Eric Cantona FIFA 21 ICON rating confirmed and moments explained EA SPORTSEA SPORTS have finally revealed the player rating for Eric Cantona\u2019s ICON card in FIFA 21, along with an explanation of the moments picked for his selection. The former Manchester United striker enjoyed a career of success that many players could only wish for. An icon of the Premier League, no doubt about it. On September 17, EA SPORTS partnered with the Coyle-Larner Brothers to release information about the Frenchman\u2019s long-awaited induction as a FUT 21 ICON. The brothers are best known for their works in the music and film industries, and many would even claim Cantona himself was a true artist on the pitch. The one thing players have been wondering since Cantona was unveiled as an ICON, however, was where will he rank against the others? Now, they\u2019ve got their answer. FIFA 21 Cantona ICON rating and moments As seen in the image below, the striker will be a 93 OVR in FIFA 21, which puts him right up there with the very best. Regular FUT players will notice the absence of three ratings, however, which usually represent the base, mid, and prime versions. These are often inspired by different moments of their careers, and that\u2019s exactly the same for Eric. Those wondering which moments were selected have their answer, courtesy of EA SPORTS. The following information was taken from an official press release\u2026 EARLY Moment \u2013 88 OVR (1988-91) Eric Cantona signed for his boyhood club Marseille at the age of 22 for a French record fee at the time, the same year he won the UEFA European Under-21 Championship. He then spent 18 months on loan at Bordeaux and Montpellier respectively, winning the 1989\u201390 Coupe de France with Montpellier in which he played a crucial role by scoring a hat-trick en-route to the final. He subsequently returned to Marseille where he won the 1990\u201391 French Division 1 in what was his final season for the club. – PRIME Moment \u2013 93 OVR (1993-94) After consecutive league titles in England, first with Leeds and then with Manchester United, the best was still to come for Eric Cantona. In 1993-94 he recorded his highest seasonal goal tally with 25 goals in all competitions. His goals proved vital as Manchester United won the Premier League and FA Cup, earning Cantona multiple PFA awards. That season saw him score some of the league\u2019s greatest ever goals, cementing him as one of the most well-rounded goal scorers the league has ever seen – LATE Moment \u2013 90 OVR (1995-97) Eric Cantona continued to make history in 1995-96 as he became the first non-British FA Cup winning captain after scoring the late winner against Liverpool with a trademark volley. His 14 league goals also helped his side secure further silverware as United won the Premier League. 1996-97 saw Cantona win his 5th English league title and finish as the league\u2019s top assist provider, a credit to his outstanding overall game. He retired in 1997 at the age of 30 as a champion at the top of his game. – First look at Cantona\u2019s ICON cards Quickly after the news broke online, YouTubers flooded our timelines with images \u2013 including all three Cantona forms. As seen below, from Bateson, the cards look like this: Cantona on his FUT 21 ICON card The man himself has even spoken about his induction into the game\u2019s hall of fame system. \u201cI am delighted to be inducted as a FUT 21 ICON,\u201d he said. \u201cThere are some great players who are in this exclusive club, so it is an honour to join them in EA SPORTS FIFA 21. \u201cEngland is a special place for me, as some of the best years of my career were spent there, so it was heart-warming to work with Ben to get a small glimpse of the impact that I had amongst football fans in the country.
