EA Sports has released a refreshed version of the EA FC 24 88+ Encore Icon Player Pick SBC for gamers to test their luck and try to obtain some overpowered legend cards. This pick has been released several times in the past as well, but the player pool of available items now includes Ultimate Birthday Icons. The EA FC 24 88+ Encore Icon Player Pick SBC includes special versions of Icons from the Winter Wildcards, Team of the Year, Future Stars, or Ultimate Birthday promos.

Unlike previously released Icon player pick SBCs, the EA FC 24 88+ Encore Icon Player Pick SBC is much more lenient in terms of requirements. It only consists of two segments, each with its own stipulations and pack rewards. With Team of the Season introducing several new items that boost the power curve of the game's meta, it comes as no surprise that Icons are relatively cheaper than before.

These are the requirements of the SBC:

Task 1: 87-rated squad

• Any TOTS or TOTW player: Minimum one in your starting eleven
• Team overall rating: Minimum 87

Task 2: 88-rated squad

• Team overall rating: Minimum 88

The SBC accepts both Team of the Season and Team of the Week items in the first segment, which will be helpful for gamers, as it is easier to obtain the former than the latter in the current state of the transfer market.
