FC 26 Boosting

No Entry Evolution is one of the most appealing center-back evolutions in EA SPORTS FC 26, transforming a 92-rated center-back into a true defensive bulwark after three upgrade levels. The attribute improvements primarily focus on heading, interception, defensive awareness, tackling, and physical duels.

If your club has the right player card, this evolution is definitely worth trying. This article provides information on No Entry Evolution in FC 26 to help you make your decision.

Evolution Requirements

Before selecting a player card, please ensure it meets all the requirements. The specific details are as follows:

• Overall: Exactly 92
• PlayStyle: Max 10
• PlayStyle+: Max 3
• Position: CB only
• Not Rarity: World Tour Silver Stars

An overall rating of 92 is the strictest selection criterion here. If you happen to have it, you can use it directly. If not, you may need to specifically look for a center-back with a rating of 92 who meets or falls below the playing style threshold.

Overall Upgrade

FUT 26 No Entry Evolution is divided into three levels. Each level requires playing one match in any mode with the player you activated the evolution to unlock. The completion requirements are very low, so the focus is entirely on which card you choose to upgrade.

Level 1 upgrades

• Overall: +1
• Heading Accuracy: +10 (capped at 94)
• Interceptions: +10 (capped at 96)
• Defensive Awareness: +10 (capped at 96)
• PlayStyle+: Intercept (up to 3)

Level 2 upgrades

• Jumping: +10 (capped at 94)
• Slide Tackle: +10 (capped at 95)
• Stand Tackle: +10 (capped at 95)
• PlayStyle+: Anticipate, Jockey (up to 3)
• PlayStyle: Bruiser (up to 8)

Level 3 upgrades

• Aggression: +10 (capped at 95)
• Stamina: +10 (capped at 92)
• Strength: +10 (capped at 95)
• PlayStyles: Block, Aerial Fortress, Slide Tackle

Upgraded to level 3, your center-back will have 96 interception, 96 defensive awareness, 95 standing tackle and sliding tackle, 95 strength, and 95 aggression. The evolved player, combined with Aerial Fortress, becomes a formidable threat to the opponent.

Player Recommendations

Based on the above, let's analyze the best candidates for this evolution.

Andreas Brehme

Andreas Brehme already possesses top-tier defensive skills and tracking ability in FIFA 26. Combined with the powerful defensive boost from No Entry Evolution, he's easily placed among the top center-backs.

Furthermore, he pairs exceptionally well with other top players. If you primarily use a fast-paced attacking style, or simply want a reliable, plug-and-play defender, Andreas Brehme will not disappoint.

Riccardo Calafiori

If you're a competitive player eager to climb the ranks in Rivals mode, Riccardo Calafiori is the perfect choice. After evolving, his tackling and physical attributes significantly improved, making him an elite defender who can also play multiple positions with exceptional flexibility. This versatility makes him very popular among players.

Alberto Gilardino

As a center-back, he already possesses excellent base speed. This evolution raises his defensive awareness to 96. This means he's almost always in the right position, making interceptions and tackles with astonishing consistency. If you're building a league team in FUT 26, he's an extremely cost-effective option, performing like a legendary player.

Pau Cubarsí 

He is a high-rated, young defender with excellent ball-playing stats. When evolved, he also reaches a game-changing 96 Defensive Awareness . This stat alone makes him one of the most reliable, budget-friendly center-backs in FC 26. He offers incredible value for money, maximizing the return on investment for a evolution .

Tommaso Pobega

Tommaso Pobega's strengths lie in his height and build, making him inherently intimidating. More importantly, he can play both center-back and defensive midfielder. This dual-position ability allows you to use him as a defensive anchor. 

After evolving, his already strong physique and defensive capabilities become even more impressive. For hardcore players looking to reduce goals conceded, Tommaso Pobega is a top choice.

Van de Ven

Van de Ven is suitable because his base attributes before evolution lean towards speed and physicality. Therefore, the improved defensive awareness and tackling ability after evolution compensate for these shortcomings, rather than simply increasing his already high stats.

Besides these players, other strong players worth considering include Shaw Showdown, Ndicka TOTS, Crama TOTS, Pubill TOTS, Chiellini GOTG, Doue TOTS HM, and Makhanya PTG.

If you see a player card, you like but lack funds, you can buy FC 26 Coins from IGGM.com to trade, we will provide the safest and fastest way to acquire them.

How to Fully Utilize Evolution?

After completing No Entry Evolution, the player card can naturally integrate into a four-defender or three-defender formation. A 96 overall rating in defensive awareness and interceptions makes him ideal for high-block setups, as your center-back needs to anticipate passes and intercept through balls.

Aerial Fortress playstyle means you can also actively use this player on set pieces, both defensively and in corner attacks. 95 strength and 95 aggression mean he can handle fast forwards in physical duels, strength and aggression being weaknesses of low-rated center-backs in the current version of FIFA 26.

