When will the first Icon Moments Player Pick SBCs be released? This is an important question that not only we but the whole community has no answer for yet. Sigh... We're already in March and EA Sports is still releasing Mid or Prime Icon SBCs...

At least we got a Player Pick challenge today, so the odds of packing something decent should be a little better. But is the Challenge able to keep up with the FUT events lately? And what is the cheapest way to finish the SBC? Let's check it out!

Mid Or Prime Icon Player Pick SBC Summary

The Mid or Prime Icon Player Pick SBC is repeatable and can be completed until March 23. You have to exchange four teams in total, but just check out our table yourself:

566K coins, that's... expensive to say the least – especially if you don't know how to easily get coins with trading. We wouldn't consider this SBC a gift from EA, even though Ultimate Team is still celebrating its birthday. At least you get some okay-ish packs while completing the challenge...

Is The Mid Or Prime Icon SBC In FIFA 22 Worth It?

With these types of Icon SBCs, it's always a pretty difficult question to answer. We would have to calculate the exact percentage of fantastic pulls first and – quite honestly – math has never really been one of my strengths, sorry. What will help you, however, is a table with all the players with whom you would make a large profit. Here we have listed all Mid and Prime Icons that are currently worth over a million coins:

Icon VersionIcon Player + Price
  • Prime Icons (1 Million coins)
  • Ronaldo (R9 – 7,5M)
  • Pelé (4,18M)
  • Ronaldinho (3,69M)
  • Ruud Gullit (3,66M)
  • Johan Cruyff (3,58M)
  • Eusébio (3,25M)
  • Zinedine Zidane (2,34M)
  • Diego Maradona (2,22M)
  • Patrick Vieira (1,94M)
  • Lothar Matthäus (1,93M)
  • Paolo Maldini (1,9M)
  • Éric Cantona (1,63M)
  • Ferenc Puskás (1,59M)
  • Samuel Eto'o (1,59M)
  • Thierry Henry (1,25M)
  • Mané Garrincha (1,24M)
  • George Best (1,07M)
  • Mid Icons (1 Million coins)
  • Ronaldo (R9 – 5M)
  • Pelé (3,48M)
  • Ruud Gullit (2,97M)
  • Johan Cruyff (2,41M)
  • Ronaldinho (2M)
  • Eusébio (1,87M)
  • Patrick Vieira (1,59M)
  • Zinedine Zidane (1,54M)
  • Diego Maradona (1,51M)
  • Lothar Matthäus (1,23M)

This gives you a total of 27 player picks, which can put out twice the value of the SBC. So, to be precise: If you're struggling to get the coins necessary for this challenge, just don't complete it. If you have a lot of coin, though, then you should probably try your luck. And hey, SBCs and player picks are always fun.
