The Future Stars campaign is now available in EA FC 24 Ultimate Team, bringing lots of new and exciting content for fans to enjoy. The FS Academy Defenders Evolution is one of those many new additions that this promo introduced to the game. This evolution allows fans to develop a young prospect into a world-class defender by providing stat boosts and new Playstyles.
The newly introduced FS Academy Defenders is a free Evolution that will not cost fans any Ultimate Team coins or FC points to develop their chosen player card. Furthermore, EA Sports has released two copies of this free update, allowing fans to own two Future Star Evolved player cards. However, users should be cautious while selecting the cards, as Evolutions are irreversible and unrepeatable.
