Icon and rating |
Description |
---|---|
Ruud Gullit (90) |
Gullit, since his debut in the EA FC franchise, has always been an example of a high-level all-round card. There's no real weakness to the card, it can play in the CAM, CM and ST positions, and it also sports Aerial+ PlayStyle, so headers can be extremely easy. |
Jairzinho (90) |
Jairzinho is the best Brazilian icon available in this SBC, thanks to his attacking flexibility, five-star skill moves and incredible offensive stats including pace, shooting and dribbling. Add to this a Rapid+ playstyle and your enemies will struggle to catch up on the run. |
Lothar Matthaus (90) |
Similar to Gullit, Matthaus is the German version of an all-round midfielder. Where Gullit is better at dribbling and heading, Matthaus is faster and better at defending, making him a better defensive midfielder. The Power Shot+ PlayStyle it sports is also very meta, while it can play CM, CDM, and even CB to fit almost any team. |
Gareth Bale (88) |
A new Icon in FC 25, Bale is one of the fastest Icon cards in the game and sports a left foot cannon. While he doesn't have the same advantages as Jairzinho, Bale is similar in his Rapid+ playing style and great attacking stats. As long as you get around his three-star weak foot, Bale is an extraordinary winger and striker. |
Roberto Carlos (90) |
One of the best full-backs every year, Roberto Carlos is everything players want in a full-back: fast, strong, good at passing and crossing and with lots of stamina. It also features the PlayStyle Dead Ball+, which makes free kicks even easier than ever. |
These are the first five icons you can get, but there are many other good options, including Patrick Viera, Samuel Eto'o, Didier Drogba, Rio Ferdinand, Franck Ribery and George Best just to name a few. However, there is also a good chance that you can get Icon cards with a rating of 86 or 87, which includes fewer potential wins for the price of the SBC.
In fact, for the price of SBC from scratch, there are only
12 icons out of 86 that are worth more than the price of the SBC
. This means that if you run the SBC from scratch, there is a file
14% chance of getting a great shot
. Now, depending on how many cards you didn't purchase and instead used from your club, the chance of getting a card that's worth more than you invested increases.
So when you complete this SBC and see the strike animation, some of the best nations to see include Cameroon, France, Ivory Coast, and Northern Ireland. However, if you see England, Mexico, Croatia or Argentina, you will probably get a cheaper icon than expected.
