The EAFC 24 Coins FUT Birthday Promo is in full swing! Besides FUT Birthday Team 1 and the Swap Tokens a 1 of 3 88+ Prime, Mid or WC Icon Player Pick SBC was released. At the same time, "normal" Icon SBCs are also available for a similar price. Is the player pick worth the risk? We have the answers!

FC 24 currently offers a lot of content, so the community can't complain to EA. For example, there are the Daily Login SBC, FUT Birthday objective players, Swap Tokens, Icon SBCs and the Icon SBC Player Pick. At the same time, you get good Fodder from all the objectives and milestones.

We were admittedly surprised to see EA release a player pick that includes WC Icons and Prime Icons so early as part of FUT Birthday. Now, of course, the assumption is that the pack weight won't be outstanding. The minimum 88 rating effectively excludes no Prime Icon at all, so you can get the full player pool.

Which is not good, because there are significantly more Prime Icons that cost a lot less than the SBC. And we're talking about the Prime Icons, the Mid Icons are of course much worse. You should be happy if your player pick includes a World Cup Icon, because they have a dynamic image (which is a W) and a rather small player pool.

The price of the SBC has settled at around 480,000 coins in the course of the evening. Let's face it: the SBC is damn expensive and there are few cards more expensive than the SBC that can strengthen your team. But first, here are the requirements:

That's quite a price. We will show you in detail how big the chances are that you will come out of this SBC with a profit. If we look at the current player SBCs and see Zambrotta Prime for a similar price, we're not sure if the gamble SBC is worth it. At the end of the day, it all depends on your pack luck anyway.

You have to trade one 86 OVR team and two 87 OVR teams, and you still have to give up an in-form on the final squad. Phew... This results in a ratio of 60 to 233. We don't find that good at all. And FC 24 Coins we'll tell you why in a moment.
