    Yup I distinctly remember the announcement saying that you can get tokens from SBCs too.

    Maybe not for the first batch.

    Or maybe there WILL be an SBC right at the end to give you one final easy chance to get an additional token in case you missed one.

    Maybe the 24th one? Which is why Drogba costs 23.

    I hope SBCs aren't required. Its better this way as I've not spent any FP and am not trading crazy to spend hundreds of thousands of coins

    I doubt any SBC connected with this will be too expensive.

    As with all sbcs, make sure you keep enough players in your club to complete the easy ones... Match ups etc.

    Could be a double bluff, I mean technically u have to dfo an SBC to obtain your icon using your tokens???

    Could be a case of they see how many tokens people get and how many people get them and think they need to make the next 12 harder

    This is technically true.

    Anyway I'd honestly rather pay 20k to do an SBC instead of wasting hours on certain objectives. Like when I saw this batch of online objectives, I knew instantly that I'd have trouble with the Ligue 1 one because I didn't have decent first-owned players. True enough, I took the longest time on this – 9 losses, 3 wins. The rest were all easily done within 3-5 games. If I had the option of just paying 20k or even more from the beginning to avoid this nonsense, I would have gladly paid.

    These Icons aren’t worth the time or coins except the ones where you get drogba or a Icon pack. And even those are for me not worth the effort. Its a grind, a grind that costs more time then learning to trade and make the coins to get beter icons. So my tip to everybody is: don’t waist your time doing these watch some YouTube video’s and read some post on how to trade.

    Uhm, how about you do what you do, and for those of us that just want to play, and not trade, do what we do.

    250K for Schweinsteiger is just one ecample showing EA has no idea what they are doing. Keep that in mind when thinking what kind of mess they could do with the second batch for icon swaps

    And how many mugs would actually do schweinsteiger not many who are sane, 600k on a 2nd batch icon is crazy unless they are all amazing players

    You dont get the point here:

    All those who would love to do Schweinsteiger wont do it now beause it is far to expensive = results in disapointed, angry players

    All those that would love to have all tokens for Icons will get super angry if EA includes expensive SBC in second batch. 6x100K was just an example. 4x100K would still cause riot around here.

    Edit: I was just trying to point out how much stupid decisions EA has made this year in only one month of the game, so be prepared to expect more....
    I am not defending it at all. It is the opposite actually.

    What would be the point in paying 600k in sbc costs when you can pick icons up for less?

    THAT IS THE POINT !!! EA making up things that make no sense at all. Dont you get it?????

    Examples needed in the past:
    look at almost every SBC this year = way to expensive
    Several early Icon SBC last year: (way) more expensive than buing the Icon on the market

    Uhm maybe read back what I wrote. I quote’ for ME not worth the effort’ and ‘My TIP to everybody: don’t waist your time’ .

    Never said you are dumb or stupid to do these just have some pointers on how to get a Icon that is worth a little more. And how it goes with Tips and pointers you are welcome to use them or just put them aside. So read first then judge.
