FC 26 Boosting

This week marks the grand finale of FC 26 TOTS selection process, with the rosters for all six squads now having been largely revealed. Consequently, from this Friday onwards, you can focus your efforts on earning players from Ultimate TOTS squad.

However, did you notice that another Evolution campaign also entered a new chapter this week? That campaign is TOTS Career Path.

TOTS Career Path originally launched on May 15th, followed by the release of Path II on the 17th; this week sees the launch of TOTS Career Path III.

In this guide, we will explain how to participate in this Evolution campaign, as well as highlight the significance of the entire series in terms of upgrading your squad.

What is TOTS Career Path?

This is an Evolution series introduced in FC 26, running from May 15, 2026. Its purpose is to upgrade players with lower OVR ratings, boosting their overall rating and various other attributes, while also granting them TOTS Trait.

Although the name includes TOTS, the objective of this Evolution is to help you elevate standard player cards into TOTS-level items; it is not a campaign restricted solely to players who already possess a TOTS card.

Participation methods

As a comprehensive series, the player you select must have already completed TOTS Career Path Starter and Path II stages in order to continue their Evolution in Path III, which is also the final installment of the series, released this week.

The entire TOTS Career Path campaign spans three weeks, meaning you have until June 5th to evolve any player who meets the requirements for TOTS Career Path Starter stage.

TOTS Career Path Starter

To participate in this Evolution stage, you must ensure that your selected player meets the following statistical requirements:

• OVR: No higher than 89
• Total Positions: No more than 4
• PlayStyles: No more than 10
• PlayStyles+: No more than 2
• Rarity: Must not be World Tour Silver Stars
• Primary Position: Must not be CB

Path Starter consists of three Evolution levels. The upgrade conditions for each level require you to play a match, using your selected player, in Squad Battles, Rush, Rivals, Champions, or Live Events, at a minimum difficulty setting of Semi-Pro.

Upon completing each match, your player card will receive a specific set of attribute upgrades. The specific details are as follows:

TOTS Career Path II

Starting from this section, the evolution process becomes more specialized; only players occupying LM, RM, and CAM positions are eligible to participate in their own exclusive Evolution paths.

However, aside from the specific position, all other evolution requirements remain the same:

• OVR: Exactly 90
• Total Positions: No more than 6
• PlayStyles: No more than 10
• PlayStyles+: No more than 3
• Rarity: TOTS Evolution

The conditions for earning attribute upgrades in Path II are identical to those in Starter phase; however, with each completed stage, the specific attribute upgrades a player receives will vary depending on their position (LM, RM, and CAM):

TOTS Career Path III

As the final installment of the entire Evolution series, the player positions eligible for TOTS Career Path III include LW, RW, and CM.

Aside from the requirement of having an OVR of exactly 91, all other requirements remain identical to those of Path II.

Once you have selected the player you wish to evolve through Part III, simply use them to complete three matches, just as you did for the first two evolution stages, to unlock all attribute upgrades:

Please note that all player attribute boosts have a maximum cap; no bonus effect can push a player's final stat value beyond this established limit.

That covers everything you need to know to participate in the complete TOTS Career Path evolution. If you have eligible players in your squad, seize this opportunity to enhance their abilities and have them play alongside your standard TOTS players!

This Friday, the full EA FC 26 TOTS Ultimate lineup will be revealed. This squad brings together the absolute highest-tier player cards in the game, including names like Kylian Mbappé and Lamine Yamal.

The official team has already released detailed stats for a few players, such as Antoine Griezmann. While the complete 60-player roster has now leaked, some major stars are conspicuously absent from the selection – let's take a look at the entire leaked list.

EA FC 26 TOTS Ultimate Squad Leaks

According to the leak, this TOTS Ultimate features 60 players, and surprisingly includes three cards rated 92 OVR. The developers likely included these low-overall TOTS Ultimate cards mainly as fodder, to prevent the market value of TOTS material cards from skyrocketing above 25,000 FC 26 coins again.

However, this has also led to the inclusion of many filler cards that dilute the pool. As a result, pulling a top-tier card has become even harder for players. The probability of getting a 97 OVR card is only 1%, while 90% of the pulls fall within the 92-93 OVR range.

Leaked Player List:

1. 97 OVR Lamine Yamal RW
2. 97 OVR Claudia Pina LW
3. 97 OVR Harry Kane ST
4. 97 OVR Vitinha CM

Every player in this TOTS Ultimate has at least three Playstyle+ traits. Those with 97 OVR all come with four Playstyle+ traits. Among the remaining 50 players, only Lionel Messi (96 OVR) also boasts 4 Playstyle+ traits; stars like Mbappé and Erling Haaland have only three. While they remain elite cards, their value may not match that of the 97-OVR ones.

What frustrates players even more, however, is the absence of some of the most anticipated names – Virgil van Dijk, Saliba, and Jude Bellingham, for instance, are not included. This might be linked to the underwhelming performances this year from teams like Manchester City, Paris Saint-Germain, Real Madrid, Liverpool, and Chelsea.

With many top stars missing and so many fodder cards stuffed into the squad, a lot of players feel that the developers have acted in bad faith. In their view, this lineup is even worse than UTOTS squad from FUT 25.

End of an Era SBC

Arriving this Friday alongside UTOTS, some of End of an Era SBC's player list and Playstyle+ traits have also been leaked – though we cannot confirm their exact stats yet.

95 OVR Mohamed Salah, RW/RM

• Playstyle+: Finesse Shot+ / Rapid+ / Technical+

96 OVR Antoine Griezmann, ST/CF/CAM

• Playstyle+: Finesse Shot+ / Incisive+ / Quick Step+

95 OVR Bernardo Silva, RW/CAM/CM

• Playstyle+: Low Driven+ / Technical+ / Pinged Pass+

91 OVR John Stones, CB/CDM

• Playstyle+: Intercept+ / Pinged Pass+ / Anticipate+

End of an Era series is among the most commemorative card types in FC 26. In this release, Salah and Griezmann are undoubtedly the biggest highlights. Even though their precise stats remain unconfirmed, their Playstyle+ combinations already look quite impressive.

Furthermore, these End of an Era cards feature Icon chemistry. This means that no matter which squad you put them in, chemistry will be easily satisfied. You could even place them all in the same starting eleven without any chemistry issues at all.

How the developers set the requirements for these cards will directly affect their value for players. It is advisable to stock up on Team of the Week and Team of the Season fodder cards in advance to prepare for potentially high-cost SBCs.

That covers all the leaked EA FC 26 TOTS Ultimate squad and SBCs. If you find it hard to pull good cards from packs, turning your attention to End of an Era SBC might just be a solid alternative.
