Available as part of the Fantasy FC League Objective Group, Instant Impact allows EA FC 26 players to give Rapid, Finesse Shot+, as well as a welcome +4 SHO and +3 PAC upgrade to any under 87-OVR player, no matter their position.

But as getting the evo requires stacking up 18 wins against what I can only call meta-filled evo teams, it would be a nightmare to waste it. Here are the best non-chain players for the Instant Impact evolution in EA FC 26, and an overview of all the other rewards you can get from the Fantasy FC League.

The Best Players For Instant Impact Evolution In EA FC 26

As many can guess, given vis 5/5 WF/SM and Low Driven Shot+ PlayStyle, Winter Wildcards Johan Cruyff is by far the best choice for the Instant Impact evolution in EA FC 26. He is then followed by Winter Wildcards Rafael Leão, Time Warp Pedro, Flashback Miedema, Flashback Gyökeres, and Winter Wildcards Thierry Henry. Just keep in mind that Henry will still not have a single passing PlayStyle in his arsenal at the need of the day.

If you don’t have the above, though, Cornerstones Claudia Pina is also a perfect match for the evolution. After all, who can say no to a card pairing Pina’s unique strengths with the Finesse Shot+ and Low Driven Shot+ combo? Even if still lacking in PAC, TOTW Messi can also be a fun fit. To recap, here are the best players for the Instant Impact evolution in EA FC 26:

• Winter Wildcards Johan Cruyff (87 OVR / CAM)
• Winter Wildcards Rafael Leão (87 OVR / LW)
• Time Warp Pedro (87 OVR / LW)
• Flashback Viktor Gyökeres (87 OVR / ST)
• Flashback Vivianne Miedema (87 OVR / ST)
• Winter Wildcards Thierry Henry (86 OVR / ST)
• TOTW Lionel Messi (87 OVR / ST)
• Gold Rare Claudia Pina (86 OVR / LW)

Now that you know who the best players for the new evolution are, make sure to also take a look at How To Quickly Get All Icon Swaps Tokens In EA FC 26. Trust me, you don’t want to be known for missing out on a free 94-OVR R9.

Available until March 10th, the second batch of Icon Swaps Tokens just arrived on EA FC 26, thus allowing players to finally claim the talked-about and meta-defining 94-rated Icon Swaps R9.

But just like with the previous selection, is getting all 10 tokens a Herculean effort? Or is it possible to speed things up? Here’s how to get all of the new Icon Swaps Tokens as quickly as possible in EA FC 26.

All New EA FC 26 Icon Swaps Tokens & How To Get Them

Like with the previous batch, all 10 new EA FC 26 Icon Swaps Tokens can be acquired by completing seasonal objectives, with four being rewarded via the Icon Swaps: Italy, France, Spain, and England groups. Unlike the above, though, the remaining six tokens won’t demand taking part in a Live Event. Instead, they can only be acquired by getting wins on Squad Battles and Champions. Here’s an in-depth overview of how to get all new tokens:

• Icon Swaps Token Martin Palumbo: By winning 10 Champions matches
• Icon Swaps Token Roggerio Nyakossi: By winning six Squad Battles matches (min World Class) with 11 Silver players in your starting lineup.
• Icon Swaps Token Féerine Belhadj: By winning six Squad Battles matches (min World Class) with at least 11 Roshn Saudi League players in your starting lineup.
• Icon Swaps Token Isaías Delpupo: By winning three Squad Battles matches (min Professional) with 11 Barclays WSL players in your starting lineup.
• Icon Swaps Token Harvey Blair: By winning three Squad Battles matches (min Professional) with 11 Liga F players in your starting lineup.
• Icon Swaps Token Julie Swierot: By winning three Squad Battles matches (min Semi Pro) with 11 First Owned players in your starting lineup.
• Icon Swaps Token Leonardo Mendicino (Icon Swaps: Italy): By taking part in the Icon Swaps One Nation Live Event with a starting 11 featuring at least eight first-owned Italian players. You must then win six matches, score with a header in three, and assist with a through ball in seven.
• Icon Swaps Token Florianne Jourde (Icon Swaps: France): By taking part in the Icon Swaps One Nation Live Event with a starting lineup featuring at least eight first-owned French players and winning six matches, scoring with low driven shots in seven, and assisting with through balls in five.
• Icon Swaps Token Bakary Haidara (Icon Swaps: England): By taking part in the Icon Swaps One Nation Live Event with a starting 11 featuring at least eight first-owned English players and winning six matches, scoring in eight, and assisting with a defender in five.
• Icon Swaps Token Othmane Maamma (Icon Swaps: Spain): By taking part in the Icon Swaps One Nation Live Event with a starting 11 featuring at least eight first-owned Spanish players and winning six matches, scoring chip shot goals in five, and assisting with crosses in six.

The Fastest Way To Get All New EA FC 26 Icon Swaps Tokens

Although there’s no way to get multiple One Nation tokens at once, you can easily get two of the others in one go by winning 11 World Class matches with a fully Silver Roshn Saudi League squad. Upon doing that, you can repeat the feat by using a first-owned Barclays WSL or Liga F lineup and stacking another three dubs.

