If you're wanting to avoid a headache, then you're really going to want to check out the FIFA 23 Base Icon Player Pick SBC solution we have here. The Base Icon Player Pick is back in FIFA, so make sure to complete it if you missed it, or if you want to spin the wheel once more. So, carry on reading below to see all of the objectives, rewards, and the cheapest FIFA 23 Base Icon Player Pick SBC solution.

FIFA 23 Base Icon Player Pick SBC Objectives

If there is one thing in FIFA that unites the player base in chaos it is Icon SBCs. A lottery for champions that more often than not ends in heartbreak, every guaranteed Icon SBC is certain to set the hearts of each Ultimate Team enjoyer alight. 

Although this particular SBC is nerfed by only giving out Base Icons, it still gives you a chance to pack some really high value players - even if they might not be the best of the bunch. As it is so desirable though, and can end up giving you a really good player, it is unfortunately quite challenging to complete. Thankfully, we have all the details you'll need down below.

Here's all four of the objectives that you'll have to complete for the FIFA 23 Base Icon Player Pick SBC:

  • 85-Rated Squad
    • Min OVR of 87: Min One
    • Squad Rating: Min 85
    • # of players in the Squad: 11
  • 86-Rated Squad
    • Minimum OVR of 88: Min 1
    • Squad Rating: 86
    • # of players in the Squad: 11

As you can see, this particular SBC is surprisingly very easy to complete, and thankfully it just requires you to fill in the gaps with the correct ratings. Knowing how far you can stretch that, and which players to pick up can really go a long way in keeping the cost down even more. Thankfully, we have you covered down below.

Furthermore, this SBC is set to expire on January 9, at 6PM GMT so you'll have a bit of time think it over and save up if you want to try your luck at the Base Icon Player Pick.

FIFA 23 Base Icon Player Pick SBC Rewards

Here are the rewards that you can get for completing the FIFA 23 Base Icon Player Pick SBC:

  • Small Prime Gold Players Pack
  • Premium Gold Players Pack

While these obviously aren't the best rewards that are guaranteed to replenish your investment, you never know what might pop up that could end up being better than the SBC itself. Who can say no to free packs either!

FIFA 23 Base Icon Player Pick SBC Solution

As mentioned, while the live SBC objectives aren't as challenging as some of the advanced puzzle SBCs, knowing how to stretch the required ratings the furthest, and which cards to pick up for cheap is the real skill. We've got you covered with the complete FIFA 23 Base Icon Player Pick SBC solution here though, so you don't have to worry about any potential headaches you might incur.

While the solution that we provide below might be the cheapest option if you're buying completely from scratch, nine times out of ten you're going to be cheaper by using players that are already in your club if you can. This is especially the case for an SBC this expensive, as any way you can save money will really be appreciated.

While a choice of three does lower the chances of getting the worst cards, you would still need something pretty big to make the investment worthwhile.
