Grinding FIFA 21 Icon Swaps quickly: The Golden Goal rule

The community has come up with the Golden Goal rule to make FIFA 21’s Icon Swaps grind faster for everyone.

The rules are simple: If your opponent scores the opening goal in a game, concede the game. If your rivals are aware, they should do the same for you. It’s the unwritten code that allows players to rack up the wins at a faster rate.

It was used in the last three Icon Swaps events, and it will probably be used again if this one ends up happening.

Not everyone is aware of it, though. So, don’t expect it every game. But when it does happen, it will help speed things up.
