In FIFA 21, you can secure a new special card for your team through the challenges. Headliner Matheus Cunha fits particularly well with Bundesliga teams that need reinforcement in midfield.
This is the card: The new special card is a Headliner item. This means: The card gets better every time Matheus Cunha receives a performance-based special card, such as a TOTW card, or when his club, Hertha BSC, wins four consecutive matches in the league. So far, Cunha has had a TOTW card.
Whether the card will receive many upgrades is uncertain. So far, Hertha BSC has not been able to celebrate four consecutive victories this season. However, even without an upgrade, the card looks quite good.
The new Cunha card is based in the CAM position and brings good ratings in all offensive areas. Especially in dribbling, Cunha can impress. He should be a good playmaker in central midfield if you are looking for a player to direct your attacks. Additionally, he has a good combination of four stars on his weak foot and skill moves.
You can use Cunha in pure Bundesliga teams or create hybrids with Brazilian players. The best part about the card is that you can obtain it completely without using coins. You just have to complete some challenges.
This is how you get Cunha through the challenges in FUT
This is what you have to do: In total, you must complete five challenges, all of which take place in the live FUT friendship game mode “Headliner Challenge”. The tasks are as follows:
- Now it’s getting hot: Score a goal from outside the penalty area in a win.
- Hot Samba: Record a goal and an assist with Brazilian players in two separate victories.
- Temperature rise: Record an assist via through pass with players who have at least a four-star weak foot in three separate victories.
- Headline Hero: Win four matches in “Headliner Challenge”.
- Goal streak: Score in 10 separate games with Bundesliga players.
What you need to consider: As mentioned, all these tasks must be completed in the friendship game mode “Headliner Challenge”, not in Rivals or similar. This brings you some advantages.
The “Headliner Challenge” has a special feature. The matches are played in the “Max Chem” mode. This means: Your team gets full chemistry, regardless of position or links. This means: You can basically set up anyone you want. However, the requirement is that you use at least 7 different leagues.
This is how you complete the challenges: You should definitely use one or more decent Bundesliga offensive players who can quickly get you the goals for the “Goal streak” task. There are many options, from Lewandowski to Haaland to various cards from Plea, Hazard, Victor, Bebou, or Gnabry. How to score quickly can be found here.
Additionally, you need players who have at least four stars on their weak foot. In the Bundesliga, these include players like Lewandowski, Kimmich, Gnabry, Reus, Brandt, Müller, and many others. However, it’s not mandatory that this player comes from the Bundesliga.
Furthermore, you also need a good long-range shooter for the goal from outside and a Brazilian player. Keep in mind: In friendly matches, you can also use loan players without their contract limits decreasing. This means you can easily use loan players like Mbappé, Maradona, or similarly powerful cards if you have them as loan items in your club. Given the requirements of the Headliner Challenge, there are hardly any limits.
You can also use the challenges well to try out other players besides the usual suspects. You can find some inexpensive players for your team here.
