The EA FC 26 Mindset Training Evolution is now live in Ultimate Team, allowing fans to provide a well-rounded upgrade to a player of their choice. This is a free EVO and does not require any coins or FC Points to be unlocked, which will make it even more popular as it could serve as an excellent option for those looking to create chain EVO players.
The EA FC 26 Mindset Training Evolution offers a combination of meta Playstyles and attribute boosts to specific stats. With how the stat boosts are distributed, this EVO will be best used for upgrading box-to-box midfielders, as it upgrades defensive, dribbling and attacking traits as well.
