In January 2019, EA agreed to stop selling FIFA points in Belgium, following government pressure. FUT was surrounded by controversy due to it being classified as a loot box and a source of online gambling. Ultimate Team sees the addition of a co-op gameplay feature in the form of Division Rivals, Squad Battles and Friendlies with a friend online to unlock objectives and rewards. Jens Lehmann was not featured as an icon in FUT 21 compared to previous games. Ultimate Team features 100 icon players, including 11 new names: Eric Cantona, Petr Čech, Ashley Cole, Samuel Eto'o, Philipp Lahm, Ferenc Puskás, Bastian Schweinsteiger, Davor Šuker, Fernando Torres, Nemanja Vidić, and Xavi all feature as icons for the first time.
