Is the SBC Worth it?

You have just a few days until February 6 to complete the Mid Icon Upgrade SBC in FIFA 21 Ultimate Team. You will have to pay around 600,000 coins for it.

Sounds like a bargain, considering that Pelé is worth 5.8 million coins and Ronaldo is currently worth 8.15 million coins on the transfer market, right?

Well: things are not that simple. The mid icon upgrade SBC is an absolute gamble. Because the mid icon you get for completing it is randomly selected. If you're unlucky, you'll end up with Filippo Inzaghi or Ryan Giggs from the pack, who are only worth a fraction of the coins invested.

Whether the SBC deal is worth it depends entirely on your budget and whether you still have plenty of untradeable players at the club. If you're lucky, you'll get a huge bargain. So if you have a lot of coins at your disposal, the SBC is definitely worth a look.
