- Key Update: A chain Evolution found in the Season 7 free track, specifically designed to make Silver ICON cards.
- Status: Live
- Last Verified: April 27, 2026.
- Quick Answer: The WTSS Journey allows you to take Silver ICON and boost them to a 92 OVR powerhouse with 3 PlayStyle+ slots. You must complete all three stages (found at Levels 3, 8, and 21 of the Season Pass) on the same player to reach the maximum potential.
Similar to Make Your Idol Evolution last time, WTSS Journey is an Evolution chain where you have multiple upgrade paths. It is exclusively for Silver ICONs, having been restricted from pretty much all other upgrades in the past few seasons.
This does seem like a token gesture in response to the ongoing complaints from players about the lack of Evolutions for Silver ICONs. But you can make a powerful ICON card for free with the chain.

WTSS Journey Evolution Explained
WTSS Journey is a chained Evolution path in FC 26. You start with Journey 1, then Journey 2, and then finally Journey 3. That's the sequence you must follow. All the Evolutions are in the free track of Season 7.
Every time you unlock these Evolutions in the pass, you'll have to choose among Attacker, Defender, and Midfielder versions of the upgrade.
Since each of them has positional restrictions, it is best to stick with the attacker path if you're doing an attacker, and likewise for the other two positions.
For example, R9 is only eligible for WTSS Journey Attacker 1, 2, and 3 chains, and you won't be able to give him a midfield boost.
Some cards with two alternate positions, such as Ruud Gullit, can stray from the path. You have to keep the position and overall eligibility in check.
So, to sum up, once you hit the different levels of Season Pass, you can claim the Evolution. It'll be a choice between Attacker, Midfielder, and Defender Evolutions. Pick one and then toss your Silver ICONs on each of the three Evolutions, starting with Journey 1.
Remember, all three Evolutions have to be done on the same card. You cannot do Journey 1 on one player and 2 on another.
Best Players for WTSS Journey 1, 2, & 3 Evolution in FC 26
Pretty much every ICON will end up with similar stats, so you can choose your favorite ICON for the WTSS Journey Evolution. Their existing PS is going to make a big difference, though. We suggest picking cards with meta PS.
While you can mix attacker, midfielder, or a similar combo depending on the ICON's position, for most cards, it is best to stick to their natural position path.
Keeping all that in mind, here are the five standout Silver ICONs you can pick from:
- Ronaldo Nazário (WTSS Journey - Attacker)
- Paolo Maldini (WTSS Journey - Defender)
- Ruud Gullit (WTSS Journey - Midfielder)
- Samuel Eto'o (WTSS Journey - Attacker)
- Lilian Thuram (WTSS Journey - Defender)
Pick whoever you have among the five, based on the position you need to fill. All of them end up being excellent cards with a strong range of PlayStyles.
