EA Sports FC 25is off to a fast start, with the first free objective card dropping immediately after the game’s early access period was released. During this exclusive period, you could only play EA Sports FC 25 if you preordered the game or by using the free trial option to access the game on your PC or console.
Luckily, the Flashback: David Alaba Objective challenge only has two simple tasks you’ll need to complete, but one can stop your progress dead in its tracks. While the two tasks you must complete seem simple, you must grind two squads worth of high-rated fodder cards (22 players) to acquire David Alaba for free.
This objective expires atreset timeon May 26, 2025.
What Are The Flashback: David Alaba Objectives?
While free player cards often have a designated theme for their objective tasks, David Alaba’s focuses on engaging withthe two core elements of Ultimate Team:
Completion Requirement
Flashback Upgrade
Complete the Flashback Upgrade SBC Group (submit an86 and 87-rated Squad).
Play One
As simple as it sounds –complete a matchin any Ultimate Team mode.
As such, you will not need to build a team themed around a certain league or nation as other objectives require.
However, youneed to play (or trade) to earn playersand coins to unlock the Flashback David Alaba card.
How To Complete The Flashback: David Alaba Objective
First up, go intoSquad Battles, Rivals, or the newly introducedRushgame mode to complete the first objective that asks you to play a game in an Ultimate Team Mode.
Win or lose, completing the match will tick the first box on your to-do list, but the second box won’t be nearly as easy.
You mustsubmit an 86-rated and 87-rated squad to complete the Flashback Upgrade SBC group,which will require you to collect 22 players rated 85-rated or above to complete this challenge.
The best way to efficiently complete SBCs in EA Sports FC 25depends on what fodder cards you have, but generally,the two-three-sixmethod is best.
The two-three-six methodworks as follows:
For example, to complete the 87-rated squad, you will needtwo 88s, three 87s, and six 86s.
What Do You Get For Finishing The Flashback: David Alaba Objective?
Group Reward
Once you’re able to grind out enough players to finish the SBC group, an87-rated David Alaba cardwill be yours, boasting solid defensive qualities that will helpbolster your LB position for the beginning of the game.
However, without a PlayStyle Plus, it’s hard to imagine this card will last beyond the first season, so you may be better offskipping out on Alabaif you’re strictly interested inthe most meta-relevant cards.
Even if you opt not to complete this objective, you’ll earn a 75-rated card just for playing Ultimate Team.
