Iconswap Player Review

I currently have 12 tokens and have a hard time deciding which player(s) to choose or whether it is worth it to continue grinding instead of trading the tokens with players, such as Roberto Carlos/ Crespo/ Nesta/ Pep. I'm sure there a lot of you who are on the same boat as me.
Can anyone who have traded their tokens give review to the player(s) you trade them with? Would be very useful to those of us who are still on the fence. Thanks!

    I sniped Baby Ferdinand from the market yesterday and tried him all the evening, just to be sure he could be a good choice from icon swaps.

    I’ve been happy of this test, seems to be a great defender for this stage of the game, fit my stile better than Scream Pique, tempted to pair him with RTTF Gomez if tomorrow I’ll pick high rated untradable players from rivals

    Go for the Base Icon Pack because its fun and you have the chance to get a huge card. I went for it yesterday and got Garrincha, which I'm obviously very happy about!

    Good to hear that it worked out well, although this game is so inconsistent you might have different experience with the swap version lol.

    Not falling for this as with my pack luck I can almost guarantee I am going to end up with base Lehmann

    Hes a very good card but I hate that as an argument to pick a player for 2 reasons.
    1. Even if you only use enjoy a player for a few months and then move on, for that few months they were worth getting as building your team up at this stage is one if the most fun parts.
    2. What might be end game for some is different for others, If that Zanetti was in my final team it will be a very poor year of Fut for me as I would usally be able to get an elite Tots for 200k anyway or hopefully Zambrotta or Alberto and for alot of others he wont be final team worthy.
    But for some even a Hagi Prime or a Keane Prime will last all game as they might have a standard gold team around them with the odd untradeable card.

    Yea best choice by far in terms of longevity, think he could be an awesome cb as his jumping don't matter on this game.

    With this RTTF Mbabu for free I wouldn’t choose at all a RB right now

    He is already OP, if they go to eliminations round he’ll be a beast

  • @Riotiga I took Crespo last night and in my first rivals game he scored 3. I was planning on Gerrard or someone worth more tokens but it would take me ages to get there and wanted to enjoy an icon now rather than keep having to wait

    Who does he play like? Yedder, Dembele? And how's his positioning given he is M/M?

    Loved his NIF but his RTTF is really really underwhelming so far

    Ouch that's bad. Heard he is not as bad as he was in 19 though, so might as well try to fit him into your team

    I think I am gonna go for rio and guardiola. Apart from crespo none of the attackers I am interested in and I do like to chop and change my attackers. Defender will be a main stay for me

    This is the first bad word I've heard about him. In the few games I've played with him so far, he's been otherworldly for me. Sometimes you just 'know' with a player. I felt it immediately with Militao, and I get the same vibe from Mbabu. Maybe it was just the elation of finally completing him!

    Yeah, he is very tempting as well but I am still not sure if I want to have an untradeable Striker who will not be as good in another position. If I go for Butra, for example, I could always play him CCAM or wide CAM if I stumble upon a better/comparable striker

    Am I the only one thinking of going for Steven Gerrard? Had his moments icon last year and was an impressive box to box CM.

    nope im taking him, need a better cm than sissoko/pogba next to kante that would also give me full chem to red walker and objective politano 8 chem so Stevie is the obvious choice

    I thought about him since he is so versatile but I’m not a fan of him in real life so it’s putting me off it.

    No your first impression is right. He is fantastic.

    Might just be me then, lost way more one on one than I did with the NIF card. Maybe it’s a case of over expectations, but it made me decide to go with Zanetti.

    I'm sure Zanetti is in another league so no loss mate but I find Mbabu so much fun. I have never had a Bundesliga team for many years but this year I'm going to build one with him as my motivation.
