By Alfie Carrington••2 min read
The latest wave of challenges has arrived in FC 26 Ultimate Team with the brand new Icon Swaps: Bundesliga Objectives. This is your chance to earn a coveted Untradeable Icon Swaps Token, bringing you closer to securing a top-tier Icon for your squad. Beyond the token, this objective also offers exciting additional rewards, including an Untradeable player and valuable packs.
What is the Icon Swaps: Bundesliga Objective?
Icon Swaps are a fan-favorite feature in Ultimate Team, allowing players to earn special tokens through in-game objectives. These tokens can then be exchanged for various rewards, most notably untradeable Icon players. The Bundesliga installment of Icon Swaps provides an accessible pathway to add an important token to your collection, alongside a unique player reward. The main prize for completing this specific set is the Untradeable Joe Walsh card.
How to Complete Icon Swaps: Bundesliga
To secure your Icon Swaps Token and Joe Walsh, you'll need to tackle a straightforward set of sub-objectives. These challenges are designed to be completed by playing matches, focusing on basic in-game actions that any Ultimate Team player can achieve. Here are the specific requirements:
Win 6
Win 6 matches in the Live Event: Icon Swaps One League, with at least 8 First Owned Bundesliga players in your starting 11.
Score in 6
Score with a Chip Shot in 6 separate matches in the Live Event: Icon Swaps One League, with at least 8 First Owned Bundesliga players in your starting 11.
Assist in 5
Assist with a Through Ball in 5 separate matches in the Live Event: Icon Swaps One League, with at least 8 First Owned Bundesliga players in your starting 11.
Untradeable Rewards & Value
Beyond the primary Icon Swaps Token and the Untradeable Joe Walsh player item, completing these objectives also grants you three 75+ Rated Rare Player Packs. While these packs don't guarantee a walkout, they offer multiple chances to pull high-rated fodder for Squad Building Challenges (SBCs) or even an unexpected gem to bolster your starting XI. Given that these rewards are untradeable, they are excellent for building up your club's depth and providing valuable resources without impacting your coin balance.
Strategy for Efficient Completion
These objectives are cumulative and can be tackled simultaneously. Focus on using a Bundesliga-heavy squad to naturally complete the Win 6, Score in 6, and Assist in 5 challenges. Playing in Squad Battles on a lower difficulty or in a friendly game mode can help you control the matches and ensure you hit all the requirements quickly. Prioritize passing plays in the box to get those assists, and don't be afraid to take shots with multiple players to secure the scoring objective.
