FC 26 Fantasy FC Guide: Players and Upgrade Paths Explained

EA returned one of the fan favourite events, Fantasy FC, to FC 26. This event will follow the pattern of other live events, where the player cards, their overall ratings and playstyle upgrades they receive will depend on how they actually play on their matchdays. The better they perform, the better cards users get in the game. Check our FC 26 Fantasy FC guide to know more.

FC 26 Fantasy FC Arrives in the Game

FC 26 Fantasy FC arrived in the game after the daily reset on February 20, 2026. The promo introduced many new cards whose OVR and Playstyles will be boosted based on their real-life performances over the next few weeks.

As per the official announcements, both regular and hero cards released in the promo will follow a different upgrade path. This FC 26 Fantasy FC guide will help you understand the paths.

FC 26 Fantasy FC Upgrade Paths

The FC 26 Fantasy FC Upgrade Path will follow the performance of the clubs and players and reward their cards with higher OVR and more playstyles if they accomplish the set objectives. This means the players and their clubs that score more goals and keep more clean sheets will get better upgrades.

Needless to say, goals scored will be a metric for the attackers and clean sheets for the defenders and goalkeepers. The players will get tracked once they show up in the Football Ultimate Team for the first time.

The players will receive an upgrade only if they have played at least 60 minutes in the matches. Team Points and Team Goals Upgrade will be based on the club's result. All non-seasonal upgrades will depend on the Domestic League games.
