Icons can make a difference in EA FC 24 Ultimate Team. We'll show you the best cheap OP Icons!
Icons are among the best and most expensive special cards in EA FC 24. Especially at the beginning of the game, Icons can make a difference in almost any team. In EA Sports FC 24, the chemistry system for Icons has been reworked, making the cards more attractive for team building. Additionally, there is now only one base version of the cards, whereas in previous editions, you could choose between Base, Mid, and Prime Icon.
This has naturally had an impact on card prices in the transfer market. Icons have become rarer overall. Pulling an Icon from a pack is almost impossible. Consequently, the best Legends in the game are quite expensive. However, there are still cards that are both affordable and overpowered in-game. In this article, we'll show you the best and cheapest OP Icons in EA FC 24.
The Best And Cheapest OP Icons In EA FC 24
Only Icons that are cheaper than 300,000 coins have made it onto our list. While this may sound like a lot of coins, EA FC has already been on the market for a few days, so you've probably earned some coins by now. With 300k, you can already get some good Icons that can really make a difference in-game.
Cheap OP Icons in EA FC 24
Our list includes Icons for all positions, so you can strategically upgrade your team. However, don't expect any of the following Icons to lead your team to success single-handedly. If your teammates are too weak, it's better to invest your coins in squad depth. Here are the best affordable Icons in EA FC 24:
| POSITION | ICON | OVR | COINS |
| GK | Petr Cech | 88 | 220,000 |
| GK | Iker Casillas | 90 | 250,000 |
| CB | Alessandro Nesta | 89 | 216,000 |
| CB | Sol Campbell | 86 | 287,000 |
| CM, CAM | Juan Sebastián Verón | 86 | 164,000 |
| CAM | Juan Román Riquelme | 88 | 125,000 |
| ST, CF | Ian Wright | 87 | 125,000 |
| ST, CF | Luis Hernández | 86 | 215,000 |
Regarding goalkeepers, you should know that compared to regular gold cards in this position, you may not notice many differences. Goalkeepers in EA FC 24 are sometimes very inconsistent. Iker Casillas, however, has three good playstyles that can make life difficult for opponents: Long Throw, Foot Save, and Acrobatic Save.
In defense, we've chosen Nesta and Campbell. Nesta has better defensive stats, although he's not as fast as Campbell. Due to the various new AcceleRATE types, speed is not as important as it was in FIFA 22. Good defending stats matter, and Nesta has one of the best Playstyles in the entire game, "Slide Tackle+".
Verón is one of the few good midfielders you can afford. The Argentine is a solid all-rounder who will definitely improve your midfield.
Riquelme is also on the list, even though he only has 71 Pace. However, the offensive player has 5-star skills and meta playstyles. You can try this card for 125,000 coins, whether as an outer CM in a 4-3-2-1 formation or as a lone playmaker, and feel the vibe of an Icon.
In the attack, we have two fast strikers with Wright and Hernández, with the upgrade from Wright to Hernández being significant. Hernández's major weakness is his 3-star Weak Foot, but otherwise, the Mexican is really strong. Feel free to try him out!
