FIFA 20 Icon Refresh: Everything You Need to Know About the Rumor
By Max Mallow
FIFA 20 Icon Refresh is a rumored promotion coming to FIFA Ultimate Team regarding certain Icons in the game.
The rumors started on Twitter between community members FUTDonk and DenisFUT talking about a new promotion centered around Icons. Community member FUT Watch even found something in the game's code how Team of the Season So Far cards might be required as Squad Building Challenge requirements for future content.

FIFA 20 Icon Refresh: Everything You Need to Know About the Rumor

Files were added to FIFA 20 which is separate to FIFA Mobile with the name “icon refresh”
EA promoted all icons into draft

Others noticed how the official La Liga Twitter account was promoting David Trezeguet's 2010-11 season in Spain. The strange thing about the tweet is that Icon profiles for Trezeguet currently in the game for all versions don't mention that specific season as well. It's odd that La Liga would promote Trezeguet randomly during Team of the Season So Far.
One final clue was found in a FUT loading screen showcasing what many think to be is Icon SBCs. The big rumor that most hope is true is that Icon SBCs will return for the rest of FIFA 20.
Icon SBCs were removed from FIFA 20 in exchange for Icon Swaps. The new promotion wasn't well received by fans citing the player choices, the requirements and the frequency of the content. Icon SBCs being removed also caused a drastic market shift for FIFA 20 so far.
Another rumor is that there will be a Prime Icon SBC guaranteed pack released just like how there's been Base and Middle Icon guaranteed packs.
Everything so far remains unconfirmed, but fans won't have to wait long to see if there's new content at 1 p.m. ET on Wednesday.
