My thumbs hovered over the controller. The clock ticked, the crowd roared, and the score was deadlocked. Then I remembered: Ultimate Gauntlet 9 was live in FC 26, and somewhere within those digital matches lay the key to claiming serious rewards, including the coveted TOTY HM Scott McTominay.
Think of the Ultimate Gauntlet as a treasure hunt, with each round presenting three matches irrespective of your win-loss ratio. Winning two or three games in a round brings bonus goodies, of course, but the main objective set is straightforward.
