The best EA Sports FC 26 players for ‘The Perfect 10’ evolution

‘The Perfect 10’ evolution card is available in the token store in EA Sports FC 26’s Ultimate Team mode, and we’ll let you know some of the best players to use and how it will improve them.

As the title of this evolution clearly states, it will make an eligible player into the perfect number 10, vastly improving your Ultimate Team squad, perhaps giving you an edge against other players online as well as the CPU challenges in EA Sports FC 26.

Once a player is fully evolved with ‘The Perfect 10’, they should not look out of place in the next promotion for EA Sports FC 26, that being FUTTIES. This is one of the most exciting times in the Ultimate Team mode, because these cards are incredibly overpowered with some of the biggest stats in the entirety of the game, such as a plethora of 99-rated cards.

While the FUTTIES promotion doesn't officially begin until Friday July 24, for the last week or so, Ultimate Team players have been able to earn FUTTIES tokens that can be spent on packs, exclusive players, and some evolution chains, such as the ‘The Perfect 10’ which costs 1,000 tokens.

What is ‘The Perfect 10’ evolution card?

“Transform into a true playmaker who controls the tempo and delivers in decisive moments. Become crafted for flawless control, pure class, and footballing perfection,” reads its description.

It will increase all eligible cards for evolution to a 98 overall. However, there are some conditions: the card is only available to CAM players with a maximum rating of 95 and four PlayStyle+’s. It also cannot be used on a World Tour Silver Superstar card.

Once the evolution is activated on your desired player, you will just have to play them in any five Ultimate Team matches over five levels (one match per level).
