We got another SBC in FIFA 22 for Ultimate Team: You can earn repeatable mid icon player picks. Which players are in the SBC and is it worth it? How much does it cost?
The FIFA 22 content is often about the icons these days. Icon Swaps 2 is here, and the Icon Moments are just around the corner as well. So it just makes sense that EA releases an SBC based on the legends. In this article, we give you all important information about the Mid Icon Player Pick SBC in FIFA 22.By the way, we already did something similar for the guaranteed Mid Icon Upgrade Challenge some time ago. So... let's take a look at how much the SBC costs and which players would be worth it!
Mid Icon Player Pick SBC Summary
You have exactly one week (until March 1, 2022) to complete the challenge... or not. You have to hand in four teams in total, after each step, a pack is waiting for you. Here is a small overview:
| Teams | Price Range | Rewards |
| 85-rated Squad | 95K-98K | Rare Mixed Players Pack |
| 85-rated Squad | 97K-100K | Prime Electrum Players Pack |
| 87-rated Squad | 215K-223K | Premium Gold Players Pack |
| 87-rated Squad | 215K-223K | Rare Electrum Players Pack |
| Completed Challenge | 625K-646K | Mid Icon Player Pick |
What the...? Tell me, did EA really think this one through? No matter what Kendrick says, money trees aren't a real thing and that applies to FUT Coins as well. Also, not all of us can earn money by playing FIFA. But all jokes aside, the price seems completely unjustified, especially after Neymar recently crashed the transfer market again...
Is The Mid Icon Player Pick SBC in FIFA 22 Worth It?
If we think in terms of economics, and especially keeping our coins in mind, probably not, no. The Mid Icon Player Pick SBC is pretty expensive and many of the icons are below market value... but more on that in a moment.

Mid Icon Player Pick SBC – You Can Make A Profit With These Players
Okay, this is the most important info we can give you – after all, you don't do the SBC for the packs, you do it for the Player Pick. If you look at the extremely long list of icons in FIFA 22 – 105 of them, to be exact – you quickly realize that many of the icons cost significantly less than the SBC. Thank you, transfer market crash! Well, here we've listed all the legends you'd still make a profit on:
| ICON | NATION | RATING | Price |
| Ronaldo (R9) | Brazil | 94 | 5,31 million |
| Pelé | Brazil | 95 | 3,86 million |
| Ruud Gullit | Netherlands | 90 | 3,16 million |
| Johan Cruyff | Netherlands | 91 | 2,7 million |
| Ronaldinho | Brazil | 91 | 2,2 million |
| Eusébio | Portugal | 91 | 2 million |
| Patrick Vieira | France | 88 | 1,65 million |
| Zinedine Zidane | France | 94 | 1,57 million |
| Diego Maradona | Argentina | 95 | 1,52 million |
| Lothar Matthäus | Germany | 91 | 1,31 million |
| Paolo Maldini | Italy | 92 | 965K |
| Garrincha | Brazil | 92 | 925K |
| Ferenc Puskás | Hungary | 92 | 905K |
| Samuel Eto'o | Cameroon | 90 | 800K |
| Philipp Lahm | Germany | 89 | 779K |
| Roberto Carlos | Brazil | 88 | 710K |
| George Best | England | 90 | 694K |
17 out of 105, that's a bit more than 16% and therefore not a really good rate. We're also wondering why EA didn't publish the Player Pick SBC as a Mid and Prime Icon Challenge.
SBCs are extremely popular in FUT. You shouldn't miss out on these Challenges:
