Future Star, as the first event after TOTY, performed quite well. However, this promotion is almost over, so let's turn our attention to the next promotion, Knockout Royalty.

Currently, all the players for Knockout Royalty Team 1 have been leaked, and many of them look promising. Besides these players, let's see how you can prepare. 

Knockout Royalty Theme

EA FC 26 plans to have a theme for each promo, and these themes are generally related to football matches. Knockout Royalty promotion corresponds to the knockout stage and focuses on players who perform well in the knockout stages and help their teams win. It evolved from Road to the Final.

Like Future Star, Knockout Royalty promo has two teams: Team 1 will be released on February 13th, and Team 2 will be released on February 20th. From the leaked information, the players for Knockout Royalty Team 1 are very strong.

Knockout Royalty Team 1 Leaks

Thanks to the card boosts from TOTY, the leaked lineup of Knockout Royalty Team 1 is quite strong, with even the lowest overall rating reaching 88 OVR. While they might not be the strongest, they are still decent fodder cards.

A significant portion of the leaked Team 1 players have two Playstyle+ cards. Based on Future Star's market trading experience, any player with two Playstyle+ cards can fetch more FC 26 coins, even if their Playstyle+ stats aren't particularly high.

The following is the leaked player roster:

How to Invest?

TOTW Cards

Based on market trends over the past two weeks, TOTW Cards remain the safest and most sustainable investment option. While the return on a single card won't be high, it's very safe and generally appreciates steadily.

Besides being fodder cards, their most important function is their potential participation in future Evolution events. Once these TOTY cards become one of the best choices for EVO, their market value will increase.

Invest in Common Cards with Caution

Currently, common cards with 84 OVR are priced around 16,500 coins. These cards are usually not the best choice for Evolution and have almost no other use besides being fodder cards, so their value may soon drop. It's recommended that you concentrate your coins on TOTY cards with unique attributes or low total scarcity.

At the same time, remember to reserve some coins, as the market is often most volatile at the beginning of a new promotion, with many intensive short-term trades. Quick flips on new promotional cards at this time can allow you to make a profit.

That concludes this promotion. Knockout Royalty Team 1 will be bringing it soon; we hope you get your desired player cards.

FC 26 Future Stars is the latest event launched by the official FIFA team on January 30th. This event aims to showcase young, promising, and widely considered players, issuing enhancement cards to highlight their potential.

Currently, Future Stars Team 1 is nearing its end, with Team 2 set to launch on February 6th at 6 PM GMT. Because the player roster will only be revealed when the event officially begins, it has once again fueled player curiosity and speculation about the new lineup.

Team 2 Roster Leaked

Although the official Team 2 roster has not yet been announced, numerous leaked lists have surfaced. Based on these leaked lists, we can speculate on which players FIFA 26 is primarily focused on, and players can also make bold predictions about which players might be added.

Team 2 leaked roster

• Fermin Lopez (Barcelona)
• Lennart Karl (Bayern Munich)
• Nico Paz (Como)
• Dean Huijsen (Real Madrid)
• Riccardo Calafiori (Arsenal)

• Gareth Bale (Icon)
• Paul Scholes (Icon)
• Eden Hazard (Hero)
• Ricardo Carvalho (Hero)
• Alex Scott (Hero)

Player Characteristics

Based on the leaked list above, it's clear that these players have already demonstrated their skills and style on the pitch. However, the official team believes their true potential hasn't been fully realized, and they intend to showcase their maximum potential through the special cards in EA FC 26 Future Stars.

The players on the list are primarily in core positions such as central midfielders, wingers, and center forwards, with almost no functional substitutes.

Further subdividing these players, they can be roughly divided into the following categories.

Rising Star

Fermin Lopez (Barcelona)

• Characteristics: High-intensity forward-moving central midfielder, energetic running, strong long-range shooting ability

Lennart Karl (Bayern Munich)

• Characteristics: Fast, explosive, excellent at dribbling down the flanks

Dean Huijsen (Real Madrid)

• Characteristics: Tall and long-armed, excellent at distributing the ball from center-back

Riccardo Calafiori (Arsenal)

• Characteristics: Can play center-back and left-back, strong in physical battles, good game reading ability

Technical Player

Alberto Moleiro (Villarreal)

• Strengths: Good goal-scoring instinct, excellent positioning

Women's Soccer Players (combines technique with pace)

Manaka Matsukubo (North Carolina Courage)

• Strengths: Agile, excellent off-the-ball movement

Riley Tiernan (Angel City) / Loreen Bender (Bayer Leverkusen)

• Strengths: Young, fast, high growth potential

Based on the currently leaked FC 26 Future Stars Team 2 roster, it's easy to see that Team 2 players cover multiple positions and have distinct strengths. Combining this with their real-world performance, players can deduce their approximate roles in the game. Players can use this information to develop their own ideas and quickly build their own team after the official roster is announced.

