  • Primary Subject: FC 26 - Prince from Arenys Evolution
  • Key Update: A specialized CM Evolution that provides big passing, dribbling, and vision upgrades.
  • Status: Live (start by February 18)
  • Last Verified: February 9, 2026
  • Quick Answer: If you have Ella Toone SBC or Santi Cazorla's Unbreakables cards, this is a must-do. Upgrades for most other appear underwhelming and not worth stressing over.

A much lighter frame than the legend he followed at Arsenal, Cesc Fàbregas made his presence felt in midfield more as an orchestrator than as an outright bully.

The Prince from Arenys Evolution in FC 26 is a nod to the Spaniard's brilliant midfield mind, with stats and PlayStyles that reflect his strengths. 

The Evolution provides a decent boost to stats and several good PlayStyles. Continue reading to know the best choices for The Prince from Arenys Evolution

Best Players for The Prince from Arenys Evolution in FC 26

The five most standout FC 26 players for The Prince from Arenys Evolution are:

  • Ella Toone (Winter Wildcards SBC)
  • Santiago Cazorla (Unbreakables)
  • Zé Roberto (Heroes)
  • Raphaël Guerreiro (Winter Wildcards)
  • Yaya Touré (Heroes)

Given the stat restriction, there won't be a wider pool of eligible players. You'll then have to get creative and search among relatively unpopular and not meta-dominating names. 

Ella Toone is the biggest standout pick for the Evolution and perhaps the only card you can use the upgrade on without having second thoughts. The English international has the right stats and PlayStyles to be a proper attacking midfielder. 

A 95 dribbling with PlayStyles like Finesse Shot, Technical, Tiki Taka+ at just 88 overall means there is insane chain potential with Toone. Not to forget a 5-star in both WF and SM with base Trickster. 

Santi Cazorla is of a similar profile as Toone but a touch below in terms of end stats and PlayStyles. Future quick chains remain on the card, so you can add all that's missing in Cazorla's card, like some shooting PS. He does have more defensive numbers, so he is a better pick if you're looking for a more box-to-box player. 

Our other three picks are also good, though not as tempting as the top two.
