EA FC 26 Darlington Nagbe Cornerstones objective: All tasks and rewards

With the Cornerstones promo now being live as the very first event of the latest cycle, EA Sports has released the EA FC 26 Darlington Nagbe Cornerstones objective in Ultimate Team. This objective allows gamers to get their hands on an 83-rated version of the MLS midfielder, which has received some impressive upgrades on the virtual pitch.

This is somewhat similar to the Arnau Martinez objective set, as it offers boosts to an underrated player who plays an important role for his team. However, the EA FC 26 Darlington Nagbe Cornerstones objective is slightly different as it can be completed in game modes like Squad Battles, whereas Arnau Martinez had to be unlocked via Live Events.

The EA FC 26 Darlington Nagbe Cornerstones objective is now available in Ultimate Team

The Cornerstones promo squad is now available in packs, with massive names like Federico Valverde, Bruno Fernandes and Cole Palmer being part of the roster. However, this event also pays tribute to lower-tier players who are pivotal to their team's success despite not being as popular. The EA FC 26 Darlington Nagbe Cornerstones objective is the perfect example.
