How to Complete the Intercept+ Milestone Objective in FC 26
By Alfie Carrington••2 min read
The latest defensive content has arrived in Ultimate Team with the Intercept+ Milestone Objective. This unique challenge allows players to upgrade their squad by earning a specialized Evolution slot specifically designed to enhance defensive capabilities. If you are looking to solidify your midfield or backline, this is a must-complete task.
Upgrade Your Defense with Intercept+
The Intercept+ PlayStyle is one of the most coveted traits for defensive minded players. It significantly increases the reach of a player when attempting to stop passes and improves their ability to retain possession after the interception. This Evolution is applicable to any player with a maximum 90 OVR, excluding WTSS items, making it highly versatile for various squad builds.
Strong Backline
Concede 2 goals or less in 50 separate matches in Squad Battles on Min. Semi-Pro difficulty (or Rush/Rivals/Champions/Live Events).
Tips for Completing the Strong Backline Challenge
- Focus on Clean Sheets: Ensure your defenders stay back while attacking to prevent counter-attacks.
- Use High-Physicality Players: Players with high strength will find the defensive tasks much easier to manage.
- Combine Objectives: Check if there are other active milestones that can be completed simultaneously in the same game mode.
Evolution Rewards and Analysis
Unlike standard objectives that offer a specific player card or a Pack reward, this milestone grants you the power to choose who gets the boost. By applying the Intercept+ Evolution to a Max 90 OVR player, you can transform a solid card into an elite defensive presence. This is particularly useful for Meta CDMs who just lack that extra 'glue' when tracking runners.
