Purple Hero items introduced to FIFA 15 Ultimate Team

Purple Hero items have been introduced to FIFA 15 Ultimate Team, representing individual honours and special moments for players.

These include:

Award Hero

These honour individual league awards, including Player of the Year and Young Player of the Year.

Club Hero

These honour a player’s heroic contribution during an important match such as a league derby, winning promotion to a higher league, or saving his club from relegation.

The first batch of Hero players will be available until Monday, May 11 at 6pm. However, future Hero players will be available for only 24 hours. EA says that “like Team of the Week or Man of the Match items, a player’s hero item will be rated higher than his previous in-form but below his potential Team of the Season and/or Team of the Year in-form”.
