EA has suspended all discretionary content granting indefinitely amid the ongoing EA Gate scandal that has rocked the FIFA series.
Earlier this week Eurogamer reported on how the FIFA community had unearthed direct messages that appeared to show an EA employee selling coveted Ultimate Team cards for thousands of pounds on the black market.
These direct messages mentioned FUT Icon cards in packages priced 750-1000 euros. In one WhatsApp message, three Prime Icon Moments cards were offered for 1700 euros.

Much like the Rui Costa Squad Building Challenge, FIFA players will need to complete seven different lineups of 11 players to fulfill everything needed for this SBC. Each lineup has a set amount of requirements that must be adhered to.
Earlier this week, FIFA fans accused an unknown EA Sports employee of selling FIFA Ultimate Team units directly to players’ accounts. These super-rare cards supposedly sell for thousands of dollars. EA has opened an investigation over the accusations.
