The newly released EA FC 24 87+ Base, Thunderstruck or Winter Wildcards Icon Player Pick SBC can be a real mixed bag for the players completing the challenge. Released earlier on February 4, the new SBC offers four picks to choose from after you complete its three tasks.

Naturally, there are certain icons in the reward pool that are far more expensive than what the SBC will cost. These are the perfect players to choose as your rewards. Similarly, there are certain items in the pool that have massively declined in their market valuations; these are the items that you should hope to avoid at all costs.

The EA FC 24 87+ Base, Thunderstruck or Winter Wildcards Icon Player Pick SBC contains three different types of icons. The following items are possibly the best rewards you can hope to get.

  • Pele Base Icon
  • Ronaldinho Thunderstruck Icon
  • Pele Winter Wildcards Icon
  • Johann Cruyff Thunderstruck Icon
  • Ruud Gullit Base Icon
  • Mia Hamm Base Icon
  • Ronaldo Base Icon

All these cards are extremely expensive to acquire directly from the market. They have excellent in-game stats, dominate the general meta, and they're right on top of the current power curve. These are among the best possible cards that you can currently use in your lineup.

Since the reward pool is quite massive, there are a lot of cards that have now fallen down in their market costs. These used to be pretty valuable earlier on in Ultimate Team, but they have now been replaced by better items.

  • Gheorghe Hagi Base Icon
  • Patrick Kluivert Base Icon
  • Ian Rush Base Icon
  • John Barnes Winter Wildcards Icon
  • Ian Rush Winter Wildcards Icon

It's best to avoid these items at all cost, and if you want to try them out, it's advised to rely on the market. That way, you'll save a lot of value on your fodder and coins.
