In FIFA 22 we got again a new SBC for Ultimate Team: The Prime Icon Upgrade Challenge can be completed. Is the SBC worth it? And how many coins does it cost? Let’s have a look.

FUT Birthday Event here (Happy Birthday, Ultimate Team!), Icon Moments Release there – in FIFA 22 the published content is going through the roof again. Oh yes, and Man of the Match cards are dropped every now and then… even if most of them are not really playable.

Somewhere in all of this hoopla, a new SBC has now been released. With the Prime Icon Upgrade, you can treat yourself to a Prime Icon – that’s obvious, given the name. Is it worth it? Let’s check it out!

Prime Icon Upgrade SBC Overview
Probs, EA Sports, at first glance it seems like the price for the Prime Icon Upgrade Challenge is pretty fair. There have been SBCs in FIFA 22 you should keep more than 1,5 meters distance from… here a small overview about the single tasks:

All in all you’ll get 360K coins with the four required teams, which is bearable for the beginning of March. For comparison, the first Icon SBC in FIFA 22 also cost about that many coins. We hate to remember it though, if you completed the challenge back then you got ripped off 99% of the time. Well, further in the text…

Is the Prime Icon Upgrade SBC in FIFA 22 worth it?
To be able to answer this question honestly, we first have to look which icons are worth more than the SBC. In the following table we have highlighted the players which are currently worth more than one million coins. Yes, what a service. Only for you!

If you take a closer look at the long list of all 105 icons in FIFA 22, you currently make a profit with 43 of them – 17 legends are still above one million coins on the transfer market and are therefore of course a pretty cool deal. With the remaining 62 icons you lose your coins… because the SBC is not a player pick, the chances are not really good. Too bad…

FIFA Squad Building Challenges (short SBC)

The FIFA Squad Building Challenges (SBC for short) are about putting together a team according to certain specifications. They are an important part of FIFA Ultimate Team (FUT) and bring coins, valuable packs or special cards when fulfilled.

For the most part, you’ll have to line up eleven players that you have in your club and then send this squad off. These players will then disappear from your club. In return, you’ll receive a reward, such as a pack or a special card. As with FIFA 19, FIFA 20 and FIFA 21 we will report about the latest SBCs for FIFA 22 here and help you to judge if it is worth to complete a challenge.

START WITH THE SQUAD BUILDING CHALLENGES

In Squad Building Challenges (SBCs), you can use your player items to build unique teams based on various challenge conditions. You can then submit these to receive bonuses.

Here’s how:

• From the FIFA 22 main menu, select the FIFA Ultimate Team section.
• In the home page section, select Squad Building Challenges and call them up.
• Select the challenge you want to complete. They are grouped by category.

Create a team.

• Using items from your club or from the transfer market, build a team that meets the challenge conditions. Usually this is a mix of player quality, team chemistry, team value, nationalities, leagues and clubs.

Master the Challenge to submit your team and receive bonuses.

• All SBC submissions cannot be undone. Once you complete an SBC, the submitted items will be permanently removed from your club in exchange for bonuses. Our consultants cannot restore submitted items.
• For some SBCs, you will only have a limited amount of time to complete them. Once a challenge has expired, you will no longer be able to submit a team.

More details about SBCs

1. Some SBCs consist of multiple challenges with individual bonuses and a larger overall completion bonus. Other challenges are single challenges.
2. Some SBCs are repeatable. You have a chance to get different bonuses for each team submission, but you might also get the same bonus.
3. SBCs are available in all FIFA 22 versions, but they can vary depending on the platform. Bonuses can also vary from platform to platform.