How to obtain player special cards?

Everyone is undoubtedly interested in FUT 26 Future Stars Team 2, but how do you obtain player special cards? This requires waiting for the official roster announcement, the relevant player cards will appear in card packs, which you can choose to draw from. Alternatively, you can participate in SBC for a chance to obtain specific cards. If you want to further enrich your gaming experience, you can also try to acquire player packs, consumables, and other items, but this requires having enough FC 26 coins.

Player Opinions

Most players have high expectations for FC 26 Future Stars because the event is highly engaging. Players can learn about more outstanding players through the event list and experience the joy of participating in their development. Especially in past events, the event successfully predicted the rise of players like Erling Haaland and Jude Bellingham, and players hope their chosen players will become future football stars.

EA FC 26 Future Stars also serves as a bridge connecting players and fans. Athletes feel honored and encouraged to be included in the future stars list, while fans are happy to see their favorite players grow stronger.

Finally, let's all look forward to the announcement of the Team 2 roster.

With the end of Team of the Year promotion, Future Star Promo launches this Friday, along with FUT 26 Season 5 France '98 Battle Pass. 

This is a very short pass, but its generous rewards have led many players to consider it the most valuable season yet. So, should you unlock Premium Pass?

Season 5 Pass Rewards

Season 5 Battle Pass still features a Free Pass and a Premium Pass. Although the rewards are limited to 30 tiers, the quality of the rewards hasn't been reduced; in fact, it's arguably improved, especially in terms of players and EVO. Unlocking Premium Pass still requires 1000 FC Points or 500,000 FC 26 coins.

This Season Pass is themed around 1998 World Cup victory (France beat Brazil 3-0), so the rewarded players are primarily from France and Brazil. These players have excellent chemistry and can become key players on the team.

Early Pass Rewards

The initial free rewards are quite generous, with a 5× 80+ Rare Gold Players Pack given at level 1, and subsequent tiers also include high-quality card packs such as 83+11.

Mid Pass Rewards

Free Pass rewards remain substantial in the mid-game. For example, at level 23, you can obtain 15 x 84+ Rare Gold Players Packs, giving you the chance to acquire decent players beyond just fodder cards. In comparison, Premium Pass reward packs (such as 5 x 84) seem relatively ordinary.

89 OVR Mohamed Simakan World Tour, a level 20 reward, is a highly regarded center-back card with nearly a complete defensive playing style.

89 OVR Delphine Cascarino World Tour (Free Pass) and 90 OVR Sandy Baltimore World Tour (Premium Pass) at level 15 are also two very good cards. They can be played as a left winger and a right winger respectively, and both cards have a 5-star skill.

Late Pass Rewards

At level 30 of Free Pass, players can choose between 90 OVR Michael Owen Icon and 5 x 88+ Rare Gold Players Packs. Michael Owen boasts a 90 shooting rating and Finesse Shot+ and Quick Step+ skills, making him a formidable striker.

Premium Pass's level 30 reward is either 91 OVR Emmanuel Petit Icon or 6 x 87+ Rare Gold Players Packs. Emmanuel Petit is a powerful defender card, and his Intercept+ and Tiki Taka+ skills are very useful defensively.

Should You Unlock Premium Pass?

This Future Star Pass offers high-quality rewards, with an exceptionally rich selection of evolutions and very strong players. The two icons awarded later in the game can even be used as your starting players.

If you want to unlock Premium Pass, using FC 26 points is more cost-effective, allowing you to save coins for the transfer market.

For free players with 500,000 idle coins, the return on investment for this Premium Pass looks quite good, so you might consider unlocking it.

Overall, Season 5 Pass rewards are significantly better than those of previous seasons, with the rewards for unlocking the Premium Pass being even better. However, the player pack rewards offered by Premium Pass are noticeably weaker than free pass at many levels, so having only the free pass won't result in a significant loss.

All players for EA FC 26 TOTY have been revealed. Now it's time to open card packs to acquire these top players.

SBCs, Evolutions, and Objects, etc., FUT 26 offers many ways to collect card packs, but you might not know where to start. So let's systematically introduce how you should acquire these top player cards.

Priority Objectives

Many players overlook an important objective: Ultimate Gauntlet. You should prioritize completing it because it yields a large number of high-rated card packs, and the final reward is a 7x 86+ Rare Gold Players Pack. Even if the cards aren't from TOTY, they are still valuable.

In addition, while Live Event missions can be a bit tedious, they are still worth completing for a 3x 86+ Rare Gold Players Pack. Gold Stand Cup also offers a 3x 86+ Rare Gold Players Pack. In short, you currently have a large number of objectives to complete.

