FIFA 22: When will the icon swaps come?

The icon swaps have been a popular way for players to get strong rewards in the past. When can you expect them in FIFA 22?

Was sind Icon Swaps? Icon swaps are a way of securing icons without using coins or exchanging teams in SBCs.

They usually consist of a series of tasks that have to be solved. For solving these challenges, you will then receive tokens that you can exchange for rewards.

Incidentally, last year swaps created an interesting phenomenon among gamers known as “golden goal mode”, which effectively consisted of cobbling the challenge goals to one another.

In FIFA 21, however, there were not only pure icon rewards, but also various packs. Among other things, the icon swaps offered two ultimate packs for 2 tokens or a mid / base icon pack for 10 tokens. But there were also direct icon rewards such as Rijkaard for 14 tokens or Henry for 17 tokens.

Important: There were never enough tokens to receive all of the rewards. Therefore you had to weigh up which one you wanted to secure.

At least a similar system can be expected for FIFA 22. EA confirmed at the start of the FUT season that Icon Swaps would return.

Only when – that is still open.

Are the Icon Swaps starting soon?

When will the Icon Swaps come to FIFA 22? There is no official start date for the Icon Swaps yet. But if you look back a year, Icon Swaps will be released soon: Icon Swaps 1 started in FIFA 21 together with the freeze event on December 11th.

It is conceivable that this year’s swaps will start as soon as the “Versus” event ends – on December 17th. Another possibility would be a start together with the coming season in FUT – which in turn starts on December 24th.

As soon as more information is known, we will keep you up to date!

Possible leaks on icon swaps: The fact that there is now increasing speculation about the start of the Icon Swaps is partly due to the fact that alleged leaks are making the rounds in the FIFA community as to which players could be there.

For example, the user “ImADuckQuackk” shared a list of icons that included names like Casillas, Ferdinand, Overmars, Desailly, Del Piero, Zambrotta and Rooney as possible rewards.

This, in turn, was borne out by well-known leakers such as FUT Donk (via Twitter) accepted. In addition, there will also be various pack rewards.

Important: Nothing has been officially confirmed in this regard. So it is quite possible that the icon swaps will be completely different.

While everyone is waiting for the icon swaps, the “Versus” event with the teams “Fire” and “Ice” is currently running. However, some players had apparently expected more here: The new event in FIFA 22 is currently causing criticism.
