The Backline Boost Evolution is now live in FC 26 Ultimate Team, and you can use it to upgrade the defenders of your team. Available for free, you can use it up to a maximum of 10 times. You can also use it more than once on the same card as long as the requirements are valid.
Let’s look at the best choices for the evolution based on the requirements and offered upgrades.

Since the evolution doesn’t raise the overall rating of the card, you can use it as part of some exciting chains. Moreover, you can also use it to upgrade your Bronze/Silver cards since a single item can receive multiple upgrades. Either way, use all ten counts as early as possible before the evolution expires from Ultimate Team.
