The time has come! Icon Swaps for the last time in FIFA 21. You can earn the best legends. From Zidane to Pelé to Maradona, you have a lot of possibilities! So how do you get them? And is it worth sweating again even though FIFA 21 is nearly over? We tell you more!

I was always hyped on the icon swaps. Incredible legends for free, you make a few more coins when you play, it couldn't be better. So now there are the best legends in the game again for a few hours of play. Is it worth it? Difficult to answer...

The Best Legends in Icon Swaps 4!

So who can you get? Let's start with the players. You can get Kaká Moments for just 4 Icon Swaps, which is really damn cheap for the Brazilian. The Basis Icon fromEusébio costs you 6 Icon Swaps. In FIFA 20, I would have sat in front of the console for five days in a row to get the Portuguese for this price. But well. Times change.

The Prime card from the absolute legend Maradona costs you 9 Icon Swaps, Maldini and Zidane Moments cost you 15 and 17 Icon Swaps.

Pelé as a Mid Icon for 10 Icon Swaps is of course also worth it. And 10 tokens? I have time, so let me sweat it out!

Icon Swaps: Player Picks As A Great Option

If you can't decide which player to take, you can leave it to chance. I know, otherwise, these picks are always so random that there are more bad cards than playable cards to win. But this is also different this time.

For example, the 94+ Prime or Moments Striker Player Pick for 14 Icon Swaps is available. If you really want to have an Icon Moments Player Pick (five 94+ players to choose from!), you can earn it for a total of 16 tokens. What else does EA have on the menu?

A Moments or Prime Player Pick for 11 Icon Swaps, as well as a 95+ Icon Moments Pack (12 Tokens), 94+ Icon Moments Striker, or Midfield Pack (7 Tokens) or the 92+ Icon Moments Player Pick for 5 Icon Swaps.

In addition, like last time, you can earn the big 81, 83, and 84+ packs for very few tokens. However, this will be less worthwhile, as currently hardly any players are worth anything.

Is Icon Swaps 4 worth it?

Let me be clear: Players like Zidane are not worth it. Why? At this point, FIFA is not worth playing for a total of 17 tokens. The time required is huge, you can better sign other players who are quick and cheap to get on the transfer market.

But it is different with the picks. An Icon Moments Player Pick for 5 Icon Swaps is really nice. Not much time, the feeling of picking one player is amazing, and possibly, you earn a nice legend for your team. That makes you upset and is worth it (hopefully)! An Eusébio Baby-Icon is also not worthwhile for 6 tokens. Too weak values and this year simply not the meta.

So, our tip for you: Find the cheapest player picks and play for one of them! With a bit of luck, you will see a very good player here. The other packs are only suitable if you still have swaps left.

For the football romantics among you: Maradona, only for 9 Icon Swaps, also has its charm. Enjoying him again in all honor at the end of FIFA 21 can definitely be fun.

Same story with Pelé, who is really strong in FIFA this year and guarantees a lot of goals! So, why not earn 10 tokens? Take a look at all the options and then decide. The choice is yours.

How Can I Earn Icon Swaps in FIFA 21?

Who would have thought? Similar to last time. Just look in the FUT menu for the Icon Swaps, and then the tasks will be listed. Friendlies, squad battles... it just hasn't gotten much more exciting. Even so, they are absolutely doable. Many players, many choices. So decide for yourself!
