EA FC 25 Michael Essien FUT Birthday Icon SBC: Review
The overall expected cost of the EA FC 25 Michael Essien FUT Birthday Icon SBC is around 1.3 million coins. While he has the stats and traits to be an exceptional midfielder, this is slightly overpriced due to his lack of base PlayStyles. While the Incisive Pass+ PlayStyle is appealing, he does not have any other passing traits or the Intercept PlayStyle.