Daily SBCs

Currently, you only need to focus on the following four SBCs:

• Daily Login: Submit one Bronze Card to receive one Gold Pack, and receive additional Evolution items or more packs based on your progress.
• Bronze Upgrade: Very simple. Submit 5 Bronze Cards to this SBC, and you will receive 5 Bronze Packs.
• Silver Upgrade: Same as above, submit 1 Silver Card to receive 1 Silver Pack.
• Daily Gold Common Upgrade: Requires 1 Bronze Card and 1 Silver Card (obtained by opening the packs mentioned above). After submission, you will receive 11x Gold Player Packs.

These Upgrade SBCs can be repeated 5 times, meaning you can ultimately obtain 55 Gold Cards for free (5 Rare, 50 Common).

League Upgrades

After completing the daily basic SBCs, you need to focus on the following three upgrade challenges. While there are other add-ons, these three are the most crucial:

• Mixed League Upgrade
• Premium Mixed League Upgrade
• 5 of 10 78+ Player Pick

How to Categorize Player Cards?

Before starting to upgrade SBCs, please open all the gold packs you obtain. This is to find specific player cards to maintain the subsequent upgrade cycle. Players obtained from Gold Packs can be roughly divided into two categories:

• League SBC Related Cards: Player cards from specific leagues, which can be used in the corresponding Premium Mixed League Upgrade.
• Universal Upgrade Material Cards: Common Gold Players and Rare Gold Players, which can be used for other upgrades.

Common Gold Players can be used in League-Specific Gold Common Upgrades, which will reward you with 1 Rare Gold Player and 3 Common Gold Players (all from the selected league).

Rare Gold players can be used for a League-Specific Gold Rare Upgrade, which grants 3 Rare Gold players and approximately 8 regular Gold players.

Player cards from the 8 core leagues (regardless of Bronze, Silver, or Gold) should be reserved for their respective SBCs. Any player card not belonging to these 8 core leagues can be freely used for any other Upgrade.

• Roshn Saudi League
• Serie BKT
• Superliga
• Bundesliga 2
• Ligue 2 BKT
• LALIGA HyperMotion
• MLS
• EFL

How to Handle High-rated Players?

Before embarking on a large-scale League Upgrade, prioritize completing 5 of 10 78+ OVR Player Pick SBC. These provide a large number of high-rated fodder players, such as those rated 82, 83, 84, 85, or even higher. These high-rated players can be used in other high-value SBCs, such as:

• TOTW SBCs
• 2 x 86+ Upgrade
• 10 x 83+ Upgrade
• Specific player SBCs you wish to build

All players rated 82 and above should only be used in the above SBCs. Players rated 81 and below should be used in the previously mentioned League Upgrade or Standard Upgrade.

Shop And Other Resources

In addition to the above, there are some noteworthy rewards in the in-game shop, such as 10 Coin Packs and 2500 Coin Player Pick Packs.

10 Coin Packs, costing only 10 FC 26 coins, can be exchanged for 3 rare gold players. Sometimes you might even get special cards, and even without them, they can provide materials for your upgrade cycle. After opening packs, follow the same classification principles to handle players.

Additionally, the shop may also offer players and packs for 3000 coins, which are very valuable because a single pack contains almost all the materials needed to complete a double 86+ SBC or ten 83+ SBCs.

In addition, don't overlook event campaigns, which contain many easily obtainable card packs. Challenges under the SBC tab (which rewards Prime Gold Players Packs) and Marquee Matchups contain a large number of card packs, and we recommend completing them.

If you consistently complete the above daily, your club will accumulate a large number of player cards, allowing you to begin cycling through all other upgrades and SBCs. After completing the above steps, you can open card packs obtained through other means and disassemble player cards using the same logic: league-related cards for league SBCs, and cards with 82+ points for high-value SBCs.

EA FC 26 Team of the Year event is about to begin. This official event, held annually in January, aims to recognize the best players of the year. However, before the full TOTY lineup is released, FC 26 will launch TOTY Warm Up event.

Warm Up event is currently underway. This short but valuable event includes various objectives, Live Events, evolution items, and rewards, all designed to help you accumulate card packs and strengthen your player lineup.

So now is the perfect time to accumulate high-value card packs and enhancement items. Below, I will introduce the key information about this Team of the Year Warm Up in detail.

What is TOTY Warm Up?

TOTY Warm Up is a limited-time promotional event held by FIFA 26, launched before the official Team of the Year lineup event. This Warm Up helps you prepare for the official launch of TOTY. Complete specific tasks to earn card packs and other valuable items, preparing for the official release of Team of the Year cards in the game.

This Warm Up event includes the following:

• A Live Event mode with objectives directly linked to rewards;
• Evolutions that allow you to upgrade specific players;
• Completing objectives and SBCs will reward you with card packs and consumables.

The focus of Warm Up is accumulating value, especially card packs that you should save and open after TOTY officially launch, as opening them too early will significantly reduce your chances of obtaining Team of the Year items.

