Another FIFA 23 Ultimate Team event, another Swaps campaign. FUT Birthday’s official Team One release was preceded by the launch of the first FUT Birthday Swap Tokens. We’ll explain how FUT Birthday Swaps works and how to acquire all Swap Tokens in this guide.

EA has really gone hard on the Swaps concept in FIFA 23. The idea was first tested in FIFA 22, and the positive fan reaction quickly convinced the developers that it is a winning formula. Swaps were put in action as far back as the World Cup and were later implemented during the Winter Wildcards and the Future Stars promo events. The latest such event, FUT Birthday, is ready to join the Swaps parade with a series of Swap Tokens of its own.

What FIFA 23 FUT Birthday Swap Tokens are, and how to use them in FUT

The Swaps concept is becoming eerily familiar to Ultimate Team players. The goal is to obtain as many FUT Birthday Swap Tokens as you can, and then trade these Tokens in for a prize, usually in the form of a high OVR player or some combination of packs. Swap Tokens are tucked away behind various obstacles, including SBCs, Objectives, and buying packs.

There will be a total of 30 FUT Birthday Swap Tokens obtainable in FIFA 23, and each one will bring you closer to your coveted prize. The FUT Birthday Swaps campaign concludes on April 7. Until then, we’ll make sure you don’t miss a single piece of content.

What are the FIFA 23 FUT Birthday Swaps rewards?

The sole reason for collecting FUT Birthday Swap Tokens is so you could then trade them in for a nice reward. The more Tokens you submit, the better the prize. Below you will find all FUT Birthday Swaps rewards:

  • One Token – 81+ x11 Rare Players pack
  • Two Tokens – World Cup Icon Hernán Crespo (89 OVR)
  • Three Tokens – FUT Birthday Team 1 Player pack
  • Five Tokens – 82+ x20 Rare Players pack
  • 10 Tokens – 85+ x10 Rare Players pack
  • 15 Tokens – 87+ RTTF, Fantasy FUT Hero, Fantasy FUT or FUT Birthday Team Player Pick (one out of five)
  • 17 Tokens – Prime Icon Rio Ferdinand (90 OVR)
  • 20 Tokens – Two 84+ x20 Rare Player packs
  • 20 Tokens – FUT Birthday Icon Alan Shearer (92 OVR)
  • 27 Tokens – 90+ Prime Icon Player Pick (one out of four)

You can submit any number of Tokens for any of these rewards at any time during the FUT Birthday Swaps campaign It is up to you whether you save up for the high-tier rewards or snatch a larger quantity of theoretically lower quality.

Another choice you have to make about your Tokens is whether to spend them on guaranteed players or packs. This is very much a risk vs. reward kind of deal that’s down to how much you believe in your FUT luck.

Thankfully, EA is offering a middle ground between these two extremes in the form of player picks. It’s no wonder a player pick is valued the highest in the FUT Birthday Swaps campaign. You’re almost guaranteed to get a great card, and such guarantees are extremely rare in the world of Ultimate Team.

How to get FIFA 23 FUT Birthday Swap Token No. 1: Sævar Magnússon

As per Swaps tradition, the first FUT Birthday Swap Token is essentially granted for free. As soon as you log into your FUT account, as long as you do so before April 7, you will be given the Mágnuasson Token. 

How to get FIFA 23 FUT Birthday Swaps Token No. 2: Emeka Oduah

The Oduah Token is a very early pack exclusive. This token is part of the package for buying and opening the New Year Review Foundations pack. This purchase will cost you a hefty 90,000 coins, but if you want to collect all the FUT Birthday Swaps loot, you’ll have to make this sacrifice.

How to get FIFA 23 FUT Birthday Swap Token No. 3: Anosike Ementa

The Ementa Token is the first that’s obtained by solving one of the many cheap, interesting Squad Building Challenges that are part of Swaps. These usually come with a lot of requirements, all of which are easy to match. To get the Ementa Swaps Token, you need to solve the FGS Challenge 10 SBC, which demands the following squad:

  • Players from max. four different leagues
  • Players from max. five different nations
  • Max. three players from the same club
  • Min. six Gold players
  • Min. three Rare players
  • Min. 26 Chemistry
  • Price: approx. 4,300 coins

FGS Challenge 10 expires on March 27.

How to get FIFA 23 FUT Birthday Swap Token No. 4: Albert Hofman

Albert Hofman is the first Objectives player. The Hofman Swap Token is obtainable by completing the following First Owner Fiesta Objective: Win a match in the Live FUT Friendly: Homegrown Eleven game mode.

