The Prime Icon Moments Dalglish card was originally released on Feb. 19 but it only got an SBC this month along with 93-rated Kenny Dalglish and 93-rated Alessandro Del Piero.

The 91-rated Prime Icon Moments Essien has high skills, such as 91-rated Defending, 91-rated Physical, and 88-rated Pace, for a central defensive midfielder. He also has three-star skill moves and a four-star weak foot.

This is the weakest card out of the three Prime Icon Moments cards added but it offers strong links with other legendary Prime Icon Moments players, such as 99-rated Pelé, 98-rated Diego Maradonna, 97-rated Ronaldo, 97-rated Zinedine Zidane, and 95-rated Ferenc Puskás.

You can apply the engine chemistry style to boost his Passing (+6), Pace (+5), and Dribbling (+5) even further and maximize his Balance while greatly increasing his Dribbling, Crossing, and Curve. Or you could apply the anchor chemistry style to increase his Physical (+6), Pace (+5), and Defending (+5), maximizing all of his Strengh, Interception, Standing and Sliding Tackle.

This version of Essien costs around 1,300,000 FUT coins on PlayStation 4, 1,009,000 on Xbox One, and is a lot more expensive on PC at 1,489,000 FUT coins. Since it’s a Prime Icon Moments card, it’s normal to expect such high prices, but this can still be considered a little expensive for the market.

This Prime Icon Moments Essien SBC will be available until June 12. If you want to complete it, you’ll have to turn in eight squads in total: Born Legend, Rising Star, Top-notch, The Bison, Los Blancos, Ligue 1 Experience, League Legend, and League Finesse. Eight squads is a lot to complete, but you’ll have almost two months to do everything. It will cost you a lot as well, so if you want this card, save your FUT coins to build some squads.

The first solution asks for Rare Bronze players with 50 chemistry minimum. The second one needs to have Rare Silver players with 50 chemistry minimum. The third one needs to be an 82-rated squad with 80 chemistry minimum, one Inform card or Red pick, and at least one player from Celtic.

The fourth segment asks for an 83-rated squad with 75 chemistry minimum, one Inform card or Red pick, and at least one player from Chlsea. The fifth one requires an 85-rated squad with 70 chemistry minimum, one Inform card or Red pick, and at least one player from Real Madrid.

The sixth squad asks for an 86-rated squad with 65 chemistry minimum, one Inform card or Red pick, and at least a player from Conforama. The seventh team needs to be an 87-rated squad with 50 chemistry minimum and at least one player from Premier League. Lastly, the eighth one requires an 88-rated squad with 45 chemistry minimum and one player from LaLiga.
