The latest content drop in FC 26 Ultimate Team brings back a legendary figure to the pitch.

Why Fernando Torres is a Must-Have

It is an excellent way to boost your attacking options without spending coins.

Strategy for Completion
Since you only need to complete one of the two challenges to earn the main reward, focus on the 'Electric Striker' task if you have a fast frontline, or 'Dominant Finisher' if you prefer a more methodical approach in the box.
