EA FC 26 The Big Fella Evolution: Best players to use, all upgrades, requirements, and more

EA Sports has released the EA FC 26 The Big Fella Evolution in Ultimate Team, allowing gamers to upgrade their midfielders on the virtual pitch and turn them into defensive beasts. This is a paid EVO and requires either 25,000 coins or 300 FC points to be unlocked, but the boosts on offer make it an absolute bargain.

This is the first paid EVO to be released as part of the fan-favorite Ultimate Scream promo, which is making a return to Ultimate Team after five years. Based on the description of the EVO, the EA FC 26 The Big Fella Evolution is based on former Belgian midfielder Marouane Fellaini, providing a midfielder of your choice with a massive defensive and physical upgrade.
