EA FC 26 Base Icon Matchday Pick SBC: Review

The available players (Image via EA Sports)

The overall expected cost of the SBC is around 280,000 coins. This is a reasonable price for any of the three Icons on offer, as they are all usable in their respective roles due to their stats and PlayStyles. While Beckham offers the best goal-scoring threat, Lahm is the most versatile, and Schmeichel provides excellent longevity and chemistry as an Icon goalkeeper.
