I was two matches into Squad Battles when I noticed a 92-rated CAM on my bench that could become a striker with a single evolution. You feel that twitch—the card is sitting there, potential wasted while your rivals score. I mapped the shortest, safest path so you can pick the best candidates and finish both stages without regret.
On my controller right now: FC 26 FUTTIES Blueprint Evolution requirements
I’ll keep this tight: there are two evolution stages and specific build windows for each. Use the Blueprint to boost a lower-rated card into a FUTTIES item and add customizable PlayStyles—yes, you can convert a CAM into an ST with the right inputs.
Blueprint 1 (stage 1) requirements
- Overall: Max 96
- Total Positions: Max 5
- PlayStyle: Max 10
- PlayStyle+: Max 4
- Position: CAM
Blueprint 2 (stage 2) requirements
- Overall: Exactly 97
- PlayStyle: Max 10
- PlayStyle+: Max 4
- Rarity: Futties Evo
- Not Position: GK
What are the FUTTIES Blueprint requirements in FC 26?
Short answer: meet the listed overall and PlayStyle caps, slot a CAM for the first stage, and return with a Futties Evo item at exactly 97 overall for stage two. Use FUTBIN or FUTWIZ to confirm the exact stat spreads before you commit—those tools save mistakes when you’re juggling chains and rare cards.

The evolution splits into two parts: a five-level first stage, then a two-level second stage. Each level unlocks only after playing a single qualifying match with the active EVO card—quick, repeatable chores that feel like small chores but add up in value.

How do you complete the FUTTIES Blueprint upgrades?
Each level is unlocked by playing a single qualifying match with that EVO card in your active lineup. If you run this on PlayStation or Xbox, keep an eye on substitutions—if the EVO card doesn’t hit the pitch the match won’t count. I recommend using low-pressure Squad Battles or a Live Event to tick these off fast.
At the transfer market: Best players to use in FUTTIES Blueprint Evolution
I’ve tested combinations that convert CAMs into finishers and keep chemistry intact. Think of the process like swapping engine parts in a race car: you want parts that fit, perform, and don’t blow the budget. Below are the candidates I’d prioritize and why.
- Ronaldinho Trophy Titans — creativity and flair; the PlayStyle options make him flexible as a false nine.
- Gakpo PTG — excellent base stats to reach the 97 window without excessive chains.
- Charlton Ultimate Birthday Icon — high ceilings but requires a chain; great if you can manage SBC route.
- Mastantuano Showdown — niche, needs a chain; his sprint/finishing mix is striker-ready.
- Vicky Lopez UWCL Winners — modern attacker profile, fits the PlayStyle caps well.
- Messi Time Warp — precision dribbling and finishing; converts beautifully into ST for finesse shots.
- Gullit WTSS — physical and technical balance; useful if you want impact from hold-up play.
- Zidane Trophy Titans — technical mastery; great for link-heavy squads.
- Ginola Joga Bonito — flair, dribbling and pace that surprises defenders.
- Cruyff Winter Wildcards — chain required; genius for creative systems.
- Henry Winter Wildcards — similar to Cruyff: pace plus instincts.
- Luis Suarez Time Warp — pure striker instincts; converts cleanly to ST.
- Maradona WTSS — if you can field him, his dribble-to-finish ceiling is enormous.
Use FUTBIN and FUTWIZ to simulate the final 97/98 spreads and the PlayStyle caps before you commit any rare chains. I’ll be blunt: wasting a Futties Evo on the wrong base item stings more than a replay loss.
Think of this as turning a rough sketch into a gallery portrait—small choices in build and PlayStyles determine whether the card becomes iconic or just pretty to look at. Which of these candidates will you risk your EVO on?
