EA FC 26 Base Icon Matchday Pick SBC: Review

The available players (Image via EA Sports)

The overall expected cost of the EA FC 26 Base Icon Matchday Pick SBC is around 550,000 coins. While this is certainly not a cheap player pick to obtain, both the Icons on offer are worth over 800,000 coins in the transfer market. They have elite-tier stats and PlayStyles, with Carlos Alberto being the more versatile choice due to his additional CB position. This makes the SBC worth completing.
