I was two matches from finishing the Lasting Legacy run when my keeper flubbed a routine save and everything felt fragile. The objective promised easy cards, but the path has traps that punish sloppy lineups. I stopped, reworked my starters, and finished the set—so you don’t have to guess which steps actually matter.
I write this as someone who grinds objectives for squad value and small-margin advantages. You’ll get clear instructions, fast workarounds for the fiddly tasks, and exact rewards so you can decide if the effort is worth your time in FUT, FUT Web App, or the mobile Companion app.
You’ve probably seen a banner for Lasting Legacy on the main menu, and it looks simple at first glance — How to complete the FC 26 Lasting Legacy objective
The objective contains seven distinct tasks. Some are straightforward; others are the kind of micro-goals that punish squad builders who ignore league and nationality requirements. Below is the official table with every task and its reward so you can plan the exact lineups you need.
| Task | Rewards |
|---|---|
| Score 20 goals in any mode. | 80+ Rare Gold Players Pack x10 |
| Concede one goal or less in seven separate matches in Squad Battles on min. Semi-Pro difficulty (or Rivals/Champions/Live Events) while having min. 2 defenders from Spain in your Starting 11. | Lekue EOAE |
| Assist 10 goals in Squad Battles on min. Semi-Pro difficulty (or Rivals/Champions/Live Events) using a player from Ligue 1. | Pierrick Capelle EOAE |
| Assist in five separate matches using a Through Pass in Squad Battles on min. Semi-Pro difficulty (or Rivals/Champions/Live Events) using a Portuguese player. | Pizzi EOAE |
| Score in six separate matches in Squad Battles on min. Semi-Pro difficulty (or Rivals/Champions/Live Events) while having min.1 player from Scottish Premiership in your Starting 11. | James Tavernier EOAE |
| Score 10 goals using Finesse Shots in Squad Battles on min. Semi-Pro difficulty (or Rivals/Champions/Live Events) using a player from the BWSL. | Beth Mead EOAE |
| Assist five goals using crosses in Squad Battles on min. Semi-Pro difficulty (or Rivals/Champions/Live Events) using a player from Ireland. | Seamus Coleman EOAE |
What rewards do I get from the FC 26 Lasting Legacy objective?
Complete all seven tasks and you net every listed EOAE card plus a bonus 82+ Rare Gold Players Pack x10. That’s six EOAE players—Lekue, Capelle, Pizzi, Tavernier, Mead, Coleman—plus two stackable 80+ and 82+ packs to move onto SBCs or the transfer market. Think of this objective as a treasure chest without a map: you know the payoff is substantial, but you must follow clues (nationality, league, shot types) to get there.
Can I finish the Lasting Legacy tasks in Rivals or Champions?
Yes. Squad Battles on at least Semi-Pro is listed, but Rivals, Champions, and eligible Live Events count too. I use Rivals when I want repeatable, controllable opposition and Squad Battles when I need an easier grind window. FUTBin and the Companion app are handy to check if a quick substitution will meet an objective’s nationality or league rules before kickoff.
On my last weekend of playing I noticed through-passes and crosses are where most players stumble — Tricky tasks and fast solutions
Here are the tasks that commonly trip people up and how I force them into completion:
- Concede ≤1 goal in seven matches with 2 Spanish defenders: Pick cheap LaLiga center-backs (rotation players from the bench won’t count if not in the Starting 11). Play low intensity, ditch high press, and pick easy opponents in Squad Battles or low-rated Rivals matches. A controlled 1-0 win helps.
- Assist 10 with a Ligue 1 player: Drop a pacey Ligue 1 midfielder or winger into your starting XI and ping crosses and through passes—10 assists can be done across a few matches if you keep reusing the same provider.
- Through Pass assists in five separate matches with a Portuguese player: This one expects spread across games: the assist must come in different matches. I play for calm build-up, use a Portuguese CAM, and pick through passes when the run is free.
- Score six matches with a Scottish Premiership starter: Slot a Premiership player into the front line and rotate them into games you’re confident of winning; substitute in the 60th minute to get the completion and keep them match-fit for the next one.
- 10 Finesse Shot goals using a BWSL player: Use Beth Mead or any BWSL winger with Finesse Shot attempts from the edge of the box. Finesse requires aiming and power control—if you’re missing, lower the difficulty or pick weaker defenders.
- Five assists from crosses with an Irish player: Irish full-backs or wingers are perfect. Focus on crosser on the wing and a tall striker to finish.
At a glance I keep a “run sheet” in my head for objectives — How to schedule sessions and save coins
Plan for blocks: one session for defensive tasks, one for creative assists, and one for finesse goal finishing. That reduces wasted starts and prevents repeated quick-restarts that cost time and packs. Each successful session saves you small amounts that add up on the transfer market—sometimes $2–$6 (~€2–€6) per card if you’re trying to avoid buying expensive players outright.
Use FUT Web App or the Companion app to swap starters before you queue matches. If a task needs a nationality or league, don’t guess—confirm on FUTBin or the transfer market first so you don’t waste a whole match.
Most starter squads I see lack depth on smaller markets — How this helps your club
These EOAE cards aren’t meta fodder for WL elites, but they are perfect filler to push squads over chemistry requirements for SBCs or to sell for a neat profit. Each EOAE card you pocket is a small engine that keeps your club running between big SBC splurges.
If you finish everything you collect a full set of six EOAE players plus both pack rewards. Put those players into mid-tier SBCs or sell them during peak hours on the transfer market for best return—FUTBin price graphs and the Companion app will help you time listings.
Before kicking off I do one quick checklist — Final checklist to avoid wasted matches
- Confirm nationality/league requirements in your Starting 11 before kickoff.
- Decide which mode (Squad Battles, Rivals, Champions) you’ll use and stick with it for that run.
- Assign one player to carry through-passes/crosses/finesse attempts and don’t sub them off until the match is done.
- Use low-risk match tactics (possession, low press) for defensive tasks.
If you want, I can map a 90-minute session plan to clear two or three of these tasks in order—do you want a play-by-play schedule for a single grind session?
