FC 26 Pre-Season: How to Finish the Callum Wilson Objective Fast

Build one squad that satisfies every requirement so all four Wilson tasks progress in the same games.

Build one squad that satisfies every requirement so all four Wilson tasks progress in the same games.

The Pre-Season Callum Wilson set is the first of four objective groups tied to the FUTTIES Del Piero reward in FC 26, and it hands out packs, SP, FUTTIES Tokens, and the Callum Wilson FUTTIES card. The quickest route is not to grind each task on its own. Instead, one carefully built starting eleven can tick off all four tasks at the same time.

Quick answer: Field a squad with at least three Premier League players, at least two England players, and at least six first-owned players in your starting eleven, then play through Squad Battles on minimum Semi-Pro. Win eight matches while scoring your goals with a striker, and three of those wins should be by a two-goal margin or more.


Squad requirements that stack every Wilson task

The four tasks each carry their own squad condition, but the conditions overlap. A single lineup can meet all of them at once, which means every game you play counts toward multiple tasks instead of one.

You need three players from the Premier League in your starting eleven. Two of those can also be from England, which satisfies a second condition without adding anyone new. Then make sure at least six of your eleven starters are first-owned, meaning cards you did not buy from the transfer market. Pack pulls, SBC rewards, and objective players all qualify as first-owned.

The four Wilson tasks and how to clear them together

Every task can be completed in Squad Battles on a minimum of Semi-Pro difficulty. Live Events, Rivals, and Champions also count if you prefer online play. Squad Battles against the AI is the safer choice because you control the scoreline and can chase the two-goal margins without pressure.

TaskObjectiveCondition
Premier JourneyPlay 5 matches3+ Premier League players in the starting 11
Deadly FinishScore 5 goals with a STGoals must come from a striker
Three LionsWin 3 matches by 2 goals or more2+ England players in the starting 11
Winner WinnerWin 8 matches6+ first-owned players in the starting 11

Because “Winner Winner” asks for eight wins, that task sets your workload. Everything else finishes inside those same eight games. Five of them cover “Premier Journey,” three comfortable wins cover “Three Lions,” and your striker goals across the run cover “Deadly Finish.”


Fastest way to play through the eight games

Set your lineup with the three overlapping requirements in place before you queue. Confirm that two of your Premier League starters are also England players and that six or more starters are first-owned.
Enter Squad Battles and pick at least Semi-Pro difficulty. A lower difficulty will not register progress for these tasks.
Route your attack through your striker. Every goal you want to count for “Deadly Finish” has to be scored by a player in the ST position, so give that forward your clear chances.
Push for a two-goal cushion in at least three of your wins. A 2-0 or 3-1 scoreline knocks out “Three Lions” while still adding to your total wins.
Keep winning until you reach eight victories. That final total completes “Winner Winner” and, by then, the other three tasks should already be done.

How to confirm the objective is complete

Each task shows a progress counter that fills as you play, for example 5/8 wins or 3/5 goals with a striker. When all four tasks read as complete, the objective set is finished and the rewards unlock for you to claim.

If a task stops counting, check the two most common causes. Goals scored by a player who is not in the ST slot will not advance “Deadly Finish,” and wins by a single goal do not count toward the two-goal margin task. Difficulty below Semi-Pro also blocks all progress.


Callum Wilson objective rewards

Completing the full set pays out a mix of packs, currency, and the featured card. The FUTTIES Tokens and Callum Wilson item feed into the wider Pre-Season progression toward the FUTTIES Del Piero reward, which requires finishing all four objective sets.

Wilson is only the opening set of the group, so once you have his card in hand you can move on to the remaining three sets as they become available and keep building toward the Del Piero reward.
