When football fans think about all-time great Mexican strikers, the name Hugo Sanchez comes to mind, however, there's one more forward worthy of being recognised with an Icon card in the FIFA series -- Luis Hernandez.
While his club career may appear overwhelming, El Matador as he's often referred to, made a name for himself during the 1998 FIFA World Cup held in France, where he scored four goals, with teams like Netherlands and Germany as his standout victims.
EA Sports wants to celebrate the career of Hernandez by giving players a chance to acquire it via an SBC, or Squad Building Challenge, which will run all the way through the 25th of December.
So, want to know what you need to get him? Here's every requirement, cheap solutions, and Hernandez's stats courtesy of FUTBIN.

His initial 85 OVR might turn some heads away from this card, but right away, his impressive Pace stats that both surpass the 90s are noteworthy.
His Finishing (86), Dribbling (86), and Agility (91) compliment that incredible speed of his, making him a hard to get centre forward that's capable of creating his own chances.
An underrated aspect of his stats is his Heading Accuracy, which sits at 90. Pair it with good Positioning (86) and he'll be sure to bag a few from corners or set pieces.
