May update: Icons are among the best and most expensive cards in Ultimate Team, since they are something really special. Everybody wants to play with a lot of Icons, and that's why we show you the best and cheapest OP Icons in FIFA 23.
We show you cheap FIFA 23 OP Icons that anybody can buy – at least if you play the game a little. At the end of this article we also take a look at the best and most expensive Icons, so if you have a well-filled PayPal account, you can check out the list with Ronaldo, Gullit, Ronaldinho and Co.
The gamble SBCs that EA throws out every few weeks are very risky, but some players are lucky enough to pack the best meta Icons. But be careful since some cards have fake stats and are not that good as you might think in game. We show you meta Icons that improve your squad for a fair amount of coins.
If you want to see which Icons you can get as an SBC (including Prime Rio Ferdinand) this is the way:
FIFA 23: Cheapest OP Icons – Update For May
First, we have to determine what it means to be a good and overpowered Icon and what the price-performance ratio should be. We can certainly agree that Ronaldinho is one of the best cards in the entire game, but the Brazilian magician is extremely expensive and therefore not affordable for most.
There's also no point in selling everything you own to have ONE awesome card while the rest of your team sucks. Football is a team sport, yada yada yada – that's why we show you Icons that are significantly cheaper – and are still among meta cards.
Since almost every Icon has a promo special card beside their Base, Mid and Prime versions, we keep you up to date on all Icons in FIFA 23:
Best Low Budget Icons In FIFA 23
Ther are no Icons in our list that cost more than 300k coins. You shouldn't pay more for OP Icons this time of the year, considering that TOTS cards are now coming that easily surpass the rating and stats of many Icons. Note that prices fluctuate constantly.

The Best And Most Expensive Icons In FIFA 23
If you have one of these Icons in your team, you have completed FIFA 23 Ultimate Team. It's always the same... a mate of yours finishes Division Rivals in a worse league with worse rewards than you, but then packs one of these Icons in our list below. Thanks for nothing, EA Sports...
We ranked the players by price and included each main position at least once. For these Icons, you need almost unlimited coins. No problem? Then check out the most expensive Icons in FIFA 23:

Ronaldinho and Ronaldo are by far the best and most expensive cards here, both would cost 15 million coins each if you can find them at all on the market. Extinct at 15 million coins.... crazy.
All Icons we have mentioned here fit into the current FIFA 23 meta, of course. Have fun trying out the cards, no matter if they are the good and cheap Icons or the best and most expensive ones in FIFA 23.
