FC 26: How to Complete the Ultimate Rewind Completionist Objective

Summary

The FC 26 Ultimate Rewind Completionist objective lets players earn 98-rated Mbappé, 96-rated Maradona, 96-rated Henry, and an EVO consumable. Build one squad around the required card types, use Squad Battles on Professional difficulty, and complete multiple objectives in the same matches to finish the challenge efficiently. If you need additional resources to strengthen your squad, you can also buy FC 26 Coins to help prepare for the grind.

Ultimate Rewind Completionist Overview

The objective is divided into three stages:

· Wind It Back

· Greatest Hits — released August 22

· Thanks for the Memories — released August 23

To claim the main Completionist reward, you need to complete all three stages.

Main Rewards

· 98 Kylian Mbappé

· 96 Diego Maradona

· 96 Thierry Henry

· EVO consumable

· Additional objective rewards

All three featured player rewards are untradeable, so they cannot be sold on the Transfer Market.

Step 1: Complete Wind It Back

The first stage contains six requirements:

· Foot Birthday: Score 5 goals with any Foot Birthday player.

· Fantasy FC: Score at least 1 goal in 4 separate matches using a Fantasy FC player.

· Glory Hunter: Keep 2 clean sheets with one Glory Hunter player.

· Knockout Royalty: Score 4 goals with any Knockout Royalty player.

· Winter Wildcards: Assist 5 goals with any Winter Wildcards player.

· Ultimate Scream: Keep 2 clean sheets with one Ultimate Scream player.

Because several requirements involve different card types, squad construction is particularly important.

Step 2: Build an Objective-Focused Squad

Instead of completing each requirement separately, place as many relevant cards as possible into the same starting XI.

Recommended Squad Structure

· Goalkeeper: Ultimate Scream player

· Defender: Glory Hunter player

· Midfield: Winter Wildcards player

· Attack: Foot Birthday player

· Attack: Fantasy FC player

· Attack: Knockout Royalty player

This setup allows you to work toward multiple objectives during every match.

Why This Works

· Score with your Foot Birthday player.

· Use your Fantasy FC player to score across four matches.

· Create assists with your Winter Wildcards player.

· Score with your Knockout Royalty player.

· Protect your lead to earn clean sheets with your Glory Hunter and Ultimate Scream players.

You do not need to copy a specific squad. Use the cards already available in your club whenever possible.

Step 3: Use Squad Battles for Efficient Progress

Squad Battles on Professional difficulty is a strong option for completing the requirements.

Advantages

· Lower pressure than Division Rivals or Champions.

· Easier to create scoring opportunities.

· More control over match tempo.

· Easier to protect clean sheets.

· Simple to repeatedly target specific players.

If you need a goal with a particular card, prioritize that player during your attacks. Once the required goals or assists are completed, concentrate on maintaining the clean sheet.

Step 4: Combine Objectives

Efficiency is the key to completing the objective quickly.

Try to complete multiple requirements in the same match:

· Score with a Foot Birthday player.

· Score with a Knockout Royalty player.

· Create assists with a Winter Wildcards player.

· Score with your Fantasy FC player.

· Maintain a clean sheet with your Glory Hunter and Ultimate Scream players.

This approach can significantly reduce the number of matches required.

Extra Objective Opportunities

Before starting a match, check your other active Ultimate Team objectives.

If another challenge requires:

· Specific nations

· Certain positions

· Particular leagues

· Specific player types

Try to include those players in your Ultimate Rewind squad. This lets you make progress toward multiple rewards simultaneously.

Step 5: Complete the Remaining Stages

After finishing Wind It Back, monitor the release of the remaining objectives.

Greatest Hits

· Released August 22

· Complete the listed requirements.

· Use the same efficiency-focused approach.

· Keep relevant players in your squad whenever possible.

Thanks for the Memories

· Released August 23

· Complete the final set of requirements.

· Check all available objectives before entering matches.

· Finish this stage to complete the full Ultimate Rewind path.

How Long Does It Take?

With an efficient squad and focused approach, the three main tasks can take approximately 10–12 matches, depending on your performance and the specific requirements.

By using one carefully constructed squad and completing several objectives simultaneously, you can minimize the grind while working toward:

· 98 Mbappé

· 96 Maradona

· 96 Thierry Henry

For players looking to strengthen their Ultimate Team without spending additional coins, completing all three stages should be a high priority.
