How to get a financial takeover
EA FC 26’s Career Mode has been overhauled with new features like Deeper Simulation, but it’s still possible to request a boost for your transfer budget when you start the game if you’re looking to raise funds for a squad rebuild in your image.
Here’s how to add up to £1 billion to your bank balance for signing the game’s best coaches and players using the Financial Takeover option.
How to enable Financial Takeover in Career settings
EAWhen loading up a new Career Mode save, move to the right of the settings (beyond CPU sliders).
Under the ‘General Settings’ tab, scroll down to ‘Financial Takeover’ and set the desired amount.
You can request as little as £10m or as much as £1,000,000, but be sure to change the currency used via the option below (there are options for Sterling, Dollars, and Euros).
Can you get a Financial Takeover during a Career Mode save?
EA While you can only enable a Financial Takeover before starting your save, there are Unexpected Events that can impact your budget.
One of these is New Ownership, which can give you a financial boost, although that’s not guaranteed. In fact, new owners can increase the scrutiny on the team’s performances and potentially lead to you being sacked if results aren’t up to par.
There are also other Unexpected Events that can have an effect on funds, like the boardroom interference, banking malfunctions, or even a transfer embargo which means you can’t sign players regardless of your budget.
