EA FC 26 Sideline Rise Evolution: Best players to use, all upgrades, requirements, and more

EA Sports has released the EA FC 26 Sideline Rise Evolution in Ultimate Team, allowing gamers to upgrade low-tier wingers on the virtual pitch and transform them into useful players. This is a free EVO and does not require any coins or FC Points to be completed, which will make it an even more popular choice amongst gamers.

This is the second EVO to be released that can be applied only to silver and bronze players, with Striker's Rise being the first. With the Cornerstones promo providing fans with plenty of overpowered and high-rated items to add to their squads, the EA FC 26 Sideline Rise Evolution is a welcome change as it allows them to focus on low-rated players as well.
