EA FC 26 Competitive Catalyst Evolution: Best players to use, all upgrades, requirements, and more

EA Sports has released the second EVO of the ongoing FC Pro Live event, with the EA FC 26 Competitive Catalyst Evolution allowing gamers to create their very own overpowered playmaker on the virtual pitch. With such amazing upgrades on offer for a CAM of your choice, it comes as no surprise that the EVO requires either 400 FC points or 30,000 coins to be unlocked.

The FC Pro Live event is off to a great start, especially when it comes to the world of Evolutions. Fans received the amazing Estrella de Montcada EVO recently, which was aimed at upgrading strikers. However, the EA FC 26 Competitive Catalyst Evolution focuses on central attacking midfielders instead.
