Verdict: Is the Base Icon Matchday Pick SBC Worth It

This SBC is expensive, but it removes all risk. Both Dalglish and Garrincha are elite attackers, usable even in late game squads.

• Dalglish offers elite finishing, positioning and weak foot reliability
• Garrincha provides top tier dribbling, pace and creativity

If you have fodder saved and want a safe Icon upgrade, this SBC is absolutely worth completing.
If you are low on coins or building toward future promos, skipping might be smarter.

Overall verdict: High value but high cost SBC
