The FUTTIES celebration in EA Sports FC 24 is in full swing, bringing with it a host of Squad Building Challenges (SBCs), top-tier objective cards, and weekly challenges like the FUTTIES Mohammed Kudus challenge. Among the latest releases is the FUTTIES Matteo Stoppa objective, a must-complete for players looking to bolster their defensive line. While Stoppa may not be a household name, his Premium FUTTIES card offers a solid defensive option for your squad.
Objective Overview
Matteo Stoppa's FUTTIES card is a nod to his defensive prowess and Italian heritage. As a center-back currently plying his trade in Serie B, Stoppa may not have the star power of elite defenders like Virgil van Dijk, but he offers excellent attributes for a solid defense. With 95-rated stats, this card can serve as a strong temporary option while you work on upgrading your team.
The FUTTIES: Matteo Stoppa objective is available until August 14, 2024, giving you ample time to complete the tasks and add this defender to your squad.
What Are the FUTTIES: Matteo Stoppa Objectives?
The objectives for Matteo Stoppa are straightforward and reflect his defensive skill set. Here's what you need to do:
Sharp Finisher: Score five goals using players from Italy.
Italian Shield: Concede no more than one goal per match in four separate matches.
Play Five: Play five matches.
Victory Mindset: Win four matches.
These challenges can be completed in Squad Battles (minimum Semi-Pro difficulty) or online in either Rivals or Champions. The simplicity of the tasks makes this objective a must-complete, especially considering the 95-rated card as a reward.
How to Complete the FUTTIES: Matteo Stoppa Objectives Quickly
Completing the FUTTIES: Matteo Stoppa objectives doesn't require much effort, but a few tips can help you finish them even faster.
1. Selecting the Right Italian Player
The first objective requires you to score five goals with an Italian player. While Italian attackers aren't common in most meta squads, you can easily add one to your starting lineup or bench. Here are some top Italian players in EA FC 24 that you can use:
Federico Dimarco (Inter Milan)
Davide Frattesi (Inter Milan)
Antonio Di Natale (Hero)
Federico Chiesa (Juventus)
Stephan El Shaarawy (Roma)
Andrea Pirlo (Icon)
Alessandro Del Piero (Icon)
Gianluca Vialli (Hero)
Mario Balotelli (Adana Demirspor)
Lorenzo Insigne (Toronto FC)
Domenico Berardi (Sassuolo)
If you don't have any of these players in your squad, many of them can be purchased cheaply from the market and sold after you're done with the objective.
2. Team Setup and Match Strategy
Once you've chosen your Italian player, make sure they're in your starting lineup or on the bench so you can substitute them in as needed. Your goal is to score five goals with any Italian player, win four of the five matches, and concede one or fewer goals in four separate matches. Here's how to optimize your approach:
Score Five Goals: Focus on scoring quickly with your Italian player to get this objective out of the way. Consider playing in Squad Battles on Semi-Pro difficulty if you want an easier time finding the back of the net.
Win Four Matches: Prioritize winning the matches while working on the other objectives. You can combine this with the “Italian Shield” objective by playing solid defense.
Concede One or Fewer Goals: To fulfill this requirement, ensure your defense is strong. Playing on lower difficulty settings in Squad Battles can help you maintain a clean sheet or limit your opponent to just one goal.
