The Team of the Year promotion is a milestone event in every Ultimate Team calendar. Fans await this event for the entire year as it brings with it several overpowered cards, exciting Squad Building Challenges (SBCs), and Evolutions. The “TOTY Center Back Prospect” Evolution is one of those new additions, and as the name suggests, it allows fans to strengthen a Center Back by increasing defensive stats and providing new Playstyles.
The newly launched “TOTY Center Back Prospect” is completely free and will not require fans to spend Ultimate Team coins or FC points to evolve their chosen card. However, fans must be cautious to avoid wasting the free upgrade by making the wrong decision, as the Evolution cannot be undone or redone once a player is locked in.
