FC 26 Fantasy FC Upgrades tracker

Fantasy FC promo image in FC 26

The Fantasy FC promo is now live in FC 26, and it has introduced several live cards to Ultimate Team.

All cards released as part of the promo will be eligible for upgrades in the near future. The upgrades will depend on how the players perform in real life. Moreover, the performances of their respective clubs will also be considered.

This guide will help you keep track of all incoming upgrades as they roll out.

It's important to understand how the upgrades will be applied. The system is slightly different for Heroes (more on that later).

  • Club gets six points in the next four matches: +1 overall rating and all Role++ in every position
  • Club scores 10 goals in the next four matches: One face stat randomly upgrades to 99
  • Player scores (for attackers and midfielders) or keeps a clean sheet (for goalkeepers and defenders) in the next four matches: +1PS+ (if 2 PS+, then only PS) and +1 PS
  • Player gets six attacking contributions (attacker/midfielder) or 12 defensive contributions in the next four matches (defender/goalkeeper): Five-star weak foot or Five-star skill moves

EA FC 26 Fantasy FC Path Evolution: Best Players And All Upgrades

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)

Since no team can survive without an elite guardian between the sticks, we also highly recommend that you check out The Best Ultimate Team Goalkeepers, Ranked.

  • Find the expedition terminal right beside the main entrance.
  • You can first check the tasks and the main rewards of the Relics expedition.
  • Once ready, you can begin the expedition.

Best players for FC 26 Airborne Evolution

Theo Hernandez base card in FC 26

The Airborne Evolution is now live in FC 26, allowing you to upgrade a card of your choice.

The Airborne Evolution is available for free, and you can use it twice. The upgrades might seem dull, but you can create amazing chains by choosing the correct card. This guide will provide you with a list of the best possible options, based on the requirements and the offered upgrades.

FC 26 Airborne Evolution requirements

Here are the requirements for the Airborne Evolution in FC 26.

  • Overall: Max 84
  • PlayStyle: Max 10
  • Not Position: GK

FC 26 Airborne Evolution upgrades

The Airborne Evolution has only one level of upgrades. To obtain the boosts, you’ll need to complete specific tasks.

Level 1 upgrades

  • Overall: +1
  • Aggression: +10|87
  • Heading Acc.: +20|88
  • Jumping: +20|90
  • Strength: +10|87
  • PlayStyles: Precision Header, Aerial Fortress|6

Level 1 upgrade requirements

  • Play 3 matches in Squad Battles on min. Semi-Pro difficulty (or Rush/Rivals/Champions/Live Events) using your active EVO Player in game.

Best players for Airborne Evolution in FC 26

You can include a wide variety of items in this evolution. I have considered cards that will benefit the most from the offered upgrades.

  • Danny da Costa Ultimate Scream
  • Theo Hernandez
  • Jodi Alba TOTW
  • Matheus Silva Primetime
  • Micky van de Ven TOTW
  • Kenneth Taylor Primetime
  • Hume Captains
  • Doue Ultimate Scream
  • Svensson Ultimate Scream

These are arguably some of the best options you can include in this evolution. They don't need to be combined in any of the older evolutions. Since the overall only increases by one, these evolved cards should be eligible for a new evolution in the near future. You'll be able to create cards with stats far better than what the promos directly offer in packs.

All FC 26 Joga Bonito players (leaks) and release countdown

Joga Bonito promo image in FC 26

Joga Bonito promo is coming to FC 26 after confirmation from EA Sports, and we should be able to enjoy the new set of cards pretty soon.

Unlike the ongoing Thunderstruck campaign, Joga Bonito is a fresh addition. So far, EA Sports has only teased the promo, but a few leaks have already surfaced. The upcoming promo could be a fantastic addition for those who are looking for something fresh in Ultimate Team.

FC 26 Joga Bonito players (leaks)

With a name like Joga Bonito, the promo will be heavily influenced by "The Beautiful Game" adage. The promo is unlikely to stick exclusively to Brazilian cards. Instead, expect to find footballers who were renowned for their skill and flair on the pitch.

Here's a list of all the players that have either been leaked on social media or teased by EA Sports.

