Where does this information about Cruyff and Zidane in Team 3 come from?

The names are circulating in community discussions without any clearly identified source. No verified data mining, no recognized leaker, no screenshot or insider tweet currently backs them up. They should be treated as plausible leads rather than confirmed information.

What's the difference between Icon versions and active player cards for FUTTIES?

Icons and Heroes reportedly have a locked, non-modifiable playstyle. Active player cards like Olise's, on the other hand, would be fully customizable in terms of playstyles, offering more build flexibility.

When exactly will Team 3 launch?

The launch is set for Friday, August 7th at 5 PM UTC, when Team 3 will replace Team 2 in packs. EA Sports' official announcement should drop very shortly before that.

Why is EA Sports staying silent about this Team 3?

According to sources, this wave's content is particularly locked down compared to previous weeks, which explains the lack of official communication and leaves the door open to rumors.

FUTTIES Team 3 FC 26: Zidane and Cruyff leaked, caution advised

Even before EA Sports' official announcement, names are reportedly already circulating for Team 3 of the FUTTIES on FC 26. Three cards are said to be coming up in community discussions: Michael Olise, Johann Cruyff and Zinedine Zidane.

According to this unconfirmed information, Cruyff and Zidane would arrive as special Icon versions, with a fixed playstyle as is always the case for this type of card. Olise, meanwhile, would be among the active players benefiting from the FUTTIES treatment, which would mean a fully customisable card in terms of playstyles, unlike the locked Icons and Heroes.

A leak to take with a grain of salt

No precise source has been identified for these three names. The article relaying them presents them itself as rumours, without citing any recognised leaker or verified datamining from the game's files. No deleted post, no screenshot, no insider tweet cited as evidence.

On EA Sports' side, it's radio silence. The publisher hasn't communicated any list for this third week and has, according to the source, kept the content of this wave particularly locked down compared to previous weeks. This silence leaves the door open to rumours, but doesn't validate them in any way.

Since the FUTTIES calendar has been well-established for years, the official announcement should drop very shortly before the launch of Team 3, as covered in our dedicated article. Until then, it's best to consider these three names as plausible leads rather than a confirmed list.
