What are FIFA 23 Icon Swaps?
Icon Swaps is a regular FIFA event that allows players to get icons and other valuable rewards by spending Icon Swap Tokens. These tokens can be obtained by completing various in-game objectives that appear during the event. Generally, these objectives are fairly straightforward, and can be completed within a few matches. You can get pretty good rewards from the event even if you are not focused on playing FIFA.
Once you've collected your tokens from completing objectives, you can plug them into SBCs to claim any reward of your choice. Each SBC has a different required number of tokens, so it all depends on how long you're willing to grind for tokens.
Icon Swaps is divided into three chapters that are released between major FIFA events like TOTY and others. Every further chapter includes better rewards proportional to general players’ ratings. As a result, Icon Swaps 1 will have the lowest ratings of all icons, but should still be worth your time.
