EA FC 24 Brand New Nine Evolution guide: Best players to use, all upgrades, and requirements

Brand New Nine Evolution was released in EA FC 24 today, August 24, 2024. It is free and can provide some good upgrades to lower-rated fodder cards, making them First-11 worthy. One of the most popular cards you can incorporate into this Evo is the TOTS Cole Palmer, upgrading it from 94 to 97 overall using the FUTTIES FOUNDERS Evo.

This evolution is decent and requires a bit of grinding. The evolution has three levels, for which you must play a minimum of nine matches. Considering the overall upgrade, the grind is not worth it at this late stage of the game. Especially when you can pack better players grinding the 84+ X10 SBC infinitely.
