On January 9, EA Sports released three new FUT Icon Squad Building Challenges for FIFA 21. Thanks to these new Squad Building Challenges, Kaka, Michael Owen, and Irish footballer Roy Keane all have FIFA 21 Icon player items available through special SBCs. And like other Icon Squad Building Challenges that previously went live in FIFA 21, Roy Keane’s SBC won’t be easy or cheap.