How to effectively participate in the event?

To effectively participate in this Warm Up, you can first find and participate in Live Events mode in the game. However, please note that not all players can participate in this event. You need to meet the following team requirements:

• You must have at least four players with an OVR of 88 or higher;
• The player with the highest OVR in the team cannot exceed 86.

These strict requirements are designed to create a competitive yet accessible platform for players to successfully complete the objectives.

• Note: This Warm Up event is time-limited, so remember to complete it before the official Team of the Year launch.

TOTY Warm Up Missions and Rewards

Warm Up event features six mission objectives. Completing these objectives will reward you with various untradeable card packs and evolution items. All of these items will be very useful when Team of the Year is released, so it's recommended that you save them for the official event.

Here are the specific mission objectives and rewards:

Play 1:

• Complete one match in TOTY Warm Up Live Event
• Reward: A 5x 81+ Rare Gold Players Pack

Score 1:

• Score 1 goal in TOTY Warm Up Live Event
• Reward: A Cosmetic Evolution

Play 3:

• Complete 3 matches in TOTY Warm Up Live Event
• Reward: A 5x 82+ Rare Gold Players Pack

Score in 6:

• Score a goal in 6 different matches in TOTY Warm Up Live Event
• Reward: A PS/PS+ Evolution

Win 6:

• Win 6 matches in TOTY Warm Up Live Event
• Reward: A 2x 84+ Rare Gold Players Pack

Score in 12:

• Score a goal in 12 different matches in TOTY Warm Up Live Event
• Reward: A 2x 84+ Rare Gold Players Pack Pack

Each match you play will count towards multiple objectives, so even if you can't complete all of them at once, you'll still reap rewards as long as you participate.

Although there are 6 objectives in this event, you only need to complete 5, reducing the pressure.

Warming Up Evolutions

Note that this evolution isn't free. If you want to upgrade your player, you'll need 10,000 FC 26 coins to begin the evolution journey.

Player Total Upgrades:

• Overall: +1
• Pace: +2 (Max 87)
• Shooting: +1 (Max 87)
• Passing: +2 (Max 87)
• Dribbling: +2 (Max 87)
• Defending: +1 (Max 87)
• Physical: +1 (Max 87)

Evolution Requirements:

• Overall: Max 86
• Not Rarity: World Tour Silver Stars
• Not Position: Goalkeeper

Evolution Tasks:

• Level 1: Play at least 2 semi-professional matches (or Rush, Rivals, Champions, Live Events modes) in Squad Battles mode using an EVO player active in the game.
• Level 2: Play 1 match in Squad Battles mode at the lowest semi-professional difficulty (or Rush, Rivals, Champions, Live Events modes) using an EVO player active in the game.

Since this evolution is a paid event, you'll need to carefully consider which of your player cards are suitable for participation.

Recommended cards include Cristiano Ronaldo's Gold Rare card (OVR 85) and Fermin's Winter Wildcards SBC card (OVR 86).

Tips for participating in Warm Up Event

1. Participate in matches daily

Even if you're busy, logging in and participating in a few Live Events will quickly accumulate progress towards your goals.

2. Build a suitable player team

Build a team that meets the event's rating requirements to minimize stress and achieve your objectives.

3. Save your card packs wisely

This is the most important tip for participating in Warm Up event: don't open card packs immediately after obtaining them.

It's best to wait until Team of the Year event officially launches, when card packs will contain Team of the Year players and other special cards.

By focusing on Live Event objectives, using Evolution wisely, and stockpiling card packs during promotional events, you can strengthen your team.

In any case, make the most of TOTY Warm Up event at FC 26, and good luck getting the cards you want!

EA FC 26 will launch one of its most important promotional events of 2026, Team of the Year, in mid-January. The official pre-promotion has begun 10 days in advance.

Player voting has begun, and new players and icons may be added during this promotion. Let's take a look at what's worth paying attention to and looking forward to.

TOTY Event Guide

TOTY promotion allows players to vote for the best players in world football in 2025. These players will receive special edition TOTY cards with extremely high ratings and attribute boosts, typically becoming one of the strongest cards of the season.

Players can vote in-game or on the official website to choose who should be included in Team of the Year. After voting ends, the official team will combine community votes and their own selections to form the final FC 26 Men's and Women's TOTY 11s.

Loan Players

Voting for Team of the Year is now officially underway. Meanwhile, players will be able to obtain a free loan option for a group of Team of the Year nominees, similar to FC 25 last year, but on a larger scale. Players will be able to obtain:

• 3 attackers on loan from 27 nominees
• 3 midfielders on loan from 35 nominees
• 4 defenders on loan from 20 nominees

These are not single-match loans, but unlimited loans for 7 days. This means that, theoretically, each player can build a squad almost entirely composed of Team of the Year nominees and use them freely for the following week.

