EA FC 26 Born to Shine Evolution: Best players to use, all upgrades, requirements, and more

EA Sports has released the EA FC 26 Born to Shine Evolution in Ultimate Team, allowing gamers to upgrade their strikers on the virtual pitch and provide them with a well-rounded boost. This is a paid EVO and requires either 25,000 coins or 400 FC Points to be unlocked, but the boosts on offer could make this worthwhile for the right players.

This is the first EVO to be released during Ratings Reload Team 2. This promo focuses on providing boosts to players that fans believe deserve higher overall ratings. This makes the EA FC 26 Born to Shine Evolution an ideal addition to this event, as it transforms low-tier strikers into effective attackers on the virtual pitch.
