The clock was ticking. My Ultimate Team needed a serious boost, and the Marc Cucurella TOTY HM plus the Football Fanatics objective dropped like a lifeline. But glancing at the requirements, I knew this wasn’t going to be a quick fix; it was a grind.
Both objective sets dangle some pretty sweet rewards – maybe even a TOTY player or two. Even if you don’t pack a superstar, you’ll amass a pile of high-rated fodder to complete those valuable Squad Building Challenges (SBCs) currently live. Let’s cut to the chase and map out how to blitz through these objectives, combining tasks to save you precious time.
Best Football Fanatics and Cucurella HM objective squad in FC 26
It’s Saturday morning and the local park is buzzing with amateur football. The dedication is real, but raw talent only gets you so far; you need strategy. Similarly, in FC 26, both the Football Fanatics Week 1 and Marc Cucurella TOTY HM objectives demand strategic squad building, using players from specific nations to nail particular in-game feats. Here’s the quick rundown:
- Score 12 goals with a Premier League player
- Win 20 games
- Score in 25 matches with a player having 4* Weak Foot or better.
- Assist in 15 matches with a Spanish player
- Score in 15 matches with a French player
- Assist with a cross in seven matches with a Portuguese player
- Score a goal with a Finesse Shot in five matches with a Norwegian player
Sure, there are a couple of other minor hurdles, but these are the ones that’ll test your patience. Let’s engineer the most efficient squad combo to smash these out:
- One Norwegian player
- One Polish player (for seven games)
- One Portuguese player
- One French player
- Four Spanish players
- One Liga F player
- One Ligue 1 player
- One Premier League player
This is your skeleton key: a squad setup to bulldoze through these tasks at speed. You can tackle the objectives in any Ultimate Team mode you like. Personally, I’m a fan of the Season 4 Cup, thanks to the Golden Goal rule. That single rule is like a turbo boost, slashing the time it takes to tick off each requirement.
What’s the fastest way to grind objectives in FC 26?
The Season 4 Gold Cup offers quick games, but you’re capped on how many matches you can play each day. If waiting isn’t your thing, Squad Battles is your next best bet. Crank the difficulty up to Semi-Pro or higher, and you should be rinsing through both sets of objectives before you know it. This approach turns the grind into a steady stream of progress.
Consider this your blueprint for success. Remember, those high-rated cards you’re chasing are more than just in-game assets; they’re potential game-changers for your entire Ultimate Team experience. This isn’t just about collecting; it’s about crafting a competitive advantage.
Are the Football Fanatics rewards worth the grind in FC 26?
Think of your FC 26 Ultimate Team as a garden. You plant seeds (complete objectives), nurture them (play matches), and reap the rewards (TOTY players, high-rated fodder). Now, you might be wondering, is it actually worth the effort? Are the potential rewards more than just fertilizer? The value is in the eye of the beholder, but generally, these objectives provide a cost-effective way to bolster your squad.
Can I complete these objectives in offline modes in FC 26?
Absolutely. If online play isn’t your cup of tea, Squad Battles offers a solid offline alternative. While it might take a tad longer than grinding through Golden Goal matches, it’s a reliable way to complete those objectives at your own pace. Just remember to bump up the difficulty to ensure you’re making consistent progress toward those in-game milestones.
It’s a method that will test your skills, but will your virtual blood, sweat and tears deliver the rewards you need?
