How to Get Icons in FIFA 19 Ultimate Team

Recommended Videos

Icons return once again in FIFA 19, allowing you to add some of your favorite players from history to your Ultimate Team. Here is everything you need to know about how to get Icons in FIFA 19 Ultimate Team.

This year, there are more in the game than ever before. You see returning favorites such as Ruud Gullit and Thierry Henry and brand new ones like Rivaldo and Johan Cruyff, and you’ll be wanting to get them into your squad as soon as you can.

The first way to get Icons in FIFA 19 is pretty much down to luck. Any pack that contains gold players, so anything from a Gold Pack to an Ultimate Pack, could contain an Icon.

Of course, they’re very rare, and you’ll have to be very lucky to pack one. For example, I have opened hundreds of packs over the last few years, and have never packed one. All you can do is keep your fingers crossed that you’re one of the lucky ones.

The other way to get the cards in Ultimate Team is to complete the Prime Icon Squad Building Challenges (SBCs). They differ in price, depending on the player, but they only tend to last for 30 days. The first three sets have already gone from the game.

Which players will be available when, we don’t know, but last year EA kept most of the top level ones back until the latter months of the game’s life-cycle. You’ll have the chance to get these coveted legendary players in the game throughout the year. Once they’re out, complete the set of challenging SBCs and the card will be yours to play with.

That’s all you need to know about how to get Icons in FIFA 19 Ultimate Team. For more tips and tricks on the game, be sure to check out our FIFA 19 wiki guide.

TL;DR

Question: How do you get Icons in FIFA 19?
