FC 26’s Speed Merchant Evolution lets players spend 100,000 coins to substantially improve an eligible attacker or midfielder card. It is chiefly aimed at boosting pace and shooting, but the article notes that its restrictions may make it more useful as part of a longer Evolution chain than as a standalone upgrade.

Eligible cards must be rated no higher than 96 overall, have at most 10 PlayStyles and four PlayStyle+, and cannot be centre-backs or goalkeepers. Across three levels, the Evolution can raise overall rating to 97, acceleration and sprint speed to 97, several shooting attributes to 95, and weak foot by four stars; each level requires playing one match in an eligible mode. Suggested choices include FUTTIES Renato Sanches and Perisic, Captains Mbappé, Primetime Yamal, Zidane and Haaland, plus Vinícius Jr., Alexia Putellas, Ødegaard, Mateo and Kaká.
