EA Sports has unveiled its latest Icon SBC for EA FC 24 Ultimate Team, and it’s none other than the iconic French defender, Laurent Blanc. This former Manchester United center-back has become one of the most formidable and impressive defenders in the game this year, making this SBC a must-try for those looking to elevate their Ultimate Team roster.
The world of Icons has witnessed some significant changes in the latest EA FC 24 title. Legendary players now not only provide enhanced chemistry links, but they’ve also shed their multiple versions. Football legends like Laurent Blanc have transitioned to having a single base version, paving the way for more special cards in the future. As a result, their current items have become rarer and more sought-after.
Laurent Blanc, the Icon, is now available through the SBC in EA FC 24 Ultimate Team. Let’s delve into the details of what makes him a standout choice.

Laurent Blanc’s presence in the world of Ultimate Team dates back to the introduction of Legends and Icons. This longevity is a testament to the remarkable career and reputation he enjoyed. What’s even more astonishing is that his virtual counterpart matches his real-world prowess, making him one of the standout defenders in EA FC 24 and elevating the desirability of his Icon card.
Blanc not only boasts the stats and commanding physical attributes essential for an elite-tier defender, but he also possesses some of the most coveted PlayStyles in the game. PlayStyles, a recent addition to EA FC 24, elevate players’ abilities and enable them to surpass their base attributes.
