The Cost
This SBC is priced at a massive 2,078,400 coins and requires 23 squads to complete. At first glance this is a really fair price for what looks to be an elite tier card.
Here’s the breakdown on the cards you’ll need to complete the various squads for this SBC:
- 6x TOTW cards
- 10x 90-rated cards
- 20x 89-rated cards
- 80x 88-rated cards
- 32x 87-rated cards
- A mix of 83-rated to 86-rated cards.
As you can see, this SBC is no small feat. Unless you’ve been saving packs and stacking your club with high-rated dupes for months, completing this will cost you some serious coins.
Breaking Down the Squads
You will need to complete twenty three squads, here’s a quick look at what each individual squad requires:
Born Legend: You’ll need a full Bronze Rare squad
Rising Star: You’ll need a full Silver Rare squad
On a Loan: You’ll need an 84 rated squad.
The Cannon: You’ll need an 85 rated squad, with a player from Real Madrid.
League Legend: You’ll need an 86 rated squad, with a TOTW and a player from La Liga.
86-Rated Squad: You’ll need two 86 rated squads.
Top Notch: You’ll need an 86 rated squad, with a TOTW.

You’ve got about 9 weeks to complete this SBC, which is the standard timeframe for icon SBCs. Realistically, if you’re looking to complete it without spending significant coins, you’ll need this time to steadily grind and chip away at the requirements.
Is it worth it?
Now, let’s talk about value. The 92-rated TOTY Icon Bale SBC is priced at around 2 million coins, which, when compared to other elite-tier cards, is actually very reasonable. His base card was priced higher than this for quite some time as well.
As expected, there’s a long list of positives for this card, but let’s focus on the highlights. The most notable is his blistering pace combined with the Rapid PlayStyle+, making him unstoppable in full sprint. He’s also incredibly versatile, able to play RW, LW, and ST, with a Role++ for all three positions, meaning he’s perfectly suited to any role across the front three.
The few negatives about this card are the lack of passing PlayStyles, which could limit his effectiveness in build-up play, and his slightly low balance and agility. Combined with his body type, this might make him feel a bit heavier on the ball than some players would prefer.
Overall I think this is a great SBC, it is priced really fairly and the card is amongst some of the best on the game, so this is definitely a card I would recommend if you are looking to bolster your attack.
