The FIFA 23 89+ FIFA World Cup or Prime Icon Upgrade SBC offer excellent options in the overall reward pool. Given the many items, some rewards will be more valuable than others. Similarly, there will be certain cards that can be acquired for much less from the FUT market.

Typically, the 89+ FIFA World Cup or Prime Icon Upgrade SBC will cost about 550,000 FUT coins every time someone completes it with fodder. Doing so from their collection will undoubtedly allow them to complete it for cheaper, thus increasing the valuation of the rewards. Nevertheless, there are certainly some cards that comprise the best possible options for the SBC.

All five of these cards are excellent options for any FIFA 23 player. They have terrific stats, high overalls, and in-game meta dominance. Each of these will ask for a significantly higher price to acquire from the FUT market, compared to what the SBC will cost to complete.

Hence, getting any or more of them can be considered the best returns for any player and whatever coins they spend.

These cards aren’t harmful on their own merits and can be pretty effective in the right hands. Their most significant issue is how much the SBC costs to complete. All five of these are available for much lower from the market, which worsens their value as an SBC reward.

However, the valuation of these cards will improve if players use fodder from their own collection and bring down the completion costs.


The said SBC is quite attractive, considering the potential rewards in question. The final valuation will depend on what players ultimately get after completing the SBC.
