In FIFA 19 icons are among the top cards, but they are often expensive and hard to get. We show you cheap icons that can strengthen any team.
Update 09.04.19: If you are looking for all icons in FIFA 20, you can find them here with ratings.
In the meantime, prices for many icons have dropped significantly, especially base icon cards have become affordable for many players.
While they are still not very cheap, you can get very strong cards with great links for your team chemistry for under 500,000 coins.
These are the advantages of icon cards: In FUT, icons have the unique advantage of generating at least one yellow link with every card. This is possible because icons are not assigned to any club or league. This is quite helpful for your team’s chemistry.
Michael Ballack
An excellent choice for the CM or CDM position is Michael Ballack in his base icon version with an overall rating of 86.
Why the card is interesting: The base icon card of Michael Ballack has solid values in all important areas. He has a strong shot and very good passing stats. He also boasts 4-star skill moves and 4-star weak foot.
Defensively, the card also has a lot to offer, but with the chemistry style “Shadow,” Ballack becomes a fantastic player for the CDM position.

Rui Costa
A good player for the attacking midfield is Rui Costa.
Why the card is interesting: The stats of the Portuguese leave little to be desired in this price segment. He is fast, has strong dribbling and passing stats, and a good shot. He also has 4-star skills and 4-star weak foot.
A well-rounded strong card for the CAM, where one looks in vain for weaknesses.

Hidetoshi Nakata
Another strong option for the attacking midfield is the Prime Icon card of Hidetoshi Nakata.
Why the card is interesting: With an overall rating of 88, this Prime Icon may seem unassuming, but don’t let that fool you. This card is an outstanding and affordable choice for the attacking midfield.
His stats are strong. Especially his speed, passing stats and dribbling are worth highlighting. However, his shooting stats are also good, especially in combination with the 4-star weak foot rating. His only weakness is his physical stats, where Nakata could certainly be a bit stronger.
Current prices:
- PS4: 350,000
- Xbox One: 317,000
- PC: 500,000
Marco van Basten
You get a fantastic striker with the base icon card of Marco van Basten.
Why the card is interesting: With this card, you get a true striker. The offensive stats are fantastic, he is fast and has decent dribbling.
Especially noteworthy are his shot stats. These are, in combination with his 4-star weak foot, extraordinarily strong and difficult to surpass. Therefore, it shouldn’t be hard to score many goals with this card.