Compared to Other CB Evolution Projects

No Entry Evolution aims to turn a solid 92 overall rating center-back into a top-tier defensive option. Unlike paid projects like Piscinin Evolution, No Entry Evolution doesn't require a large investment of FUT 26 Coins; it's a free path through European objective questline, though at the cost of a 92 overall rating, which reduces its flexibility.

If you're also building players in other positions, that's also possible. Each evolution follows a separate objective path, so you can work on two projects simultaneously without conflict. 

This concludes our article on EA FC 26 No Entry Evolution. If you have suitable players, don't hesitate to participate in No Entry Evolution. It's the best way to maximize your center-back abilities and significantly boost your squad strength.

Another week has passed, did the World Cup team you support advance, or did they bow out? Regardless, if you're playing FC 26, make sure to check if you've unlocked all Glory Hunters Team 1 players you wanted, because Team 2 is just around the corner!

Although they belong to the same promo, the player rewards for Team 1 and Team 2 are largely separate; this means you must obtain them during their respective one-week availability windows.

Here, we'll introduce the exclusive player cards coming with Glory Hunters Team 2 and explain how to get them. We'll also provide some tips for wrapping up Team 1, just in case you need them.

Glory Hunters Team 2 schedule

As the second phase of Glory Hunters promo, Team 2 launches this Friday, July 3, immediately following the end of Team 1, and runs until the following Friday, July 10.

Importantly, Team 2 window coincides with the conclusion of the 2026 World Cup Round of 16 and the start of the quarter-finals. Consequently, the playable content in FC 26 will be even richer than last week's.

Leaked Team 2 lineup

You may have your own personal favorites in Team 1, but in terms of value, Glory Hunters Team 2 players are just as significant. Some are long-time fan favorites, while others have recently burst onto the scene during the World Cup.

• Erling Haaland
• Mohamed Salah
• Declan Rice
• Raphinha
• Gabriel
• Nuno Mendes
• Viktor Gyökeres
• Bruno Guimarães
• Antoine Semenyo
• Nico Williams
• Julián Álvarez
• Theo Hernández
• Giovanni Reyna
• Romelu Lukaku
• Rodrigo De Paul

In addition to the cards that drop randomly in packs, around 10 players will be available as SBC or Objective rewards over the coming week. Since these are guaranteed rewards, they are definitely not to be missed.

How to get Team 2 players?

First, SBC or Objective reward cards are earned simply by completing specific tasks. Along the way, you'll also earn potential pack rewards; opening these during Glory Hunters Team 2 gives you a chance to pull the new cards.

For seasoned FUT 26 players, SBCs are likely the easiest tasks to complete, simply select players from your club that meet the requirements to build your squad.

Individual objectives usually consist of a series of tasks; completing each one grants a reward, and finishing the entire set unlocks a bonus, such as rarer packs or the specific reward card featured in Glory Hunters Team 2.

As for Team 2 cards that drop randomly from packs, getting the ones you want ultimately comes down to luck; however, if there is a specific card you absolutely don't want to miss, you can consume coins or points in the store to redeem more packs and try your luck.

Alternatively, if you dislike leaving your fate to RNG, you can trade directly on the transfer market. The advantage here is that you can acquire exactly the card you want, though the downside is that it may need more coins.

Given this, we recommend securing FC 26 coins for sale at IGGM in advance and acquiring the cards before Team 2 ends. Once the event concludes, these cards will no longer appear in packs, making them much rarer.

Do keep in mind that when opening packs, you might pull common cards that aren't immediately useful to you. You can sell duplicates right away; for non-duplicates, be sure to check details like the player's nationality and club, as they might help you complete future SBCs.

Why participate in Glory Hunters Team 2?

If you took part in Team 1, you know the value of Glory Hunters lies in the player card rewards, which allow you to customize PlayStyles or PlayStyle+.

As two of the most important and rarest card attributes in FC 26, PlayStyles and PlayStyle+ determine a player card's maximum potential and the variety of gameplay strategies you can employ with them.

More specifically, after obtaining a Team 2 player, you can gradually unlock a unique skill tree through limited-time Live matches, specific FC 26 objectives, and multi-stage Evolutions, eventually upgrading them into a powerhouse equipped with four PlayStyle+ traits.

Additionally, Glory Hunters Team 1 and 2 players are classified as Showdown items; this means their stats fluctuate based on real-world World Cup progress, allowing you to experience an authentic, real-time match atmosphere in FUT 26.

To unlock the fourth PlayStyle+ for your Team 2 player, you need to acquire Glory Hunters Evolution consumable, which is also available as a reward for certain objectives and SBCs over the coming week.

How to wrap up Team 1 perfectly?

With only about a day left until Glory Hunters Team 1 ends, make sure to prioritize completing any remaining SBCs and objectives that are within your reach.

If you have any unopened packs saved up, go ahead and open them all now, unless you have already completed your Team 1 player collection. In that case, you might want to hold onto them to give your Team 2 progress a boost.

It is also worth noting that the final match of Journey of Nations objective series, the European leg, will go live alongside Glory Hunters Team 2, so be sure to make time to complete it!

That covers everything for now; we hope this helps you get the most out of your FUT 26 experience over the coming week! Good luck!
