50x 88+ Mixed Icon Player Picks – FC 25 Ultimate Team Pack Review

EA Sports has once again shaken up FC 25 Ultimate Team with an exciting new pack option that’s sending shockwaves across the FUT community — the 88+ Mixed Icon Player Pick. Now imagine not just opening one of these, but 50 of them! That’s exactly what some dedicated players and content creators have done, giving us a massive sample size to FIFA 25 Coins analyze the value, excitement, and potential rewards behind this high-stakes SBC.

In this article, we’ll break down what the 88+ Mixed Icon Player Pick offers, what kind of cards you can expect, and whether it’s worth the grind based on the results of 50 picks.

What Is the 88+ Mixed Icon Player Pick?

The 88+ Mixed Icon Player Pick is a special, limited-time Squad Building Challenge (SBC) that allows players to choose one out of a selection of Icons rated 88 or higher, randomly pulled from a mixed pool of Icon types. This includes:

Base Icons

Mid Icons

Prime Icons

TOTY Icons

Trophy Titans

Greats of the Game

Campaign Icons (Fantasy, Centurions, etc.)

With so many promos and Icon types included, the potential ceiling is extremely high—pulling a TOTY Zidane, Prime R9, or Trophy Titan Ronaldinho is possible—but so is getting stuck with less desirable options like Base Shearer or Mid Inzaghi.

The 50 Pick Experiment: What Did We Learn?

Across 50 completed player picks, the variety was huge. Some highlights included:

Prime Gullit

TOTY Ronaldinho

Trophy Titan Beckham

Fantasy Icon Lahm

94-rated Maldini

However, for every top-tier legend pulled, there were just as many low-value Icons that barely make it into a bench or SBC fodder category. Cards like Mid Crespo, Base Deco, and Prime Schmeichel showed up far too frequently.

Still, with a hit rate of around 15-20% for top-tier Icons, the gamble could pay off if you're lucky, or end in disappointment if the pack gods aren’t smiling.

SBC Requirements & Value

The SBC isn't cheap. It requires multiple high-rated squads, including one or two with 88+ ratings and special cards. On average, it’ll cost around 500k–600k coins worth of fodder or more, depending on market trends.

For casual players, that’s a huge investment. But for those who have been grinding upgrades, Weekend League rewards, and saving fodder, it might be the perfect high-risk, high-reward gamble.

Final Thoughts: Is It Worth It?

The 88+ Mixed Icon Player Pick is one of the most exciting—and unpredictable—SBCs in FC 25 Ultimate Team right now. With the chance to add legendary names to your squad, it's tempting for any FUT manager. But the risk is very real, and you should only take it on if you have the fodder to EAFC 25 Coins spare or enjoy the thrill of a gamble.

If you’re lucky enough to do 50? You’re in for a rollercoaster of rewards.
