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.

If you don't have the coins in your account, you can also try the "lower versions" of these Icons – as long as you don't see "Base" in brackets. Try them yourself, they will improve your squad. And nobody really wants to play all year with Mbappé and Co. in attack... Show Icons some love!

If you pack one of the best and most expensive Icons in FIFA 23, you'll know what Icon love means...

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.
