Ranking System
The Battle Points you earn during the week will determine your Rank in the weekly competition.
Each Rank can only hold a certain percentage of the players competing in Squad Battles during the current weekly competition.
To get the highest rank, you will need to earn more Battle Points than all other players in the weekly competition.
The percentage breakdown of each Rank can be seen in-game.
So, this means you can change Squad Battles Rank even if you haven't done anything.
If you start off playing Squad Battles matches early in the week and earn a lot of Battle Points, you might initially be in a top Rank.
However, if you don’t continue playing matches throughout the rest of the week, other players can overtake you, meaning your Rank drops.
Objectives
Playing Squad Battles can earn you extra rewards through FUT 23 objectives.
Squad Battles objectives can be found in the main 'Objectives' menu and in the 'Milestones' section.
New objectives are added frequently, so it is always worth checking out the objectives section before you begin playing Squad Battles.
Once Icon Swaps rolls around, you will no doubt find that unlocking certain swaps tokens will require Squad Battles wins.
