Players Missing from EA Sports FC 27
🚨 NOT IN FC 27! Players who won’t be in FC 27 due to transfers, free agency or retirement 👀 #FC27 https://t.co/bIQDirojgL
A new leak from Fut_scoreboard, ASY, and WJ indicates that several established players will not appear in EA Sports FC 27 when it launches on September 25th. The list, titled “NOT IN FC 27”, highlights athletes who are absent due to transfers, free agency status, or retirement.
The image shows a collection of player cards, mostly gold, with some silver and a special card for Ciro Immobile. The players listed include Esther (Spain, ST, transferred to FE Saudi), Brozovic (Croatia, CDM, Free Agent), Bennacer (Algeria, CDM, Free Agent), Fred (Brazil, CM, transferred to Atletico Mineiro), Smalling (England, CB, Free Agent), Immobile (Italy, ST, Ended Career), Gabriel Pec (Brazil, RM, transferred to Cruzeiro), Dendoncker (Belgium, CDM, Free Agent), and Boadu (Netherlands, ST, Free Agent).
Ciro Immobile is the most notable absence, with his card indicating a “Ended Career” status. He is depicted on a special purple and blue card, likely a Icon or Legends card, though his rating is obscured. Other players like Brozovic, Bennacer, and Dendoncker are shown as Free Agents, meaning their clubs are not licensed in the game or they have not signed new deals that are reflected in the leak.
Esther, a Spanish striker, is reportedly transferred to FE Saudi, while Fred has moved to Atletico Mineiro. Gabriel Pec is listed as transferred to Cruzeiro. Chris Smalling and Timothy Boadu are also marked as Free Agents.
This leak is significant for FC 27 players, especially those in Ultimate Team, as it confirms the absence of these athletes from the base game. With early access starting on September 18th, fans will soon see which players are included in the final roster. The ratings for these players are currently unknown, marked as “??” on the cards, but their exclusion means they won’t be available for packs or squad building.
The source of this leak is a collaboration between ASY, WJ, and Fut_scoreboard, which are known for providing pre-release information on EA Sports FC titles. While unconfirmed by EA, the details align with recent transfer windows and retirement announcements.
Impact on Ultimate Team
The absence of these players means Ultimate Team players cannot use them in their squads. For collectors, the Immobile card, if it exists as an Icon, will be a rare find or potentially unavailable. The Free Agents might return if they sign with licensed clubs before the final roster lock, but for now, they are excluded.
Fans should keep an eye on the official EA Sports FC 27 roster updates as the release date approaches. The final list will determine which players are available for the upcoming season’s gameplay and Ultimate Team modes.
