The Base Icon Matchday Pick SBC is back in FC 26 Ultimate Team, giving players another shot at some all-time greats Michael Essien, Nemanja Vidić, and Gianluca Zambrotta. This time, EA has made it a grind, requiring six squads to complete, making it one of the more expensive SBCs released recently.

The SBC comes in at around 370,000 coins, making it quite an investment. However, with Zambrotta’s five-star weak foot and elite versatility, and Vidić’s dominant defending still holding up in the current meta, there’s solid value for those looking to strengthen their defense with reliable icons.
While the cost may seem steep, this Base Icon Matchday Pick delivers three top-tier options that can easily slot into most squads. If you’ve got untradeable fodder stacked up or you’re looking to bring some legendary chemistry to your lineup, this SBC could be worth completing — especially for Zambrotta or Vidić fans.
