play as a Center Forward (CF) like in real life. But fans can convert him to other offensive positions like Center Attacking Midfielder (CAM) and Striker (ST) for better suiting the formation and strategy.
