The Base Icon Upgrade SBC has officially arrived in EA FC 26, giving players a shot at some of the biggest legends in football. The SBC is repeatable up to 3 times and will remain live for one week.
With no overall rating limit, it means you can potentially pack elite Icons such as Ronaldo Nazário, Johan Cruyff, Maldini, and more. However, the lack of a minimum rating also means you could end up with low-value icons like Crespo, Verón, or Gattuso.
