FIFA 19‘s FUTmas celebrations may be just around the corner but FUT Swap has returned for another month. The last couple of months have been very popular, with the likes of Flashback Pedro and Adam Lallana being available. The new FUT Swap players for December 2018 have arrived in the game, and it’ll take quite a bit of work to get them. Here’s everything you need to know about how to get FUT Swap items and players in FIFA 19 Ultimate Team for December 2018.

If you’re looking for January 2019’s FUT Swap players, beginning on Jan.1, you can check out everything you need to know here.

FUT Swap Players

First of all, here are the four players you are able to unlock from December’s FUT Swap in FIFA 19. They are:

  • Kevin Lasagne – ST – Udinese – 84 OVR (4 FUT Swap Items)
  • Jefferson Lerma – CDM – Bournemouth – 84 OVR (6 FUT Swap Items)
  • Layvin Kurzawa – LB – PSG – 84 OVR (9 FUT Swap Items)
  • Kevin Gameiro – ST – Valencia – 86 OVR (14 FUT Swap Items)

You unlock these players by completing SBCs for them. All you need to do is input the required number of FUT Swap items into the player SBC and you’ll be rewarded with them. Keep in mind that the requirements are slightly higher for December than they were in September, though. Simply head to the Squad Building Challenges part of FIFA 19, scroll along to FUT Swap Deals, and you’ll see them.

FUT Swap Items

Now for the complicated part of how to get FUT Swap items and players in FIFA 19. Between now and the first week of January, you will be given the chance to earn 14 FUT Swap Items. They will be special versions of players that you can either keep (not that you’d want to) or exchange in the FUT Swap player SBCs.

They will be offered in a variety of ways throughout the mode, such as Weekly Objectives, Squad Battles, and SBCs. Below is a rundown of everything you need to do to get the 14 FUT Swap items and players for December 2018. It will be updated throughout the month as more are released before the new year.
