The Future Stars Academy Evolution has arrived in FC 26, and you can turn two prodigies into Ultimate Team stars.
The evolution can be done twice, and both chances are available for free. There are certain restrictions that determine which items can be used. You can completely change the look and feel of these cards with dedicated position, roles, and playstyles upgrades.
Let’s look at how you can make the most of these evolutions in Ultimate Team.

The Future Stars Academy allows you to evolve two cards. One of the two cards has to be from the selected group of 11 cards that EA Sports has provided for free to all of us. The second card can be put into the Future Stars Academy Contract Evolution.
The requirements are simple: they must be born on or after Jan. 30, 2004, and their overall rating must not be above 84.
