Want to unlock FUTTIES Callum Wilson as fast as possible? The Pre-Season Wilson objective can be finished in just 8 games. More importantly, this is Week 1 of the massive Pre-Season Completionist group, which grants incredible rewards for both FC 26 and a valuable head start in the upcoming EA FC 27.
Here is exactly how to set up your squad and what to focus on in each match so you can get it done efficiently.
Pre-Season Wilson objectives reference
Play 5 matches with min. 3 Premier League players starting
Score 5 goals with a ST
Win 3 matches by 2 or more goals with min. 2 English players starting
Win 8 matches with min. 6 First Owned players starting
Note: Make sure you check the exact objective wording in-game before you start, so you do not miss a specific stat requirement and have to play extra games.
Best way to complete the Callum Wilson objective
The cleanest way to complete this objective is by splitting your matches between Squad Battles (Min. Semi-Pro) for the specific stat grinding and Live Events for quicker matches to farm the remaining wins.
Because the requirements overlap so well, you can build one simple squad and clear everything simultaneously:
Squad setup:
- 3x Premier League players.
- 2x English players.
- 6x First Owned players.
Callum Wilson objective squad setup
Games 1-3: Squad Battles (Min. Semi-Pro)
Your first three matches are the most important for knocking out the specific goals and win margins. Play these in Squad Battles so you can easily control the game.
What to do in each game:
- Win the match by 2 or more goals.
- Score at least 5 total goals across these games using a ST.
If you are playing on Semi-Pro, securing a 2-goal lead and scoring with your Striker should be a breeze early in the match.
Games 4-8: Live Events
By this point, you should have the 2-goal win margins and striker goals finished. Take your exact same squad into Live Events to knock out the remaining matches much faster.
What to finish off:
- Win the remaining 5 games.
- Cross the 5-game threshold for having 3 Premier League players in your starting 11 (this will pop automatically during this phase).
