The Grounds is a new game mode in EA Sports FC 27, where the Clubs and Rush game modes live, along with a bunch of new mini-games. In The Grounds, you’ll find four mentors, each with a pathway of milestones and objectives to complete. These tie into the FC 27 trophies and achievements, so if you’re chasing a Platinum trophy or 100% completion, you’ll need to work through them all.
So, we’ve put together this handy guide to walk you through each mentor’s objectives, so you know what you’re up against when tackling The Grounds in FC 27.
Kylian Mbappe Milestone Objectives
Kylian Mbappe’s objectives focus on the drop-in games around The Grounds. It’s worth noting that even early on, it can take a while to get into games, but the good news is that if an opponent forfeits, it still counts towards objectives.
You’ll be rewarded for each objective you complete, typically with coins or XP, and you will also earn cosmetic items for each group of objectives you complete.
Foundations
- Play 1v1 once
- Play 2v2 once
- Play 3v3 once
- Play Rush once
Playing the ranked version of any game mode will not count towards completing the objectives for the casual version. For example, playing Ranked Rush does not complete the “Play Rush once” objective for Mbappe.

Alex Hunter Milestone Objectives
Alex Hunter acts as your initial guide in The Grounds, and gets you introduced to all the other mentors. His objectives are much broader than any other mentor’s, but they should be among the easiest to complete as you progress while you work through the more specific objectives for everyone else.
