EA Sports has released the EA FC 25 Max 87 Base Icon Upgrade SBC in Ultimate Team, allowing gamers to get their hands on an incredible legend of the sport. While its rating cap eliminates some of the highest-rated players in the game, there are still some amazing items up for grabs via this pack, making it one of the most exciting SBCs released in the game so far.

Icons are some of the most overpowered players at this stage of the game cycle. Not only do they perform even better than their stats suggest, they also offer chemistry perks that make squad building much easier in Ultimate Team. This makes the EA FC 25 Max 87 Base Icon Upgrade SBC a must-do for fans to test their luck.

All tasks of the EA FC 25 Max 87 Base Icon Upgrade SBC

Unlike the previously released Hero Upgrade SBC, which required two segments to be completed, the EA FC 25 Max 87 Base Icon Upgrade SBC requires three squads to be unlocked. This will make the pack harder to obtain, especially with the high rating threshold of the squads.

These are the specific stipulations mentioned in the requirements of each segment of the SBC:

Task 1: 85-rated

Team of the Week players: Minimum one in your starting eleven
Team overall rating: Minimum 85

Task 2: 86-rated

Players rated 87 or higher: Minimum one in your starting eleven
Team overall rating: Minimum 86
Number of players in the squad: 11

Task 3: 86-rated

Players rated 87 or higher: Minimum one in your starting eleven

The requirement of one Team of the Week (TOTW) player will make the SBC slightly more expensive than anticipated, as these items are often expensive to obtain via the transfer market due to their rarity and demand.