The specifics of this mode limit you to only using players that have only been owned by you, meaning they weren’t bought on the market. We’re sure you got enough to win one match, but you must do so by March 28 if you want that to bag you a FUT Birthday Swap Token.

How to get FIFA 23 FUT Birthday Swap Token No. 5: Liam Gibbs

The Liam Gibbs Swap Token also requires the completion of Objectives, this time in the Silver Lounge. As part of the Lukas Podolski Silver Stars Objectives, you can get the Gibbs Token by winning three matches in the Live FUT Friendly: Silver Lounge game mode.

The Silver Lounge is an exclusive club that only permits the usage of Silver players, hence the name of the mode. It’s a fun little exercise that can add a FUT Birthday Swap Token to your inventory if you win three matches by March 29.

How to get FIFA 23 FUT Birthday Swap Token No. 6: Marc Aguado

Sometimes, FUT Birthday Swap Tokens are not given their own SBCs, but are hidden in one of the many Marquee Matchups. Such is the case with the Aguado Token, which you will receive as a reward for completing the Denmark vs. Finland Marquee Matchups SBC. Here’s the team you need to submit:

  • Min. one player from either Denmark or Finland
  • Players from min. four different clubs
  • Min. three players from the same nation
  • Min. 73 OVR squad rating
  • Min. 14 chemistry
  • Price: approx. 4,000 coins

You must complete this SBC by March 30 to receive the Token.

How to get FIFA 23 FUT Birthday Swap Token No. 7: Sunusi Ibrahim

The Ibrahim Token is one you’ll have to work for. The Objectives so far have been quite lenient, but that’s not the case here. The Sunusi Ibrahim Swap Token can be acquired via the FUT Birthday Objective Player challenges that have FUT Birthday Joselu as their grandest prize.

You’ll have to do a lot more for Joselu, but getting Ibrahim requires some sweat as well. You must score at least two goals per match in four separate Division Rivals or Squad Battles matches on minimum semi-pro difficulty. You are on a timer too, because the Token will be gone by the end of March 31.

How to get FIFA 23 FUT Birthday Swap Token No. 8: Samuel Silvera

The FUT Birthday Party Objectives were released simultaneously with FUT Birthday Team 1, and to the surprise of absolutely no one, they contain a FUT Birthday Swap Token. To keep your collection at 100 percent, you must score four Finesse goals in Division Rivals or Squad Battles on minimum semi-pro difficulty. Your efforts will be rewarded with the Silvera Token. This FUT Birthday Token is obtainable until the end of the campaign on April 7.

How to get FIFA 23 FUT Birthday Swap Token No. 9: Jan Jurčec

After the elaborate schemes needed to secure some of the previous Tokens, Jan Jurčec’s requirements come as a huge relief. To get the Jurčec Swap Token, you must complete the FUT Birthday Daily Login Upgrade SBC four times.

This SBC has just one demand, which is more of a plea really. You must submit one Bronze player to do the FUT Birthday Daily Login Upgrade SBC. Doing so four times will cost you about 800 coins, which is arguably the best balance between cheap and easy we’ve ever seen in any Swaps program. You even get FUT Birthday Marquinhos on loan for five matches, free of additional charge.

The best thing is that it lasts in more than one way. The Jan Jurčec Token can be obtained this way until April 7 and there are more of those easy-to-grab Tokens to come.

How to get FIFA 23 FUT Birthday Swap Token No. 10: Damian Isac

Everything we said about Jurčec applies for the Damian Isac Token. The only difference is that instead of four times, you must do the FUT Birthday Daily Login Upgrade SBC seven times, and instead of Marquinhos, you’ll get FUT Birthday Icon George Best on loan for the same amount of matches.

The slight increase in price is not nearly enough to stain our appreciation of the FUT Birthday Daily Login Upgrade SBC, and we’re not done with it.

How to get FIFA 23 FUT Birthday Swap Token No. 11: Jack McGlynn

The third and sadly final Swap Token earned through completing the FUT Birthday Daily Login Upgrade SBC is that of Jack McGlynn. This time, you need to go all the way up to 10 completions to snatch the McGlynn Token. You also receive a five-match loan of FUT Birthday Icon Ferenc Puskás.

All three tokens obtainable via the FUT Birthday Daily Login Upgrade SBC expire on April 7.

How to get FIFA 23 FUT Birthday Swap Token No. 12: Lasse Günther

All good things must come to an end. It was easy and cheap for three straight tokens, but now it’s time to pay up. The only way to get the Günther Swap Token is to purchase the FUT Celebration pack for 85,000 coins and open it by March 31. With a bit of luck, this might not be the worst deal out there, but it will definitely leave a sour taste on the back of the bliss that is the FUT Birthday Daily Login Upgrade SBC.

