In the SBC section of Ultimate Team, you can now take on the newly available challenges, including the 87+ Base/Centurions Icon SBC, which offers a chance to unlock legendary players such as Ronaldo, Pele, Kaka, Roberto Carlos, and many more.

87+ Base/Centurions Icon SBC Explained

To complete this SBC, you’ll need to submit three full squads, with the total value of the requirements coming to approximately 155.65K UT Coins. The first squad requires 11 players with an 85 overall rating and at least one Team of the Week player, the second squad must have an 86 overall rating and the final squad requires an 87 overall rating.

By solving each challenge, you’ll receive a pack that you can open before progressing to the next one. A good strategy is to use concept players to complete the challenge initially, ensuring all requirements are met before submitting your squad.

This challenge is repeatable, but you can test your luck only twice. Completing it even once might significantly deplete your SBC fodder, so be prepared to use a substantial amount of UT Coins to purchase players if needed.

Additionally, while the solution we’ve provided isn’t the absolute cheapest in terms of value, we’ve also included the most affordable options for each of the three challenges to help you complete the 87+ Base/Centurions Icon SBC.

Cheapest 85 Rated Players

86 Rated Squad Challenge

For this SBC, all you need is a standard 86-rated squad, but be cautious not to use very high-rated players, as the next challenge requires a higher-rated squad. If you’re already running low on SBC fodder, we recommend checking out a list of affordable 86-rated players to help you complete this challenge efficiently.

Here are the cheapest 86-rated players that you can use to solve this SBC.

87 Rated Squad Challenge

This is the most challenging and wallet-draining SBC in this group, so it’s crucial to make use of free special item players to complete it. As you can see, we’ve also included William Carvalho, a player that every UT player has received as a reward, to help reduce costs.

Since the player isn’t actively part of our starting 11, we decided to use him as SBC fodder to help solve these high-rated challenges.

In addition to our solution, here’s a list of some of the cheapest 87-rated players you can use as alternatives.

SBC Rewards

Several base Icon players, ranging from the 86-rated Hernandez to the 95-rated Pele, could be part of your reward for completing this SBC group. However, it’s important not to get your hopes up too high, as the outcome is purely based on luck.

Here is a list of the top ten Icons you can get from this SBC:

• Pele
• Ronaldo
• Zidane
• Ronaldinho
• Hamm
• Cryuff