To speed up the process when going for the mentioned Live Event tokens, we recommend helping your fellow players by giving away goals. It does not cost a thing to be kind, and letting your opponent advance in a couple of objectives can make them reciprocate before you both go for the win. Remember, there’s no real difference between starting the match at 0:0 and 1:1, but lending a hand can take you a long way.

Setting aside stat boosts for a handy Low Driven Shot+ and 5-star WF upgrade, Fantasy FC Path might actually be one of the trickiest evolutions to rate in EA FC 26. After all, is a second PS+ really enough to justify its premium price?

Well, it turns out it might, even if getting it there will demand very specific picks. Here’s who are the best players for the Fantasy FC Path evolution in EA FC 26, as well as a full breakdown of everything it brings to the table.

EA FC 26 Fantasy FC Path Evolution Requirements And Upgrades

Available for 50K Coins / 400 FC Points, Fantasy FC Path can only be used on under 87-OVR strikers, with a maximum of 10 PlayStyles and one PS+. Your chosen player must also not be an LM/RM, nor a World Tour Silver Icon. You can check out all of the upgrades your chosen card can get, including an ++ upgrade to all ST roles and a few handy regular PlayStyles, below.

• Level 1: +1 OVR (max 88), +1 PAS (max 87), +1 DRI (max 88), +1 PHY (max 85), +1 Acceleration (max 92), and +1 Sprint Speed (max 92)
• Level 2: +1 OVR (max 88), +70 Shot Power (max 99). Advanced Forward++ (ST), Poacher++ (ST), False 9++ (ST), and Target Forward++ (ST)
• Level 3: +3 SM (max -star) and +4 WF (max 5-star). Low Driven Shot+
• Level 4: Low Driven Shot, First Touch, Finesse Shot, and Power Shot PlayStyles

Best Players For The Fantasy FC Chain Evolution In EA FC 26

Although the evolution’s PlayStyle focus might make it a better fit for those looking to build meta slayers with long chains, its upgrades can also allow many already high-rated picks to shine. The best examples of that can be seen in Base Icon Fernando Torres and Gianfranco Zola, who can use it to get both a welcome PAC increase and the meta 5-star WF/Finesse Shot+ and Low Driven Shot+ combo.

TOTW Endrick and Thunderstruck Dumornay can also be worthy picks for it, as their Rapid+ only makes Low Driven Shot + more lethal. It’s also worth pointing out that we don’t recommend using promo icons here, in special Winter Wildcards Baby Henry and Cruyff. Why? Apart from not getting a second PS+ from it, the evo also locks them away for the foreseeable future. To recap, here are the best players for Fantasy FC Chain in EA FC 26, as well as a few alternatives sure to excel.

• Base Icon Fernando Torres (87 OVR / ST)
• Base Icon Gianfranco Zola (87 OVR / CAM)
• Flashback Viktor Gyökeres (87 OVR / ST)
• Ayoze Peréz (87 OVR / ST)
• Thunderstruck Melchie Dumornay (87 OVR / ST)
• TOTW Rasmus Højlund (87 OVR / ST)
• TOTW Eberechi Eze (87 OVR / CAM)
• TOTW Endrick (86 OVR / ST)

Set to take players to a whole new festival, now located amidst the sakura petals and breathtaking sceneries of Japan, Forza Horizon 6 will be arriving on both Xbox and PC on May 19.

But what about us PS5 players? Where will we be able to take the road and see what the next installment has in store? Here’s everything we know about Forza Horizon 6‘s PS5 release, as well as a look at the exact time all versions of the game are expected to become availalbe.

When Is Forza Horizon 6 Being Released PS5?

Unfortunately, no news regarding the exact release date of Forza Horizon 6 on PS5 have ben revealed, although the version has already been confirmed to be arriving in 2026. True to that, it’s not out of the realm of possibilities to assume that the release is subject to a 6-month exclusivity to both PC and Xbox, and thus will only be arriving on Sony’s console around November to December 2026. In my opinion, however, I believe we will only have to wait a couple of months.

Forza Horizon 6 Release Times And How To Unlock Early Access

Even if no official confirmation has been given, it’s safe to assume that, like all Forza Horizon 5 versions, Forza Horizon 6 will become available on May 19, 12 AM local time on all of its starting platforms (Xbox Series X/S and PC). Keep in mind that it was already revealed that those who purchase the game’s Premium Edition ($119.99) will have access to the title four days earlier (on May 15). Apart from the early access, the Premium Edition also offers the following:

• The Ferrari J50 Pre-Order Bonus
• VIP Membership (includes 3x Exclusive Forza Edition Cars, Crown Flair, Emote, Carn Horn, a free Tokyo city Player House, 2x CR Rewards, and weekly Super Wheelpins)
• Welcome Pack (includes 5x Pre-Tuned Cars, 1x Autoshow Car Voucher, a free player house, and 3x tickets for common/rare clothing items)
• A Car Pass featuring 30 extra cars
• The Italian Passion Car Pack, including four extra cars
• The Time Attack Car Pack, including eight extra cars
• Access to both upcoming expansions upon their respective releases

If you have already purchased the game’s standard or Deluxe editions on Xbox, you can still get access to all Premium Perks by purchasing the Premium Add-Ons Bundle for $59,99. The same applies to those who have a Game Pass Ultimate subscription. Just keep in mind that, if the subscription runs out, you will still need to buy the base game to play it.