  • Endrick
  • Aimar
  • Ricardo Quaresma
  • Michael Olise
  • Kenan Yildiz
  • Aitana Bonmati
  • Frenkie de Jong
  • Cole Palmer
  • Vitinha
  • David Ginola
  • Matheus Cunha
  • Geovany Quenda

  • Gervinho
  • Joao Cancelo
  • Joe Cole
  • Rui Costa
  • Chloe Kelly
  • Kvicha Kvaratskhelia
  • Necib
  • Maicon
  • Jay-Jay Okocha

The Joga Bonito promo will have two types of special cards - active footballers and Heroes. I am sure that we will have more leaks closer to the release date. Some of the new cards will be available via objectives and SBCs, and you can obtain them without having to rely on your luck.

FC 26 Joga Bonito release countdown

The Joga Bonito promo will directly replace the ongoing Thunderstruck promo, and it will go live on Friday, Dec. 5. With Joga Bonito, EA Sports will be going back to the usual release timings of 12pm CT. The following countdown will expire once the promo goes live.

[hurrytimer id="1149743"]

The countdown is based on the following timings.

  • 10am PT
  • 12pm CT
  • 1pm ET
  • 6pm GMT
  • 7pm CET

Expect to find new objectives and SBCs on launch night, which will allow you to get more promo cards outside of packs.

FC 26 Season 3 release countdown and season pass rewards

Musiala and Bellingham on the covers of FC 26

Season 3 is coming soon to FC 26 Ultimate Team, offering us a fresh track of rewards to grind for.

With Season 2 about to end, Season 3 should continue along a similar theme. Much of it will revolve around what we can obtain from the milestone rewards. But to do so, we will have to wait until the season goes live.

FC 26 Season 3 release countdown: Exact date and time

Season 3 will start immediately upon the prior season's conclusion. It will go live globally on Thursday, Nov. 27, across all platforms. The following countdown will expire as the season goes live.

[hurrytimer id="1146215"]

The countdown is based on the following times.

  • 12am PT
  • 2am CT
  • 3am ET
  • 8am UTC
  • 9am CET

Once the new season goes live, you'll need to restart FC 26 on your PC/console. Log in to Ultimate Team, and you'll be able to see the fresh objectives, rewards, and more.

FC 26 Season 3 Pass rewards

As of writing, we have yet to find information about the exact rewards. However, we can anticipate based on the previous two seasons. All rewards should be available in the Season Pass, which will come in two versions. You can enjoy the free version available to all, or spend your coins/FC points to get the premium version (which offers more rewards).

It will be interesting to see which cards and rewards we get with the season pass. With the Thunderstruck promo coming soon, the new pass could feature cards from that campaign. There's always a chance a few leaks will pop up before the season goes live.

To earn rewards, we will need to get SP by completing objectives released throughout the new season. We will add all the pass rewards to this guide once we have the confirmed information on Nov. 27.

FC 26 Pro Open Mystery Nation revealed (Matchday 1)

An image of EA FC 25 Pro Open Mystery Nation

Matchday 1 of FC Pro Open in FC 26 has introduced this year's first Mystery Nation objective, and you can complete the task to win bonus rewards.

If you've completed Mystery Nation objectives over the last few years, you'll know what to expect. This guide will help clear all your confusion and help you keep track of the correct nation once it's revealed.

Disclaimer: Mystery nation has been solved ahead of the official reveal, and it is Scotland.

How to complete Pro Open Mystery Nation (Matchday 1) objective in FC 26

Here's the official description of the Mystery Nation Matchday 1 objective.

Score three goals using a Finesse Shot with a player from the mystery nation in any Ultimate Team game mode. The name of the nation will be hinted at during the broadcast of FC Pro Open Matchday 1."

To complete the task, you'll first have to crack the mystery nation. The nation will eventually be revealed on the livestream, but the community has already cracked it. The next task is to use any card belonging to that nation and score three goals with a Finesse Shot. You can complete the objective in any Ultimate Team mode and across several matches.

Once done, you'll get the following rewards.

  • Coin Boost
  • One untradeable Prime Electrum Players Pack

It's a pretty decent set of rewards to get for little effort. The main trick was to crack the hidden nation. As this is the first Mystery Nation objective in FC 26 Ultimate Team, it could have been any nation. The country is likely to be officially revealed during the Matchday 1 stream, but we have already updated it on our guide. You can catch all the action on YouTube and Twitch, and there are some fantastic fixtures to kick off FC Pro Open this year.
