As the week wraps up in EA FC 26, many players rush to finish their daily objectives and unlock as many rewards as possible. Among the fastest ways to strengthen your squad, Evolution events remain the most reliable. These upgrades allow you to elevate selected cards as long as they meet the event's requirements. Two new Evolutions-The Wizard and Tricks and Flicks-offer valuable boosts, especially for creative playmakers and skill-heavy attackers. Here's a concise breakdown of what they offer and how to make the most of them.

The Wizard Evolution

Estimated cost:

About 40,000 EAFC 26 Coins or 400 FC Points

Completion: Roughly 6 matches

If you're short on coins or points, buying coins becomes a quicker route than grinding small rewards. The Wizard focuses on boosting technical players, particularly those who thrive in possession-based systems.

Requirements

While exact conditions vary depending on the patch, The Wizard typically accepts:

Mid-tier CAMs, CMs, or wide playmakers

Players below a certain OVR threshold

Cards with moderate passing and dribbling stats

Restrictions on skill moves, weak foot, or pace before upgrading

Rewards

Expect boosts such as:

Significant upgrades to passing

Better dribbling and ball control

Improved weak foot or skill moves

Overall rating increases suitable for Division Rivals and Weekend League

This Evolution is ideal for creative facilitators-those who generate chances rather than finish them.

Tricks and Flicks Evolution

This Evolution focuses on flair attackers who rely on agility and skill. If you enjoy fast-paced dribbling and technical 1v1 gameplay, this event is tailor-made for you.

Requirements

Common criteria include:

Attacking players under a certain OVR

Wingers, strikers, or wide forwards

Minimum dribbling or agility stats

Caps on pace or skill moves before upgrading

Rewards

Typical upgrades include:

Higher pace

Strong dribbling boosts

Upgraded skill moves

Enhanced shooting for more reliable finishing

These improvements help turn an average attacker into a dangerous skiller capable of creating highlight-level plays.

Best Strategy for Completing Both Evolutions

Choose players with strong traits. Selecting cards that already excel in the targeted stats makes the upgrades more impactful.

Complete objectives in easier modes. Squad Battles or lower divisions speed up match requirements.

Use chemistry links wisely. An evolved player often becomes a core piece-build your team around their league and nationality.

Avoid overinvesting. Don't pick cards that you plan to replace soon; Evolutions are most useful when applied to long-term starters.

Why Participate in Evolutions?

Evolutions are one of the most efficient ways to build a competitive squad without relying solely on pack luck. They:

Provide powerful upgrades with predictable results

Let you personalize your club by evolving favorite players

Increase squad depth in multiple positions

Offer strong value compared to many SBCs or pack purchases

For players wanting meaningful improvement with minimal risk, Evolutions remain one of the game's best features. The Wizard and Tricks and Flicks continue this trend by boosting technical creators and flair attackers-two roles essential for modern FC gameplay.

Use these events to enhance your key players, expand your tactical options, and stay competitive as new weekly challenges and promos continue to roll out.
