EA Sports has given all FIFA 22 players a unique opportunity to earn themselves a random icon base edition by completing the Base Icon Upgrade SBC, which became live a few moments ago.
Icons are special items available in FIFA 22 Ultimate Team, which comprises former footballers who achieved legendary status. From Pele and Ronaldinho to Zinedine Zidane and Patrick Vieira, FIFA 22 players can fulfill their dreams of playing as the biggest stars of the years gone by.
But playing with an icon item is easier said than done in FIFA 22. Their legendary statuses, coupled with their rarity, make these player items highly valuable. Even when available on the FUT market, these items usually go for premium prices only.

Review of the Base Icon Upgrade SBC
The great thing about this SBC is that FIFA 22 players will be obtaining an Icon to add to their Ultimate Team squad. But is the high price of 550k FUT coins worth it? No.
The SBC will gift the base edition of an icon, which is the lowest available edition. Unless a FIFA 22 player feels lucky, this SBC should better be avoided.
