FC 27 – Transfer Market Locked Due to Missing Foundations Objectives

Hi everyone,

I recently purchased FC 27 Ultimate Edition on Steam, and I’m having a really frustrating issue with Ultimate Team.

My Transfer Market is completely locked because the required Foundations objectives aren’t working properly.

“The Journey Begins” is missing, and “First Team Dreams” is locked with the message “Complete the previous chapter to unlock.”

The strange thing is that I’ve already played over 20 Ultimate Team matches, but even on the Companion App, the “Squad Up” objective still shows 0/1.

I’ve contacted EA Support multiple times. They confirmed this is a known issue affecting other players, but said they cannot unlock the market, restore the objectives, or provide an estimated fix date.

I paid for Ultimate Edition and just want to enjoy the game normally. Not being able to use the Transfer Market is seriously limiting my experience.

Has anyone found a working solution? And could someone from EA please provide an update on when this will be fixed?

I’d really appreciate any help. Thanks!
