EA Sports is getting players in the mood for the Team of the – Season (TOTS) in FIFA 22 Ultimate Team. Even before the start of the ingame highlight, plenty of packs can be hoarded to use for the TOTS event.

It’s entirely possible that new short-term promotions will keep appearing on Squad Building Challenges (SBCs) and Objectives in the coming days. Accordingly, it may be worth checking back daily to complete simple challenges.

Free packs thanks to Icon Swaps 3

The start of Icon Swaps 3 this week has created excellent opportunities to exchange free earnable tokens for high quality packs. So if you don’t want a guaranteed icon card from Roberto Carlos and co, you’d be well advised to grab the packs and use them for Team of the – Season .

There are four options in the first part of the current icon swaps for packs.

• 1 Token: 25x Pack (25 rare gold players, GES 82+).
• 2 Token: 25xPack (25 rare gold players, GES 83+)
• 3 Tokens: 25xPack (25 rare gold players, GES 84+)
• 5 Tokens: 20xPack (20 rare gold players, GES 85+)

You can already earn the first nine tokens via Objective tasks during Icon Swaps 3. So, for example, a combination of the 20xPack with 85+ players (5 tokens) and the first two packs would be possible.

The first phase of Icon Swaps 3 will last until May 23. Only after that the other nine tokens can be earned.

Double TOTS Warmup Challenge

The TOTS Warmup Series is living up to its name. Not one but two SBCs titled “TOTS Warmup Challenge” bring good packs to save for the upcoming in-game event. At the same time, one is significantly cheaper than the other. All in all, though, we’re talking about less than 20,000 coins worth of value to put in.

For the first and cheaper TOTS Warmup Challenge, you’ll receive a Prime Electrum Player Pack, which is worth 20,000 coins and is guaranteed to contain six rare gold players. All you have to do for this is trade in a team worth just under 5,000 coins. With surplus cards that can’t be traded anyway, this task is quickly accomplished.

For the second, you need to trade a team worth 10,000 coins that has a 95 team chemistry or better. As a reward you will get the Jumbo Premium Gold Player Pack, which would cost 50,000 coins in the store. There are 24 gold items in there, including at least six up to twelve players and seven rare items. Considering the upcoming TOTS maps, this is a sensible option.

The two SBCs will be available until Friday evening.

85+ x5 EFIGS Upgrade

The “85+ x5 EFIGS Upgrade” is also up for grabs by Friday night. This is more costly than TOTS Warmup Challenge in terms of value, but provides five players from the major leagues with an overall strength of 85 or better. The pack is yours for the equivalent of 60,000 coins.

Daily Login Upgrade

As the name suggests, a daily login will reward you. For a team worth around 8,000 coins, you’ll currently receive a pack of two rare players with an 81 overall rating or higher. A new upgrade SBC starts every 24 hours.

Top games SBC

The traditional top games SBC often makes sense. But especially for the TOTS event, it’s worth taking a look at the pack rewards. Through Thursday night, you’ll receive 115,000 coins worth of packs.

The main reward alone, the Prime Gold Player Pack, would cost 45,000 coins in the store. This contains twelve gold players and six of them are rare. For the four teams to be given away, you need to factor in players worth around 40,000 coins.

Objectives

Right before the start of the TOTS event on April 29th, the objectives are still limited. However, hardworking players will be rewarded for milestone tasks.

The Silver Squad and Bronze Squad milestones are recommended. For both tasks active playing is the basic requirement. Because there are a lot of requirements. After all, these are easy to master like “Win 6 matches with a complete silver team in any game mode”. Thus, the tasks are kept simple.

As the main reward for the completed milestones, you will each receive a Rare Player Pack, which would cost 50,000 coins in the store. It contains twelve rare gold players, making it ideal for the TOTS event as well. Along the way, you’ll also pick up other useful content like Premium Gold Player Packs.
