As happened last week with Drogba and Linekertoday we have a double portion of SBC Icons in FIFA 23. And, until May 26, they will be available John Barnes and Nemanja Vidic’s Prime cards in Squad Building Challenges.
Nemanja Vidic Prime Icon
John Barnes Prime Icon
As we said with Drogba and Lineker, we don’t think they are very interesting SBC players. Both have clear strengths, but they don’t stand out in this age of FIFA 23. So if your budget is high, we’d go for more competitive options. And if you have a hard time generating coins or stockings, we wouldn’t use them here.
Vidic Icon Prime’s defensive stats are brutal, plus he’s 6’2″ and reaches 92 strength. At short distances, he should be one of the most reliable CB’s in Ultimate Team. The problem is that it only combines 76 acceleration with 79 sprint.
Although it will be precise in cutting, la lack of speed should take its toll at certain times. So we prefer players with humbler interception, intelligence, and steal numbers; but much faster.
While John Barnes Icon Prime could perform very decently as a winger. His stats are balanced and correct, apart from the fact that he doesn’t suffer from stars. But he is not surprising for anything in particular either and his 91 general dribbling will be misleading. Because agility drops to 85, balance to 77, he has a Balanced Body Type and is 1’82.
Due to its physical characteristics, it will be a somewhat bulky attacker. This will make it better withstand struggles, but also make it less electric at short distances. And with all the affordable useful options found already in FIFA 23, We don’t think it would be interesting to include him in the team. For example, for just 56,500 coins we can sign Ljungberg FUT Heroes from the World Cup in the general market and help link Premier League footballers.
And as almost always happens with this type of SBC’s, they allow John Barnes and Nemanja Vidic to try Prime Icons on loan for five games. You would have to complete much cheaper Squad Building Challenges.
