All FC 26 TOTY promo players (Leaks) We are still a few days away from the expected start of the TOTY promo in FC 26 , but the first set of leaks has already started to appear on social media. Of course, we have the first confirmed card (of sorts), thanks to a promotion from EA Sports. Swedish Icon Zlatan Ibrahimovic will be part of the Team of the Year promo, but he won't be alone. While the main team will be selected by votes (there are more parameters), more cards will also be present by way of the Honorable Mentions and Icons. All FC 26 TOTY players (Leaks) The list of leaks so far is relatively small, as the voting will continue until Jan. 12. The voting will play a major role in determining who makes it to the starting XIs of both men's and women's football. The following Icons have been leaked on social media. Zlatan Ibrahimovic Lilian Thuram Jairzinho All versions of TOTY Icons will have double playstyle+, keeping to last year's trends. All three leaked cards could also be present in packs. We should be getting more leaks as we get closer to the release date of the promo. While most of the TOTY items will be part of packs, expect to have a couple of icons in SBCs. Typically, EA Sports will release Honorable Mentions in objectives and SBCs, which you can get without striking it lucky on a pack opening. The TOTY promo is also expected to feature Flashback SBCs, highlighting footballers who were part of previous Team of the Year promos. Last year, we had some excellent Flashback SBCs to complete. It will be interesting who we get this time around. There are also rumors of Icon Swaps returning during the TOTY promo. The Icon Swaps have been a popular feature of older Ultimate Team festivities. It's rumored that EA Sports will be returning the fan-favorite feature after years of requests from the community. The post All FC 26 TOTY promo players (Leaks) appeared first on Destructoid .

FC 26 Icon Swaps release date, what to expect, and more Icon Swaps is all set to make a return in FC 26 Ultimate Team if the latest social media leaks are to be believed. Almost all reputable X handle related to FC leaks have tweeted that EA Sports plans to bring back Icon Swaps to Ultimate Team after many years. Let's look at the possible release dates, along with what we can expect. Table of contents FC 26 Icon Swaps release date (expected) What to expect from FC 26 Icon Swaps FC 26 Icon Swaps release date (expected) According to leaks, the Icon Swaps will go live in approximately two weeks. If I had to guess, Icon Swaps could arrive on either Jan. 22 or 23. The full TOTY releases during the same time, and it will be an excellent way to celebrate the new launch. Only EA Sports knows when they plan on adding the Icon Swaps. Hence, take all the social media rumors and my own speculation with a grain of salt. If we do get updates about the release date, I will make the tweaks to this guide as well. What to expect from FC 26 Icon Swaps If you haven't played older Ultimate Teams, you might not have heard about Icon Swaps. In simple words, you get to earn tokens and then exchange them for Icons. Unlike opening packs, you get guaranteed rewards. Typically, bigger and better icons used to cost more tokens. The structure was similar to the Moments Mastery mode that we saw in FC 25 last year. However, there will be changes from the old system. Unlike older FIFA titles, FC 26 has multiple versions of many Icons. As of writing, I am unsure if EA Sports will only include Base Icons in the program. I am also interested in finding out how we will be getting the tokens. There should be an exclusive, performance-based objective. All said, things are looking pretty exciting if you're eager about adding guaranteed icons to your Ultimate Team squads.
