In addition to all of the new Heroes and Icons arriving, EA is introducing a new element to Ultimate Team known as Evolution where you have the opportunity to earn better players without the need to spend your hard-earned coins.

But, before we reveal more about EA Sports FC 24 Evolution, take a look at our other guides highlighting the latest early access intel and our pre-order guide which contains all of the bonuses you can earn ahead of launch.

What is EA Sports FC 24 Evolution?

EA Sports FC 24 Evolution is a new feature making its way to Ultimate Team. It enables you to increase the overall rating and stats of players by completing challenges and objectives.

You'll have the opportunity to evolve every single player in Ultimate Team, including Icons and Team of the Week (TOTW) players.

For example, Borussia Dortmund's Youssoufa Moukoko starts off as a silver player with an overall of 70. After completing two Evolution challenges, Moukoko becomes a gold card with an overall of 85.

Alongside increases in stats, the evolutions will also improve their individual skills, Playstyles, and card designs.

According to EA, it appears you can perform an evolution on any player in Ultimate Team. Whether it's a TOTW Haaland or a standard Nick Pope, there are opportunities to improve their in-game performance without spending coins or FIFA Points to use on packs.