While this may diminish the uniqueness of Team of the Year cards themselves, it is likely a strategy adopted by the organizers to increase player activity.

TOTY Date

A new feature of this year's TOTY promotion is the introduction of TOTY Men's and Women's Captains. Here is the expected event timeline:

• January 7th: Voting begins.
• January 16th: Attacker lineup released, usually including TOTY Icons.
• January 18th: Midfield lineup released.
• January 20th: Defenders and goalkeeper lineup released.
• January 22nd: Full TOTY Squad released, along with TOTY Icon Team 2.
• Late January: Event nears its end, all TOTY Team and Icon cards are available for acquisition, and Honorable Mentions cards are released.

Lineup Predictions

Pina is almost certain to be included, and this card has been a beast in FC 26. If her TOTY item receives meta PlayStyle+, this card will almost completely disrupt the game's balance.

Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo are again nominated. If the voting is entirely community-driven, they also have a strong chance of making the starting eleven.

In terms of specific results, voting results are sometimes not entirely based on a player's actual performance in 2025. Players may vote for their favorite players to obtain the corresponding gold cards, making the actual results unpredictable.

TOTY SBCs

It is predictable that a large number of SBCs will be available during TOTY promotion. For example, FUT 25 featured various upgraded SBCs, such as 83+ x5 Attackers Upgrades, 81+ x2 Upgrades, and 84+ x5 Upgrades.

82+ x20 Upgrade Repeatable SBC

The most sensational content in FC 25 is undoubtedly 82+ x20 Upgrade Repeatable SBC. This SBC requires one 83-rated lineup and one 84-rated lineup, and upon completion, it grants a pack containing 20 82+ OVR players, with absolutely no limit on the number of times it can be used.

This SBC completely revolutionized the game's ecosystem, allowing players to continuously use materials obtained from packs to complete new SBCs and acquire a large number of Team of the Year cards.

By spending several hours working on this SBC, you could eventually obtain a massive number of card packs, with many players using it to acquire several TOTY cards. The high-rated players it produced also made completing other large SBCs much easier.

While this SBC gave ordinary players the opportunity to obtain top-tier cards, it undoubtedly harmed the game's long-term vitality. The promotional cards released couldn't compete with Team of the Year cards, leading to a decline in game popularity.

Given the developers' current urgent need to increase player engagement, they are highly likely to release this SBC again this year. It's expected to launch with the full roster release, allowing players to invest time in it again.

Premier League Upgrades SBCs

You should also keep your eyes on Premier League Upgrades. Previously, these packs only included male football league players. However, the game has now added female football players, doubling the card pool. While the number of TOTY players has increased, the number of regular gold cards has increased even more, diluting the actual probability of drawing a TOTY card.

If the developers intend to adjust Premier League Upgrades Packs, they should either release the men's and women's league upgrade packs separately, or significantly increase the number of rare cards in the mixed league packs to improve the odds of winning. Otherwise, opening this pack will be a significant waste of FC 26 coins.

TOTY Evolution

The next thing to look forward to is TOTY Blueprint Evolution. EA FC 25's TOTY Blueprint Evolution had extremely high attribute caps and could add multiple Playstyle+ cards. This was a very popular system that allowed players to personalize and enhance their club's players. Considering that Evolution system is a major pillar of FC 26, this evolution is very likely to return.

This year's TOTY packs should be very exciting, and many players believe they should wait until the full rosters are released before opening packs, as the card pool will be the most complete. However, during the full event, the actual drop rate of packs may actually decrease, so it is recommended to spread out your pack openings throughout the event.

EA FC 26 released an evolution for LM, Plenty of Time Left. This evolution isn't free, but it's incredibly powerful. You can use it to create a monster-like player.

The best player for this evolution is obviously Claudia Pina, and it's practically tailor-made for her. However, not all players like Pina, so besides her, we'll also introduce some other players here.

Plenty of Time Left Guide

Requirements

• Overall: Max 86
• Physical: Max 83
• PlayStyle: Max 10
• PlayStyle+: Max 1
• Not Rarity: World Tour Silver Stars
• Position: LM
• Not Position: CB, LB

Total Upgrade

• Overall: +10 | Max 88
• Pace: +20 | Max 89
• Shooting: +15 | Max 80
• Agility: +25 | Max 88
• Balance: +25 | Max 87
• Ball control: +20 | Max 88
• Curve: +15 | Max 86
• Dribbling: +25 | Max 90
• Reactions: +20 | Max 85
• Short Passing: +15 | Max 84
• Stamina: +20 | Max 86
• Strength: +20 | Max 80
• Vision: +15 | Max 85
• Composure: +20 | Max 85
• Skills: +1 | Max 4
• PlayStyles+: Technical | Max 1
• PlayStyles: Technical, First Touch, Rapid, Quick Step | Max 7
• Roles: Winger++, Inside Forward++

This evolution requires 40,000 FC 26 coins or 400 Points to unlock. Besides giving the player a Technical+ stat boost, this evolution also provides significant attribute improvements.

