Interesting.
Icons wont be used in SBCs too which is brilliant and quick sells are being lowered.
ICON Swaps in FUT 20
Alongside being able to purchase ICONs on the Transfer Market or finding them in Packs, in FUT 20 we are introducing ICON Swaps, a new way to allow players to unlock select ICONs in exchange for Player Tokens which can be earned by completing objectives you exchange. Simply put:
Complete Player Token Objectives.
Receive Player Tokens.
Redeem for ICON Rewards available in a Swaps release.
There will be 3 ICON Swaps released throughout the year.
Each ICON Swaps release will contain at least 20 individual ICONs (Untradeable).
Player Tokens can also be redeemed for select Guaranteed ICON Packs during each Swaps release.
Each ICON Swaps release will contain a range of ICON versions.
If an ICON has already been released in an ICON Swaps Release, it will not have any other versions released in a Future ICON Swaps Release.
ICON Swaps objectives will reflect the rewards on offer.
Each ICON Swaps release will have a unique set of Player Tokens tied to it.
Each Individual ICON in an ICON Swaps will require a certain number of Player Tokens in order to redeem.
Each Player Token can only be redeemed in that specific ICON Swaps release and does not roll over to the next ICON Swaps release.
The Player Tokens will be released over the duration of each ICON Swaps release.
Similar to FUT Swap Deals, you will need to choose which ICONs you want to unlock based on how many Player Tokens you have earned.
ICON Swaps 1 will be released October 11th, 2019 and will run to December. ICON Swaps 1 also allows you to earn select Prime ICON players before they go into packs. It will feature the following ICONs with their specific version detailed in the image below:

Drogba looks tempting from swaps 1.
I'm not trying to be a pain in the ass but if folks could detail their moves and ideas for FUT this year I'd be appreciative cause I'm trying to go without buying packs (though that'll probably last a day if even.)
I always see you all stocking up on certain players/teams and I'm just really beyond my depth.
Guys have like 30 Allan cards and turn them into millions by November whereas I'm pretty sure I sunk over $500 if not more on packs last year.
Do the bronze pack method (I will be doing this as I sunk way too much money in over 18 and 19) and it can make you loads (especially at the start) but it does need a lot of time.
Unfortunately, the more I read and take in on FIFA 20, the more I feel myself getting pulled back in. The start of FUT is always the most rewarding, but I know I can save so much time in my life if I don't get it this year.
You're basically a prostitute with a meth addiction at this point. Just give in Thomas.
The icon news is brilliant and makes me think I may not go fully pack only this year.
If he can be picked up for 63k, then I'd even have a go with players like Inzaghi, for example.
I do however, think I'm going to aim for a 2 year cycle with this version, which means I can take things at a much slower pace and actually enjoy whatever team I end up with come July.
Oh and that 85 Guardiola might actually be the worst icon card ever.
I like how they have shit icons. I would like to see more lower-rated icons added. Especially at full-back.
I imagine he will cost all the tokens but I think Rio is the man from that first batch. His base is always godly.
Just noticed that the Zanetti prime card is also invovled. Last year it had awful jumping, but if back post crossing isnt super strong. Thats me.
Mahow's an enabler. He needs other people around him to tell him this is normal.
The web app is out. It begins!
People are getting regular golds out of their OTW preorder packs
I purchased the "EA SPORTS™ FIFA 20 Ultimate Edition + Limited Time Bonus* (Full Game)" but I've just got a load of shit packs. Where's the OTW pack?
Will come with the full release. I'd imagine.
I don't have mine.
PS4 players saying they didn’t get it. Others saying it just had a gold card in it
Sony fucked up on PS4 side but they say they'll sort it.
Hearing that all PC players (with the Ultimate) got a OTW pack even if they missed the deadline.
Is there a daily gift on the app?
If not I’d rather do my team on the actual game tomorrow.
I'm hoping this comes out on EA Access at midnight tonight or something
Right, well I have EA Access anyway so I will play the 10 hours, and see how I feel. Hopefully it will completely turn me off the full game. Tempted to pop on the web app now and see what I get in the starter packs though...
I can’t even find the web app on iPhone.
Is the early access out yet?
No.
Can't even pre-load.
What type of playthrough are you going with Mahow?
I'm in.
Notable/80+ players from the welcome/starter packs:
88 Aubameyang - Loan (5 games)
82 Lecomte
80 Musacchio
81 Milivojevic
80 Joaquin
80 Radu
84 Paulinho (still looks beastly)
80 Inigo Martinez
80 Livakovic
90 Van Dijk - Loan (7 games)
84 Sancho - Loan (7 games)
79 Vinicius Junior - Loan (7 games)
89 Ian Rush - Loan (5 games)

Pogba and van Dijk on loan. I've got a Dutch starter team for my 10 hours.
Why does the "Your Rank" tab in squad battles still not show you how many points you need to get to get a rank?
What batch of packs did you get? I didn't manage to get an Icon on loan either.
I got 4 All Players Packs, 2 Gold Packs, a Loan Pack, an Icon loan pack and 2 Rare Gold Packs (presumably from the Ultimate Edition).
EDIT: Oh and a kit pack full of wank.
I got all but the last two on the web app, I anticipate getting the latter when I have the game downloaded and log in
What’s the Pukki SBC looking like? Gotta love an early cheap POTM
Seems easy enough. Will be doing that.
Oh and I don't know what to do on the pack only side of things.
A load of the objectives are based around buying players, which is obviously a non starter if I can't use the transfer market.
Nesta as my loan icon which is solid.
First walkout.
IF Gerard Moreno.
First Legendary SB and it's a win. Won on penalties after a 3-3 draw. Bradley Wright-Phillips turned my defence inside out constantly.
Squad right now is:
It's so bad. Not using the loanees until I decide to go online.
Played a couple of games on Squad Battles, winning 3-0 and 5-2 against the team of the week with the squad above.
Plays a really nice game of football this. Hopefully they don't patch it to arse.
Bateson probably pays the salary for half the FIFA team over the course of a title.
If my maths is correct that's £11,590.39 worth of points. Assuming he's paying directly from Xbox store with the Access discount, could be a little less if he's using CDkeys or whatever. Day one.
