Cover four tasks in six matches, then swap in Bundesliga players for five more to finish the whole set in about 11 games.

The FUTTIES Leagues Challenge in EA Sports FC 26 is a five-task objective that pays out packs, Season Points, an Evolution unlock, and a FUTTIES Team 2 Player Pick. Each task is tied to a specific league, so the fast route is not doing them one by one. It is building a single squad that satisfies several league rules at once, then making one small change halfway through.

Quick answer: Field four LaLiga players, four Ligue 1 players, one Premier League striker, and two Serie A attackers. Play six Third Time Lucky matches to clear four of the five tasks, then replace any four cards with Bundesliga players and play five more games.


FUTTIES Leagues Challenge tasks and rewards

All five tasks count in Squad Battles on Semi-Pro difficulty or higher, and they also count in Live Events, Division Rivals, and Champions. Every reward from the set is untradeable.

Squad build that covers four tasks at once

The key is that the goal-scorer and the assist provider only need to match a league for their specific task, while the LaLiga and Ligue 1 tasks only care about how many of those league players are in your starting 11. One 11-player squad can satisfy all four of the first tasks together.

  • Four players from LaLiga (covers the Finesse Shot task rule)
  • Four players from Ligue 1 (covers the Through Ball task rule)
  • One Premier League player, ideally a striker (for the Score 6 task)
  • Two Serie A players, ideally wide attackers or a CAM (for the Assist 6 task)

Note: the LaLiga and Ligue 1 minimums are both met at the same time because you are running four of each in the same lineup. That is why this build clears four tasks across just six matches.


Fastest method to clear all five tasks

Build the squad above and play the Third Time Lucky Live Event. Matches end the moment one side scores three goals, so each game finishes quickly and every match still counts toward the objective.
Across your first six matches, score at least one Finesse Shot goal per game and set up at least one Through Ball assist per game. Route your goals through the Premier League striker and your assists through a Serie A attacker so the Score 6 and Assist 6 tasks fill at the same time.
After those six games, swap any four of your cards for Bundesliga players. Play five more matches with that updated lineup to finish the Play 5 task. Friendlies work here too if you want full control over substitutions and pacing.

That is 11 matches in total, and both blocks can be run inside Third Time Lucky to keep each game short.


How to confirm each task counted

Each task ticks up in the objective tracker as soon as the qualifying action registers, and the completed set delivers the packs, SP, Evolution, and Player Pick to your objective rewards. If a goal or assist does not count, it is almost always because the required league condition was not met for that action. The scorer must be from the Premier League for Score 6, the assister must be from Serie A for Assist 6, and the finish or pass has to be an actual Finesse Shot or Through Ball for those separate-match tasks. Keep the four LaLiga and four Ligue 1 players on the pitch, since subbing below those minimums stops the matching tasks from progressing.

Stick to the two-squad plan and the whole FUTTIES Leagues Challenge wraps in roughly 11 quick games, which is well below what running each task separately would cost you.
