On July 4, EA Sports and the FIFA 21 team introduced a few new Icon Moments cards into SBCs. Included in the set is Samuel Eto’o, widely regarded as one of the best players to ever come out of Africa.

Solutions
Eto’o isn’t a cheap SBC compared to several you’ll see throughout the year; however, his price seems fair. Currently, he’s coming in at right around 900,000 coins, which is about 300,000 coins less than his card would cost on the market. That’s a decent deal, especially with all the fodder players have from ongoing promos. Here are some solutions to help you out.
Born Legend and Rising Star
Don’t go out and buy players for these SBCs. You just need to grab some rare bronzes and silvers and toss them into an SBC. With 76 days to complete this SBC, you’ll easily get these done over time.
