Smart Completion Strategy
Efficiency First: The objectives stack naturally—scoring in 10 matches automatically completes the 3-match and 8-match scoring tasks. Focus on winning while scoring at least one goal per match to maximize progress across all objectives simultaneously.
Formation Tip: Deploy attacking formations like 4-3-3 or 4-2-3-1 to generate consistent scoring chances. Gnabry himself excels in these systems, making him worth the 10-15 match investment.
The Exhibition format removes pressure—there’s no knockout bracket or limited entries, so you can experiment with tactics without fear. This makes it ideal for testing new formations or practicing skill moves before jumping into competitive modes.

Time-Limited Opportunity
The Winter Wildcards Exhibition objective expires next week, giving you approximately 7 days to complete all tasks. With roughly 10-12 matches needed for full completion, dedicating 2-3 sessions should secure Gnabry without rushing.
Pack rewards come untradeable, but during the Winter Wildcards promo window, they offer enhanced chances at special items from both team releases. For official promo details and exact expiration times, visit the EA Sports FC 26 Winter Wildcards hub.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can I complete Exhibition tasks in other game modes like Squad Battles or Division Rivals?
No, all tasks specifically require matches played in the Winter Wildcards Exhibition Live Event mode. Squad Battles, Division Rivals, and Champions matches won’t count toward this objective. You must select the Exhibition event from the Live Events menu to track progress correctly.
Q: Do I need to win matches for the scoring objectives, or just score goals?
The scoring objectives (score in 3, 8, and 10 matches) only require you to score at least one goal per match—wins aren’t necessary for these specific tasks. However, you’ll need 5 wins for a separate objective, so focusing on winning while scoring makes the grind more efficient. Losses still count toward the “Play 2” and “Play 5” completion tasks.
