Chelsea fans over the moon with Drogba and Essien being unveiled as FIFA 20 icons
CHELSEA fans are over the moon with club legends Didier Drogba and Michael Essien being unveiled as Fifa 20 Icons.
Their inclusion means gamers can play as them in Fifa Ultimate Team mode.
According to leaked images, Essien has been given a rating of 90 while Drogba comes out on top slightly at 91.
Zinedine Zidane, Pep Guardiola and Andrea Pirlo are just some of the other big names in the game.
But it is the two Stamford Bridge heroes that Blues fans are most excited about.
One said: "I didn't want to spend my time on Fifa Ultimate Team ever again. But EA just announced that Drogba gets a legend icon in FIFA 20."
Another wrote: "Drogba being on FIFA 20 means I'm going to spend a lot of money on Ultimate Team."
One comment read: "I don't want to buy FIFA but if I can have Drogba on my team once again I have to get FIFA!"
A fellow fan posted: "Essien, Drogba, wow. Waiting for Cech and Terry. And my life will be completed."
Another said: "Drogba and Essien can someone say that I am not dreaming."
One Blues fan posted: "Drogba and Essien on FIFA 20 legends squad. This is gonna be lit."
Ivory Coast striker Drogba, 41, who retired last November, won four Premier League titles with Chelsea as well as the 2012 Champions League and three FA Cups.
Ghanaian midfielder Essien, 36, still plays for Sabail in the Azerbaijan Premier League.
