The Road to the Final promo has just begun in FIFA 22 Ultimate Team, and there is another massive event set to join it.

How to prepare for Icon Swaps 2
We’ve seen what EA released for Icon Swaps 1, so we can predict how best to prepare for the upcoming set of objectives.
First owned Requirement was brought back in for FUT 22, with some Icon Swaps Objectives being tailored towards Friendlies with various squad restrictions, so make sure you:
- Save good first owned players from the Top 5 Leagues (Premier League, La Liga, Bundesliga, Serie A & Ligue 1)
- Save good players from popular Nations (Argentina, Brazil, England, France, Germany, Spain, Italy, Portugal, Netherlands & Belgium)
- Complete SBCs for usable meta cards from the Top 5 Nations & Top 5 Leagues
We expect to see the same format as we saw with Icon Swaps 1, which will mean three sets of winning 6 matches in a Live FUT Friendly mode, with at least 8 First Owned players from a certain league or nation in your starting squad; five sets of winning 6 matches in Squad Battles, with a full squad of players from a certain league or nation or First Owned; and winning FUT Champions matches.
Investment opportunity
The Squad Battle objectives that were released in Icon Swaps 1 did not all require first owned players, but required players from specific leagues.
Should these objective requirements return, many players will be looking to purchase cards from specific non-top 5 leagues.
Once the objectives are released the demand for these cards will spike massively.
So, it is worth purchasing players from non-top 5 leagues now and then selling when their price increases in a few days time.
The more cards you buy, the more profit you will make.
