With Icons being as overpowered as they are on the virtual pitch, fans are always looking to add one of these elite-tier items to their squads. This makes SBCs like this extremely enticing and popular.

There was significant hype surrounding the Max 87 Icon Upgrade SBC's first release in EA FC 24 Ultimate Team. And with the Hero Upgrade being re-launched, it comes as no surprise that the Icon pack is available once again as well.

The Max 87 Icon Upgrade has returned to EA FC 24 Ultimate Team

The Icon roster has gone through several changes over the years. With Legends being rebranded as Icons in FIFA 18, retired athletes were provided with three base versions each to represent various stages in their careers.

However, this game's rating system has reverted back to the Legend days, with each footballer having only one base version in EA FC 24. Icons with a maximum rating of 87 are now available in the re-released Max 87 Icon Upgrade SBC.

With this challenge being a re-launch, its requirements have been lowered to reflect the price of fodder in the transfer market. This makes the SBC much more accessible and easy to grind towards.
