EA Sports recently brought back the popular Base Icon Upgrade SBC in their FIFA 24 Ultimate Team mode during the Black Friday celebrations. This SBC is known for its potential to reward players with elite-tier Icons, making it highly sought after by gamers.
While the requirements for the SBC have not changed significantly, the refresh timer and availability have been modified. Earlier, it was repeatable three times, but now players can complete it twice within a span of five days, with a refresh occurring after the initial five days. This adjustment allows gamers to obtain a total of four Base Icon Upgrade packs in FIFA 24.
Icons are some of the most coveted players in the game due to their outstanding stats, abilities, and the chemistry boost they offer to the team. This year, the Icon roster has undergone major changes, featuring both male and female players, with the number of base versions reduced to one for each Icon, making them even more desirable and rare.
To complete the Base Icon Upgrade SBC, players need to submit two squads: an 86-rated squad with at least one Team of the Week player in the starting 11 and a minimum overall rating of 86, and an 87-rated squad with a minimum overall rating of 87. The estimated cost of completing the SBC is around 250,000 coins, which is slightly lower than its predecessor due to the reduction in the price of in-form items in the current transfer market.
The potential rewards from the Base Icon Upgrade SBC are highly enticing, with several overpowered and expensive players up for grabs, including the likes of Ronaldo Nazario, Pele, Ronaldinho, Mia Hamm, Johan Cruyff, Ruud Gullit, Eusebio, and many others. These players are worth millions of coins in the transfer market, making the SBC a worthwhile endeavor for most Ultimate Team enthusiasts.
