SWAPS ARE BACK! Season 3 is here and has kicked off with a bang. Not only do we have some insane cards through the Season Pass, but also so many cool cards available via Mode Mastery!
Season 3 Rewards
Usually the Season Pass is the most important on release day but I’ll keep this short and just include the main player rewards, other levels are filled mostly with Player Picks which makes a nice change!
Level 5 - Foundations Bou or Medel
Level 7 - Foundations Cardozo or Piovi
Level 10 - World Tour Paredes
Level 15 - Foundations Quintero
Level 20 - Foundations Acuna
Level 25 - Winter Champions Strand Larsen AND Munoz
Level 32 - Winter Champions Gundogan
Level 35 - Winter Champions Konate
How do Winter Champion Upgrades work?
Each of the 4 Winter Champion cards in the season pass are live, meaning they are eligible for upgrades! As if Konate wasn’t good enough already…
Strand Larsen and Munoz - Will receive a + 2 if their club is outside of the relegation zone on January 3rd.
Gundogan and Konate - Will receive a + 2 if their club is top of the Premier League on January 3rd.
Judging by Manchester City’s form and the fact they travel to Anfield this weekend, we can safely say that Konate will be getting that upgrade.
Mode Mastery
What is Mode Mastery and how to get Mode Mastery Tokens?
Mode Mastery is a take on the Swaps mode we’ve seen over many Ultimate Team years, you earn special players (tokens) that can be exchanged for a bigger reward. For example in FIFA 23, if you earned 40 of the World Cup Swap players, you could exchange them for a Patrick Vieira.
For FC 25 it’s slightly different but the concept remains the same. Player tokens are available via three different modes - Champions, Rivals and Squad Battles and can be exchanged for rewards.
The main change this year is that the swap players are distributed randomly and are actually good?? In previous Swap promos you’d earn 60 rated cards with a special design, but this year there are some insane cards on offer as Swap Tokens. These will be earned via reward packs in all three modes, with a random chance of packing any of the cards. So with a Squad Battles Mastery Pack, you’ll randomly receive any of these select cards (excluding Raspadori)
They’ll be a total of 28 tokens available through Champs, Rivals and Squad Battles and an extra three (one per version) in the store in the final week of the season.
Where Do I get Mode Mastery Swap Tokens?
Squad Battles - Below Elite 3 (1 Players), Elite 3 or higher (2 Players).
Rivals - 35 Points below Div 3 (1 Players), 25 Points in Div 3 or higher (2 Players),15 Points in Div 3 or Higher (1 Player) .
Champs - 4 to 8 Wins (1 Player), 9 to 12 Wins (2 Players), 12 or more Wins (3 players)
They’ll be 4 sets of rewards per mode before the end of the season.
Mode Mastery Rewards
The key thing you need to keep in mind with the new rewards is that some require mode specific tokens. So for Nkunku you need to swap 8 Champs Tokens as opposed to Rodrygo where these tokens can be from any mode. Just make sure that if you want to complete any of the mode specific swaps, that you don’t submit those tokens anywhere else!
Let us know your thoughts on the new season, Swaps and which rewards you’re planning on taking!
