EA Sports has released the EA FC 26 Backline Glow Evolution in Ultimate Team, allowing gamers to upgrade their low-tier centre-backs and provide them with a massive defensive boost on the virtual pitch. This is a paid EVO and requires either 10,000 coins or 200 FC Points, but the boosts on offer could make it worthwhile for the right players.

The Ratings Reload promo is now live in Ultimate Team, providing boosts to players who fans believe deserve higher overall ratings in the latest game. The EA FC 26 Backline Glow Evolution is the perfect addition for such an event, as it allows gamers to create their own defensive juggernaut by upgrading a low-rated defender.
