The new EA FC 26 Season is here, bringing to players a new Season Pass ladder and a novel selection of 10 Silver Stars Icons, featuring beasts like Paolo Maldini, John Barnes, Rudi Voller, and of course, the Black Tulip himself, Ruud Gullit.

But did you know that it is actually possible to unlock all 10 Icons after a single day of grinding? So you can start glitching their way into the meta early on, here’s how to unlock all Season 4 World Tour Silver Icons in one day on EA FC 26.

How To Unlock All 10 Season 4 World Tour Silver Stars Icons Fast In EA FC 26

As none of the above contradict one another, you can easily unlock all Season 4 World Tour Silver Stars Icons in EA FC 26 by heading to Squad Battles and completing Semi-Pro matches with a team featuring the below:

  • Six German Players (Make sure to have Rudiger and Ter Stegen in the squad for the Gheorghe Hagi, Rudi Völler, and Jürgen Kohler objectives)
  • Three Bundesliga Representatives (Ideally, Harry Kane + two to easily complete the Gary Lineker Objective without drawbacks or the need for extra games).
  • Two Italian players, one CB and one CM.
  • Two Premier League Dutch players (Even if out of position, use one of them to get the 20 Power Shot Goals needed to unlock Gullit early)

When building your team, having Florian Wirtz can be a lifesaver, as he fits both the German and Premier League requirements. He can also be acquired from the market for under 15K. For those looking for something more specific, here’s the exact starting 11 I’m using to unlock the Silver Icons. All promo players can be replaced by their standard cards without issue, or in the case of Brand, Giugliano, and Bastoni, by any German or Italian picks available in your club.
