How the 89+ Campaign Icon Player Pick Works
Unlocking Legends: 89+ Campaign Icon Player Picks Take Over FC 25 Ultimate Team
EA Sports has again brought the heat with one of the most exciting additions to FIFA 25 Coins Ultimate Team: the 89+ Campaign Icon Player Picks. This latest content drop sends shockwaves through the FUT community, offering players a golden opportunity to bring legendary firepower into their squads like never before.
The player pick features ICONS with an overall rating of 89 or higher, selected from recent special campaign versions, making it far more than just a nostalgic nod to buy FC 25 Coins football’s greats. These aren't your base ICON cards — they're juiced-up versions from themed promos like TOTY ICONs, Trophy Titans, and more. That means we’re talking about peak-performance cards of historic football figures, designed to compete with the best of modern FUT meta players.
How the 89+ Campaign Icon Player Pick Works
The SBC (Squad Building Challenge) for the 89+ Campaign Icon Player Pick is relatively expensive but for good reason. You're choosing from three ICON players, all 89-rated or higher, and all pulled from boosted campaign versions. The odds of hitting a truly game-changing card like Zidane, Ronaldinho, or TOTY Matthäus are significantly higher than with regular icon packs or picks.
Completing the SBC typically requires submitting high-rated squads with chemistry requirements, so you'll need to plan. Saving up FUT fodder from packs or grinding through objectives is a must if you want to take your shot without emptying your club.
Is It Worth It?
Absolutely — but with a little risk. The FUT community has already seen some insane pulls shared across social media, from Prime-level Ronaldinhos to unstoppable CAM versions of Gullit and Baggio. However, not every pick will be a home run. Some players have reported underwhelming options, like outdated icons or ones that don't quite fit the current gameplay style.
That said, the thrill of the gamble is half the fun, and with the guaranteed 89+ rating tied to special campaigns, the floor for these picks is much higher than usual. Even if you don't land a top-tier ICON, you’re still likely to receive a card that can start in your squad or become a super sub.
Best ICONs to Hope For
If you're lucky enough to see one of these legends in your player pick, you may want to lock them in instantly:
Zinedine Zidane (TOTY ICON) – The complete midfielder, dominant in both playmaking and physical presence.
Ronaldinho (FUT Birthday ICON) – 5-star skills, electrifying dribbling, and flair for days.
Lothar Matthäus (Trophy Titans) is arguably one of the best CDMs in the game.
Thierry Henry (TOTY ICON) – Speed, power, and lethal finishing.
Final Thoughts
The 89+ Campaign Icon Player Pick is a thrilling new way to add iconic talent to your FC 25 Ultimate Team. While the grind or investment can be steep, the potential payoff is equally massive. For many FUT fans, this might be the perfect moment to roll the dice and rewrite their squad's legacy with one of football's true greats.
