Born to Shine Evolution FC 26

Born to Shine Evolution in FC 26 provides a complete upgrade for your strikers. All the face stats except for defense will get a boost.

Like most of the Evolutions in the early days, it has a low overall cap of 80 OVR, so you'll have to rummage through your low-rated cards in the club in search of a high-potential player. 

To make your search easier, we've listed several standouts for FC 26's Born to Shine Evolution.

The five best players in FC 26 for Born to Shine Evolution are:

  • Marcus Rashford (Gold)
  • Brandon Thomas-Asante (TOTW)
  • João Félix (Gold)
  • Georginio Rutter (Gold)
  • Darwin Núñez (Gold)

As with any Evolutions that have low maximum overall requirements, you put your selected player through multiple chains to get a well-rounded card. Born to Shine is also best done with chains in mind. 

Our top picks of Marcus Rashford and Brandon Thomas-Asante are good without any other upgrades, however.

Rashford has both the base Rapid and Quick Step PlayStyles, which will make him one of the fastest wingers in the game. The Evo adds Low Driven to make him more clinical when drifting in from the flank to score. The English forward has always been a favorite pick for almost every Evolution he is eligible for, and is a clear winner here as well.

Brandon Thomas-Asante is also another pick you can't go wrong with. With two positions and a base Tiki Taka, he is a versatile forward who should at least make it onto your team sheet. Georginio Rutter, meanwhile, has a 5-star rating in both weak foot and skill move, which instantly makes him a standout.

Overall, any card that has identical stats as our top picks, is easy to link in your squad, and gets good upgrades, is worth the shout.

Yes, Born to Shin Evolution is worth doing in FC 26. It boosts all the stats that matter for an attacker while also providing the base Low Driven playstyle.

Even if, after multiple chains, the player will not make it into your starting eleven, the Evolution does not boost overall past 84, so you can expect another upgrade pretty soon. 

That's everything about the Born to Shine Evolution in FC 26 and the best players for the upgrade.
