Fastest Method To Complete the Pre-Season Catarina Macário Objective in FC 26
You can complete the entire group in 8 matches. This assumes you do everything right and can form the squads exactly as we list below.
Squad
- 2 players from the United States.
- 3 players from NWSL.
- 6 first-owned players.
First-owned players are anyone who was not brought off the transfer market. Players you get through packs, objectives, and other rewards count as first-owned.
You can combine all three requirements here. Players like Sophia Wilson, Trinity Rodman, and others were part of the previous season's reward track.
They're still competitive for Squad Battles, the only mode you'll be playing to complete these tasks.
Once you've formed the squad, here's what you need to do.
Tasks
- Win 8 matches in Squad Battles.
- Assist 5 goals with a CAM.
- Win a minimum of 2 matches with more than 2 goals.
The difficulty for Squad Battles should be Semi-Pro or higher.
You can knock it off within your weekly matches by targeting weaker opponents with less chemistry if you want to play on World Class or above.
