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!
