The Paolo Maldini Base Icon SBC will be live in FIFA 23 for 30 days so that players can take a patient approach. For example, if a FIFA 23 player completes everything with fodder from the market, they will require about 312,000 FUT coins.
However, the completion cost can be drastically reduced if they use fodder from their own collection.
FIFA 23 players will get an 88-rated LB card after completing the Paolo Maldini Base Icon SBC. While the base version is the lowest of the three available ones, there's plenty of value to be had.
