EA FC 26 continues its run of Icon content with the new Base Icon Matchday Pick SBC.

It is one of the more expensive SBCs in the Icon category, but the guaranteed selection makes it far more reliable than the earlier Base Icon drops. Below is the full cost analysis and the cheapest way to complete every required squad.

Is the Base Icon Matchday Pick SBC Worth Completing
This SBC is priced close to half a million coins, which is a significant investment. However, all three Icons are strong options in the current meta.
Drogba
Elite physical striker with powerful finishing inside the box.
Raul
A complete forward with perfect movement and linking play.
Cannavaro
A rock solid central defender with elite defensive animations.
There is no weak pull from this pick which makes this SBC more appealing than most Icon challenges released earlier in the cycle.
