o Starting XI players
o Substitutes

· These players cannot be used in later rounds.
· You receive 14 total attempts.

Understanding Round Results

Best Strategy for Completing the Gauntlet
1. Prioritize Overlapping Objectives
Try to complete multiple requirements simultaneously:
· Score while pursuing match wins.
· Target two wins per round first.
· Continue toward three wins when the round is going well.
· Only chase a Perfect Round when you are already on a strong winning streak.
2. Manage Your Squad Depth
Because players become unavailable after a completed round:
· Prepare multiple squads before starting.
· Avoid using your strongest players unnecessarily.
· Keep alternative players available for later rounds.
· Remember that bench players also become unavailable.
3. Do Not Force Perfect Rounds
Perfect Rounds offer valuable rewards, but they are not always the most efficient target.
· If you lose one match, focus on completing other objectives.
· Use the remaining matches to accumulate scoring progress.
· Save your strongest squads for attempts where a Perfect Round is realistic.
4. Track Your Attempts
With only 14 attempts, inefficient squad selection can quickly become costly.
· Plan each round before entering.
· Track which players are locked out.
· Prioritize objectives with rewards you actually need.
· Avoid restarting rounds simply because the first match was difficult.
Final Verdict
The Ultimate Rewind Gauntlet rewards players who combine squad management, consistent scoring, and efficient match selection.
For the most reliable progression:
· Start with the scoring objectives.
· Aim for Doubles whenever possible.
· Pursue Triplets when your round is going well.
· Treat Perfect Rounds as an additional high-value target.
· Prepare multiple squads before beginning.
· Use the Evolutions on players who benefit most from their attribute upgrades.
With high-rated Rare Gold Players Packs, Pre-Season Tokens, and two Evolutions, the Gauntlet offers plenty of value for players willing to manage their 14 attempts carefully, while players looking to build stronger squads can also use cheap FC 26 Coins to improve their team-building options.
