Made for those who love to put the ball under their feet and cut their way to victory, EA FC 26‘s new free That Ball is Mine evolution allows you to give your favorite dribblers both Rapid+ and all ball control PlayStyles.
The above, however, is not the evolution’s biggest strength, as its low OVR increase also allows it to be used to set up some monstrous creations. To help you invest wisely, here are the best players for the new That Ball is Mine evolution in EA FC 26.

That Ball Is Mine Evolution Requirements And Upgrades
Availalbe until February 22, EA FC 26‘s That Ball is Mine is a straightforward evolution capable of providing up to two under-86-OVR non-World Tour Silver Superstars players with +5 DRI and the following selection of PlayStyles: Rapid+ (or Rapid in case your player already has a PS+), Technical, First Touch, Trickster, Gamechanger, and Press Proven. As hinted above, the evolution will also only provide a +1 OVR increase.
The Best Players For That Ball Is Mine Evolution In EA FC 26
Given his already meta pairing of Finesse Shot+, Low Driven Shot, and Tiki Taka, I consider Future Stars Joe Gelhardt to be the best pick for the That Ball is Mine evolution in EA FC 26. With his ability to stay within the 86-OVR window while still getting Rapid+ as his differential, Flashback Edin Džeko is also a perfect fit, although his low PAC might require future investments.
Among the Rare Gold cards, Messi is by far the best, as the addition of Rapid and his already high Ball Control allows him to leave all markers in the dust, even while still having under 80 PAC. If you don’t care about the meta or just want to use your second try on an out-of-the-box find, I’m having a lot of fun with Ratings Reload Anthony, who already has Base Tiki Taka and Finesse Shot in his arsenal. To recap, here are the best players for the That Ball is Mine evolution in FC 26, as well as a few other alternatives:
- Future Stars Joe Gelhardt (86-OVR / ST)
- Flashback Edin Džeko (85-OVR / ST)
- Winter Wildcards Armand Laurienté (86-OVR / LW)
- Winter Wildcards Red Dan Ndoye (85-OVR / LM)
- Gold Rare Lionel Messi (86 OVR / RW)
- Gold Rare Nico Williams (86 OVR / LM)
- Gold Rare Salma Paralluelo (84 OVR / LW)
Keep in mind that we don’t recommend using Icons as your That Ball is Mine picks, as the evolution can do more harm than good via its PlayStyles overdose. The best example of that? Winter Wildcards Thierry Henry, whose lack of any type of passing-focused PlayStyle will force you to pair the above with a PS+ evolution if you want to maximize his performance.
