Season 2 of FC 26 is themed around the 1970 World Cup in Mexico, celebrating one of football’s greatest tournaments. Brazil lifted the trophy that year, and this season highlights several legends from that iconic era. The new World Tour Silver Superstars include Pelé, Jairzinho, Carlos Alberto, Gerd Müller, and Franz Beckenbauer.
Unlike last season, which honored England’s 1966 triumph, Season 2 shines a light on the Brazilian and German icons who defined the 1970s football scene.
These players come with individual objectives that can seem overwhelming at first, but there’s a smart way to complete all of them together.
All Silver Superstar Icons in Season 2: Mexico ’70
Each Silver Superstar can be unlocked by completing only one of the two objectives tied to them. This means you don’t need to do both tasks to earn the player, which saves a lot of time if you plan your squad right.

How to complete all objectives at once
It might look like a long grind, but there’s a simple strategy that lets you unlock all five Silver Superstars in just 40 games. By building one optimized squad, you can complete all five objectives simultaneously.
Your Squad Battles Team:
- 6 Brazilian players (make sure at least 1 is a defender)
- 3 Bayern Munich players
- 1 German CDM
Difficulty: Semi-Pro (Squad Battles, Rush, Rivals, or Champions)
Target: Win 40 games by at least 2 goals
Step-by-step plan:
- Build the squad listed above.
- Focus your assists on your German CDM in the first 15 wins to unlock Beckenbauer.
- Score and win consistently to progress Pelé, Müller, and Jairzinho’s conditions at the same time.
- Keep the Brazilian and Bayern Munich players in your lineup for every match to ensure all objectives track together.
- Win each match by two or more goals to complete Pelé’s “Brazilian Magic” task, which finishes everything in 40 games or less.
Final tips for the grind
- Use Squad Battles to stay in control of the pace and difficulty.
- Rotate your attackers so your RW (for Jairzinho) and CAM (for Pelé) both contribute.
- Don’t waste time on both tasks for a player: pick the fastest one for your setup.
- Track your progress in-game to confirm each challenge updates correctly.
With this method, you can unlock Pelé, Jairzinho, Carlos Alberto, Gerd Müller, and Franz Beckenbauer efficiently without any extra matches.
