FUT Captains Heroes that will receive an upgrade

• Joe Cole
  • It may have been a surprise for some to see Joe Cole line up as West Ham's captain away to Middlesbrough in December 2002 at the tender age of 21, but he certainly rose to the task. Cole made it an even more memorable occasion by opening the scoring early in the second halt. After driving the ball past the defender, he hit a superb, angled shot into the bottom corner of the goal to send the traveling Hammers fans into raptures. The following month, he was officially named club captain.

• Robbie Keane
  • Robbie Keane wrote his name into the history books when he completed a hattrick with the final goal scored at Lansdowne Road before its redevelopment. Looking for the first win of their UEFA Euro 2008 qualifying campaign, Republic of Ireland, led by Keane as captain, hosted San Marino. Keane showed great composure to control and slide home his first, before adding a penalty and then completing his treble in a typically clinical fashion from close range five minutes from time.

• Iván Córdoba
  • Iván Córdoba enjoyed international success when he captained Colombia to Copa América glory in 2001. As the host nation, Córdoba led his team to the final without conceding a goal. The final was a closely contested match and it was Córdoba who settled the tie in the 65th minute when he leaped highest to glance a header into the far post from a free-kick. The goal secured a first Copa América title for the hosts and sparked wild scenes of celebration at the final whistle.

• Antonio Di Natale
  • Having established himself as a fan favorite at Udinese, Antonio Di Natale was named club captain of the Bianconeri ahead of the 2007-08 season. Di Natale took it upon himself to lead by example on matchday 4 of the season when he scored 2 exceptional goals against Reggina. The first came in the form of an audacious chip from a very tight angle, which many would not have attempted. He later grabbed his second by delightfully controlling a lobbed pass and volleying the ball home.

• Abedi Pelé
  • Qualifying for their first African Cup of Nations since 1984, Abedi Pelé was named captain of the Ghana national team ahead of the 1992 tournament as they targeted a fifth title. Pelé's influence was pivotal as they progressed to the semi-final. Despite Nigeria taking the lead, he would score the equalizer just before halftime with an expertly placed header and then provided a corner that led to the winner. Despite coming up short in the final, Pelé was named player of the tournament