Compared to the improvements it offers, the 40,000 coins are definitely worth it. Even though many players don't like this evolution, many will still choose to pursue it.

Recommended Players

86 OVR Claudia Pina LW++

• Pac: 79
• Sho: 86
• Pas: 83
• Dri: 87
• Def: 45
• Phy: 71

The protagonist of this evolution is clearly Claudia Pina. Her gold card has always been strong, and even without evolving her, she perfectly fulfills her role. This is because she possesses four key playstyles: Low Driven+, Finesse Shot, Tiki Taka, and Incisive Pass. Furthermore, she has a 5-star Weak Foot that synergizes with Finesse Shot, making this card a monster since its release.

Clearly, this Claudia Pina upgrade significantly improves her drag and pace. Therefore, regardless of player opinions, many will craft this card, even though it will prevent her from evolving again for several weeks. Faced with such a top-tier card, many will undoubtedly choose it.

86 OVR Nico Williams LW++

• Pac: 93
• Sho: 76
• Pas: 80
• Dri: 87
• Def: 36
• Phy: 66

Nico Williams, with Rapid+ and Inside Forward Plus++, is a top-tier left-back. For a card like this, if you're not chasing player cards whose market value is declining, he's the best alternative because he still possesses the basic Finesse Shot playstyle. His base attributes aren't bad either, and his pace is already good, and with Quick Step and Rapid+ playstyles, his movement speed will only increase.

After evolution, I recommend choosing First Touch. When your game feels clunky, First Touch allows you to immediately follow up with a Finesse Shot after receiving the ball, a very satisfying playstyle.

You can also give him a Finisher Chemistry Style to improve dribbling and shooting. Combined with his good speed, this makes his attack very threatening.

86 OVR Jérémy Doku LW++

• Pac: 96
• Sho: 80
• Pas: 80
• Dri: 92
• Def: 40
• Phy: 80

Jérémy Doku's Pace attribute is excellent, so this card's build strategy is different. You can give him a Marksman chemistry because of his initial speed, improving his dribbling while also providing a decent shooting bonus.

However, Plenty of time Left evolution doesn't significantly improve him, and it's not a game-changer. He's a good option, but his priority should be lower than other players.

86 OVR João Félix Sequeira Ultimate Scream

• Pac: 85
• Sho: 86
• Pas: 85
• Dri: 89
• Def: 52
• Phy: 76

João Félix has First Touch+, but if he could get Technical+, his effect might be even better. His pace and physique have both improved significantly, while his dribbling has improved very little.

If you give him a Hunter chemistry style, his pace attribute will be even better. His five-star skill and four-star Weak Foot are also quite good. Although First Touch+ isn't the best, he's still usable in the game. You need to choose Quick Step and Rapid for him, and it will be faster.

85 OVR Heung Min Son LW++

• Pac: 84
• Sho: 84
• Pas: 81
• Dri: 83
• Def: 42
• Phy: 73

This card requires great care, as his dribbling attribute might be a bit low for his height and build at this stage of the game. Heung Min Son has one of the best playstyles, Finesse Shot+, which makes him perform very well, and he also has Weak Foot, allowing him to shoot with both feet, making his offense very strong.

General Advice

In short, for this evolution, you need to focus on cards that already possess certain meta-key conditions. When playing as a winger, many attacking rounds revolve around creating angles for your shots. Therefore, Finesse Shot ability should obviously be a primary consideration.

While Plenty of time Left evolution is essentially exclusive to Claudia Pina, you can sometimes find hidden gems. For example, João Félix, mentioned earlier, becomes significantly stronger in the game with this evolution.

The best candidate for this evolution is Claudia Pina, and her performance after evolving is absolutely insane. If you want the strongest Pina, it's recommended to first add Advanced Forward++ to her with Frosty Dribbler EVO, and then use this plan to obtain a beastly striker.

With Christmas approaching, various ongoing games have launched Christmas events to celebrate the holiday. EA FC 26 has also launched Winter Wildcards promotion to attract players back to the game.

However, in addition to this promotion, the official team has given some players an unexpected "gift": account bans. Being treated this way before New Year is extremely frustrating, but until the official team provides a solution, we can only look at what kind of behavior leads to an unexpected ban.

What Happened?

During Winter Wildcards promotion, many players reported that their accounts were banned for violating coins trading rules. Banned players will face the inability to use the transfer market or have their FC 26 coins wiped out.

• Transfer Market Ban: Banned from using the player transfer market.
• Account Ban: Completely banned from online gaming.
• Coin Wipe: All in-game currency is deducted.

