Mid Icon Sanchez SBC
Sanchez has always been one of those Icons in FIFA that is not overly sought after, and if you were to pack him from a guaranteed Icon SBC, you would likely be disappointed.
From a first look, Sanchez is someone who may appeal to some with a number of standout stats at this stage of the game, including 91 finishing and dribbling.
Is Mid Hugo Sanchez Lengthy?

Sanchez has 3-star skills and a 3-star weak foot, which is usable to an extent for those who may get caught on Sanchez’s weaker side. He has high attacking and medium defensive work rates.
Sanchez was 250,000 coins on the market before the SBC was released, and has not moved since it was released. So how well has EA priced this SBC?

Is it worth completing the Sanchez SBC?
As with every Icon SBC, let's kick things off with the reminder that regardless of whether you plan to complete the full SBC or not, please make sure you always complete the Born Legend and Rising Star segments. The reason for this is that you are clearing out some bronze and silver players to get Four tradable rare golds in total, and there's always that chance of packing something amazing.
EA has priced the Sanchez SBC poorly however in relation to his card on the market, however with the options available for the price, these go against Sanchez, but regardless it's definitely something that you can craft towards over the next month with duplicate untradables that you need to get rid of as well as objective and rewards, but is it worth focusing on?
Complete or Yeet? Yeet. With what is available at this stage of the game, he is certainly one card which may appeal to some who strive for every card, but sadly with the current chemistry system and other options best to pass on the card.
