FIFA 22: How to do the Prime Icon Upgrade SBC and is it worth doing?

Icons are one of the best cards available in FIFA 22 Ultimate Team throughout the year. They are always on 10 chem if you put them in their right positions and also gives a link to every card. They are usually very good in game and are always in high demand.

Is the Prime Icon Upgrade SBC worth doing?

The main dilemma regarding this pack is whether you will get a good icon as this is not a player pick that you can choose from. If you manage to pack the mid or prime icon version of Pele, Maradona, Ronaldo, Zidane, Cantona, Ronaldinho, Gullit, Cruyff, Daglish etc it can be great for your FUT team. But in other cases, the value of your packed icon can also be less than the cost of the SBC.

I managed to get a 91 rated Prime Drogba ST card. The card is priced at around 450,000 FUT coins which is less than the cost of the SBC. So it wasn’t an outright win for me. However, the Drogba card isn’t too bad to play in the game so I can play him as my ST.

Let’s look into the stats in detail:

The Prime Drogba card has a 4* skill move and weak foot and also has a high attacking and defensive work rate which is great in game.

The pace, shooting and physical of the Prime Drogba card is great and he also has 95 heading accuracy. However, his balance is a bit of a concern and his long passing as well. So you can use an Engine chemistry style to boost those stats.

I have been using the Prime Drogba in the FUT Division Rivals and he is still very much usable in the game. So despite the Prime Icon Upgrade SBC not being an outright win, I am not disappointed by my pack pull.
