Icons are among the best and most expensive cards in FIFA 23 and are something really special. Everybody wants to play with a lot of Icons, and that's why we show you the best and cheapest OP Icons in FIFA 23.

We show you cheap FIFA 23 OP Icons that anybody can buy. At the end of the article we also take a look at the best and most expensive Icons, so if you have a well-filled PayPal account, you can have a look at the list with Ronaldo, Pelé and Co.
The gamble SBCs that EA throws out every few weeks are very risky, but some players naturally get the best meta cards. But you also have to be careful because some cards have real fake stats and are not good at all in game.
FIFA 23: The Cheapest OP Icons
First of all, we have to determine what makes a good Icon and how the price-performance ratio fits. We can certainly agree that baby Patrick Vieira is one of the best cards in the entire game, but the French midfielder costs 2.200.000 coins. Only very few can afford that, and that's why we look around for similarly strong cards that are significantly cheaper.
We have not included any Icon in our list that is more expensive than 200k coins. Here are the best and cheapest OP Icons in FIFA 23:
ICON | POS. | RATING | PRICE |
Petr Cech | GK | 90 | 200.000 |
Peter Schmeichel | GK | 90 | 180.000 |
Nemanja Vidić | CB | 85 | 75.000 |
Laurent Blanc | CB | 89 | 133.000 |
Rio Ferdinand | CB | 88 | 135.000 |
Roy Keane | CM | 88 | 72.000 |
Claude Makélélé | RM, CDM, CM | 87 | 97.000 |
Pavel Nedvěd | LM, LW | 89 | 99.000 |
Davor Šuker | ST, CF | 90 | 92.000 |
Fernando Torres | ST, CF | 88 | 111.000 |
Gianfranco Zola | CF, ST | 90 | 130.000 |
Roberto Baggio | CAM, CF | 91 | 130.000 |
Kenny Dalglish | ST, CF, RW | 87 | 143.000 |
We particularly like the two goalkeepers Schmeichel and Cech in this list. Having an Icon in goal is quite different from having a regular gold card.
Nedvěd is our favorite player here because he has 5-star Weak Foot and just cracking all-round values. At almost 100k, he is affordable for everyone, right?
Test these Icons yourself, they are really OP and also fit the meta. We don't always want to see Mbappé and Co on the pitches, so show Icons some love.
If you pack one of the best and most expensive Icons in FIFA 23, you'll know what Icon love means...
The Best And Most Expensive Icons In FIFA 23
If you have one of these Icons in your team, you have completed FIFA 23 Ultimate Team. It's always the same... A mate of mine finished Division Rivals in a worse league with worse rewards, but then packs the 94 OVR Mid Paolo Maldini, the most expensive defender in the game. I really don't know what to say anymore.
If you wanted to buy Maldini, you would currently have to pay 1.655.000 coins. No problem, you say? Then here are the most expensive icons on every position in FIFA 23:
ICON | POS. | RATING | PRICE |
Edwin van der Sar | GK | 92 | 1.220.000 |
Paolo Maldini | CB, LB | 94 | 1.655.000 |
Roberto Carlos | LB, LWB | 91 | 1.105.000 |
Cafú | RB, RWB | 93 | 1.750.000 |
Lothar Matthäus | CDM, CB, CM | 93 | 2.320.000 |
Marcel Desailly | CB | 91 | 700.000 |
Ruud Gullit | CF, CM, CAM, ST | 94 | 15.000.000 (extinct) |
Patrick Vieira | CM, CDM | 91 | 2.200.000 |
Ronaldinho | LW, LM | 95 | 15.000.000 (extinct) |
David Beckham | RM, CM, RW | 94 | 5.000.000 |
Zinedine Zidane | CM, CAM | 96 | 3.400.000 |
Jairzinho | RW, RM | 92 | 3.200.000 |
Johan Cruyff | CF, ST | 94 | 4.000.000 |
Eusébio | CF, ST | 93 | 3.200.000 |
Ferenc Puskás | ST, CF | 94 | 1.800.000 |
Éric Cantona | ST, CF | 93 | 2.600.000 |
Pelé | ST, CF, CAM | 98 | 5.400.000 |
Ronaldo | ST, CF | 96 | 11.000.000 |
This is, of course, the crème de la crème of FUT cards. But there are supposed to be people who have enough money and coins to afford the best Icons. Gullit can play CF, CAM, CM and ST, he is after all the namesake of the "Gullit Gang", which are players who have any stat above 80 and can be used anywhere on the pitch.
Ronaldinho is by far the best and most expensive card here, the legend is even extinct on the transfer market.
All Icons we have presented here fit into the current FIFA 23 meta, of course. Have fun trying out the cards, no matter if they are the good and cheap Icons or the best and most expensive ones in FIFA 23.