How to get FIFA 23 FUT Birthday Swap Token No. 13: Falah Waleed

The 13th FUT Birthday Swap Token has its own Squad Building Challenge, as the Falah Waleed Token is rewarded for solving the FUT 15 SBC. Here’s the squad you need to submit:

  • 10 players required
  • All players must be from different leagues
  • Min. three players from the same nation
  • Min. 50 OVR squad rating
  • Min. 14 chemistry

The FUT 15 SBC must be completed by March 31 in order to receive the Waleed Swap Token.

How to get FIFA 23 FUT Birthday Swap Token No. 14: Ralph Priso

The Priso FUT Birthday Token is given as a reward for completing the FUT 16 SBC. The requirements are:

  • 10 players required
  • Players from max. four different leagues
  • Max. five players from the same club
  • Min. five Rare players
  • Min. 80 OVR squad rating
  • Min. 31 chemistry

The FUT 16 SBC, and the opportunity to obtain the Ralph Priso Swap Token, expires on April 1.

How to get FIFA 23 FUT Birthday Swap Token No. 15: Ulrich Donovan Ewolo

EA has turned FUT Birthday Swaps into an SBC speedrun. The Ewolo Token is the reward for completing the FUT 17 SBC, for which you must submit a squad with these qualities:

  • 10 players required
  • Min. nine Gold players
  • Players from min. four different nations
  • Players from min. three different clubs
  • Max. five players from the same league
  • Min. 22 chemistry
  • Price: approx. 4,000 coins

You must complete the FUT 17 Squad Building Challenge until April 2 to obtain the Ewolo Swap Token.

How to get FIFA 23 FUT Birthday Swap Token No. 16: Tony Gallacher

Completing the FUT 18 SBC is the only way to get the Gallacher Swap Token. To solve this Squad Building Challenge, your squad must meet these conditions:

  • 10 players required
  • Min. five Rare players
  • Players from min. five different nations
  • Max. four players from the same nation
  • Min. 65 OVR squad rating
  • Min. 26 chemistry
  • Price: approx. 5,000 coins

The FUT 18 SBC must be completed by April 3 if you want to add the Gallacher Token to your collection.

How to get FIFA 23 FUT Birthday Swap Token No. 17: Godwin Bentil

We can finally break away from doing numbered FUT SBCs. The Bentil Swap Token is part of First Owner Fiesta Objectives. You need to win one match in the Live FUT Friendly: Homegrown Eleven mode to get the Godwin Bentil Token.

This Objective must be completed by Tuesday, April 4.

How to get FIFA 23 FUT Birthday Swap Token No. 18: Lukas Mazagg

You can obtain the Mazagg Swap Token by solving one of the currently active Marquee Matchups, Paris Saint-Germain vs. Olympique Lyonnais. The SBC requirements are:

  • Min. one player from France
  • Players from min. three different leagues
  • Max. four players from the same club
  • Min. 73 OVR squad rating
  • Min. 14 chemistry
  • Price: approx. 5,000 coins

You can get the Lukas Mazagg Token only by completing this SBC until April 6.

How to get FIFA 23 FUT Birthday Swap Token No. 19: Mukhair Al Rashidi

The Al Rashidi Token is also part of the current Marquee Matchups SBCs. You must solve the Napoli vs. Milan SBC for the Al Rashidi Swap Token. To do so, you must submit the following squad:

  • Min. two players from Serie A
  • Players from max. five different nations
  • Players from min. three different clubs
  • Min. 75 OVR squad rating
  • Min. 18 chemistry
  • Price: approx. 5,000 coins

You must complete this Marquee Matchups SBC by April 6 if you want the Mukhair Al Rashidi Swap Token.

How to get FIFA 23 FUT Birthday Swap Token No. 20: Lee Tae Suk

The release of FUT Birthday Team 2 has ignited the Swaps campaign. The new FUT Birthday Cup Objectives hold three Tokens all by themselves. Acquiring all three will take completing a set of challenges. The Lee Tae Suk Swap Token is the easiest to get. You need to play four matches in the Live FUT Friendly: FUT Birthday Cup game mode.

How to get FIFA 23 FUT Birthday Swap Token No. 21: Halvor Opsahl

The Opsahl Swap Token is second on the pecking order. There still aren’t any requirements to win, though they are coming. To get the Opsahl Token, you need to play eight matches in the Live FUT Friendly: FUT Birthday Cup mode. Double the effort, but nothing too scary.

