FC 26 WTSS Journey Evolution: Overview and Requirements
The WTSS Journey Evolution has been added to FC 26 Ultimate Team as part of the Season 7 pass. This feature allows players to upgrade a World Tour Silver Superstar (WTSS) card of their choice. The evolution process is divided into three stages, each offering substantial stat improvements. Since the upgrade can only be applied to one card, selecting the right player is essential to maximize its potential.
FC 26 WTSS Journey Evolution Requirements
To use the WTSS Journey Evolution, you must meet the following criteria:
- A World Tour Silver Superstar card that has not been upgraded at all.
- The card must have three evolution stages and three different variants based on position:
- Defender: LB, RB, CB
- Midfielder: CDM, CAM, CM
- Striker: ST, LW, RW (LM and RM included)
- The WTSS item must have a maximum of 10 playstyles and one PlayStyle+.
- There are no overall requirements, so older WTSS cards may qualify as long as they meet the above conditions.
