How to Complete the Switch it Up! Objective in FC 26
EA Sports has introduced a fresh way to engage with the tactical side of FC 26 Ultimate Team with the newly released Switch it Up! Objective. This set of challenges encourages players to step outside their comfort zones, experiment with different tactical setups, and master various formations to earn valuable rewards, including an Evolution and extra coins.

3 Back Swag

Score at least 1 goal in 5 separate matches using the 3-5-2 formation (without changing) in Squad Battles on min. Semi-Pro Difficulty (or Live Events/Rivals/Champions) while having min. 3 Glory Hunters players in your starting 11.

Back to Basics

Score at least 1 goal in 5 separate matches using the 4-4-2 formation (without changing) in Squad Battles on min. Semi-Pro Difficulty (or Live Events/Rivals/Champions) while having min. 3 Glory Hunters players in your starting 11.

The Other 4-5-1

Score at least 1 goal in 5 separate matches using the 4-5-1 formation (without changing) in Squad Battles on min. Semi-Pro Difficulty (or Live Events/Rivals/Champions) while having min. 3 Glory Hunters players in your starting 11.

Try Something New!

Score at least 1 goal in 50 separate matches using the 4-4-1-1(2) formation (without changing) in Squad Battles on min. Semi-Pro Difficulty (or Live Events/Rivals/Champions) while having min. 3 Glory Hunters players in your starting 11.

Unlocking the Rewards: Evolution and Coins

By participating in this Objective, you are not just testing your tactical flexibility; you are also working toward a specific Evolution slot. Unlike standard pack rewards, this Evolution allows you to upgrade a player in your club, potentially turning a mid-tier card into a meta-relevant powerhouse. Remember that all rewards from this group are untradeable, so choose your Evolution target wisely to maximize your squad's performance.

Tactical Tips for Completion

  • Focus on completing 3 of the 4 challenges to trigger the main rewards efficiently.
  • Use Squad Battles on a lower difficulty to quickly knock out formation-specific requirements like the 3-back or 4-5-1 setups.
  • Combine these tasks with other active Objectives to maximize your time spent in-game.

Objective Requirements Overview

The tasks are straightforward but require specific starting XI adjustments. From 'Back to Basics' to '3 Back Swag', you will need to ensure your formation is correctly set before the match starts for the progress to count. This is a great opportunity to find a hidden gem formation that might suit your playstyle better than the current meta.