How to get FIFA 23 FUT Birthday Swap Token No. 22: Kevin Mouanga

The third and final Token obtainable through FUT Birthday Cup Objectives is the Mouanga Swap Token. You need to win two Live FUT Friendly: FUT Birthday Cup matches this time. Of course, you can accomplish this while completing the other two Objectives, so technically, the Mouanga Token could be your first of the three.

All FUT Birthday Cup Swap Tokens must be obtained by April 7.

How to get FIFA 23 FUT Birthday Swap Token No. 23: Kreshnik Hajrizi

We said there are no more FUT Birthday Cup Tokens, but we’re not done with Objectives. You can get the Hajrizi Swap Token by completing the first FUT Birthday Objective Player challenge. It says that you must score eight goals with Bundesliga players in FUT Champions, Division Rivals, or Squad Battles on at least semi-pro difficulty.

Definitely more hassle than any FUT Birthday Cup Swaps Objective, but you have two whole weeks to complete it. The Hajrizi Token doesn’t expire until April 14.

How to get FIFA 23 FUT Birthday Swap Token No. 24: Nathan Ngoy

The final piece of FUT Birthday Swaps content to come out with Team 2 is the Nathan Ngoy Token. This one can be acquired via the FUT 19 SBC. The requirements are:

  • Players from max. four different nations
  • Max. two players from the same club
  • Min. one Rare player
  • Min. 75 OVR squad rating
  • Min. 22 chemistry
  • Price: approx. 6,000 coins

The FUT 19 SBC must be completed by April 7 to get the Ngoy Swap Token.

How to get FIFA 23 FUT Birthday Swap Token No. 25: Kane Smith

The Kane Smith Token does not require any skill, just sheer buying power. If you purchase the FUT Birthday Sparkler pack for 85,000 coins, the Smith Swap Token will be included alongside the pack’s regular rewards.

You must buy the FUT Birthday Sparkler pack until April 7 to get the Smith Token.

How to get FIFA 23 FUT Birthday Swap Token No. 26: Patrick Nwadike

The Nwadike Token marks a return to Squad Building Challenges. Solving the FUT 20 SBC requires submitting a squad with the following parameters:

  • 10 players required
  • Min. nine Rare players
  • Min. one First Owned player
  • Max. three players from the same nation
  • Min. 80 OVR squad rating
  • Min. 28 chemistry

FUT 20 is clearly the most demanding SBC featured in the FIFA 23 FUT Birthday Swaps campaign. If you want the Nwadike Swap Token, though, doing the SBC by April 8 is the only way to go.

How to get FIFA 23 FUT Birthday Swap Token No. 27: Sean Sabetkar

The Sean Sabetkar Token also requires completing a Squad Building Challenge. The newest numbered Challenge, the FUT 21 SBC, is much more lenient in its demands, which are:

  • 10 players required
  • Min. one Rare player
  • Players from max. six different teams
  • Min. three players from the same league
  • Min. 65 OVR squad rating
  • Min. 15 chemistry

The FUT 21 SBC must be completed by April 9 to claim the Sabetkar Swap Token.

How to get FIFA 23 FUT Birthday Swap Token No. 28: Souleymane Diaby

The Diaby Swap Token can be acquired via the FUT Birthday Draft Challenge. The Objective you must complete for the Diaby Token is to play one Draft match. This Objective can be completed online or offline, and must be completed by April 21 to get the Souleymane Diaby Swap Token.

How to get FIFA 23 FUT Birthday Swap Token No. 29: Shadrach Ogie

The Shadrach Ogie Token is the prize for solving the FUT 22 SBC. It’s another slightly more demanding FUT Birthday Swaps SBC, but you shouldn’t be too worried either way. The squad you submit for the Challenge must fall under these conditions:

  • 10 players demanded
  • Min. one Rare player
  • Min. one First Owned player
  • Min. two players from the same nation
  • Max. five players from the same club
  • Min. 75 OVR squad rating
  • Min. 23 chemistry

The Ogie Swap Token will be yours if you do the FUT 22 SBC by April 10.

How to get FIFA 23 FUT Birthday Swap Token No. 30: Simone Davi

The 30th and final FIFA 23 FUT Birthday Swap Token can be acquired via First Owner Fiesta Objectives. The Davi Token requires you to win one match in the Live FUT Friendly: Homegrown Eleven game mode. Do so by April 11 and the Davi Swap Token will be yours.

With many simultaneous dynamic events in FIFA 23, keeping track of everything at once could prove challenging. Following our RTTF upgrades tracker and our Fantasy FUT upgrades tracker will make that challenge much easier to handle.
