The Birthday Warmup Evolution is now live in FC 26, and it appears that EA Sports is beginning the FUT Birthday celebrations early.
This paid evolution is pretty expensive at 60,000 coins, but it offers a unique set of boosts. While your chosen card won’t receive any stat boosts, playstyles, or roles, its weak foot and skills will be upgraded to five stars.
Let’s look at the best possible candidates for this evolution so that you don’t waste your hard-earned coins.

If you use this evolution as a standalone, it won’t be worth the coins. However, if you can include it in a chain, the potential value improves a lot. For example, you can use it on an 87-rated card to give it five-star weak foot and skill moves.
Next, you can either add a playstyle+ manually or use it in an evolution that adds a second playstyle+. This evolution will be focused on improving the cards’ stats and adding more playstyles and roles. Having such a strong card with five-star weak foot and skills will be immensely helpful in all competitive modes.
