In FIFA 18 Ultimate Team, there is a new event: The FUT Swap Deals. This is how you can obtain the FUT Swap player items to exchange them for better cards.
Update 10.07.2018: Everything about the “new” Swap Deals in FIFA 19 can be found in this article.
Original announcement:
Between FUT Birthday and the Team of the Season, there is normally an event lull in Ultimate Team. Now EA has launched a new promo: The FUT 18 Swap Deals.
The FUT Swap Deals start today, on April 4th and end on April 27th. So you have plenty of time to obtain your swap items and exchange them for one of 12 upgraded swap players.
This is how you can obtain the FUT Swap player items
You can collect 12 FUT Swap player items throughout the entire promo. These items are untradeable, have their own design, and are not upgraded.
There are three ways to obtain the player items:
- The Daily Knockout Tournament: The first player, Negredo, could be obtained through a DKT, next week Mendy will be available
- Weekly Objectives: Last week, for example, you received a FUT Swap player for playing 15 matches
- Squad Building Challenges: FUT Swap player SBCs will be live for 24 hours during the event, and you can also get a FUT Swap player through the Featured Matches
In the meantime, it has been possible to obtain all 12 FUT Swap players, two through the DKT, five through Weekly Objectives, one through the Featured Match SBC, and four through special SBCs.
This is what you can do with the FUT Swap player items
If you have received one or more FUT Swap player items, you can now exchange them in one of the FUT Swap Deals.
You have the following options available:
- Premium Gold Pack (1 FUT Swap Item)
- Keita Balde Diao (2 FUT Swap Items)
