Quickest way to complete Football Fanatics 2 and Beerensteyn HM objectives in FC 26

The Lineth Beerensteyn TOTY HM and Football Fanatics 2 objectives are now live in FC 26, and you can combine the two to save plenty of time.

The two objectives combined include plenty of great rewards like special packs, a guaranteed promo card, and more. However, attempting to complete them separately will take plenty of time and energy. Instead, you can streamline the process with a tactical squad setup.

Best Football Fanatics 2 and Beerensteyn HM objective squad in FC 26

The Football Fanatics 2 and Beerensteyn TOTY HM objectives have their own set of tasks. Some are easy to complete, and you don’t have to pay any attention to them. Here are the tasks that have to be tackled strategically.

• Play a total of 25 matches
• Score 40 goals in total
• Score five goals with a Low-Driven shot using a D1 Arkema player
• Assist 7 goals with crosses using an English player
• Score in 15 matches using a Premier League player
• Assist in 15 matches using a LaLiga player
• Assist 6 goals using a GPFBL player

Here’s the optimized squad setup you’ll want to be using.

• One attacker from D1 Arkema.
• One winger from England (can also be a Premier League player).
• One Premier League player.
• One player from GPFBL.
• One LaLiga player.
• Four Dutch players (preferably in defense).
• One player from the WSL (preferably in defense).
• One Italian player (preferably in defense).

Once you start to complete the objectives partially, feel free to switch the positions of certain players. For example, if you complete assisting seven goals with crosses using English players, replace them with a GPFBL or LaLiga player to raise the chances of finishing the remaining tasks.

Ideally, it’s best to complete as many rounds as possible in the Golden Goal cup, as you can breeze through 25 games by doing so. That said, you can also complete the goal-scoring requirements in Squad Battles as you play against the AI, and don’t need to be concerned much with the results.

Free-to-play title Highguard is coming soon to PC and consoles, and this guide will help you keep track of the upcoming launch.

There has been plenty of debate and discussions ever since Highguard was revealed at The Game Awards last year. If you’re looking jump in right at launch, then you have come to the right place.

Highguard goes live on PC and consoles on Monday, Jan. 26. The release date has been known since the first reveal, and thankfully, there haven’t been any delays. The following countdown will expire once the game goes live across all global regions.

The countdown is based on the following timings.

• 10am PT
• 12pm CT
• 1pm ET
• 6pm UTC
• 7pm CET

The game will be available at the same time across all platforms. If you’re still on old-gen consoles, Highguard won’t be available for you to enjoy. It’s coming to PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC.

What to expect from Highguard

Highguard arrives from the makers of Titanfall and Apex Legends, and it’s a PvP raid shooter at its core. Players ride, raid, and fight one another to gain control of a mythical continent. While actual information is pretty sporadic at the time of writing, the key idea is pretty simple.

You’ll battle rival Warden crews to gain possession of the Shieldbreaker. Once done, you can break into and destroy the enemy base to gain victory. Of course, things won’t be easy when your opponents aim to do the same with your base. The fun begins on Monday, and it will be interesting to see if Highguard will manage to make a significant impact in an already-saturated genre.
