EA Sports has released the EA FC 26 Max 87 Base Icon Upgrade SBC in Ultimate Team, allowing gamers to test their luck and try to obtain an overpowered legend for their rosters. This is the first Icon Upgrade pack to be released in the game cycle so far, and while the rating cap will limit the number of available players, there are still some amazing items up for grabs.

This is similar to the previously released Max 86 and Max 87 Hero Upgrade SBCs. However, with Icons being more desirable and overpowered on the virtual pitch, the EA FC 26 Max 87 Base Icon Upgrade SBC is also more expensive to unlock.

The overall expected cost of the SBC is around 200,000 coins. This is double the price of the previously released Hero Upgrade SBC. While this is a high cost, there are some very overpowered players available in this pack who are worth more than the price of the SBC. These are some of the best options:

  • Fernando Torres: 87
  • Gianfranco Zola: 87
  • John Barnes: 87
  • Nemanja Vidic: 87
  • Claude Makelele: 87
  • Sisi: 86
  • Michael Essien: 86
  • Gianluca Zambrotta: 86
  • Cha Bum Kun: 86

All these players possess the stats required to be elite-tier in their respective positions under the FC IQ system, making the SBC worth gambling on.