Due to the widespread impact, the official team subsequently unbanned most players, acknowledging a system error. However, no apology, accountability, or promise to fix the system was made.

Some player, fearing their coins would be wiped after a ban, used all 2 million coins on Store Packs. Therefore, upon unbanning, his coins would never come back.

What Behaviors Will Result In A Ban?

This ban is related to Winter Wildcards promotion. If players trade these specific cards on the market, even if they obtained them from packs or traded them, it could lead to account bans, bans from the transfer market, or the wiping of their coins.

Besides the above, some normal trading activities may also be considered grounds for a ban. For example, if you sell player cards whose value has increased due to a surge in evolution demand or supply shortages, the system will deem the player's value abnormal and ban you.

Additionally, if you invest in 100 of the same player cards and then sell them in bulk due to a price increase in SBCs. At this point, buyers attempting to snipe these cards for resale profit may have their accounts flagged as transferring coins by the system if they repeatedly transact with you.

This allows coin sellers who genuinely understand the system's vulnerabilities to safely transfer large amounts of coins without detection using specific methods. Meanwhile, legitimate players engaging in normal market activity are easily banned.

How To Avoid Being Banned?

Since the official stance has not promised to fix the banning system for this particular error, you still face the risk of your account being banned. Therefore, absolutely do not sell any Winter Wild player cards at this time to avoid triggering incorrect bans.

Why Does This Happen?

This is clearly not due to collective cheating by players, but rather a flaw in FUT 26's cheat detection system. This faulty system has plagued players for at least five years, yet the official fixes have never been made.

As veteran players of this series know, its cheat banning system is entirely automated and powered by artificial intelligence. Its algorithm cannot accurately distinguish between legitimate market speculation and illegal coin transfers, leading to frequent instances of incorrect bans.

How To Get Unbanned?

For players who are still banned, the only solution at present is to appeal to the official channels. You don't need to argue with customer service, as their responses are automated.

What you need to do is follow the appeal process, request a manual review by the official channels, and then disclose the reasons for your ban, asking them to show transaction records or data. This is your legal right, and the official channels need to review your request.

However, even if you follow the above steps to appeal, the chances of being unbanned are still slim. Unless you are a member of EA Creator Network or have connections with the official channels, it is virtually impossible for ordinary players to successfully unban their accounts through official appeals. Only in cases like this large-scale wrongful ban that has sparked widespread player outrage will the official channels collectively unban accounts.

Criticism From Player Community

The official channels should improve their Terms of Service team, hire more qualified staff to review banned accounts, and build a review team that truly understands game transactions to distinguish between illegal gold transfers and legitimate transactions.

Currently, there are no actual employees handling this; it's all relying on flawed AI. Until the system is fixed, the only thing players can do is understand how the automated system works and avoid triggering its transactions.

Until the official team can completely resolve this issue, Using FC 26 Points will become extremely risky. Even consumption through official channels can result in a ban for a normal market transaction, with virtually no chance of a successful appeal.

However, the official team is fully aware of the system's problems, but either they lack the means to build an updated system or they simply don't care because it hasn't affected their profits yet. Therefore, it's expected that they won't fix this banning system.

Even after Winter Wildcards promotion, players need to be cautious when trading in the transfer market, as this flawed banning system will remain in effect.

MLB 25 was a pretty good game, with upgrades in graphics and player simulation, and you could even simulate or recreate recent games. As 2025 draws to a close, preparations for MLB The Show 26 have already begun

MLB The Show 26 builds upon this title with further improvements, including changes to graphics, gameplay, and Franchise Mode. Since MLB 26 won't be released until next year, we can only speculate on whether these changes will be even better based on the official announcements.

Gameplay

Defense And Animation Enhancements

The development team has been striving to make the game more realistic, allowing players to simulate any situation that occurs in the game as closely as possible. Therefore, they have added more animations, and below are some of the animations they have released.

New Catches On The Run Animation

The new animations allow outfielders to cover bases and throw in a more realistic and efficient manner.

New Cut Off Throws Animations

New animations allow corner infielders (first and third basemen) to handle the ball more naturally and prevent runners from advancing extra bases.

Knee Down Catchers Animations

A complete new animation set has been added for kneeling catchers to support smarter, more realistic movements. This is a defensive approach different from the traditional crouching catcher.

In addition to the new animations, player attributes will also be adjusted. In MLB The Show 25, Pop Time existed as Quirk. Now it will be a rating scale of 1-99, giving each catcher a different level of this ability to assess their speed in throwing to second base to stop runners.

Reaction attributes will also be further subdivided in MLB 26, divided into four directions: forward, backward, left, and right. This more realistically simulates the differences in outfielders' reaction abilities to balls coming from different directions, as some players are better at rushing to catch the ball, while others are better at retreating to catch it.

