The five most standout picks for FUTTIES Countdown Evolution are:

  • Dodi Lukébakio (Path to Glory)
  • Djibril Sow (Path to Glory)
  • Axel Witsel (National Pride)
  • Leon Goretzka (Glory Hunters)
  • Theo Hernández (TOTS HM)

You can either use this upgrade on low-rated players to keep chain options during FUTTIES open. Though, this late into the game, you wouldn't be too excited to start a new chain.

Unless you have an existing chain ready, easier choices for the Evolution are high-rated cards. Because of the upcoming increase in the power curve, it is best to use players with attributes in the high-to-mid-90s.

While the added stat boost will benefit all players, you can maximize it on midfielders and fullbacks.

An attacker does not need a defending boost. Likewise, a traditional out-and-out defender like a CB wouldn't need shooting numbers. But midfielders and fullbacks need them both or can make better use of them.

Players who have the base FUTTIES rarity will have customizable PS, and the Evolution should be no different, since it changes the rarity. We may even see the PS+ cap increase to 5 for these cards.

Is FUTTIES Countdown Evolution Worth Doing?

Yes, we do think FUTTIES Countdown Evolution is worth doing in FC 26.

If you're using low-rated cards, you get the ability to chain further and add PlayStyles of your choosing.

Good high-rated cards should also end up with amazing numbers that'll keep them relevant even during FUTTIES.
