EA Just Released Diego Maradona's FIFA 18 And It's Ridiculous

Diego Maradona's FIFA 18 FUT Icon card has been revealed and it's safe to say that the legendary Argentine is going to be a joy to play with in the upcoming game.

'El Diego' has been drafted in as part of the Ultimate Team 'Icons' - with the original Ronaldo, Lev Yashin, Thierry Henry and Pele the satar-studded names announced so far.

And now EA Sports have followed up on revealing the cards and ratings for Ronaldo and Yashin by doing the same for Maradona, who will also appear in PES 2018 having signed up as an official ambassador.

The World Cup winner, who tore it up for the likes of Argentinos Juniors, Boca Juniors, Barcelona, Napoli and Sevilla in his decorated playing career, is rated higher than both Ronaldo and Yashin, as a 95-rated CAM and boasts sublime statistics such as 95 dribbling, 91 shooting, 90 passing and 88 pace.

Here's how FIFA fans reacted to the sight of Maradona's beauty of a card:

Maradona has been away from the FIFA franchise for a fair few years now, but he's making a return in stunning fashion as an 'Icon' - which is replacing the 'Legends' that were available to those playing on Xbox.

Will Maradona be the highest-rated player on the game? What ratings should both Henry and pele receive?

Sound off in the comments.