New Features For Ball Strike System

In addition to the above, the official announcement also mentioned several new features in the new game. However, they didn't provide specific details, only stating that the details would be revealed gradually before release.

• Bear Down
• Big Zone Hitting
• PCI Sensitivity
• Fixed Zone
• Free Anchor

PCI Sensitivity is a long-requested feature from players. It primarily adjusts the movement sensitivity of the plate cover indicator (PCI), similar to adjusting aiming sensitivity in a shooting game. High sensitivity allows for faster movement of the crosshair but makes it harder to control accuracy, while low sensitivity has the opposite effect.

Anchor Mirror feature ensures that your ball's anchor point remains at the last set position. This feature may have been partially implemented in MLB The Show 25.

ABS And PitchCom Systems

Automatic Ball Strike Challenge System (ABS) is a system being tested in minor leagues and introduced into the game. It's essentially a robotic referee that can automatically judge the quality of the ball.

This feature will likely be primarily used in single-player modes, such as Franchise mode. Allowing players to challenge calls as batters, pitchers, or catchers will increase the depth and realism of the game, but it could also make simulated umpire errors more frustrating.

PitchCom system, already present in MLB 25 (where catchers indicated pitching positions on lower difficulties), will be further enhanced in the new game.

Franchise Mode

MLB The Show 25 saw improvements in Franchise Mode last year, but it was far from perfect and still needed refinement. The new game features numerous adjustments to this mode. Currently announced changes primarily focus on improving trade content and streamlining Franchise Mode, though these are relatively minor.

MLB 26 will also improve the lineup and rotation logic. The CPU's lineup decisions will be more in line with modern baseball principles. The new logic will consider players' on-base percentage and recent performance, rather than assigning unsuitable players as leadoff hitters.

Road To The Show

While Road to the Show mode received significant improvements in MLB 25, it still failed to satisfy players, and the limited MLB The Show 25 stubs it rewards are hardly appealing.

The new version of MLB 25 adds 11 playable universities to the amateur year introduced last year, including University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and Oregon State University Beavers. It will also be announced that players will have more to do later in their careers.

Based on the currently released information, the changes to Road to the Show haven't satisfied players. Simply adding a few more schools to the existing very short college season without extending the season is merely a superficial change lacking substantial content. Adding more schools is less effective than deeply developing each of the 20 schools, motivating players to experience the unique characteristics of each.

The promise of more to do later in their careers likely just refers to the addition of a formal retirement process, which also fails to provide long-term motivation for play.

What Improvements Are Needed?

While MLB The Show 25 has received much praise from players, there are still some issues that need to be addressed in the new game, namely network connectivity.

Due to latency and instability in online connections, the actual hitting feel is distorted, making the online game feel one level harder than advertised. While the offline gameplay is very smooth and excellent, it's a completely different experience compared to playing against real people, so this is something that urgently needs to be addressed.

Although there's some cool content, the amount of information about the new game isn't huge. In particular, details about updates to the management and career modes are limited, but we should see more in-depth information about the game modes closer to release.

A new week means you're back to grinding for new FC 26 events - and let's be honest, isn't that what gaming is all about? After the initial novelty wears off, it's all about the daily grind to constantly improve your character or account.

Speaking of improvement, the best way to enhance existing players in FIFA 26 is through evolution events, which provide various upgrades to eligible players. Some Evolutions are free, while others require you to consume FC 26 coins.

Which Players Are Suitable For This Evolution?

Provided the evolution requirements are met, we recommend prioritizing a midfielder who can play center-back, such as James Ward-Prowse, and maximizing his pace. However, his drawback is that he won't receive significant improvements in other areas.

Based on this, Logan Costa would be a better choice if you have him, as he can play right-back, and he can gain all defensive PlayStyles except Slide Tackle and Aerial Fortress.

More importantly, he's a fairly versatile player, capable of playing center-back, right-midfield, right-back, and right-winger, and you can also upgrade his weak foot and skill moves to make him even stronger.

The third player we recommend is Doué. His card stats are already excellent, including five defensive PlayStyles, and he can also play multiple positions. Upgrading him with this evolution to gain four-star skill moves and four-star weak foot would be even better.

If needed, evolving some slower defenders is also a good option, such as Tchouaméni. If they originally had a three-star weak foot and three-star skill moves, they will become four-star after the upgrade.

Therefore, if you have this upgrade option, be sure to upgrade first before choosing these player cards, as it will be very helpful.

As for Vivian, this popular player already performs very well in the game, with great defensive PlayStyles. The only shortcomings are his ball control and lower weak foot and skill move ratings.

However, considering his decent base attributes and OVR, evolving him is also a viable option.

That's all the information we can provide about Keep Good Kompany Evolution. You can also choose to evolve more players based on the actual situation of your team, if you have the time. Have fun!
