Cards and the general rewards for all past seasons in FC 26, including Season 4, have been forgettable. None of them were tempting enough for us to consider them a must-buy. Evolutions have, however, remained the only thing worth having a second thought about.
Both the free and premium reward tracks for this season have several great Evolutions. Check all Evolutions available for Season 4 of FC 26, including the best players for each one below.
All Evolutions in FC 26 Season 4 - Free track and Best Players
New players in FC 26 will continue to pop through promos, objectives, SBCs, and other rewards. The best players currently might not be the best when you unlock the Evolution from the season track. It also depends on the chain potential available.

Some things to keep in mind while upgrading are the existing chain potential. Avoid bringing the card's overall too high for just a few upgrades, and make sure the added boost actually benefits the position or role the player has in your team.
