87 - Icon
I got Essien from mid icon upgrade. Was happy at first, because he would fit my team nicely and I could also use Zakaria next to him, but when I saw him in-game I was a bit disappointed because it wasn't what I expected. I can say that Zakaria is better than him, but I used Zakaria more like offensive CDM and Essien for defensive. He is really good defensively, but on the offence his only pro is passing. Besides that, I would say that if he went down in price for about 225-275k you should get him.
