I was three matches into a FUT weekend and the 91+ Encore Icon Upgrade SBC popped up—bright, promising, and oddly calm. You know that cold tick of possibility when a single SBC could rewrite your starting XI. I paused, opened the window, and decided to map the odds before I spent a single coin.
The 91+ Encore Icon Upgrade SBC in FC 26 guarantees a legend and restricts the pool to 91-rated cards and above. I’ll walk you through the full reward pool, which names matter to your squad, and how to use FUT Web or the EA Sports Companion App to track this one while it’s live.
At midnight I refreshed the rewards list — Complete list of 91+ Encore Icon Upgrade SBC rewards in FC 26
The pool splits into five recognizable pillars: Time Warp, Future Stars, TOTY, FUT Birthday, and Trophy Titans. Each group contains targets with real tactical value for different team styles. This pool is a vault of legends, and you’ll want to pick which vault key matters to your squad.

On my second cup of coffee I made a short list — How to approach the SBC and what to chase
I use FUT Web and the EA Sports Companion App to keep tabs on SBC windows while I’m away from the console. Pick your priority: chemistry-friendly legends for Online Seasons and FUT Champions, or headline pieces to sell back for coins later. The SBC reads like a treasure map; pick the X that matches your squad need.
What is the 91+ Encore Icon Upgrade SBC?
It’s a guaranteed-icon SBC that pulls from the 91+ pool above. You submit the required squads and receive a guaranteed icon rated 91 or higher. If you’re targeting midfield control, names like Maradona (CAM 96) or Xavi (CM 93) jump off the list; for attack, Pele, Henry, and Zlatan are the obvious magnets.
How much does the 91+ Encore Icon Upgrade SBC cost?
Costs shift by platform and market timing; the cheapest route is often using untradeable squad leftovers, or rotating through SBC sets on FUT Web to buy consumables and packs at lower prices. I recommend watching FUT markets on both PlayStation and Xbox windows via the Companion App to spot dips.
Is it worth doing the 91+ Encore Icon Upgrade SBC?
That depends on your goals. If you want an instant squad impact and hate opening packs, yes—especially since the pool removes sub-91 filler. If you aim to flip for coins, pick moments when the market is sleepy and post your target on FUT transfer channels and Reddit threads for real-time price checks.
By the time my coffee cooled I’d narrowed my chase — Final thoughts and who to aim for
Prioritize by role: defenders and goalkeepers hold value across modes; elite attackers move the needle in Division Rivals. Use FUT Web or the Companion App to compare BIN prices before you burn coins. If you want a single rule: chase the card that fixes the single biggest hole in your starting XI.
Which legend will you chase and why?
