FIFA 20’s first bout of Icon Swaps is about to begin. From Oct. 11 through until December, players will have the chance of completing various objectives to nab themselves one (or maybe more) of 23 Icon cards to strengthen their Ultimate Team. There’s a lot to digest here, so we’re going to guide you through it all. Here’s FIFA 20 Icon Swaps 1 explained, including all players, how to get them, and more.
FIFA 20 Icon Swaps 1 Explained
Before FIFA 20 even came out, EA had shared information on how Icon Swaps will run this year. There will be three different periods of Icon Swaps throughout the year, with this being the first.
Each Icon Swaps will contain at least 20 individual Icon cards that will be untradeable. Players will need to complete various objectives to earn Player Tokens, which can then be redeemed for a specific Icon card.
The amount of Player Tokens you need will vary depending on the card, so expect ones like Wright, Drogba, and Ferdinand to probably cost you more than someone like Giggs (who deserves better, but that’s for another day).
