Ultimate Team players woke up to huge content tonight, and the highlight is without question the brand-new Max 91 Base Icon Upgrade SBC in EA Sports FC 26. This SBC allows players to secure a guaranteed Base Icon rated 91 OVR or lower, meaning the power curve is strong, and the potential rewards are massive. Whether you’re grinding Rivals, Weekend League, or simply building a club stacked with historical legends, this SBC brings the kind of gamble that can dramatically change a squad overnight. With names like Henry, Ibrahimović, Eusebio, Cruyff, and Gullit in the eligible pool, the excitement level is at an all-time high.

This SBC sits perfectly at the stage of the FC 26 cycle where the meta is starting to take shape and teams need that final push of star power. Some Icons included offer explosive pace and elite dribbling; others provide clinical finishing or unmatched physical presence. The cards featured in the promo graphics highlight some of the strongest potential pulls, and now we’re breaking them down one by one so you know exactly what could be waiting behind that pack animation.

Alex Morgan — 91 OVR ST

Alex Morgan stands out instantly as one of the most well-rounded attacking Icons available in this SBC. With 93 pace and 90 shooting, she becomes a nightmare for defenders relying on deep back lines or high-pressure systems. Her 80 passing means she can play one-twos and feed fellow attackers, while the 90 dribbling ensures smooth movement when facing defensive blocks. What makes Morgan even stand out more is the balance between agility and finishing, meaning whether you prefer quick triggers, low-driven shots, or tight-angle finesse strikes, she delivers with consistency.

Her 88 physical paired with 77 defending gives her unique versatility: she can press aggressively and hold off defenders, making her perfect for modern pressing systems or counterattacking setups. Morgan fits players who value responsiveness, explosive acceleration, and finishing consistency in the box. In a meta where pace and animation advantage matter more than ever, Morgan is one of the Icon pulls that instantly upgrades any squad, especially in Division Rivals or Weekend League.

Ruud Gullit — 90 OVR CAM

Ruud Gullit remains one of the most complete footballers to ever enter Ultimate Team, and even his Base Icon version feels absurdly reliable. With 85 pace, 88 shooting, and 88 passing, he becomes one of the most versatile CAMs or box-to-box midfielders in FC 26. His 86 dribbling ensures fluid turns despite his taller frame, and his ability to dominate possession phases makes him feel like a midfield cheat code. Gullit thrives in playmaking roles and transitional football thanks to his elite vision and strong off-the-ball movement.

The real difference-maker is his 87 physical and 80 defending, which allow him to operate as a complete midfielder who can tackle, intercept, hold play, and bully opposing midfielders. He isn’t just an attacking asset, he’s a structural foundation to build a system around. Whether you run him at CM, CAM, or even secondary striker, Gullit gives your squad identity, making him one of the very best potential SBC outcomes.

Thierry Henry — 91 OVR ST

Thierry Henry is built for the meta pure pace, graceful movement, and lethal finishing. With 93 pace and 90 dribbling, he glides across the pitch with elegance and aggression, especially when exploiting space on the left side. The 89 shooting ensures deadly finishing, whether timed finesse, outside-foot attempts, or low driven strikes. Henry thrives in systems using through-ball mechanics or fast direct buildup because his acceleration and body type make him incredibly difficult to defend.

With 82 passing, Henry can also contribute to playmaking when dropping deep, making him far more than just a goal threat. His 78 physical ensures stability when receiving under pressure, and paired with his tall frame, he feels surprisingly strong in shoulder-to-shoulder duels. For players who love dynamic, creative strikers, Henry may be one of the biggest Ws possible from this SBC.

Zlatan Ibrahimović — 91 OVR ST

Zlatan Ibrahimović enters FC 26 once again as a striker who breaks defensive logic. With 84 pace he isn’t the fastest, but his 93 shooting ensures some of the most lethal finishing animations in the game. His 82 passing and 90 dribbling make him feel like a creative powerhouse, especially when using skill moves or holding possession in tight spaces. Ibrahimović is also a technician, meaning everything he does, from volley mechanics to long-range strikes feels smooth and dominant.

What truly sets Zlatan apart is the physical presence. With 89 physical and 46 defending, he becomes nearly impossible to dispossess, making him one of the most powerful hold-up or target-man options in Ultimate Team. If your playstyle includes crosses, power shots, and physical duels, Zlatan can dominate matches. For many players, packing Ibrahimović would be a dream outcome from this SBC.

Zico — 91 OVR CAM

Zico brings flair, elegance, and high-level technical football to FC 26 Ultimate Team. With 89 pace, 92 shooting, and 91 passing, he excels in playmaking and long-range scoring. His 91 dribbling gives him tight control, making him feel smooth and slippery in crowded midfield battles. Zico thrives in both traditional CAM roles and as an attacking playmaker in systems using tiki-taka or possession-heavy approaches.

His 62 defending and 71 physical mean he isn't suited for defensive midfield responsibilities; instead, he’s the creative mind in your squad. He is the kind of card that rewards smart movement, timing, and finishing technique. If you’re a player who values finesse, skill-based attacks, and unpredictable creativity, Zico becomes one of the most rewarding pulls available.

Eusébio — 91 OVR ST

Eusébio has always been a top-tier Icon, and nothing changes in FC 26. With 92 pace, he bursts past defenders instantly, and the 92 shooting makes him one of the most efficient finishers in the game. His 84 passing allows creative link-up play, while 91 dribbling means he’s quick, agile, and sharp when facing defenders 1v1. Eusébio’s animations favor meta playstyles like ball roll, scoop turn, and explosive sprint.

With 77 physical and 44 defending, he plays strictly as an attacking outlet, not someone who presses deep or wins tackles. But the finishing animations, finesse windows, and movement make him one of the strongest Icon strikers the SBC can offer. If you pack Eusébio, he instantly becomes a starter no discussion needed.

Should You Complete the SBC?

The Max 91 Base Icon Upgrade SBC is one of the most exciting additions to FC 26 so far, especially with promo-tier Icons like Morgan, Henry, Ibrahimović, Zico, and Gullit in the pool. If you're sitting on untradeable fodder and need a game-changing piece, this SBC offers massive upside. Yes, there is risk but the potential reward is squad-defining.

If you're planning Weekend League or building a long-term team, this is one SBC worth strongly considering.
