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

The Marc Cucurella TOTY HM and Football Fanatics objective went live on Jan. 16 in FC 26, and the two sets can take a significant amount of time to complete.

However, both objective sets offer excellent rewards that can provide you with a TOTY or two. At worst, you’ll get plenty of high-rated fodder to complete the valuable SBCs currently live in Ultimate Team. Let’s look at how you can combine all the tasks and finish both sets in the quickest possible time.

Best Football Fanatics and Cucurella HM objective squad in FC 26

Both the Football Fanatics Week 1 and Marc Cucurella TOTY HM objectives require you to use cards from specific nations and complete certain tasks. Here’s a quick rundown before we look into the squad.

• Score 12 goals with a Premier League player.
• Win 20 games.
• Score in 25 matches with a player having 4* Weak Foot or better.
• Assist in 15 matches with a Spanish player.
• Score in 15 matches with a French player.
• Assist with a cross in seven matches with a Portuguese player.
• Score a goal with a Finesse Shot in five matches with a Norwegian player.

There are a few additional minor tasks as well, but the ones mentioned above are the harder ones. Let’s take a look at the optimum squad combination.

• One Norwegian player
• One Polish player (for seven games)
• One Portuguese player
• One French player
• Four Spanish players
• One Liga F player
• One Ligue 1 player
• One Premier League player

This squad combination will eventually help you to fast-track the completion process. You can complete the tasks in different Ultimate Team modes. My favorite is the Season 4 Cup, as there’s a Golden Goal rule. The rule will help you finish the objectives more quickly.

However, you can only play the Season 4 Gold Cup a set number of times daily. If you don’t want to wait, you can try your luck with Squad Battles. Make sure the difficulty of the games is above Semi-Pro, and you should be completing both objectives in no time.

Earth of Oryn could become the perfect January launch for those who are into city-building and resource management titles, and its release is almost here.

Originally meant for launch last year, we have had to wait till the first month of January. Earth of Oryn will be released exclusively on Steam, and this guide will help you keep track of the upcoming release.

Earth of Oryn release countdown

Earth of Oryn will be going live globally on Jan. 19. It’s unlikely that there will be any more delays at this late stage, and the following countdown will expire once the game goes live.

[hurrytimer id=”1167165″]

The countdown is based on the following timings.

• 8am PT
• 10am CT
• 11am ET
• 4pm UTC
• 5pm CET

You can wishlist Earth of Oryn as of writing. There’s no pre-purchase, so we will have to wait for the launch to go live before we can purchase. The timings mentioned here are based on the information available on SteamDB.

What to expect from Earth of Oryn

Earth of Oryn puts you in charge of starting a new town in Brandford and building it one block at a time. Place houses, roads, workshops, and markets for your townsfolk to survive and thrive. As your town expands, so will its population.

With a modular building system, you’ll be able to give a personal touch to your base. There are research and new technologies available for you to discover on your journey. From the town design to managing its people and resources, you’ll need to do it all. More features are expected to be added later down the line as Earth of Oryn spends more months in early access.

If you want to check it out, there’s a free demo currently available on Steam. While it’s very early access, the last time I played, it will undoubtedly give you a good overview of what to expect.
