FIFA 21: Here are the new Icons available in the SBCs

The new SBCs dedicated to Icons have arrived in FIFA 21. Let's find out which players they are and which ones should be unlocked!

SBCs (Squad Building Challenge) continue in FIFA 21, have now become one of the most popular habits of players. Many (like myself) have received some nice surprises taking advantage of these challenges, but players continue to prefer those relating to players, which can be unlocked by completing the SBC themed. The most popular, needless to say, are those dedicated to the Icon, that is the legends of the past, usually available for a longer period of time also due to the high demand for cards to be completed.



In the last few hours, Electronic Arts has made available, right in the SBCs, three new Icons, more or less interesting but still to be "evaluated" on the field. We are talking about Sol Campbell, Didier Drogba and "our" Andrea Pirlo, all three available in the version Prime moments for the next few days.

All challenges require an important financial outlay and therefore it is right to analyze well whether or not it is worthwhile to unlock the cards, both objectively and based on your team. We clearly want to try to help you in your choice, clearly leaving the final decision to you.

Andrea Pirlo Prime Moments, CC, OV 93


The first Icon card available is our "Maestro", that is Andrea Pirlo, former leader of the Milan and Juve midfield and world champion with Lippi's Italian national team in 2006. It goes without saying that this card is very special, as it does not shine underneath. two important aspects also considering the role of the player: speed and physique. Of course, it is clear that being a low playmaker the physique does not necessarily have to be a priority, but combined with other factors (such as average workrate or stamina) makes him a difficult player to field in the middle of the field.

Let me be clear, in terms of passing and ball control it is absolutely sensational, but considering the low speed and low resistance it becomes impossible to deploy him as COC, the role probably most suitable for his stats. Overall, therefore, the Icon card dedicated to Andrea Pirlo is not exactly one of the most essential and it is probably designed exclusively for the player's fans who dabble on the FIFA 21 servers, rather than those looking for a real “meta” or otherwise usable player.

  • Overall rating: 3/5
  • Value for money: 3/5

Didier Drogba Prime Moments, ATT, OV 92


The second Icon card available is the one dedicated to Didier Drogba, one of the strongest and most prolific forwards in the recent history of international football. The good Didier, in the Prime Moments version, is a monstrous player, at least according to the statistics that, especially for those of shooting, appear truly amazing. Analyzing the card well, and above all trying it with his hand, one realizes, however, that this player has important limits, especially due to the values ​​of agility and above all balance (only 70) really bulky, also calculating the size and body type of the player.

Drogba is a quick and lethal tip, but also due to the four-star skill it is overall too cumbersome and limited in its movements, especially at certain levels. Of course, in the more modest divisions it can also make a difference, but we don't feel we can advise you to unlock it, especially considering the price of the challenge.

  • Overall rating: 3,5/5
  • Value for money: 3/5

Sol Campbell Prime Moments, DC, OV 90

The best player of this Icon group is definitely Sol Campbell, the English giant ex Arsenal. The titanic English central, in addition to having a very high index of hybridity, is one of the strongest players in the role ever, thanks to a lethal combination of speed, power and great defensive reading. Statistics in hand, but also in game, the player is absolutely monstrous, able to attach himself to the man like few others in FIFA 21 and above all always precise and never out of position.

The only flaw of the card is represented byagility and balance, which on some occasions make it too cumbersome to return to the exact position, perhaps immediately after a recovery of the ball or a more complicated marking. For the rest, however, Sol Campbell in its Prime Moments version represents a safety, for all types of players, and also considering the purchase price or the cost of the challenge, we would like to advise everyone to unlock it, especially if you need it. of a reliable power plant.

  • Overall rating: 4,5/5
  • Value for money: 4/5
